@@okaysurefinewhatever Shatter can be kinda weird sometimes, Genji too. But I think DF is buggier than both of them, his punch still doesnt fucking work properly. If I punch someone DIRECTLY into a wall, they should never, ever, ever just, slide off without taking the impact dmg, but it happens literally all the time
The charged punch feels weird sometimes, not always does the kill on dps or support immediately. I've never played doom, but when I'm playing support and got a hit by the punch, sometimes i died right away, sometimes my character slides and 1 second after dies
im2shady4u13 happened to me after charge punching atleast halfway cause of his low health mcree who I also predicted where he would be but he survived and killed me I was absolutely livid I recorded it too same thing with mercy she survived n I got punished for it too feels bad :(
i remember that time as well... i was playing TF2, enjoying a nice game of playload race while being a lazy engineer, just having fun... then i hear the sound of the hook... and before i knew it... i was playing mercy on numbani and took a scrap gun shot to the face... i looked and saw that the hog had hooked me two days earlier...
Tactical Knowledge I’m afraid for the day I hear the hook in real life. It will be the last hook I hear before I’m transported across galaxies experiencing everything and nothing at once while traveling through different realities seeing space and time as planes to be moved across. Staring helplessly at things I can no longer traverse seeing as I am being pulled to my demise. I’ll watch eternities pass in mere seconds seeing humanity prosper and fail again and again. Never knowing when the hook will reach its destination but always knowing that when I get there it will be the end.
@@DOMINGUEZCHRIS he's just explaining it wrong. You cant willingly change while stunned, it just goes back to the default not holding option when you get stunned and can't use abilities, so whenever you are stunned it will switch to default song which I think is healing
My favorite part about how they fixed one of the most infuriating instakill combos by making it harder for roadhog to hook/oneshot, was that they immediately added doomfist afterwards
Doomfist was horrible at launch, everyone complained how dumb it was to have a melee character in a DPS game that dies fighting against literally any hero from a distance. It wasn’t until the massive buffs came did ppl finally start to take him seriously
@@iScAre1 On PTR Doomfist was broken. They nerfed him in multiple ways before release, then nerfed him multiple more times after release. Then he was bad. Then they buffed his other stuff to sort of rework how he used his abilities. That's the actual timeline. But he was way more fun to play in his original versions than he is now.
i mean, old hook have the charm of a physical hook, not a laser where you tag the enemies and they got teleported infront of u. Not defending but the out of sight hook is like you throw the hook -> it dropped down to them.
@@seeknprotect6179 yea they just stripped away stuff that made the character interesting by calling it 1 shot mechanic ( scatters, hog's hook combo) and introduce a hero based around 1 shot ( dumbfish )
@@MefoWho I understand you aren't defending it, but at the same time that's the dumbest things I've heard all day. This is not a game made to be realistic. We have cyborg ninjas. It's made to be balanced. And getting one shot after being behind cover with no way around it is not balanced.
@@MefoWho Have you ever watched any sort of at all high rank doom play? Obviously not because if you did, you would realize that in order to be good with doom, you should only use punch for mobility. Also, doom isn't comparable to hanzo scatter. With scatter, you can stand halfway across the map, and still have a wide area you can hit to get a kill. You are also not putting yourself in danger. With doom or rein. You have to be up close. With doom especially. If your team has any stuns, they can just wait for the doom to come and flash him, easy kill.
With the launch of Experimental Mode (Feb. 25), Roadhog's "Take A Breather" has been tentatively reworked to spread a damage mitigating gas cloud around him for allies in the area while also healing him. According to Jeff Kaplan, this "new" Roadhog would be broken in 2-2-2

Everyone is saying it's his charge, but clearly no one remembers the time that reins ult didn't go up 2-3 stairs, and any type of other elevation wouldn't shatter, or before that it didn't even recognize elevations and would just shatter flat surfaces xD
Oh right... rein’s charge is fun to use too. You charge into someone and they get bopped away, but if you charge 20m away from someone they get pulled and die. Doom’s lunch too, you punch into someone and they hit a perfectly flat wall and they don’t die, but if you punch someone at the strangest angle at a corner, instead of sliding off they die.
Which is the exact opposite when I play Rein. 90% of the time I knock people away even if they should be getting pinned. The other 10% are pins that are pure fucking luck.
@@Fools_Requiem I play rein a lot and this always happens. You try to pin someone literally right in front of you but instead of going into your mighty pin, they decide to fly off to the side instead.
I don’t think anyone actually has an issue with it either. I don’t really hear people complaining like “SHES MOVING WEIRD I CANT AIM THATS BULLSHIT” hell most people just kill her anyways
Hook 1.0 actually made sense though, if you're hooked and you go around a corner it shouldn't break for no reason. It was just animated badly because it pulled the target in a straight path towards hog. They should have changed it so it followed the chain's path. Hooking people on high ground, the hook would move you forwards first and then downwards. Around a wall, the chain would pull you around the corner and then straight to the hog.
Moira’s life succ will clip through walls too. And rein’s charge will either boop someone away even if they should get pinned, or vacuum people into the pin even if your player model is grazed by rein.
@@im2shady4u13 "I hit u u get pulled" is exactly what 1.0 was. You could get hit and then move behind something but hog would bend reality and you would get pulled around 5 things.
roadhogs hook used to have an incredably tall player hitbox but tiny environment hitbox- meaning that you could be hit way above you even when hiding behind environment. The hook also doesn't stop at where it hits, but snaps to the waist, so it looks like it went around corners when in reality it went above/next to you and hit your arm, but the visual went to your waist, which could have been fixed if bliz made it so that the hook stayed at where it hit. Aditionally, the hook often hits you, but momentum carries you behind a wall, so it looks like it hit you behind a wall when in reality if you watched it in slow motion, you'd see that it hit you, you went behind a wall, then started pulling you, which could have been fixed if roadhogs hook had acceleration that started off slowly pulling you, then quickly. In my opinion, hook shouldn't stun you, only keep you tethered to the hook as he pulls you in, and shouldn't instantly stop you, only accelerate you towards the path of the hook, and shouldn't turn you towards roadhog
Genji ledge dash! I don’t even play Genji, was actually a zen main back then, but I’m still upset they patched out the wave dash rather than just making it shorter and more reliable. It was an interesting, cinematic, high-skill/high-reward mechanic
As someone who's played Overwatch since Open Beta, it's great to take a look back with this series! I request to see a Bastion or Symm Meta Archives as those character has had MANY changes over the years :D
Lol I swear almost every game I go to I ALWAYS have at least one hook land on a character that breaks even tho it landed perfectly. I is usually a blinking Tracer, rolling McCree, dashing Genji or flying Mercy. It used to be sooooo frustrating, but now I'm just like "ehh" and chase the target down on foot 😂
Honestly beta roadhog hook made sense its a chain it can curve and bend a round things it upset me how many times my hook broke because a character was going way too fast like phara jet boost or or peeking
This was a nice video down memory street. I remember playing so much lucio on 3v3 and getting destroyed by road hogs hook and then his new update came out where it was possible for me to break off his hook.
Lucio boop is also one that is very frustrating even to this day. No where near as prevalent as things like hook or the whole of doomfist but figuring out whether boop is going to boop your target miles or a few centimetres is like flipping a coin at times and has been as long as I can remember.
"Buggieat ability in the game" Many people say oh earthshatter or doom fist I say D.va just the entire character the ONLY character removed temporarily from competative play *sigh* blizzard your game devs were to BUSY asking if she was fun to stop and ask if she literally broke the game Sorry for the paragraph I just thought as a D.va main the struggle is real sometimes
I remember going through his first big changes. I was upset but I love where he is now, minus the crappy hook breaks (directly in front of your face but breaks)
I sorta miss the old Roadhog 3.0 because the two hit kill was a lot of fun to do. Not sure but I think the cooldown was longer so players could react to it like a mini ultimate: a certain kill unless you could dodge him or stun him. The slow animation didn't help as it put Roadhog in a risky position too if there were more enemies around. But I only started really maining Roadhog after Hook 4.0. Because by then he started being an actual tank and I realized that his health Regen made him near immortal. Roadhog's 1v1 fights stopped being about quick two hit kills and more about outlasting (and lightly outsmarting) your opponent.
I still remember how this one time I launched my hook at enemy McCree and I later checked the replay I saw the first couple frames of him doing the "hooked" animation but then my hook jumped to the Mercy who was standing right next to him and pulled her over! And yes that's during Hook 3.0.
the buggiest hero in overwatch : doomfist xDDD with punch through walls, suicide seismic slam and the walls becoming ice rink when u punch someone into it
Dont forget noreg slam, noreg uppercut, noreg punch, and how fucking bad his ult is at positioning you in space correctly without teleporting you 15 feet into the air because a potted plant waas hanging outside of a shops window
i remember the original hook it was really broken and fun when a tracer or sombra was hooked just as they used recall or translocator and then got dragged from the other corner of the map. but i am fine with actual hook, i just hope they fix that about it breaking out of nowhere since that is really annoying
This was my main when I started playing overwatch because he felt natural since I was maining Ghalt in Battleborn. I miss 1.0 hook so much. That absolute power of it was unmatched
As s current Roadhog main, I have seen it all. The buffs (less damage taken when using Take a Breather and being able to move while using Take a Breather, increased weapon clip size and faster fire rate and firing spread decreased), but I will never forget nerfs (30% damage reduction and the ol janky Chain Hook). I miss hooking people through and around walls, barriers and even other players. Hog is still fun to play.
i feel like you forgot the worst thing you could do with his hook during beta and late season 1 at 5:28 you can see the roadhog trying to spin thats because he is forcing the spin glitch with his hook, i cant really explain the coding behind it but early the way roadhogs hook use to work was that the enemy had to land directly in front of you and if you move fast enough then the landing spot would change, this means if you play on high enough sensitivity you can keep someone hooked infinitely. I discovered this in early season one as abused it to get into rank 94. I had to play with 75 sensitivity but I got use to it. just in case you need an example. if you play roadhog and say hook a enemy, all you have to do is hook the enemy and spin until your team kills the person you hook and repeat
I've been playing roadhog since beta and to this day nothing puts more of a smile on my face than all the times my hooks just clipped people through things
Just think, in an alternate universe Roadhog is still hooking people through time and space itself, he'll probably be hooking someone from this dimension as well...
Hooking close to walls and stuff sometimes places the enemy in unexpected positions, making damage very hard to confirm. Very frustrating. This has been since the first hook rework.
"I miss the old roadhog, get all the pulls roadhog. Not this new roadhog, no one step, pew pew roadhog" Oh yeah, I forgot to click off the video long enough to hear it
I just had a conversation about how stupid his hook was and is at times. His hook feels so inconstant like when I go to hook someone it misses but had been hooked from the same distance before.
Literally last night I got slept on highground and I got hooked from underneath through the floor. When I watched death cam the Hog couldn't even see a pixel of my character.
I remember back in year 1 where hogs dmg was still super high and if hooked a squishy they are pretty much dead, to the point sometimes i wouldnt get the one shot but the guy i hooked would be afk

I still remember how this one time I launched my hook at enemy McCree and I later checked the replay I saw the first couple frames of him doing the "hooked" animation but then my hook jumped to the Mercy who was standing right next to him and pulled her over! And yes that's during Hook 3.0.
the buggiest hero in overwatch : doomfist xDDD
with punch through walls, suicide seismic slam and the walls becoming ice rink when u punch someone into it
Dont forget noreg slam, noreg uppercut, noreg punch, and how fucking bad his ult is at positioning you in space correctly without teleporting you 15 feet into the air because a potted plant waas hanging outside of a shops window
i remember the original hook it was really broken and fun when a tracer or sombra was hooked just as they used recall or translocator and then got dragged from the other corner of the map.
but i am fine with actual hook, i just hope they fix that about it breaking out of nowhere since that is really annoying
Anyone else realize that floral fury was playing in the background in the beginning
This was my main when I started playing overwatch because he felt natural since I was maining Ghalt in Battleborn. I miss 1.0 hook so much. That absolute power of it was unmatched
As s current Roadhog main, I have seen it all. The buffs (less damage taken when using Take a Breather and being able to move while using Take a Breather, increased weapon clip size and faster fire rate and firing spread decreased), but I will never forget nerfs (30% damage reduction and the ol janky Chain Hook). I miss hooking people through and around walls, barriers and even other players. Hog is still fun to play.
Doomfist: *exists*
Akshon: "I pretend I do not see it"
I miss the black hole hook so much, but I never left hog behind no matter how bad he was at times
i feel like you forgot the worst thing you could do with his hook during beta and late season 1 at 5:28 you can see the roadhog trying to spin thats because he is forcing the spin glitch with his hook, i cant really explain the coding behind it but early the way roadhogs hook use to work was that the enemy had to land directly in front of you and if you move fast enough then the landing spot would change, this means if you play on high enough sensitivity you can keep someone hooked infinitely. I discovered this in early season one as abused it to get into rank 94. I had to play with 75 sensitivity but I got use to it. just in case you need an example. if you play roadhog and say hook a enemy, all you have to do is hook the enemy and spin until your team kills the person you hook and repeat
I remember hooking people and spinning around while my sym would microwave the victim. It was absolutely hilarious
Where are the owl highlights??
I've been playing roadhog since beta and to this day nothing puts more of a smile on my face than all the times my hooks just clipped people through things
Even to this day I still remember the time I got hocked from behind a wall and both me and the hog were confused on how it happened. Good times
Just think, in an alternate universe Roadhog is still hooking people through time and space itself, he'll probably be hooking someone from this dimension as well...
Hooking close to walls and stuff sometimes places the enemy in unexpected positions, making damage very hard to confirm. Very frustrating. This has been since the first hook rework.
Ah, the ability still hooking me through walls to this day when playing ana
"I miss the old roadhog, get all the pulls roadhog. Not this new roadhog, no one step, pew pew roadhog" Oh yeah, I forgot to click off the video long enough to hear it
I miss the old mango
I didn’t play overwatch during hook 1.0 but I love finding footage of sombras getting hit with it while using translocator.
I miss the old roadhog where I could fight the entire enemy team while my team walks in one at a time always dying
Imagine getting hooked and then the roadhog just starts spinning like a beyblade in a tornado
I just had a conversation about how stupid his hook was and is at times. His hook feels so inconstant like when I go to hook someone it misses but had been hooked from the same distance before.
Literally last night I got slept on highground and I got hooked from underneath through the floor. When I watched death cam the Hog couldn't even see a pixel of my character.
That intro hooking Lucio across the map was hilarious.
roadhook 1.0 was the scariest thing back then
It still can hook someone behind an other character or even go arround an edge. Arround a Barrier like Rheins and trought some Billboards
I remember back in year 1 where hogs dmg was still super high and if hooked a squishy they are pretty much dead, to the point sometimes i wouldnt get the one shot but the guy i hooked would be afk
Production quality off the charts as always
