A Jump Trick has made Roadhog's hook more worrisome for enemies in Overwatch. Hog's damage is now higher as the Blizzard team has given him buffs, attempting to make him more of a damage dealer like he was at the beginning of the game's history.
so is there a name for this hog tech? here are a couple examples but pretty much placing enemies that are on the lowground to the highground by hooking, jumping and pull turning at the same time.

Jump Trick Makes Roadhog's Hook More Worrisome for Enemies in Overwatch
A Twitch streamer named "Cyx" showed to other players onTwitter, while on the high upper ground playing Roadhog, you can hook enemies up to you to get a one-shot kill combo on an enemy.
By hooking, jumping, and pulling all in one motion you can get enemies in front of you in a helpless state.
In the two clips that are shown, the enemies have their backs to the wall as they don't simply fall off the ledge or drop down as per usual but are killed by a one-shot in this newly discovered move.
“Good for consistent one-shots on squishies and really displacing tanks,” Cyx stated.
Cyx discovered this trick by watching another player actually, saying “I saw the tech first used by another hog player named ‘Silcro.' They know how to really work the hook and I’m always impressed and learning stuff watching them.”
