I'm surprised there's a huge Roadhog right-click hate thread on the Overwatch forums:

In the interest of representing my main, I made this post:

I pride myself on being a fair-minded individual who can see topics from multiple angles, so I suggested an idea for a potential right-click rework to see how people respond to it:

I'm curious what players here have to say about my comments.

Make his alt fire cost 2 ammo instead of 1 or something.
I don't mind Roadhog I guess, but I can see the hate. People used to whine all the time about fighting against Mei not being 'fun' because you get frozen and lose control then die, and Roadhog half the time is similar just from a longer range.

I don't know how but I might look into doing that for the future. There were no throwers today when I played but the past couple of days I've matched up with players who made the actual in-game experience a living hell. For example I had a guy on my team a couple days ago that decided to play both Torb and Junkrat on King of the Hill and when he was vocally questioned by half the team (including me), he cited his huge damage numbers. YOU WERE SHOOTING INTO SHIELDS DUMBASS. First time I have ever vocally raged and argued with a teammate in this game.
Although Roadhog is my best character, I can say that having a hero in this game that can one shot people in both easy and completely random ways is not great game design. It's the same complaint I had with Bastion when the game came out. He wasn't overpowered, but if you just happen to walk into his line of sight without knowing he was even on the enemy team you die in less than a second. There's very little you can do to play around it. Same principles apply to Roadhog.

still less annoying than scatter arrow, least roadhog has to aim

this is true of so many characters though. turn a corner, get a helix rocket/pharah missile/hanzo arrow to the face that wasn't even aimed at you and the shooter had zero idea you were there

I think Pharah and Soldier are pretty fair for what they are but Hanzo's scatter also qualifies for my argument.
A chain healed Roadhog is frustrating as hell but at least with that 600 hp you can build a lot of ult charge off of him.
Join the discord channel, you could have luck finding more of us there. We also have weekly matches on Sunday with each other. Tons of fun.

Any people here play pretty consistently on ps4? Just recently jumped back in and would much rather play with gaf peeps than randoms. My psn is my Deadpool_jlp, im on now.
What is your current SR?

I dont have one, never had a team to run with =/. My normal rank is 94.
All your games were in QP? Dear god, you poor man....

Haha yea I know I know. I just hate doing ranked style matches in ANY mp game so unless I know I have a crew I can communicate with I try to avoid it. Gonna go try one now though...please keep me in your thoughts.

Oh god it just paired me and a few other no ranked players against a team that has what looks like gold rankings...this will be fun.
i had this wonderful clip of me hooking a tracer into her own bomb, teabagging her, and wrecking her over and over in the match with bm. Had a nice flick shot/melee combo in there too but now it's lost forever because i was trying to trim the video but it didn't say which parts would be saved or deleted

How does a Mercy win 1v1 against an ulting pharah at point blank?
I'm confused...
I'm confused...
I mean...scatter arrow is still skill based. Yeah, you can run into one because you didn't realize a hanzo was watching a door or whatever, but you can do tnhat with literally any attack in the game. shit you can get RNG junkratted without seeing each other too. A good hanzo isn't just wasting scatter arrows shooting doorways that they don't have any idea if anyone is behind.

I just need to remove head shots for scatter
She lands 5 headshots?

How is it random lmao? You need to aim it directly at the feet of any enemy to get a kill, otherwise you're just wasting it. That's easier said than done.
lul no you don't, you aim anywhere near the feet, it doesn't have to be directly under

if by "aim" you mean "point in general direction and look at the floor"

Got more into comp this weekend and a little annoyed at people leaving 30 seconds in or something to kill the game. What's the penalty for doing this?
They lose a ton of SR, but this is usually a good thing, since you probably didn't want to play that game anyway.
The only time it's worked against me is when we had a REALLY strong opening an made it progress on the first point within the first 30 second, an enemy tilts and leaves, game is cancelled and we get nothing.
I was particularly mad about that one that night I mainly had leavers on my team, so when my team has leavers, they do it later in the match when it's too late to back out, but when the opposing team has them, I get nothing.

tracer ult - tiny range, 400 damage, has a detonation time so easily avoided
scatter arrow - long range, 450 damage, instant, comes back every 10 seconds
so so balanced <3

Yep it always hits for 450 damage. Every single time.

LMFAO. This is what I'm saying. People acting like it's point, click and free kill are being ridiculous.
Garrett Hawke

and tracer's ult never misses?
Hazardous Metal

and Hanzo's Scatter arrow always hits full damage?
Garrett Hawke

spot the ult
Out of curiousity, can you please show me the average Helix Rocket kills or fire strike kills (or any CD ability with relatively high damage potential) per game?
Vault Dweller 111

This is a horrendously bad comparison. You get a ton of scatter arrows per game you get a couple pulse bombs. In fact this proves the ratio for pulse bomb kills per use is much more high than scatter kills per use.

https://masteroverwatch.com/heroes/4-soldier-76/pc/global/mode/ranked
https://masteroverwatch.com/heroes/16-hanzo/pc/global/mode/ranked
0.68 scatter kills per minute vs 0.78 helix rocket kills per minute
hmmm.....nice balance blizzard.........

An ability that you can theoretically shoot off every...what, dozen seconds or so? versus an ult that you have to charge up? GEE I WONDER WHICH GETS MORE KILLS ON AVERAGE.
As above ^ that'd be like comparing people literally just shooting someone to death vs how many earthshatter kills a rein gets. It's not even going to be close, LET ALONE with pulse bomb, an ult that has a hard time killing more than 1 person if you dont' Zarya it.
So in other words, Helix Rocket is almost twice as broken as Scatter arrow?

it would be nice if we could see scatter arrow damage vs bomb damage rather than just kills.
it does literally 1/4th of the damage
