Roadhog vs Wrecking Ball

WR 48.2% Pick 8.4% Ban 17.3%

Self-sustaining brawl tank who hooks isolated enemies into two-burst shotgun range and absorbs incoming fire with Trash Compactor to throw it back as an explosive scrap ball. Season 5 rework (2026-10-06) traded the lobbed secondary fire and the one-shot hook combo for projectile denial and a faster, less lethal hook.
