Overwatch 2 Mythbusters - ROADHOG Rework Edition

[@KarQ]

So at 2:21 they already hotfix buffed him back to 40% damage reduction yesterday so he CAN tank DVa bomb up close again as long as you have 600 HP.

[@quentincl2932]

At 5:38 you said wrecking ball destroyed the trap, but it s worth mentioning that the first initial dmg of the trap is triggered anyway and deals 60 dmg to the naughty rat who deserves it.

[@Teaadrop]

yeah and weird thing is, it was apparently indestructible after being activated..

It can’t get to 0, there are diminishing returns when stacking basically any % debuff in ow

[@bigfudge2031]

@@luminen4051Doesn't feel like there is with the amount of CC in the game.

[@merxh00z]

Yea I think it stacks multiplicatively, like if two 50% slows stacked for example, it would actually be a 75% slow, as the second 50% would be 50% of the remainder, so only an additional 25%, but I imagine that there must be no limits comps that can get damn near close to 100%

@@luminen4051 depends on if it's additive or multiplicative

​@@merxh00z no, you can't get close to 100% in any way. Alec Dawson said there is an internal % limit on slow effects

The reason TAB's meter doesn't charge faster in Kitsune Rush is because it's not considered a cooldown. This also goes for Pharah's jet fuel and Moira's biotic energy

road hog's head grows when you inspect him while changing skins.

[@ethanpotato1971]

You're always my favorite to watch the myth buster stuff

[@murilotheodoro5025]

I'd like to see more myths about what happens to you if someone else triggers the pig pen, like, what if rein has his shield up, I'm behind it but a teammate triggers it and I'm in the AOE, do I take damage? How big is the 60 damage activation hitbox and does all players in the area get popped up or just the one who activates it?

[@zc8673]

Literally my first thought as well.

[@rajkanishu]

the aoe is caused by the electricity on the ground, it's like torb's lava, there's no way to block it it's not a LoS thing, at least that's what I felt playing with it

[@Eli_Kennemer]

Not sure when this might b e a Mythbusters question - But "Does LW tree and other deployables block tracers pulse bomb?" - At 6:43 you talked about Mei potentially lifting Hogs trap. That made me remember me playing Lifeweaver on release and setting my tree on top a tracer bomb and negating it.

[@somedude4087]

5:38 weirdly...we can see that it broke the trap...but it also triggered and damaged you (the 60 on the screen) somebody else tested it and first time the same happened, but after that the results were differen't, don't remember how tho

[@kuromaru5344]

6:28 "Oh yeah, you're slow as shit" cracked me up

[@nr21_7ndrd52]

5:20 😂 Where did he came from?😂

[@HasturBeta]

For the oneshot to work you have to jump forward halfway thru your hook animation and it'll work. Sometimes you won't even have to melee, your scrapgun will just one shot them

[@hogie48]

Do you look down with the hook?

[@Jet7Wave]

The hook starts slowing you down even as you're in the air so I can't see how this is accurate. How is it supposed to help you?

[@Jet7Wave]

Oh nvm! I read it backwards. So for anyone misunderstanding like I did, it literally is doing a little hop as the hook hits your opponent. As far as I can tell it's not a one-shot like it used to be where you could kill a tracer before she recalls or blinks, but hopping means the enemy is pulled into a position in the air where they are unable to strafe away from you, meaning you have time to get close enough. Keep W pressed, hook, hop, press forward and fire to melee as the enemy hits the ground. A lot of heroes can save themselves from this, but if they are badly positioned with their abilities on cooldown, it's theoretically effective.

[@HasturBeta]

@@Jet7Wave I'd like to add, it's LITERALLY impossible to practice this on the dummies in VAXTA. I tried for like an hour an the bots reaction times are just...godlike. However in the practice range you can test around with it an get a better feel. All that being said tho, the better one shot for hog now is to just hook them into pigpen an shoot em once. Lol

[@HasturBeta]

@@hogie48 In my VERY LIMITED experience testing this out in the practice range, the answer is "it depends". It's kinda different for very hero you hook. You just gotta go into the range and test it out on the stationary hero dummies to get a feel.

[@ePotaito]

The casual flying Queen is a treat here 😂😂😂 2:06

[@AutumnEnvy]

"here is visual confirmation that you cannot eat it" famous last words

[@jundahbalafif]

you can animation cancel the ult end animation with the new take a breather and goes for a scrap gun shot immediately after the ult ends (you take a breather right just before the ult ends, and you can shoot your regular scrap gun immediately without delay from the ult end animation)

[@kylelinder4623]

🤣 I gotta know! What's the deal with that Junkerqueen just randomly flying by at about 2:05? I was all 🤨 rewound and slowed it down just to be 😯🤣🤣🤣

[@jnrfalcon]

Technically Orisa takes the damage from triggering traps, but she breaks it instantly because of movement immunity. It's not just "break it in half".

[@BendMax]

Also for the tests with reins charge and jq ult, you could have a second enemy activate the trap early to see if they are affected.

[@nugo344]

0:30 i belive if you look down while hooking it will bring the target closer to you

[@Dr_Decaf]

[@bendersbeard]

Great job, Kar Kew! What an informative video :D

[@themoonsevilsister1561]

you can set the projectile speed down to test the "destroy before it's deployed" more clearly those most deployables can't be destroyed before they land save sym's turrets so it makes sense pig pen can't be destroyed soon either

love that junk and hog can get a duo trap kill on a squishy

[@DasOmen02]

The way it reacts to some of these myths, I'm going to guess that the hitbox for the trap itself is probably just underneath the map; hence why Zarya bubble doesn't interact with it at all and stuff. Interesting I wonder how Venture will interact with this?

[@pabloaguilera3809]

At 7:59 I feel you should have also shown if they target an already triggered trap as well

[@KojiNatu_]

There's nothing to target when it's already triggered, based on previous examples.

[@rajkanishu]

once it's triggered you can't interact with it in any way, same as steel trap

[@Donutgod2287]

[@Official-Female-Predator]

5:24 what was Zen doing?

[@mrpallas9402]

You mentioned that you don’t deal the full 150 damage from pig pen due to it booping the enemy up, does that mean that jumping will reduce the damage?

[@tomzeru]

We want a reworked Roadhogs tips n tricks with Cyx

[@HenryAshman]

So the trap doesn't get blocked by shields if you deploy after you trigger it, but what happens if someone else triggers it with the shield already up? And is there a difference between symmetra's shield, which is explicitly floor to ceiling, versus rein or sigma which may not touch the floor. Also what happens with a mei wall instead of a shield?

[@burkhardt7694]

Roadhog can no longer face tank d'va bomb. Also a good thing double tank is no longer a thing because hog/ram with Mei would be awful to play against.

[@craberadicator9446]

Cant wait for hog mei junk comps having the most devious traps

[@BrokenSkunk]

When you ping his trap, it shows junk trap icon. We gotta fix that

[@pinacolada9793]

What if you stack pigpen, vortex, Mei blaster, Illari ult, Sym turrets, Cass nade, and whatever else has a slowing effect that I may be forgetting?

[@mainquest1769]

I'd say the one shot is very doable by hook, shoot, melee and pig pen in that sequence.
