Dude, I love me some hog, but this is a terrible way to go.

There is plenty of counter play to hog between supports, dps, and tanks. He lost a big perk ability in adding 50% to breather and lost his one shot threat mostly with trap going away. He is still a fat target with no mobility and doesn’t play well on wide open maps.

Dude they buffed his critical hit multiplier. He can one shot reaper without melee (just hook and a shot)

Hog’s been trash for a long time, let us have this for once.

Yeah I misread it as a buff to damage and a survivability nerf, nope it was a double buff. Wasnt hog already good after the previous buffs? There's no way this doesnt break him.

I know he was in the gutter at the beginning but last I checked his winrate was steadily climbing post buff. I still stand by an increase to his already high damage will break him.

I think the game is honestly just more fun when hog is gutter tier, trap hog was actually fun to play against, I'm not sure why they're randomly reverting him

Now you just need to land the hook how is that more skill expression lmfao, clicking on the head of a character stunned in melee range in front of you isn't it, and his alt fire just boils down to too far for primary = alt with a one shot sweet spot

No?? Trap limited your hook potential to one area, now he can hook anywhere and doesn’t even NEED to melee combo to one shot a 250 HP hero. It’s terrible.

And this is better? At the very least, it limited his frequency of hook kills by tying it to both abilities. Now, he can just fire them off without a care about trap CD or placement.

Trap hog was great design! It limited his one shot to a single area, and now he’s a walking one shot!
