Hooking someone that knows what they're doing from 15m is ineffective because the stun duration doesn't match the pull animation; several heroes will have escape capabilities they can pull off to prevent being comboed, such as Lucio's knockback, or you can just play McCree and flashbang/fan the hammer and kill Roadhog before he kills you. Roadhog is extremely powerful at deleting people off the map for being out of position and that is absolutely okay.

Nehru the Damaja posted:"With a cooldown of 6 seconds and a 100% chance to kill almost every hero in the game even with zero follow-up from your teammates Roadhog's hook is the epitome is low risk, low skill - high reward. Especially given that a skilled Roadhog can already one-shot any 200 hp hero from about 15m with a properly aimed right-click. You know that guy plays either McCree or Genji

also Roadhog is literally a feeding trough for the enemy Ults and denies Mercy Ult by having his own huge self-healing so it kind of balances out when the enemy Hanzo can just stay 40m back and fire a billion arrows into his fat gut and have dragondogs within 20 seconds of starting a match

It's pretty frustrating playing a flanker, and getting Gold medals in objective time, objective kills, and eliminations (8 seconds, 4 kills, 12 eliminations respectively) and losing. It's even more frustrating when it happens 6 times in a row.

I had someone in a game type a small essay about how Roadhog was overpowered today. Buddy if you think Roadhog is OP I don't wanna see what happens when you come up against a decent Widowmaker. He seems pretty balanced to me. The longer away he hooks you from the more chance you have to get out of it. He has a lot of HP but goes down fast under concentrated fire and he feeds a lot of ult charge. His ult and hook can be interrupted by pretty much every stun. Zarya counters him pretty well also.

I also tried that rat guy and was real bad at him. Basically anything that's not healing or tanking I'm just terrible.

If the goal is to make everyone viable in a competitive context, Roadhog would need a buff, even. That said, I'm fine with where he is, as a merciless punisher of rookie mistakes who isn't very practical against a coordinated team.

Having never actually played either, Roadhog seems like a worse but tougher McCree: Slow dude with an instant kill combo on a cooldown. I guess McCree is a lot harder to spot so he can get his combo off more often, and his gun is more threatening than Roadhog's outside of the combo (but most of his kills still seem to be from flash + fan).

I have a dumb question. In CSGO, you burst-fire or spray. I've played that game for 10 years, so I have that down pat. I know for projectile weapons - you predict where they go. For hitscan characters, do you just hold down M1? Do you burst-tap? Do you tap?

hey all, I'm starting the first SA inhouse match(es) in about 20 minutes. if you're interested stop by the other thread and consider joining the steam group. I'll be organizing stuff in the SA Overwatch "lfg" channel for now but hopefully will have something a bit more elegant in the future. If anyone is interested in streaming please tell me and I'll secure you a Spectator slot, I might do so myself if no one else is interested. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3778249 http://steamcommunity.com/groups/goonOW

Burst fire is 100% accurate for a lot of hitscan characters for the first X shots. Tracer is the first 2, Soldier is the first 4. Unfortunately I don't know the rest like Bastion's rifle.

I'm not after the highest score, and often times the flanker IS who I feel will help us. Usually I have to add dps because our team is a Mercy who doesn't know they have a gun, 2 Reins who dont swing the hammer, and 2 snipers. If I do switch to something else, we stop killing people and fall even further behind. My point was not "hurf durf I'm so good", it was the fact that I have pitifully low objective numbers and am STILL gold, so wtf are the others doing?

It was a Bastion player, so I can only assume he kept hooking him out of turret mode. Papercut posted:The real difficulty starts when you have 1000 credits.

The odds of getting the legendary skin you actually want through RNG are fantastically low so just buy it.

yeah, i dig, Im not busting your balls. My games since launch are basically I go Genji if we're on attack, or Widow/Tor on defense depending on map, and then in a lot of games people start trying to out fox my sneaky dudes because im racking up the kills, but by then its usually objective crunch time, and I swap into Winston to just keep my team where they need to be. I want to learn another Area Denial hero, and even I kinda don't like Junkrat's design, he seems like my next dude to learn.

Goodness, Junkrat is a lot of fun if you give him a shot. You can just fly round the place raining explosions down on everyone and I assumed he was just slow and boring until I tried him out. Climbing up a wall with the riptire and then leaping off a roof on to somebody's head with it also never gets old.

I can't tell in the bot practice mode, all damage in there seems like it registers a second late.
