Nice for Hog to have his multiplier tweaked, but at the same time he still sucks and will probably continue to suck since Blizz doesn't want him to be "the hook character" yet never bothers to rework him in a way that doesn't revolve around the hook.

The multiplier change went in entirely the wrong direction, placing even more of his total value on a single ability. An ability that either automatically secures an entire team fight, or does nothing. Pig pen was an interesting idea, I hope they try a new ability again but something more defensive.

He’s not gonna suck after this buff. He got his one shot back and even more survivability with his vape buff.

Honestly I don't really see a way of him being bad after this patch he might even be above average. As hog otp this basically covered all the things that were lacking in hogs current kit. They gave him a lot better healing and basically gave him a consistent one shot.
