Roadhog was an extremely unfair hero to play against for a long time. His ability to instantly pick off most characters in the game without any help made him too strong and annoying. Thankfully the Overwatch team listened to the community and changed Roadhog in a way that the core skill set and feeling of the hero is quite similar, yet it requires more skill and coordination to play.

Even though his role in the game is Tank, you are capable of dealing massive damage to enemies, making him virtually a viable DPS pick in tank-heavy lineups.
