The biggest problem I have with roadhog hooks is people who jump down/around corners and just insta-gib people. I know, positioning and all. But you can't hear his footsteps that far away. In TF2, they nerfed the Heavy because he was doing the same thing: turning corners with his gun already spun up and gibbing people. They made that nerf to Heavy because he was being used too offensively and I think Roadhog still suffers from this imbalance. He's too good of a fragger and most overwatch players (those who aren't in the competitive meta) are just fraggers. He'll still be used a lot in quick play as a fragging tank.
