Summary & Playstyle
Roadhog is a pick-focused tank who relies on his Chain Hook to secure kills. His Scrap Gun deals heavy burst at close range, enabling him to delete squishy targets quickly. With Take a Breather, he sustains himself through chip damage, making him surprisingly durable when played carefully. Positioning is vital for Roadhog. He thrives in off-angles, threatening hooks on unsuspecting enemies. However, without strong mobility or barriers, he is vulnerable to coordinated dives and poke-heavy comps. Anti-heal, in particular, drastically reduces his survivability. Roadhog fits best into compositions that capitalize on pick potential. He pairs well with heroes who can follow up quickly on hooks, such as Cassidy or Sojourn. While not always the strongest frontline tank, Roadhog’s ability to create picks makes him a valuable disruptor. For players who enjoy punishing mistakes and controlling fights with decisive picks, Roadhog remains a satisfying and dangerous choice.
