Um, I clearly said I was hooked by roadhog through an object, so not sure why you are going off on a tangent about roadhog play time? Also you are wrong, so very wrong, server timing can cause some odd hooks, but the hook can grab right through things. It is more of a hitbox type issue than a timing issue. Say you have an elbow exposed and otherwise you are entirely behind cover. The hook will"hit" your elbow, but in fact what happens is it grabs your body through the object you are behind, then pulls you in. At least that is how I assume it works, as, like I said, I have been hooked from behind cover, where I was for more than a couple of seconds. In fact, the most memorable time was on Temple of Anubis where I was behind a pillar sniping, without having moved for a few seconds and roadhog hooked me from almost directly on the opposite side of the pillar, pulling me right on through. Well, his hook literally came through the pillar, I kind of slid around it on the way to him. I think it is a similar "grabby" type of hitbox issue, similar to hooking with widowmaker occasionally targeting something you are not aiming anywhere close to, simply because it is "close" to the path of your hook.
no it isn't its because his hook is hit scan if he can see only your arm and the crosshair is on your arm when he clicks its a hit, it has nothing to do with hit boxes at all. Hitscan+favor the shooter+60/20 is why this happens go look it up yourself there are discussions about this 40 pages long on overwatch forums where its fully explained.
and why is it everyone wants to nerf the skill based characters like widow/genji
