How would everyone feel if you could look around and shoot while being hooked? Still INCREDIBLY powerful by moving you out of position, but it at least would feel less cheap to die to if you had LITERALLY ANY AGENCY AT ALL during it. And it would make them have to use more than one braincell to decide if this target is worth hooking since they could shoot my face off during it.
Idk I just get tired of having my keyboard yanked away from me every 8 seconds.
I believe it needs even more than that.
For all I care, they could make it so he uses his hook like a whip; he can slam it on the ground or sideways to dislocate people or something like that. I don’t know.
I’m all for deleting it from the game but blizzard is so far in the sunk cost fallacy they’re finding buried treasure.
Whipping them in some random direction for a brief stun if they hit a wall or something sounds decent, still annoying and displaces you but isn’t just a free kill.
I see squishy poke slop I’m pulling them out of their safety bubble, period, it’s personal now, I don’t care if I die, I don’t care if I win, I’m going hitscan hunting
I have lost count of the times I’ve been hooked when I’m in the perfect position behind a tank, shield, multiple other teammates. It literally just takes one second and a few pixels of clearance and you can determine most team fights. Not even widow has this kind of potential.
I start foaming at the mouth when the purple stripper is Meta, now we just need to nerf Ashe into the ground, and make it so Hanzo isn’t shooting logs
It’s the same problem with Doom’s Empowered Punch.
But unlike Doom mains, the Hog mains are quite fond of hook, so I do get why the devs are hesitant to change it too much.
But I am tired of having this little dance of him creeping his way back up every 5 seasons or so.
If you so mad about shooter heroes in shooter game you should probably take a break or change a game
Nah I’m not mad, I’m just focused on making sure they have a terrible time, pointing and clicking from safety needs to have drawbacks, I am that drawback
I’m mad I’m having to aim and shoot a target that has agency while the other player is shooting at a target dummy because he yanked my keyboard away.
Other tanks with high damage are fine since they have to actually you know…gasp engage with the enemy beyond a single click.
All I hear is:
“I can’t win as easily as I wanted with my hero because another hero ruins my day”
In about the most whiny voice possible. That’s what I hear when I read threads like this.
Its not about how, its about person who complains about hitstans in fps game. Hod is a problem hero since game launch, he has only 2 states of balance, one, where hes commplitely useless, when he cant pull a hook, or hes complitely busted, when every hook finds it target. Its over 10 years now and devs know about this problem.for.sure, but they are not doing anything about that on purpose, i have no other explains about hog situation
It’s just fun to get the guys who think they’re safe shooting at me from 30 plus yards, like I said, it’s personally now, I’ve been picking on the Ashes and other distance garbage for a while now, the buff what just nice icing on the cake, was using venture and vendetta to do it before the hog buff
