Guess we'll be seeing some Roadhog buffs in a bit (hopefully). Most of my time played is on Roadhog and actually seeing this in action makes me sad, especially since a tree even cancels it even though it's you know....a hook....

This. Get over it people.
Right now, the hook is the most rewarding skill in the game, with the extreme minimum effort.
If you fail, try again in 6 seconds (Who came up with this retarded CD anyway?). I prefer to get headshotted by a skilled Widow, than get killed by an ability that even my 4 year old nephew can probably land.
well atleast i find this funny

I love this change, about time really. The hook was such bullshit, for both Hog and the target but mostly for the target.
MMO-C, home of the worst community on the internet.
I watched the videos. That's how it's supposed to work. You shouldn't be able to hit someone's earlobe and score a hook while standing behind a lamp.

Then that's an issue with the size of the light pole model. Not the hook ability right? That means the actual hitbox for the light pole is larger than the graphic we see.

Well I've seen that Lucio gif, where he's going back and forth behind that tree. I still have no issues with that. You won't be in that situation often. And it's a great way to bait out the Roadhog using his hook. It's almost the same as knowing a Reinhardt has his Earthshatter up, and you as the other Reinhardt can bait him out by dropping your shield for just a second and then put it up again, in him wasting his ultimate.
It increases the skill cap in the Roadhog, and it can also lead to some skillful dodging.
If you catch someone out in the open as a Roadhog, you'll still get a kill most of the time. And that chance every 6 seconds.
I for one can't wait to be able to dodge a hook using cover. As a Pharah main, I can take some better shots at him, but will still be extremely vulnerable in the sky.

Yeah, I've seen them. I still agree with the hooks breaking near corners. Maybe it's something Blizzard will adjust a little bit more in time.
I'm just a bit salty about how the way these hooks work, I still don't think it belongs in a FPS. Headshots from snipers/McCree etc I fully support. The hook, I simply don't like.
There's some other things that annoy me, like the Symmetra turrets and those times when Scatter Arrows rek me from full health. But I find them to be different than just the hook. And I want things like that to stay. They can be annoying, but the hook is just frustrating.

If the hook was completely removed and Roadhog was balanced differently, I wouldn't necessarily argue with that. But the hook requires a certain amount of skill to throw, and make sure the melee shot gets off (it still takes skill, especially on fucking Genji). So why would one argue that the hook takes less skill that completely random Scatter Arrow kills?
This is what bothers me. Everyone complains about the hook. Nobody complains about Flashbang kills. Nobody complains about Reinhardt's charge having a gravitational pull effect pulling you towards him to pin you, or killing you by hitting a wall you're standing above. Nobody complains about Ana putting you to sleep and then teabagging you before she shoots you in the face killing you. yet everyone complains about the hook, when more often than not, the bugginess of it on live works in favor of the target, NOT Roadhog.
