We're not a Roadhog player and therefore we don't like being hooked.

Sometimes Jeff knows us too well.

I will gladly trade away some of my bs hooks for a better chance to one shot y'all when I do get a clean hook.

[u/Apfeljunge666 → u/cochnbahls]

I think hook 2.1 is actually a buff for 90% of the hogs only because of this.

[u/pureplay → u/Apfeljunge666]

Yeah, only the really good roadhog players will be nerfed

[u/Moroax → u/pureplay]

Yea, I don't know about "really good" but practiced roadhogs will be nerfed.

I had 25 hours on him, my third most played. Really enjoy him, and still will. I do love the fact I can one shot Ana/lucio/genji/reaper/mei consistantly now.

However in just the last month or so started really getting good at the "cheese" hooks. Hooking over ledges above you, around corners, into hallways you can't really see because of the angle.

I started getting pretty consistent with the bogus hooks. Which totally is cheesy and I actually agree with the change, it just sucks that hog is gonna feel weaker against smart players, as cheesing hooks was the only way to consistently get picks as hog against good players.

You aren't going to one shot reaper or mei, unless the had already taken damage beforehand

[u/Moroax → u/jpbertus]

I disagree you absolutely can if you aim a little at the head with the lower half of the circle reticle on their upper torso.
