A lot of it is dependent on who you're hooking, for dumb hitbox reasons mostly.

Characters you can oneshot reliably:
Genji
Soldier 76
Tracer
Hanzo
Torb
Junkrat
Lucio
Zen
McCree

Characters you can oneshot unreliably:
Reaper
Pharah
Widow
Symmetra
Mercy

Good luck:
Mei
Ana

All the tanks and Bastion have too much health to oneshot, but if you've hooked Bastion you shouldn't have too much time finishing him off since it forces him out of turret into recon mode. Torb is easy as long as you look down slightly after the hook. These are all assuming the usual hook+m1+melee combo, and that the hook hasn't put them behind you or something like that. The unreliable ones are generally hard to kill on account of the character being skinny, so unless you get the shot off perfectly a bunch of the pellets will miss. Pharah is hard because she's usually flying around and the hook will pull her to weird spots that cause you to miss a chunk of the pellets. I can only kill Reaper about half of the time and I'm not even sure why, maybe he has slightly too much health or something.

Ana can occasionally be killed by the combo, but you kind of have to hook, walk forward a bit, and then m1+melee because it arbitrarily pulls her too far away to kill her properly. Even then she'll generally get away. Mei is drat near impossible to kill as Roadhog in my experience. It pulls her too far away for the combo to work, and if you hook and try to walk forward she'll inevitably iceblock herself in the time it takes you to move forward.

gently caress Mei.

I saw a video about tricks with roadhog, if you turn sideways when hooking it will pull the person closer.
and the new accepted meta is pellet shot, Hook, melee/pellet shot

(Useful stuff)

Thanks guys, genuinely didn't realize you had to melee after the hook - for some reason I never seem to see the melee animation when I'm the one getting blown away. Maybe it's a netcode thing.

Last night I got gold for four objective kills. That's not actually a slight on my team, the attackers only managed to contest the first point in Temple of Anubis for the last 15 seconds before losing.

Why am I seeing so many people with new accounts? This game seems really expensive to be buying smurfs. The only reason I see being given is 'so I can play with my friends', but surely the matchmaking system will quickly be putting you in as much lop-sided matches as you would get with your normal account anyway.

Does Roadhog say anything pre battle? I think he's the only character that doesn't comment on other characters or the region itself.

Just recently heard one from Torbjorn I hadn't heard before:

:quagmire: "I'd sure like to take a look under the hood of that Mech, if you know what I mean!"
Dva: "No way!"

Well, I'm talking about people with blatant new accounts. I played against a duo earlier, I can't remember their exact names, something like 'mcreeeeee' and 'tr4cer' playing those characters at level 10 or so. Some other guy in my last match had a bitching match with some people on my team who accused him of smurfing, which he denied until the very end, where he said 'btw smurfin lol' or words to that effect.

Can't say I'm that bothered but it's a mighty expensive way to get a new account.

People who play online games are mentally ill, Blizzard fans especially.

There are people who buy and maintain a dozen WoW accounts and run them all simultaneously so they can control a personal synchronized death squad in WoW pvp. To what end, I don't know. You're barely even playing a game at that point.

Lol a dozen? There's a dude who runs around on Emerald Dream with 50 characters. I can't remember his name but he has a ton of meltdown videos on YouTube.

Which counter?

The forum post that was counting down?

The website that took 2 months to count to 100?

The discord firewall hack to 0?

The dorado power plant build to 100?

When one countdown ends it doesn't pop up a link to the next, someone has to puzzle out where to look for it.
