Ana
Ana is an ideal counter against Roadhog as she is able of doing damage from a far range. As long as she can remain out of Roadhog’s hook range, she can keep hitting him without any concerns.
Widowmaker
Widowmaker is a sniper in Overwatch 2 and hence, is designed to pick out targets at long range. That spells bad news for Roadhog because he will always be a clean and easy target for Widowmaker without being able to use his hook.
Zarya
Zarya is the best tank character against Roadhog. Zarya’s shotgun is capable of quickly taking down Roadhog due to his large hitbox.
Roadhog synergies
Wrecking Ball
Roadhog and Wrecking Ball combine to form a deadly tank duo that is capable of winning games easily. All you need is a good DPS and support hero to pick the scrambling enemies.
Orisa
Orisa and Roadhog make a really good pairing. This pairing works best on maps where less movement is required. If Mei is also in the team, the team works even better and is capable of performing what is called Ice Fishing strat.
Sigma
Roadhog is capable of destroying the opposition with Sigma as both are really strong tanks. Sigma is the one who will take on the damage while Roadhog will be the one damaging the enemy.
