Roadhog is good for cheeky environmental kills and nothing more.

It'll definitely make him harder to kill. Nothin's easier than landing headshots on a huffing Hog, at the moment.
We'll see... Personally I'm amazed Junk's double mine didn't come with a reduction in mine damage. That's crazy!
Hog is now Lucio tier in kills. Sad.

That is really cool, thanks for making a video of it!

November reveal at BlizzCon most likely.

Here's a video demonstrating the buffs. That Riptire looks vicious.

The new map. Looks beautiful, though I have to question Widowmaker's architectural design philosophy. Perhaps she's more insane than we think?

Dude on first impressions the Orisa and Widow buffs seem MASSIVE.
I love the Junkrat buff too, but why they gotta do my boy Roadhog like that

Wow, that new map does look nice.
I just want a new payload/hybrid map already tho. Those are my favorite modes.

Doomfist is just destroying me. If his KO punch doesn't 1-shot me (fun btw) it disorientates me and then he immediately vanishes into a shoryuken into a fucking ground pound. He's not fun to engage at all. At least old RH was slow and big enough for me to react to.
Again, I wouldn't have an issue with these changes IF they completely rework Roadhog to be more of an Anchor Tank. As of now, he's a reliability. I've tried making him work, but what's the point of playing the hero when you can easily play someone else who is more consistent and can be a more contributing member to the team?
I mean, I can't see why they couldn't balance around what made Roadhog unique as a Zoning Tank. You can do that without ruffling peoples feathers with a sledgehammer approach to balancing, and I can guarantee you that players don't want another generic bullet soaker that slightly inconveniences the enemy team.
I'm not saying Roadhog should be able to two-shot D.Va like he used to, or just delete Reaper. He should, however, be able to reliably kill 200 HP (and below) heroes since those are the bigger threats he was designed to take down. Right now, you can count yourself lucky if you even bring Tracer to half HP.
Roadhog isn't scary right now. At all. In fact, it's hilarious seeing a Roadhog waddle in the general direction of your team because you know he can't do anything.
New map looks sweet.
This but Blizzard is pretty big on gamescom too so I'd expect something new shown for the game there in a couple weeks.

Does the twitch code give summer boxes or just regular?
Widow buffs haHAA
Regular. Everything was white and blue except for a shitty epic junkrat.

I love the look of the new map but I admit I'm kind of disappointed they didn't use the look for a QP/Comp map.
It would have to be redesigned of course but I love it visually.

Wait you can jump from mines? What the fuck? What button combination is it
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A.

Just look down, throw and detonate immediately.
Oh ok ty
I was hoping the post above yours was joking because it reminded me of a fighting game input and those are way too hard but good to know it's as easy as it seems

Pretty much every qp I play is 5 dps and 1 healer, and comp is either so toxic or a stomp that I don't play it. C'mon game

Deathmatch? I hope all the instalock Genji/Widow/Hanzo players on console find their true calling there, they sure as heck don't much like payloads.
As someone who thinks Roadhog isn't as bad as he's made out to be I kinda fear that change in concept, just gotta see how it plays out I guess.
Orisa buffs are good times for me.

He's just trying to show off his beach bod, don't hate
It's only going to get worse now with the Junkrat buff that will likely be pushed through.
It's really great when it follows through walls. :|

they needed to put them in all modes a long long time ago
I think flanking over the right of the choke will still be better. You can stall on the rooftops to get another charge and duck into the back-upper hallway once you're over where the close quarters gives you a huge advantage.

I'm not feeling lucio ball. Lucio is too slow and his speed boost takes too long to cooldown. Impact on the ball feels weak too.

I'm really hoping Widow's buff isn't as massive as it seems.
I guess people wanted death-ball back...

Blizzard's Roadhog decisions are very upsetting.
It's a decent buff to a shitty ability and a minor buff to a shittier one. Atleast on console, it won't mean much, but it's more convenient for Widowmaker to be able to escape more often, even if the escape method itself is bad.
The Venom Mine buff is good, but it's not going to be a game changer of any kind.

added you on PSN, I can show you how the junkrat stuff works, it's not as difficult as it seems!
Who? 🤔
Hero release schedule is March, July, November until they decide to slow things down

Hmm, I don't if it was a good idea to buff grapple. Venom mine needed something though.

His role as a covert infiltrator just got even more pronounced. He can now feed the enemy team (your friends) for even longer, making you more of an effective troll pick than ever before. Sombra better watch out.

Roadhog changes show that Blizard either doesn't know how their game works or just wants to remove Roadhog from the game which they should just do instead of trolling us with BS changes.
The main reason Roadhog has issues is he has no sustain damage, not that he can't stay alive.

26 hours with Doomfist and I've hit the blackout stage where the magic starts to happen.

Wow buffing Junkrat lmao. That's exactly what I wanna see Blizzard, a bunch of lame ass Junkrat holds from grenade and mine spam + near impossible to kill tires.
Cool for y'all who main him and find him fun, I appreciate the depth the defense characters add to the OW toolbox but seriously, defense characters are not fun going up against, I'd be happy with that whole class being fun to play but competitively useless. I'm hoping this is something like the Bastion changes where Blizzard dials it back after a week or two.
