TheMiBu Gaming: Overwatch (Open Beta) Episode 17 - Roadhog Character Review
Welcome to TheMiBu Gaming channel. During the Overwatch Open Beta I am trying to review all 21 available characters. I am not a professional FPS player, so if I am getting something wrong, you can leave your feedback in the comments. Up in this episode: Roadhog. Roadhog is a ruthless killer with a well-earned reputation for cruelty and wanton destruction. |--| Mako Rutledge was one of the many inhabitants of the Australian Outback whose land was seized and used for the construction of an omnium. But in the wake of the Omnic Crisis, the government made a controversial move, gifting the land to the omnics who had nearly destroyed their country, in hopes of establishing a long-term peace accord. This agreement permanently displaced Mako and a large number of the area's residents: a scattered collection of survivalists, solar farmers, and people who just wanted to be left alone. |--| Furious over the loss of their homes, Mako and the residents turned to violent rebellion. They formed the Australian Liberation Front and struck against the omnium and its robot population to take back the lands that had been stolen from them. Events continued to escalate until the ALF sabotaged the omnium's fusion core, which resulted in an explosion that destroyed the omnium, irradiated the surrounding area, and littered the Outback with twisted metal and wreckage for miles around. |--| Mako watched as his home became an apocalyptic wasteland, and he was forever changed. |--| Adapting to his environment, he donned a mask and took to the broken highways of the Outback on his ramshackle chopper. Little by little, his humanity was forgotten. The last vestiges of Mako faded away and the ruthless killer Roadhog was born. |--| Roadhog is a Tank character that is able to deal damage and keep enemies in range while still keeping himself in the fight. His Scrap Gun fires blasts of shrapnel at a wide angle, though it has a short range; it also has a secondary fire, a shrapnel ball that explodes deals damage from farther away. His first ability, Take a Breather, has him inhale from his Hogdrogen gas can, healing himself over time. In his second ability, Chain Hook, he tosses a chain at his target and pulls them in close if it hits. In his ultimate, Whole Hog, Roadhog jams a top-loader onto his Scrap Gun and fills it with ammo, cranking out shrapnel that pushes enemies back and deals damage.
