Chain Hook: When activated, Roadhog fires a hook at his crosshairs that travels out to a long range before returning back to him.You should make sure you're at the minimum range needed for the projectile to explode successfully, as the projectile itself deals less damage than the pellets. The secondary fire allows Roadhog to fight at medium range effectively.If the projectile impacts an enemy or solid surface, it will not explode. The secondary fire shoots out a projectile which, after traveling a short distance, explodes and shoots out a cone of pellets, much like his primary fire. The primary fire is a shotgun, suitable for dealing damage at close range. However, if you can alert your team when you hook an opponent they will be likely to shoot at the target, all but guaranteeing their demise. With his large heal on a medium cooldown, he can operate for long periods of time away from his team. He can function as a flanker, where his chain can catch enemies unawares and kill them before they can react. However, his lack of any kind of barrier makes him a lackluster pick when your focus is on protecting your teammates. His Scrap Gun gives him powerful short to medium-range damage, while Take A Breather allows him to remain a persistent threat, even without a friendly Support.
Roadhog has a unique Tank playstyle that's focused on singling out vulnerable enemies and yanking them in for the slaughter with his Chain Hook.
