This is actually sad, what the hell OP stop D':

Somebody got to speak up, somebody gotta fight through the tears! >:'(

Uplifting headcanon: Roadhog knew he was in the spotlight way too long and talked to Jeff to make his buddy Junkrat shine as well, in exchange for his own viability. Because that's what friends do.

*brings a tear to my eye*

Thank you.

In the lore Roadhog is kind of an asshole. His interactions with Junkrat usually consist of "Shut up" and "Annoying".

That's how friends talk to each other tho

I wouldn't know.

/r/me_irl

i believe you mean /r/meirl

/r/mei_rl

/r/meow_irl

Well, that's how *Australian* friends talk to each other. If you're being insulted, that means we're mates.

What about that kid in CS:GO who called me a "facking scrublord sandnigger jew"? I don't know what any of those words mean but he seemed.. *nice.*

you done found your soul mate m8

Especially Australians

Well, Junkrat IS annoying.

For real. He's my second most played character, only by like an hour or two, and every time I unlock a new voice line I have the same reaction: "God this guy is insufferably annoying. *I LOVE IT."*

What's even more annoying than his voice? Fucking accidentally blinking into one of his goddamn traps. I can bend time at my will, yet a piece of metal stops me. AGHHHH

Oh man you probably wouldn't love what happened last game then. Charged up a rocket punch, released, suddenly tracer was in front of it and quite flattened.

#R E L A T E A B L E It's always a surprise too, and to quote Quicksilver "You didn't see that coming?"

I call tsundere.

"DON'T LOOSE YOUR WAAAAAAY!"

How can I fight through the tears if the tears are preventing me from seeing anything, no matter how much I wipe my eyes?

Shhh. I'm sad now haha

What got me was the hook on the ground... ._.

Lookin' like a fool..

WIT YO HOOK ON THE GROUND

Well the patches start coming and they don't stop coming Nerfed to the ground and the casuals start running Didn't make sense nerfing the scrap gun You land your hook and then you're done So much of you, so much HP Thanks for feeding the Reaper ulti Your SR's gonna go slow You'll never be in the meta now Roadhog, you're all washed out, alt-f4 now, don't play Roadhog, you're all patched out, uninstall now, g'day And all the hog mains got trolled Only Doomfist stars break past gold

Nice.

This was incredible! If the New Porker starts having articles, I'll be in touch.

He wants to hook his only friend back to him.. FeelsBadMan

Truly, it wasn't OP that did this. It was Jeff that killed this Beast. ;_;

>Roadhog... I'm sorry, Roadhog is not getting anything, that was just me being silly

I cry everytime

I cri evrytim > FTFY

Thank you friend

Why is this supposed to be funny? Genuine question, sorry.

Old mei mei

Simply an old meme

[It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.](https://giant.gfycat.com/HighAccomplishedInsect.gif)

perfect

Nope. Chuck Testa.

That remains the most savage thing to have ever come out of Jeff's mouth, and I'm including the Dinoflask stuff

[I dunnno about that.](https://youtu.be/UDGMFg_LZ8w?t=5s)

"Whoever came up with this sheer fisting of an encounter can go fuck themselves. Do me a favor so I don't waste my guild's time on this kind of jackass shit-fest again, send me an email at [email protected] when you decide to A) Implement an encounter that wasn't designed by a retarded chimp chained to a cubicle A.)Get a Quality Assuarance Department C) Actually beta test the fucking thing and D) Patch it live. And please for god's sake -- do it in the order I laid out for you. Don't worry, I won't charge you a consulting fee on that one. And for good luck you might as well E) Pull your heads out of your asses. While you're at it rename the game to BetaQuest since you've used up you're alotted false advertising karma on the Bazaar and user interface scam of '01.Fix the Emperor encounter. Fix Seru. Rethink your time-sink bullshit. Fix all the buggy motherfucking ring encounters (I suggest you let whoever made the Burrower one do this since that dude apparently laid off the crack the rest of you were smoking). Fix the VT key quest. Fix VT (just guessing it's fucked up considering your track record). Don't have the resources to fix this stuff? Move the ENTIRE Planes of Power team over to fixing Shadows of Luclin AND DO IT NOW. If you don't fix Luclin, you jackassess will be the only ones playing the Planes of Power." I'm pretty sure this was

You skipped point B).

I just copy pasted it, but you're right, and I don't feel like editing it because I'm lazy.

...you win. I dunno if he actually said it or not, but if he didn't that was still a lot of work to make a brutal fake quote.

He did.

No, no, he really did say it. He was *quite* upset about that game.

He did say it. Also his name was "Tigole Bitties"

The man, the myth, the legend: Jeff "Tigole Bitties" Kaplan.

he did it was an old everquest account on a forum

did he ever actually have to pay for that roast?

That's how blizzard gave him a job

The widowmaker defeat line is by far the worst.

Roadhog is not getting Jeff Shit.

He did get something, a voiceline, in fact. That says. "There's no I in team." Yep. Edit: The only reason I know this is because I happened to be 1 off from a full set of items for Hog.

There is no hog in teams anymore, is there...

I though that was an old voice line, but you are correct.

I laughed. I cried. I couldn't tell if it was a joke or an actual stumble.

[удалено]

That was such a fucking rollercoaster of emotion. I've never got played so hard by Jeff. Rip Hogg mains..

I thought he was making a joke. He actually didn't get anything lol.

Not sure if Jeff or Dinoflask line...

It was Jeff.

I genuinely feel sad :( We miss you Hog; even if you're not in Jeff's heart, you'll always be in mine.

Amen, brother.

Amen

Roadhog was so much fun. Then they just ditched him.

Ditched? They destroyed him :'(

Listening to Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and thinking of hog

*So goodbye to yellow brick road, where the hogs of the overwatch oink*

RIP in peace

*I'm holding back tears. This image is so powerful.*

It was difficult to create, but someone has to speak up. Where injustice rears its ugly head, I must stand tall.

But... justice rains from above?

Ah good point. Need to get some rocket boosters.

Rocket jump? That sounds dangerous.

I think justice needs a little nap \*twitchy eye\*

Nevermind I just cried

*I will remember you....*

*Will you remember me?...*

*Don't let your life pass you by* >Doo-do doo, doo-doo!

*Will you (hook and) dismember me....*

Boi shut yo sensitive ass up

Nvm I just cried

Boy shut your sensitive ass up.

Never mind I just cried.

ok first of all - this is hilarious and extremely well done. as for your site - also hilarious and extremely well done. you are going places my friend, places where your talents will not be nerfed.

Thanks for your extremely kind words! If you never hear from me again, it's because Jeff found out where I live.

Prepare for death!

No, prepare to WRESTLE with Jeff

So prepare for death

May the buffs be ever on your main.

I like that

Friendship ended with Roadhog, now Junkrat is my best friend

I'm still a roadhog main. In my heart

[yes](http://imgur.com/BgtdTQA)

NOW ROAD HOG AND JUNK RAT ARE BOTH MY BEST FRIEND

Real talk, is Junkrat getting buffed this patch?

No. Coming soon to the PTR.

Fingers crossed for increased Riptire health

I'd prefer a speed boost personally.

I'd prefer two mines

Two mines is confirmed I thought, but they were still deciding what to do with the tire.

[удалено]

I don't know if you can have both actually out at the same time, the impression I got is that it would store two charges like Tracer's blink and Sym's turrets. So you can do a double mine jump without waiting for a cooldown (or a triple jump if you still want to wait) or you can mine jump then throw your mine immediately after.

[удалено]

Super 110 dmg trap!

I'd like increased noise as well as buffs, so that I can laugh at the enemy team even more while running my tire around in circles.

I really do miss when I would get matched up with other players who chose Roadhog and we would just crank up the shenanigans while we fight the other team. Don't really get to see much of my Junker counterpart nowadays.

["We took a-way his heart and soul. But now, we're at the end, we're into deep, can't find a fix. Good~bye Roadhog MY friend."](https://youtu.be/HjLMq0P8uyY?t=1m3s)

[y op](https://media.giphy.com/media/BqXhUWMWNqFGM/giphy.gif)

Damn. You've got some funny shit on there. Good work op

Glad you like it, and thank you!

Honestly this is heartbreaking :(

I would pay all the monies for a Junkrat Roadhog single player expansion.

Roadhog is my favorite Hero. To see him in the state he is in now is sad. He basically is no help to the team outside of pulling someone out of position. I refuse to play the game again until the One Man Apocalypse is fixed. He doesnt have to be as powerful as before, maybe make it so you need a headshot on a few pellets for the one hit combo so it rewards skill rather than just giving a free kill on hook. But as he stands how he is unplayable.

*50 days have passed* *But, I cannot one shot...* *The community has lost their interest in me...* *...And yet, the pickrate drop continues.* *Blizzard's nerf chokes quickplay, comp, and pro matches.* *Roadhog... Is gone.* *Gotta get back...* *Back to the ones shots...* *Samurai Hog.*

[He's become that one guy you once loved to play as but as the patches went by he became a husk of his former self, not because he wanted to be but because people demanded him to change, slowly becoming something that was far beyond what we once knew. The more time passed the worse things became, ashes to ashes and dust in the wind Like his hook his heart remains forever broken, riding off into the great Australian sunset to possibly never return.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JYHk_D5A44)

That's really sad actually

Who is that big man in the background?

The one with the hook?

Yeah, he seems oddly familiar. Wasn't he called something like, "trail pig"?

I thought it was Street Pork

Path boar?

# **Make Roadhog Great Again**

Hilarious. Although they're pretty much just switching places. It's like some kind of Sith lord thing. "There can only be one Master Junker".

That's hilarious, gj.

Thanks man :)

So when does the patch go live

It's ok. I'll still run hog

Good man

damn.

Poor lil piggy.

This makes me want to cry

Thats a little depressing, did you see Junkrat's face while looking back at Roadhog? FeelsBadManl

more of this

wow that was kinda depressing, well done

Roadhog will get love with the NZ map.

*Crying like a stuck pig*

These two characters are my most played. I'm very upset but at the same time very happy that I'll get to use Junk in competitive

TBH I quit playing because of what happened to roadhog:/

Hog and Junk didn't care about skins. They just wanted to have fun hooking and blowing stuff up. But the Evil Jeff didn't care for such things. He didn't care for such things *at all*...

You need to frame this and send it to blizzHQ

lol, I'm not sure they'd like me questioning their game design decisions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0UudoppDDs

I love these type of newspaper comedy strips, but it will never reach the front page because of stupid and bland shit like GenjiCat reaches it all the time.

Don't cry for me, McCree! The past two have made it to front page. I believe in the community. :)

Made it

lol yup

> because of stupid and bland shit like GenjiCat reaches it all the time. :( I love GenjiCat, met the creator too. A nice person Edit: It was at Awesomecon, she had a table and the group that I was with decided to say hello! She's very friendly, and kinda short. I think, I dunno lots of people are tiny to me.

I bet she is. Seems like she'd be extremely friendly.

We can have both.

The law of the internet demands that we like one thing and one thing only and hate all other things!

I like this point you are making, but I guess that means I have to hate you as a person now. So yeah, good post but fuck you.

:<

I'd rather see GenjiCat than your posts.

I know you already have hundreds of comments, but I can't stop myself from writing another. This image is truly touching. I'm not kidding when I say it brings a tear to my eye. A lot of artwork gets posted here, but this one is something special, and so well thought. The hook on the ground is devastating. Thank you for creating and posting this <3

Thanks so much! Those are really kind words! I know it's a pretty sad image, but Roadhog was the first hero I really came to love in Overwatch, and it pains me to not be able to confidently pick him anymore. I don't think anyone meant for him to become useless, but I'm still upset about what's happened to him. So I'm glad to have so many other players to feel these feels alongside me. <3 right back at you.

Man, that just made me sad.

This somehow reminded me of the [scene] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVAUvm2PzFY) where Hades tries to convince Hercules to "take a day off". Great work OP.

No longer a happy patch day :(

Junkrat mains rejoice!

Jeff had a breakup with Roadhog, went to Hog's BFF Junkrat on the rebound, and is now spiting him.

Well played!

I love your schtick

Skins release today?

I'm crying... but I'm not no heal bitch nor feel bitch

I promise myself I not cry. Promise broken

Shade and savagery.

OP, y u do dis?

😢

meow

Holy fuck I'm actually sad now, someone please hold me.

Wait... I thought Hog was getting a buff today? No?

Damn, so Junkrat *didn't* get his buff, and the new skin is garbage. I'm not saying it looks *bad*, it just looks like he is literally covered in garbage he found to make cricket gear.

I still main and play Roadhog everyday, I haven't given up on my friend. I just don't play comp anymore..

is junk getting a buff? can someone elaborate for me

great now this event is going to be bittersweet

Well, this is depressing.

Great job on the pic lmao

Wow that hit the feels...

So do you guys genuinely think he's hating on Roadhog or do they have something big planned for him?

Forgive my ignorance, but is this referencing something?

Junkrat is getting buffs and skins while Roadhog has been nerfed, neutered, and even verbally assaulted by the man known as Jeff Kaplan.

Please make a Sumo skin for Roadhog.

I swear blizz is keeping track of my mains, and nerfing whichever hero I choose to master.

They look like big, good, strong hooks don't they?

It's Patch Tuesday.

Didn't Jeff come out and say that he personally thought they nerfed him too hard?

Did Roadhog look back when he was the one in the front? Probably not. Not that we could see behind his mask. At least Junkrat is getting a spot, for the first time ever. I just want both of them to walk side-by-side and be both able to use in Competitive, at least to the point where they are viable and teammates won't complain about you picking one of them. This new skin was, in my opinion, so good that it inspired me to play Junkrat more, and he's already my 3rd most played character. But I know that right now he's kind of useless, at least in a proper competitive match.

JEFF PLEASE TAKE AWAY THE 1000 SR SEPARATION THING FOR COMPETITIVE LUCIO BALL. they shouldn't correlate the two comp modes

Looked through your other work on your tumblr, really love your comics OP! They're so creative, love the art style :D

Love your site!
