Broken can also mean something is no longer good ya know.

No, it doesn't. Character go through phases of not being good ALL THE TIME. Roadhog is not a special snowflake in this regard. Balance is hard and it takes time to adjust. Sombra was awful for like 3 months after release, but they stuck with her kit and tuned it until she was in a good spot. They could have immediately given her some broken ability to make her viable but what would that have accomplished? Her mere prescense would have been shitty for the game.

Roadhog being able to be beaten in pre-nerf state does not mean he was okay, either. Peak Widowmaker was beatable and had certain counters but that didn't make her not awful to fight.

Honestly, the way you're talking it sounds like this is your first character-based multiplayer game. The ebb and flow of character strength is just something you have to get used to. Tracer is my favorite character and there's been times when she was awful. It happens. A character spending weeks underpowered is absolutely nothing in the scope of the big picture. Sometimes it takes literal years to fix them.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
