Listen it's a dumb bug and it'll get fixed. I just hate Roadhog and his design period. Hes the most poorly designed character one shotting a good portion of the cast and he gets away with it.
Which 200 health heroes can he not one shot?

Is it bad that I automatically assume that people happy about Genji nerfs are below average at the game? That's the only thing that crosses my mind when I see people complaining about such a high skill cap hero.
Also yeah, all I want is his triple jump back. It made him max fun.

He can one shot all of them. 200hp heroes don't have armor. Not that it would change anything even if they did.
I'm happy he can't escape Junkrat traps anymore.

The main people Roadhogs hook counters is Tracer, Genji, and Lucio because it's one of the best ways at securing a quick kill on three hard to kill characters. If Hog can't one shot them, Tracer will just recall, Genji will just dash away, and Lucio will speed boost away, basically meaning he can't kill them and there is no reason to use him.

I think Symm can't be as her hitbox is so small that not enough shots hit her. Same with Mercy. And Widow. Granted I'm not taking Melee into account here.

It'd become a Hanamura kind of map and that always sucks. Could also be snowball-y, since the payload reaching the end usually means wiping the enemy team, so offense would have a big advantage, which is also unfun.
they should offer it in a special season 2 loot box purchasable for the first week of the season.

Mixed feeling on the Genji nerfs. My (low-level) impression is that Genji's regular toolset is fine, and really only Dragonblade is a problem, and I stand by my position that neutering Swift Strike while Dragonblade is out looks like an adequate solution to the problem.
Just decreasing the ult active time seems really (too?) simple, but maybe it'll stop those solo, semi-team wipes. The mine/trap stuff seems common sense. The triple jump stuff...never really bothered me? Obviously it's frustrating to fight against but Genji's high mobility seemed like a fair reward to high-skill players (as opposed to the Dragonblade, which is too high a reward for high-skill players).
I wanna say I understand why Blizzard would just cut the ult's active time instead of messing with other abilities' cooldowns though.

Badass.

Really? Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I swear I couldn't one shot Symm or Widow.
I still think that it's also a coffin to carry the remains of the old German general that they are trying to retrieve.

Just aim for the body and everyone will melt, since you're also dealing damage by hooking and then shooting. Melee straight after just in case you didn't get a good shot off.
I saw a Pro Roadhog and he didn't even melee 200hp heroes. They just exploded.

That was a sweet short but by god do we need a full all out battle short like that slice in bastions. Reminded me the End of an Era cinematic from FF14

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

PTR now/soon, actually in the game 'early September' so probably when S2 ranked starts?
Blah...robot PTSD....weird route to go. His whole story is he slept in the forest for a long time and woke up to disobey his programming. I wanted to know why he among all the other machines like him seems to have some self direction.
Side note, the full bastion army made me think of quick play v 6 bastions. That one Rein shield would have crumbled quick.

If a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.
