@@DubBossman1 You can't blame that on the game, he consistently plays the way he does. You're probably just shit at roadhog and instead of recognizing it, you just blame the game and say that he is bad, when he is a hundred times better than you and me. Stfu
Cyx sounds so serious in this video i m used to him being like "Land hooks don't die 4Head" so strange to hear him like this great video tho i learned a lot^^
I've been making this mistake ever since barriers got nerfed and are easier to shred since I use all my ammo on it don't realize it and land a great hook only to just melee lol
Tip to go along with this, as soon as Roadhog slams scrap into the gun during a reload, melee to cut off the rest of the animation and get back to fighting a second or two sooner I now this sounds stupid, but this has seriously saved me from being killed multiple times in game
PossiblyACryptid i think almost everyone knows this. People dont do it because the downtime before shooting stays the same. Youre only replacing part of it with melee.
And another tip from me: When you hook a high health target like hog or sig, don’t melee after you hook, and the melee will only kill 1/10 times. Just fire a second shot, as it will kill much faster.
The man who made me main hog I knew most of these from watching him and just playing Hog for a while. These are really useful though nonetheless for players trying play Hog
Stellar video. thanks for the tips, Ace overlap visuals, nice transitions, concise verbal instruction, good visual sync with footage, and a WHOLE lot of good info for this topic. Great work Cyx, KarQ, and those that support this content!
Another tip for fighting zenyatta: don’t be afraid to engage him, he has no escape ability, so it isn’t risky to chase him down. Taking out just one healer can cripple a whole team
I remember playing a game as dva and i ulted then a hog hooked it and ended up killing himself and 2 of his teammates when before it wouldve killed noone
I'll be honest as a Hog main that's one of my lowkey favorite things to do. I remember giving the D.va play of the game by doing that and they just stood still in awe 😂
Risky. Tight window, and she'll more than likely have a wall and cube in tow. But it is a much more reliable tip than in the video, and will be much more rewarding.
not uselfull unless she is really low because freeze slow down doesnt dissipate quick enough so you cant oneshot her and she is gonna iceblock afterwards
KoolerRaid but if you make her block it buys you time and if you have heal you can pop it then and hopefully be alive long enough for someone to stop her every second matters
More tips. Vs D.Va, you can hook baby D.Va as she is re-meching while she's in the animation and it cancels it, preventing her from re-meching. Vs. Sigma, if he ults you (or you + anyone on your team), if you have hook up, you can hook him while everyone is in the air and it will cancel his ult channel it before he slams everyone down. Vs. Baptiste, with good secondary fire spacing, it only takes 2 shots from 2ndary fire (if you space the blast to detonate point-blank with the generator) to kill it very quickly and bait the enemy team into walking into it anyway thinking they're safe General tip: If you hook someone that isn't one-shottable with your combo (even with a preemptive primary/secondary shot), just don't melee. Continue using the scrap gun, because the recovery time after melee to be able to fire again is MUCH longer than the time it takes for a 2nd shot to come out. I kill bastions like this most often. Two primary shots come out a lot faster than a shot -> melee, and if the melee doesn't kill you have a long time to wait before you can fire again.
“Just go reaper and counter hog, it’s so easy” Glad it’s finally addressed that you can oneshot reaper. Mei on the other hand is impossible if she has cryo and is at full health pre hook.
A good reaper will just get mad ult charge from hog tho I’ve seen it before it’s normally another counter like brig or Mcree that works but if you can hit your hooks and shots go for gold 👌🏽
Every mei player seems like they have by far the best ping in the entire lobby lol. Always seem to somehow get cryo freeze off even if I don't wait long to go for the shot+melee. total bullshit imo
I've found that with Reaper for nearly all of his skins, his cloak is actually part of his body. When he gets hooked, the cloak flails up into his head hitbox so this is something to keep in mind.
An alternate tip for ball is to stay directly under him when he is about to smash down since hooking him would be extremely easier due to him going down in a straight line.
Negating other people’s ults with hog is so cathartic. Especially if it’s really clutch. Things like getting booped off the map and taking a D.va bomb with you, completely stuffing a primal Winston into a corner with Whole Hog, tanking all of the damage from Gravitic Flux, yoinking a Lucio the second before he hits the ground with Sound Barrier, or otherwise interrupting ults like Deadeye and Barrage with hook. It just makes you feel so badass
Another small but useful tip against D.Va and more importantly Sigma is while they are using their absorb abilities, instead of waiting for the ability to finish, use melee to get some damage in. Instead of staring at Sigma's toes next time, slap him in the knees with your hook.
u should make a series called ANOTHER (character) TIP for EVERY HERO, cuz videos that are made like this are actually really informational and helpful to watch, and theres definitely more than a few tips for each matchup as a character
Hog’s hook is insanely op and I see too many hogs not knowing this stuff. You can hook Dva out of calling her mech(but you have to time this perfectly), you can hook Sigma out of his ult, you can potentially hook Rein out of his ult but as with Sombra you have to anticipate it. And the last one is you can reliably hook an enemy hog out of his Whole Hog
It's 50% damage reduction. So that's why the tip for Sigma's ult is how it is... Let's create this scenario where you're Sig ulted and you're at 450 HP. If you do not self-heal while falling down, you will take 300 damage and you are left at 150 HP, self-healing after the damage has been taken will take you back up to 450 HP. If you're 450 HP and Sig ulted, and you self-heal right when you're about to be dragged down, instead of taking 300 damage, you'll take 150 damage (50% damage reduction for Take-A-Breather), and you'll be at 300 HP when you land. Then, you self-heal up to 600 HP (+150 HP from the other situation.) It's important to note that the Take-A-Breather damage reduction applies right when you use the ability, not when you're healing, so you don't need to time burst damage with exactly when you gain HP from the ability.
When going for hook kills in the middle of a fight, be mindful of how much ammo you have left. It sounds obvious but there are so many times where I couldn't finish off a kill because I had to reload after my hook.
that tip is obviously just for if you miss hook, don't have an opportunity to use it (sig moves behind cover), or hook is on CD. by now, most sigmas will wait out or bait out the important stuns before ulting - for example, brig bash, doom punch, and even cree/cass stun aren't too important to be mindful of, but hog hook and sig rock are. waiting out sig rock is especially important if they're running orisa sigma double shield because the pull-rock combo easily counters sig ult
These are awesome and I really need to try them. Especially the ones with melee and ult charge, which seemed to be quite a lot. I’m not great enough shot yet for some of the hook shots, but still seem like great tips.
4:04 LMAO I WAS ONCE PLAYING DVA AND THE ENEMY ASHE CALLED BOB DOWN. I BOOPED HIM OFF THE MAP AND SHE WAS JUST STANDING THERE LOOKING AT WHERE BOB FELL LMAO I FEEL SO BAD
@3:16 Idk if it has been patched out already, but Hammond is one of the few heros that does gain ult charge during his ult. So walking into the mines will still give him some charge
I'd like to add 1 thing to Brig: For some reason, she can't block the hook by start shielding when she hears the hook sound. It just goes straight through her shield if she trys this.
I came from the future. Really enjoy your 1374th remake version of this! That general tip on how to use shadow clones as hog is extremely useful, thx Karq!
if you hook a character then cancel hook with wholehog when they are flying towards you, they get flung behind you and then you use whole hog to send them to narnia behind your team or into a corner for your team to kill.

Another tip I use vs Mei, if she is freezing you while you are walking away, you can do a 180 hook
Risky. Tight window, and she'll more than likely have a wall and cube in tow. But it is a much more reliable tip than in the video, and will be much more rewarding.
