I'm assuming ranked will have more of a penalty, maybe something like Rocket League where it gives you an L and bans you from playing ranked for 15 minutes.
Obviously assuming Blizzard are smarter than Capcom here...

I don't know. I read this in the Overwatch forum, why people quit when the game seems to end in a loss.
Still counting it as a loss would certainly be better, if that's really not the case already.
The Payload is more than knee high.

Watching cooller's Russian stream and Zarya's ult call out sounds much more natural with the Russian localisation. Wonder if this is the same for other characters.
was this already posted?
blizzard permanently banned 1572 players in china
it seems they take it really serious with cheaters in overwatch. they even posted the account names and said that justice will come to everyone, sometimes maybe a little late, but it will come. <<

That's much better than the 15 or whatever absurdly low number of bans Capcom had for SFV.

must've happened to me like 5 times already.
me being the roadhog, who screwed over our team by hooking the mech.
You can't just NOT hook something as a roadhog.

Hasn't happened to me yet but I know it's a ticking time bomb.

On the note of hooking something you shouldn't, is it ever advisable to hook a Reinhardt? Feels like he just dashes and stomps on my face right after.
maybe when he just dashed a teammate to get him away from him and keep him from making a killing blow ^-^

Trying a new thing to mix it up and learn new characters: playing whoever pops up on the main menu first. I think Blizzard did a very good job of making all of the classes enjoyable and unique.
Seems like hooking a relatively healthy Reinhardt would end badly for Roadhog. Other tanks you could probably come out on top.

Can D.vas ult be used to escape the hook once hooked? Or has it been set off then hooked?

Oh yeah, true. I really need to find the right times to hook instead of hooking everything. Every. Thing.

I am so fucking tired of being one shot by random spam from Hanzo and Junkrat. Shitty ass game.
In theory forcing Reinhardt out of position sounds like a good idea. Not to kill him, but to open up whoever's behind his shield.

You can always ult right after the mech breaks down.
In my experience Roadhog's primary wrecks Reinhardt, and I think he can out heal most of Reinhardt's damage with E provided the latter doesn't have a charge to interrupt.
If no charge, it's Roadhog's 300 heal vs Reinhardt's 75dmg melee and 100dmg firestrike.
And in the end you're still pulling a Reinhardt out of position so probably a win-win for the hog.

Yes if you hook him to somewhere where you have some teammates to help. Like into a spot where Bastion or Widowmaker or whatever gets free shot on him (need to have enough heroes/teamwork to kill him before he shields up though) or just pull him close to Mei who just freezes him trough the shield and he dead

I've never played Mei but she's definitely one of the cooler (HAR HAR HAR) characters. Her abilities are totally unique!
Plus I just unlocked her "Rescue Mei" costume, thus almost guaranteeing that I'll be learning to play as her eventually.

If a Reinhardt throws up barrier after getting hooked Roadhog can just walk past it and blast him lol.

Apparently some use there.
Ah, of course, I didn't think about how it makes you more silent! Good idea.

Yeah. It can be useful for the enemy team to know who to focus on. Plus you may show up on a card after the game as MVP for extra bragging rights.

Good luck reacting quickly enough to do this intentionally.
If anyone can actually do this quickly enough then theyve got much faster reaction speed than me...

My bet is on July.
I say yes. I do it most of the time and only once in a while it backfires at me.
He will be confused the first second so you most likely get two shots away at him. Then he can move and most of the time the Reinhard shields up. I either try to walk behind his shield to kill him then or my teammates will finish him.
Waiting for NA/EU wall of shame
Roadhog kills Reinhardt in like 2 headshots and some change. It's not a bad idea to hook one, there's just usually way better targets and he might put up the shield and block the chain.
even if you somehow managed to do it, roadhog would probably just pull them through the wall half the time. I've pulled people and been pulled through buses, floors, ramps etc.

I use it as a way to counter the other team. As in if a Genji is on fire and were losing ill swap to mei, Or a Pharah ill swap to 76 etc..
You can't disagree with blizzards tick rate because you're not a pro mlg player bruh.
Did you watch the network performance video I posted yesterday?
It talks about tick and latency and how it affects OW.
I tried this for a few games and while it's a nice QoL improvement for general play, it has a significant drawback in clutch moments. When a fight gets heated and you're getting knocked around (or even thrown off the map) hitting Guardian Angel can get you back to safety without a target in LoS, thanks to the game's latency/tick-rate and the high tolerance on your beam (almost like a mini Tracer Recall). Not worth giving up imo.
Yes, certainly nothing I could pull off intentionally. I was just impressed, that it was even possible. Just a cool little detail.
But I wonder if we'll see similar crazy things from top players in tournaments.
playing pharah, I jump jet everytime but nope, I still get pinned.
