Overwatch is one of the most famous video games currently in the community of players with a little more than a year, competing directly against video games such as League Of Legends in countries such as South Korea, where more are active players and becoming the most played from that country.

Its game mechanics consists of six people per team, where we choose a hero with unique moves and abilities. The main objective is to work in team either to attack or defend points, goal escort, control and competitive mode. They recently added new game modes like team combat.

Each hero has a specific role and are: Offensive, Defensive, Tank and Support with various maps and game modes. They make Overwatch one of the most beloved games in the community of players. And for me one of my favorites.
According to official figures on the same page Overwatch exceeds 30 million players.

Roadhog is a ruthless killer with a well-deserved reputation for his unjustified cruelty and destruction.

After the Ornamental Crisis, the government gave away the Australian omnium and the surrounding area to the omnicos who had almost destroyed the country in the hope of establishing a long-term peace agreement. This agreement permanently displaced Mako Rutledge and a large number of local residents: a dispersed group of survivors, owners of solar farms and people who just wanted to live in peace.

Furious at having lost their home, Mako and the others chose to organize a violent rebellion. They formed the Australian Liberation Front and attacked the omnium and its robots to reclaim the lands they took away. The actions did not cease until the front sabotaged the melting nucleus of the omnium, which caused an explosion that destroyed it, irradiated the region and left the Australian savannah full of scraps and scraps of metal scattered for miles.
Mako saw his home become an apocalyptic desert, and he would never be the same again.

To adapt to this new environment, he began wearing a mask and proposed to travel the destroyed roads of the desert on his battered motorcycle. Little by little, he was forgetting his humanity. The last vestiges of Mako disappeared, giving way to the birth of the ruthless killer Roadhog.

Roadhog is a little piggy, jokingly is a hero tank that with his skills can help the team thanks to his hook that pulls enemies near him to eliminate them or his self healing more effective with movement, is a criminal without a heart a very fun hero to use. One of the few characters in Overwatch that has no passive.

It is a pistol that shoots bullets instead, fires scrap equipped with two options of short distance that covers a large area and long distance that detonates when moving away, it is like shooting shrapnel.

With left click on my case game on the pc, shoot very short distance very effective against enemies after pulling with the hook, which does a great damage that can kill the enemies, with a capacity of 5 shots and a recharge time of 1.5 seconds.

With the right click, it is used for long distances, which launches a ball of shrapnel that detonates as it moves away, dispersing fragments of metal when it hits also with a capacity of 5 shots and a recharge time of 1.5 seconds.

It is his first skill that is used with the E key, restoring his health for a short time, healing level is 300 health and reducing enemy damage by 50% for 1 second lasts the skill, with a cooling of 8 seconds.

His second ability and also very important is the powerful hook of Roadhog which throws a chain to a target, in case it catches the target it drags towards him. Its damage is not much, but if the distance you can pull with 20 meters and a reuse of 8 seconds.

Combo hook, shot and hit.

It is his special and very powerful ability, which fills his ammunition scrap pistol and for a certain time shoots shrapnel to the style of a Mini-Gun, hitting his enemies either to kill him or to push him off the map. This ability lasts 6 seconds with a rate of fire of 7.5 shots per second, a very powerful weapon.

This gameplay is my property on my channel YouTube

Using Roadhog is relatively easy is a tank hero that can take a lot of damage and heal without forgetting to do enough damage to the enemy. If you use the combo to perfection you can kill the enemies in an easy way which can draw a lot depending on the map and the time of the game, its special is important for essential moments of the game, is a hero difficult to kill as its healing is used in movement and to be a large character has a fairly good mobility.

It is advisable to use your "All Wild Boar" ability on maps where there are always cliffs giving you an ability to push your enemies off the map, it is important to learn how to use your "Chain Hook" since accuracy is essential to annihilate the enemy team .

He is a very complete hero, he can keep alive by himself and help the team by pulling and annihilating his enemies. Another thing that I personally like about Roadhog is that with a relatively low latency its hook is more accurate, its role is essential in maps where you have to move the target by its ability to play at close range. His dress and weapon I like and it reminds me of the Mad Max saga of which I am a big fan.

His hook combo with chain, short range shot and melee hit make Roadhog a tenacious hero to wipe out his enemies with one blow.
His ability takes a breather can get him out of many difficulties, in short games this skill can be essential in the development of the game.
Your special ability can kill enemies or push them.
Strong against heroes like; D.va, Mercy, Tracer.
Form of aggressive game.
Interrupts enemy attacks.

He is a large hero with no shield that attracts much enemy fire (shield of meat).
Little ammunition.
Lately has suffered many Nerfs so in many players are not choosing.
Cadence slow firing, so you must hunt down enemies.
Weak against heroes like; Mei, Hanzo, Widowmaker, Soldier 76.
Very prone to snipers because of its size and not having a shield.

I love this segment because every day I learn new things about Overwatch's heroes.

Roadhog was announced on September 22, 2015, along with Junkrat. Before that, he was joked in two tweets of @PlayOverwatch on Twitter, as well as a video in the universe: A moment in the crime Special report: "The Junkers"
Roadhog was seen in newspapers around multiple maps before it was revealed. It was also seen in conceptual art.
The original concept of Roadhog was like an irradiated mutant. Early conceptual art gave him a real stitched pig face instead of a mask.
If Junkrat and the Roadhog dance emotes are properly positioned and timed, they will rise about five during their dances and an audio signal will be heard when they do so. To do this, they must face the same direction, and Roadhog should be on the right side of Junkrat. Both people must activate the dance at the same time.
Roadhog does not talk much. He has only said a total of 4 words in all his main appearances. 1 word in Junkertown: The Plan and 3 in Wasted Land.
Given the shared history with Australian Junkrat, Roadhog is probably a reference to the Mad Max movie franchise.
Roadhog is likely to belong to New Zealand's Maori heritage due to its real name (Mako) and the alternative skin titled "Toa", which is the Maori word for "Warrior".
The quote "She will be right" is a common saying in New Zealand slang and culture to mean "all is well" or "will be acceptable".
"Mako" is also the Maori word for "the shark" or "a shark's tooth" that could explain the alternative shark head skins of Roadhog.
Mako is also a specific species of shark that has a very dark blue color, like the "Mako" skin, and has a head very similar to the "helmet" in "Mako" and "Sharkbait" skins.
Roadhog's "Eyes" spray resembles pigs from the Angry Birds franchise.
When Roadhog pulls an enemy with Chain Hook, he sometimes shouts, "Come here!" which is a reference to the character of Mortal Kombat, Scorpion. Scorpio is a character who has a chain blade, and uses it to pull an enemy from the stage while shouting "Come here!"
His quote "Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth" is a quote from the famous boxer Mike Tyson.
I had a date that was "Thanks for noticing", this is a reference to Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.
It had a line where it hit "So much difficulty in the LBC, it is a little difficult to be the road HO only G". This is a reference to Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice". This was presumably removed due to copyright.
