Roadhog 1 hit kill EXPLOIT

General Discussion

How is it that Rodhog can 1 shot kill about 90% of all heroes even tanks.
I have had many matches where I go up against a roadhog who can 1 shot me even as a tank while not being boosted or me being discorded

It’s not an exploit, it’s just how he works and he doesn’t deal 90% of tank’s health.

You can find the numbers of his abilities here https://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Roadhog

So you say that a hero should be able to 1 shot kill everything with no issue what so ever when none boosted or enemy target is not discorded?

4

You are obviously exaggerating. His one shot is extremely hard to pull off(right click into the head at the ideal range). The other thing he does is a combo(3 hits which might not even kill a 200 HP character).

5

hard to pull off? so then how come about 90% of all roadhog players i meet can do this 1 hit kill combo?

Like I said you are exaggerating, nothing else to see here.

Never said that, please don’t put words in my mouth.

I said it’s how it works, it’s not an exploit, yes he can almost one shot squishies (just need a melee attack to finish usually) and no he can’t almost one shot tanks (unless they are half hp or something).

It’s like saying Doomfist’s punch is an exploit because you can oneshot someone by punching them into a wall, it’s not.

technically by the definition it is an exploit. it’s exploiting broken abilities.

like how playing snipers is an exploit. it’s exploiting the fact that they do twice the damage of any other dps and take half the aim.

road’s always been broken, he’s just not been meta because he can’t touch snipers. he’s also not a tank, like hammond.

It’s not. It’s just how it works. Just because you define it as an exploit doesn’t mean it’s one.

And? Hammond isn’t a tank in the same sense, he just absorbs damage no different to Roadhog and uses defensive/self abilities to sustain more or to escape but neither has an exploit to make them viable.

11

Hammond and Roadhog can be good tanks but they aren’t consistent. Meanwhile Rein just holds up his shield and does more for the game then them.
Tanks in general need to make Space so they are made to work without any space, Hog and Hammond need just as much space as Dps and they can miss play ratter easily that’s why they won’t be as consistent as Rein.

I’m sure that in every team up till 3k SR having Rein is like ten times better then any other tank.

Wonder why they kept the AWP in CS for more than a decade if its such a blatant exploit.

I would recommend not getting hooked.

Actually it is nerfed compared to what it was before, I survive hogs hook with sombra nowadays and able to tele out.

15

Would you call a grav/pharah barrage combo an exploit?
No?

Then why are you calling hook combo an exploit?

Also, since when can hog one-shot tanks? I have literally NEVER seen that. If you are a hammond player, LITERALLY NOTHING IN THE GAME CAN ONE-SHOT YOU.

Lies Lucio Boop of a cliff is God xD if u miss the graple

17

That is a 2 hero combo… I am taking about 1 singel hero that can exsploit a combo to get insta kills

Looking at the roster

Ana can combo heroes up to 200 HP to death provided she lands a sleep dart.

Doomfist can, its debatable how good he is at it right now.

Genji can with deflect. Also I am not overly familiar with his dash + right click + melee combo, could be applicable.

Hanzo can.

junkrat definitely can.

Lucio can with his boop off a cliff.

Mei can provided she freezes her victim.

McCree can with flashbang + fth.

Pharah can boop people off cliffs.

Reinhardt with charge.

Widowmaker can.

Hamster and Winston can boop people off the map for instant kills.

Zenyatta can with his charged right click.

There you go.
