Inter-character interactions, jokes, Junkrat's personality, Roadhog's behavior, dialog interactions, even the way their ages line up: Mako Rutledge is 48 years of age. Who is that son, you ask? Junkrat, or Jamison Fawkes. My head minion put up with more than the Little People in Cirque du Freak! Audio clips from Mako strung together in the correct order and context make what seems to be a proud, near-fatherly speech from a surrogate father to a son who has done so much. My minions have dredged up information from the depths of internet hell and so much more, Twitch livestreams and YouTube videos long since gone, or so old no one cares, creator/animator accounts, earlier Blizzard accounts, roleplayers, a stingy Homestucker, and someone who carries a Widowmaker body pillow around, and earlier Roadhog lines that were deleted shortly after they were released, (Suspicious Blizzard!), personal observations, and hacking a fired animators account. The last vestiges of Mako faded away and the ruthless killer Roadhog was born.įrom what I have seen of Roadhog in action, I can't buy into Roadhog being a ruthless killer/murderer considering evidence suggesting he is Junkrat's surrogate father. Little by little, his humanity was forgotten. Mako watched as his home became an apocalyptic wasteland, and he was forever changed.Īdapting to his environment, he donned a mask and took to the broken highways of the Outback on his ramshackle chopper. Events continued to escalate until the rebels sabotaged the omnium's fusion core, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the facility, irradiated the region, and littered the Outback with twisted metal and wreckage for kilometers around. They formed the Australian Liberation Front and struck against the omnium and its robot population to take back the lands that had been stolen. This arrangement permanently displaced Mako Rutledge and a large number of the Outback's residents, a scattered collection of survivalists, solar farmers, and people who just wanted to be left alone.įurious over the loss of their homes, Mako and others turned to violent rebellion. Roadhog is a ruthless killer with a well-earned reputation for cruelty and wanton destruction.Īfter the Omnic Crisis, government officials gifted the Australian omnium and the surrounding area to the omnics that had nearly destroyed their country, hoping to establish a long-term peace accord. HIs ultimate is a bit wild and difficult to aim with any consistent accuracy and is better suited for chaotic area denial.
Using the scrap hook with an immediate gun blast is a bread and butter combo, and the fact that he can heal himself with effectiveness frees up support to focus on other allies. This makes Roadhog a very simple hero to understand and play as he is the up close and personal tank who imposes himself upon enemies. The medium range cannon fire can do damage outside of 20 meters, but it is minor. All of Roadhog's abilities are only useful at closer ranges, within 20 meters or less.
