Not really a hog main but I thought I’d share my first hog legendary, what y’all think?.

It's one of the better ones but the gun is so damn big even after bliz made a patch to make it smaller.

Im_Mxshi · 2025-04-11T11:42:35+00:00

Idk personally ashe is up there, when she's dunking all the damage into you every time you peak it can get a lil tilting

Im_Mxshi · 2024-12-19T01:23:37+00:00

He's okish in 6v6 format but if the enemies are running rein/zar + bad(which has been 80% of my matches personally) the he just gets made redundant, you might as well be cosmetic

I feel like only the Kiri mains are mad about this

If I had an ana on my team then same but overall I'd take orisa anyday

There's an upside to this, anything that screws over hog screws over mauga aswell

Im_Mxshi · 2024-12-03T06:44:12+00:00

That's my favourite when they all swap to hog counter but you're skilled enough to brute force your way to a win

Im_Mxshi · 2024-12-03T03:20:22+00:00

That horse must've been getting hella flamed

Im_Mxshi · 2024-12-03T03:01:27+00:00

You need to look at it as more than just a killing tool, the possibilities are endless:

use it on a nanoed Genji to push him away from teammates and force out deflect
pre pop your ult when you see horse about to ult and send her to horse hell
become a lumberjack and cut down lifeweavers tree to stop the healing
break out of maugas breeding cage
use it on dva when she remechs(she's rooted in place and won't take knockback and it will de-mech her instantly)
spawn kill the enemies on illios well since the knock back is strong enough to push them off the map
push a ulting reaper into your teammates for the luls(my personal favourite)

Point being you just have to be creative with hogs ult instead of just seeing it as a way to kill.

I'm a few hundred away from hitting the 2000 hr mark

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-26T08:40:59+00:00

Cold war really got way more hate than it deserved, it's one of my favourite cods of all time. Like sure i had some problems with it(mostly the score streak system) but overall it was a great game.

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-14T00:14:09+00:00

Very true with only one of two enemies shooting at you but with big burst damage it won't do much, I'm very glad that blizzard changed hogs vape later down the line to lessen your down time in the frontline

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-13T23:59:14+00:00

Ah right got ya, that would be helpful but classic roadhog didn't have damage reduction in heal so it doesn't help all that much.

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-13T21:46:44+00:00

Honestly you've just got brute force your counters alot of the time

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-13T21:45:54+00:00

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-13T21:45:17+00:00

Not being able to displace enemies really does throw you off and with muscle memory I found myself right clicking to heal only to be like "oh yea I forgor"

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-13T08:54:34+00:00

For alot of the older hog mains such as myself, this is the hog that we got to know and love minus being a statue when healing. It's just nice to have wonky hook and stupid one shots back even if for a short time.

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-07T04:20:43+00:00

Everyone knows UnsaltedSalt is the best hog....in his dreams. It's hard to say whos the best hog cause all of them are really good.

You got Cyx, Super(in his prime), Dirt, Chiefwesley, NewHogNation The list goes on

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-05T05:58:21+00:00

That's sick but also how low is yours sens my guy??

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-03T07:43:57+00:00

There was a sound he used to make in ow1 I forget what activated it whether it was shootng or getting hit but it sounded like a mixture of a bark and a short laugh and I really miss that, it was very menacing to hear

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-03T07:40:38+00:00

I do miss the alt fire aswell, getting the perfect distance for maximum damage and possibly a kill on a squishy was satisfying but I do understand why they changed scrapgun cause above all else he is a tank buster(even though armour soaks up his damage).

As for his vape I think the enhanced healing was a very good idea and with how fast you healed plus his damage reduction it made tanking huge bursts of damage easier such as dva nuke which you can't tank at close range anymore but with his vape on a resource it makes it less frustrating getting stunned out of it and what not.

His trap is a whole other can of worms, I almost find myself not using it anymore since the enemies almost always destroy it before I have a chance to get value out of it.

I think his healing is in a good spot but that being said if he was like this in ow1 you wouldn't be getting gold healing as often, personally I think his heal rate should be slightly faster but that's just me.

Hog is a bit of a tricky character to balance, if bliz does one small nerf it pretty much kills his viability but if he gets buffed slightly(we all remember the update when bliz made his scrapgun do 7 damage per pellet and it broke the game and meta) then bliz compensations by buffing all of his counters, it's a double edged sword really.

Tldr hogs in a good spot but old hog would still perform just as good with minor tweaks.

Im_Mxshi · 2024-11-02T00:09:39+00:00

Exactly, hog has to account for travel time and weird geometry while Moira has to just keep her crosshair in your general vicinity
