Yeah i get it, you tried something new at a time when he was bad, but we are past that.
But this is one of the most stand out examples of power creep at the moment.
Get it out of here smh

Longer cool down, shorter range.
Then it is basically fine.

Assuming you are talking hog, which is the least performing tank in the game right now.
and yet, someone here still managed to complain about it.
Sojourn is deleting people
Ana is deleting tanks
Winston everywhere
And you manage to die to a hog of all things, that has half a dozen counters.
How is a tank doing least performance, most countered be an example of “power creep”?
Idk how people lose on hog, I do really good with him, now that perks exist and I can heal my team.
I also have a ton more shooting uptime with his hook mag reload perk.
And yet every time I play him it occurs to me- I don’t HAVE to hold hook for the right moment or be careful not to waste it. Because every game I’m surprised at how stupid short the cooldown is.
Not saying need hog either. But he’s definitely low effort and big value. Or maybe he isn’t since he’s performing the worst despite my games. Maybe his players just aren’t using him right?
I know a lot of people pick hog when they aren’t getting healed enough on tank, and that’s NOT when you should play him. He needs a ton of upkeep actually if he’s gonna actually be tanking for the team.
He also is invariably trash outside of having his team heal perk, so I try to farm that asap.

(U just assume i “cant deal with hog” even though i have a Season 1 player icon?)
My oppinion here has nothing to do with tiers or performance.
Overwatch is a game centered around dmg breakpoints and cooldowns. (120 dmg used to matter)
I dont care if he is counter pickable.
6 second cool down breaks the eb and flow of the game, it was put at 8 seconds for a reason.
Dropping it down to 5 seconds also wont do anything to change how suseptable he counterplay.
Im just saying. Bad change.
They barely land any hooks, how does it even mess anything up?
Dva got a 4sec booster cooldown, 2s matrix cooldown (I think)
Same for fire strikes
Same for doom
list goes on
True, just increases his lethality. which is also fine ig
I dont like that. He already has one of the most polorizing match up spreads in the game. The match-ups he wins, feel very 1 sided.
He is a garbage character since the release of the game, and they keep trying to make up for it by buffing stats. I just think the game would be more enjoyable for everyine if they just gave up and deleted him.
Same with sombra, mistake of a character.
Have you ever seen a group of new players run into sombra or hog. They hate it and think the game is stupid, then get off and play something else tomorrow. (I tought a bunch of new players at my local college esports, they all think its dumb)
The existance of Silence, and Hook abilites in other MOBA games is not justification for it to exist in overwatch (my oppinion)
He is also a crazy strong counter pick against certain tank combos.
