So hog hook pull distance actually makes it easier to get environmentals with him

[zbady]

But the main problem has *still* not been addressed, no? Sojurn can STILL one shot enemies with damage boost literally faster than widow/hanzo with no drawbacks whatsoever

[lampdostuff]

I still cant believe the people that said hog was not a problem

[TXWalkingBanana]

I think it's safe to say that Reaper can now fully counter Hog. Now that Hog can't one shot Reaper anymore, he can't counter him anymore. Thus making Reaper a menace for hog mains once again.

I was playing Overwatch a few days ago and I watched helplessly as our Moira got snatched around a corner right in front of me from 40 fucking miles away. I stood in the shower for 20 minutes just thinking about it...

[xebolous]

Best way I can still get the 1 shot is if your a decent distance use your secondary fire first to soften them up, hook them, primary fire, walk forward melee like usual.

[notabot]

And it took them less than a day for a new 1 shot combo jump in shoot melee

[KuroJOkami]

I'm excited to see how these nerfs effect the meta and the overall game!

[BoyoBasado]

Change idea for sojourn: railgun can’t headshot and instead deals the damage displayed by the energy bar (100 energy = 100 damage)

Railgun shots don’t put primary fire on a mini cd.

Increased primary fire travel speed and reduced spread.

CD for power slide increased to 10 secs.

[edbmar]

In lower elos I've noticed kirikos actually not performing as well now, probably because ya know mostly heal bots, and we're not abusing Suzu and don't know exactly the perfect time to use it, but kiriko has went from being able to keep up with my heals as Bap, to being absolutely gapped by my healing output without my even trying to out heal her.

[nixthefox]

I don't really know if the kirko nerf was neccesary but it's also not that bad so I'm not complaining to much.

[bruwh]

Hog gonna be more map based meta now, instead of universal. Finally.

[jaffa]

I'm a Hog main and everyone was making out like they were gonna completely rework Hog. All they did was make it so you can't one shot hook combo anymore, which really isn't a big deal

[kindbud]

I love the new hook, it's what it should've been like from the getgo!

[rock_it]

Now uh. What if you secondary fire and insta throw a hook then primary? Bluzzard didnt think of that now, did they?

[ziggerotstask]

yeah they're changing Kiriko into a kind of worse Baptiste tbh but the change wont ruin her which is nice. It will make it so she isn't as effective at healing especially targets far away so she'll be more in the battle regardless now. Hog got nerfed into the ground if we're being honest since it isnt just the 1. distance but also a dmg change per pellet and 25 less dmg from his hook. They made him more viable for consistent dmg dealing by icreasing his fire rate; rather than burst dmg he gained dps which means he stand up to enemy tanks and shield comps better but he still loses value overall. Orisa's fortify was so strong that it made it pointless to even shoot her when she popped it so reducing the bonus health was an alright idea but I feel like leaving the bonus health and reducing the mitigation would've been better since she would need to rely a little more on team play and heals to survive. Sojourn needed the nerf but u feel like the damage should've gone to her railgun instead. 125 to the body is fkn atrocious for anyone in a 1 vs 1 with her. its the whole reason she has so much value farming tanks for charge then hitting squishies with the burst.

[H-tp]

The thing is, if hog had a mercy pocket, he still has his one shot.
Paired with the fact that mercy is meta rn, you got a recipe for disaster

[XxDream_CasterxX]

Roadhogs hook isn't a foot away from him even when you pull someone they should still be at gun to the face point. Makes no sense for this change

[banjokazooie]

As a sym main I would like my secondary fire to either go through players ans barriers or fully charged orb do more Dana’s it is slow moving.

[oscarpine]

As an Orisa main why? Like why affect the fortify health, we didn't do nothing. Sojourn is the problem
