Roadhog Tier Rating - C-tier

We rate Roadhog as a C-tier Tank hero in the current Overwatch 2 meta (among possible tiers of S, A, B, C, and D).

Roadhog is a C-tier Tank at best but could easily be categorized lower. Even if you're putting up significant Elimination and Damage stats with him, he's essentially an Ultimate farm for the enemy team. You might be staying alive by healing yourself, but how much Ult charge is the enemy building?

Despite his self-healing ability, Take a Breather, he still often demands a ton of focus from allied Supports. While Supports can have to do a lot to keep him alive, Roadhog has no abilities to help heal or block damage to his allies.
