New Roadhog player confused about “feeding,” can someone explain?
Hey all, pretty new to Overwatch and I’ve been maining Roadhog lately.
I feel like I take a ton of pressure off my team since the enemies tend to focus me and burn abilities trying to bring me down.
The problem: I keep getting chat complaints that I’m “feeding.” This confuses me because I actually don’t die very much.
I did some research and I think people mean that by standing out in the open and eating damage, I’m giving the enemy team a bunch of ult charge? So they end up with ults faster than us and snowball fights? Therefore, I am apparently still “feeding” the enemy team ult charge, even if I am not dying.
If that’s what feeding means, my question is, wouldn’t it roughly even out? My supports are healing me through all that damage, which gives them ult charge too. I’m generating my own ult charge from the damage I’m doing, from tanking hits, and from self-healing with Take a Breather. So is it actually a net loss?
Can someone break down what “feeding” actually means in Overwatch and any best practices to avoid it while still playing the frontline tank role.
Thanks in advance, trying to improve!
