Cleanly hook a Pharah through a window They fall from being hooked in the air The hook breaks I hate hook 2.0

[QUOTE=Blueridge;51787830]his toolkit is so fundamentally strong that you'd have to nerf him into the ground to see his pickrates lowered as it stands now, not having a lucio is suicide because its the only way of providing a team wide mobility boost. that has so much utility its ridiculous.[/QUOTE] clearly the solution is to give a speed boost to biotic grenade

My graphics card kind of exploded today. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to play Overwatch during the event any more since playing the game for 5-30 seconds crashed the whole PC. Since the menu still worked I bought Rooster Bastion , the only item I really wanted from this event but never found in roughly 20 boxes. After some tweaking I get the game barely running (30 fps, even worse graphics than lowest settings of game menu) to win 3 rounds of Elimination, and... [T]http://i.imgur.com/UlzvSeG.jpg[/T] I'd really like to know the odds of buying a single epic item and finding exactly that in the next lootbox.

getting oneshot out of nowhere is just the worst fucking thing

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;51787572]So Mcree's old fan the hammer flash bangcombo was intolerable according to the community, but it was not, and still isn't reliable; if you flash a tracer or some other fast moving hero they don't lose all momentum and can fly in some crazy angle making you miss the fash, or give them enough time to escape. This problem is on top of it being a melee range thing you can avoid completely by listening for Mcree's jingle jangling. So they nerfed Fan the hammer into the ground and didn't fix the bugginess. Road hog has what's essentially the exact same thing, but ranged and one shots everything and got some buginess fixed, AND a completely unwarranted buff on top. But people acted like Road Hog not being something other than cream of the crop hero was "the sky falling down" and an attack on ~skill~ by people who refused to git gud. ????[/QUOTE] I fucking hate roadhog right now. He never bothered me before. I've been playing s76 a lot lately and hes the only hero I have trouble with because all he has to do is aim within like 30° of where i am and press shift and I'm guaranteed dead

[QUOTE=Oizen;51787471]Roadhog's hook will never function properly. I don't know why anyone would expect it to. We've had a bout 4 individual patches on changing how it functions. I don't think the engine is capable of making it not bullshit, but then oneshots of roadhog's calibur are bullshit by nature, so who knows.[/QUOTE] oh my god will you ever shut up about the hook it's almost as obnoxious as your dva obsession at this point

Does anyone have that Webm of a Rollercoaster Tycoon ride called "The Sombra ARG experience" where it's just a wooden rollercoaster leaving the station, then going up a lift only to arrive into another station?

So, a friend bought Overwatch for 4 of us and we are in the process to download it and have fun. How can I stop being hookfucked by Roadhog?

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;51788846]oh my god will you ever shut up about the hook it's almost as obnoxious as your dva obsession at this point[/QUOTE] It's a true statement though, Roadhog's hook is broken.

I am not sure, but I think the LOS chain break doesn't work after after the pulling has started. I got rolled down from Anubis's B to the bridge by a falling roadhog ( from the bridge ) who failed to kill me because i was out of his sight

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;51789097]Even then it seems like no matter how far away you are Roadhog's hook still reaches you :v: Seems like the length is completely random every time it is used.[/QUOTE] As someone who plays way too much fucking roadhog, it's not random, it is utterly nonsense though and depends on how fast both parties are moving, plus some factor that just seems to be straight-up server dependent (sometimes "far" hooks are seemingly impossible, while other times I can go 2x the range you'd get with both parties standing still, to the dismay of any Pharah in the game). You should always add a few meters extra onto the "range" of a hog moving towards you, relative to what you would be able to hit while playing him.

I don't think the hook is the problem it's just the fact he can one shot almost anyone after and there are no hard counters. Give me an electric hero that is literally designed to counter the hook lol.

Reinhardt or Zarya are basically hard counters; having a decent one of either will stop him dead in his tracks. [editline]7th February 2017[/editline] If you're playing Rein, tilt the shield back and forth 20 degrees or so wildly if he runs up to you, it makes it really hard to shoot through it, otherwise he can just shoot you through the front by standing close enough. Surprisingly I've only encountered someone doing this once.

I think Zenyatta is pretty good too with his discord orb, since Roadhog is such a big target.

Both a decent Genji and Tracer will fuck him up as well since they're incredibly tiny and can perfectly dodge it if you have a decent reaction time. Genji's deflect hitbox is also the size of a fucking truck so you can deflect his entire ult by jumping anywhere vaguely near him, I suspect anyone decent at Genji already knows this though.

I like Roadhog. He's a nice ult battery.

Thing is, unless Roadhog's gun is given major buffs he'll become useless without his one-shot hook ability.

[QUOTE=R.M.T.B.;51789754]Thing is, unless Roadhog's gun is given major buffs he'll become useless without his one-shot hook ability.[/QUOTE] Before the hook nerf he didn't oneshot a lot of squishies since it didn't pull them close enough. It wouldn't have been that bad and added some ~skill cap~ by having to use hook combos if it wasn't for that it was possible to miss [i]every pellet[/i], which was just fucking physically painful to play. [editline]7th February 2017[/editline] I would say he's in an okay-ish position right now, but I think that if they fix any more bugs they risk accidently buffing him harder than Symmetra. Personally I'd accept a slight shotgun nerf if that happened.

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;51786810]I've played so much Sombra in the last few days, and there's nothing quite like hacking a Mercy before she tries resurrecting her team in the last few seconds of the game :cat:[/QUOTE] You've had some top Sombra plays in our games lad. :joy:

One thing I can agree with is he gets the hook too fast. I'd put it at 12 to 15 seconds myself. Right now it's worth it to spam chokes sometimes because you can try again so fast.

[QUOTE=Tobba;51789414]Reinhardt or Zarya are basically hard counters; having a decent one of either will stop him dead in his tracks. [/QUOTE] I think your definition of counters is off. I personally do not view blocking the combo as a counter, as Roadhog is usually still alive afterwards. The hook isn't really that easy to punish, The heroes with enough mobility to close the gap and do serious damage are a very limited selection, and they only have 6 seconds to do so. And due to how every hero has the exact same mobility, he out ranges Reinhardt. If Reins going to go hammer you, he's in your no hook required range. I tend to win this matchup when I play hog, and I do play hog. Its the fastest way to get 3v3 boxes. Zarya a little more so because she can at least fight him at an awkward range, but unless she's rocking full charge she's not going to be able to take out his hp, meanwhile he's free to pepper her down with M2s. But as a hook preventative I don't view Zarya as that good either, especially considering the hook has a lower CD than Zarya's bubbles. And he could always just hook her first. The only real counter I've found to roadhog is going 2v1 and having one person be a sacrificial lamb, and even then only a select few heroes can actually DPS down his HP+ Regen A counter would be someone who's mostly immune to his combo on a 1v1 level, that currently does not exist. [QUOTE=Flyingman356;51788846]oh my god will you ever shut up about the hook it's almost as obnoxious as your dva obsession at this point[/QUOTE] Is it not a broken buggy mess for everyone involved?

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51790029]The sound of a missed hook is like a siren yelling "I'M EXTREMELY VULNERABLE NOW"[/QUOTE] And then reaper goes in for the kill and gets oneshot by his m1 anyway. He's not as vulnerable as people make it out to be.

[QUOTE=Oizen;51790034]And then reaper goes in for the kill and gets oneshot by his m1 anyway. He's not as vulnerable as people make it out to be.[/QUOTE] Why tf would you go in with reaper? Every other DPS in the game can outrange him and he can do nothing about it when his hook's bust. You're deliberately constructing situations where hog is powerful just because the enemy he's fighting is stupid.
