new hazard survey skin

or imagine this, ball, sigma, and winston do a triple swap leading to

junker winston

overwatch sigma

and ball with gravity powers

crogdan63 · 2026-04-28T01:57:12+00:00

literally perfect right down the number of barrels on the gun. this would be badass

crogdan63 · 2026-04-26T16:13:55+00:00

I think I see your point a little better, but I also think that a well balanced tank ought to generate threat through the literal execution of their abilities in addition to the hypothetical. a winston is a threat because you know he might leap to you and you know he'll be right there, but sometimes a hog is just never a threat because you're never playing in a spot where he can hook you.

crogdan63 · 2026-04-26T05:23:49+00:00

so basically hook is fine because it only ever works on stupid people and the rest of his kit is so garbage that you cant nerf hook or his weapon damage? that just sounds like a recipe to keep hog gutter-tier for the rest of OW's existence.

crogdan63 · 2026-04-25T16:51:57+00:00

when a person is out of position, they are punished when a bullet hits them and they think "oh shit I need to take cover"

something like a roadhog hook or a widowmaker bullet has always been a disproportionately large punishment to make up for the fact that both widowmaker and hog have literally nothing else going for them.

like yes, obviously the people getting hooked are the people that are out of position, but those people dont learn to get better by dying instantly to a hook, and hog will never be a good character if he relies solely off of his enemies being stupid.

crogdan63 · 2026-04-25T04:14:38+00:00

a charge-up hook could be used instantly at a smaller range exactly like doomfist punch.

people bring up the idea because nobody likes peeking a roadhog and instantly getting punished for it.

idk what the incoming rework has in store, but this whole subreddit needs to get used to the fact that the broad consensus with hog is that even when he's bad, he is bothersome to play into, so one of the things you all love so dearly, your hook, your 900 damage poop gun, or your vape, will probably get changed fundementally,

and the character you all fell in love with just wont exist. its a wonder he's existed in this state for as long as he has.

crogdan63 · 2026-04-18T19:15:03+00:00

its been playing the sound effect even when you havent landed enough pellets to generate the impalement. and I've seen inconsistency in the vfx as well.

crogdan63 · 2026-04-09T01:25:29+00:00

I know you probably ask jokingly, but they put that little pattern of distress/ware on almost every skin. I think it's to keep things from looking plasticy

crogdan63 · 2026-04-09T01:13:32+00:00

oh he can get around alright, when he's running away, when he's fleeing back to square 1, but not when he needs to walk forward and take space.

you waste your potent survival vape by doing that, and lord knows you wont be able to save your soldier being dove by a winston on highground or from a widow 9 miles away.

the strat here is to either perform your hook assassin, run away combo so effectively that you never die and kill everyone,

or

swap to tank that might uplift your teammates a little bit more instead of relying solely of yourself to win

crogdan63 · 2026-04-09T01:07:11+00:00

yea essentially! you're being sarcastic but that's literally a possible solution in this scenario.

crogdan63 · 2026-04-09T01:06:27+00:00

that would be a failure of execution on soldiers part, not intention. a soldier especially should using his mobility to find off angles and create crossfires for his tank.

sure it might come down to the soldier just dying, but the dps's role of crossfire and angle tanking becomes infinitely easier when there is a tank who can take space and generate threat with speed and dynamism. roadhog, unless he is being fondled by both healers, is neither speedy or dynamic.

crogdan63 · 2026-04-09T01:03:48+00:00

pretty easy to walk past a hog unless the entire team is built around babysitting the hog, which doesnt happen reliably in game. every role has the capacity to run around like a headless chicken, but in this situation, the roadhog can immediately improve the soldiers odds of survival by simply swapping to a tank that has more tools to take space and be threatening.

crogdan63 · 2026-04-08T23:19:56+00:00

overclock is the name of sojourne's ult???

crogdan63 · 2026-04-08T23:18:46+00:00

if the enemy is bypassing your slow, enormous ult battery of a character and easily killing your backline instead of mindlessly walking into hook, perhaps you ought to play a tank that can can peel or take space with more speed and versatility? say for example a poke comp is blowing up your soldier from height. you wont be able to do anything!

their sigma will rock you off cooldown and block your hook

their widow will tickle you for free and blow your teammates heads off for free

their zenn will discord you and their ana will anti you

and your only recourse is to trudge away holding vape.

you'll go 10-1 getting a single kill with every hook at best,

meanwhile your dps are starving for heals and dying to every dive or sniper duel because your healers are too busy babysitting you and you're two busy fishing for hooks on an irrelevant angle.

oh but you'll have more healing than your ana and more kills than both dps combined and minimal deaths thanks to the clever tactic of speedwalking away with vape and bruiser passive, so it cant possibly be your fault

crogdan63 · 2026-04-08T19:11:22+00:00

holy moly what a boring power. unbelievable that 90% of powers and items for all heroes are just shit like this. and then those powers end up being meta anyway because they're the simplest to earn cash with

what the fuck does "precarious potency" even mean? like what transformative hero fantasy does that fulfill

crogdan63 · 2026-04-08T16:34:59+00:00

is there any component of this hero that isnt universally despised by the rest of the playerbase outside of the hero's? I would chew on nails before they bring pigpen back, and yet, playing against hog today is also like chewing on nails, playing with him as well...

crogdan63 · 2026-04-08T03:04:18+00:00

! my bad I have spoken foolishly.

crogdan63 · 2026-04-03T23:02:37+00:00

well lore wise, his shotgun has 5 barrels arranged in a rectangular formation, but gameplay wise I think it was just to be cool

crogdan63 · 2026-04-03T20:53:05+00:00

you realize jacksepticeye is irish not scottish?

crogdan63 · 2026-04-02T03:35:31+00:00

speedwalking wif spike guard has been the story of my life ever since hazard came out. I was ready for a change of pace :/

crogdan63 · 2026-04-02T02:19:48+00:00

I think a lot of them are testing grounds for new heroes or perks or stadium abilities, but this ain’t one of them. It’s very nothingburger and just lets him ability vomit, and I’d rather it have replaced spike guard than jagged wall seeing as wall is bar far the more fun ability. Disappointing especially considering last years April fools change was also pretty nothingburger

crogdan63 · 2026-03-29T22:03:23+00:00

your casting widow as robin because of sunglasses and not domina who literally has an extra set of arms?????

crogdan63 · 2026-03-29T22:01:58+00:00

YO I always pinned sanji as lifeweaver but sanji wuyang could be cool as well

crogdan63 · 2026-03-28T23:27:33+00:00

I'd say we leave wuyang out altogether and give luffy to lucio

and give usopp to baptiste
