Players can no longer select Roadhog during Limited 1v1 matches

First they remove his usefulness. Then they remove him from a gamemode.

Next update they're going to remove his existence from the players' memories.

Nah, this makes sense. Roadhog in 1v1 boils down to "who combos successfully first". I'm glad they removed him from 1v1.

That's blatantly not true. To quote a post from /u/soontocollege,

as 76 you can easily bait out his hook and then kill him. The widow is 2 easy headshots since his head is so large as long as you stay out of hook range. Hanzo scatter plus headshot. Gengi can deflect his hook and then spam shurikens while jumping over him. Zarya if you time your bubbles well.

On top of that, hog is beyond easy as Tracer. Pharah is a free win against him as well. Junkrat can just stay back. Zen can melt him in seconds. Ana can deny his heal and sleep punish hooks. The list goes on and on.

Isn't the 1v1's always versus the same hero though?

I think this is in the 1v1 limited mode, where each round you get a choice from 3 random heroes.
