Look, this version of Hog is really bad, and they gave him a trap so he could get his 1 shot back.
So clearly, the devs are ok with Hog having a 1 shot and in the past when they were reworking him they said they’re against making him more team based.
Because it goes against his design, or vision, or whatever.
So, in a nutshell they’ll never make him more team based, and he’ll always have a 1 shot in some capacity.
If that’s the case, just give us old Hog back. You have to be so ridiculously good at Hog just to be decent compared to the other tanks.
The only thing I’d request if that happened, is his hook range should go from 20m > 10m
Then he wouldn’t be borderline a throw pick and he’d have more skill expression again because of his beautiful old right click/secondary fire.
Halving hook range would suck. I’d say lowering it even by like 5 metres would be enough
15m could work, 10m might be too short, I’m not sure, would have to see how it feels in game, but I felt like the severe range lost would make sense considering the reward is pretty big.
Why would you want old hog back? Having your breather interrupted when it’s on a CD is just a death-sentence, especially without a 2nd tank. Why would you want that? So many ways to interrupt it.
And 10m hook range is a pretty stupid suggestion and makes me think you’re trolling.
The best way to make hog more fun is to sort out Ana and then nerf hog/mauga accordingly when there is no 100% heals reduction in the game.

If you’re incapable of having a discussion as an adult without insulting me, you’re not worth talking to, muted and moving on. See ya

He’s a tank that literally has nothing but the 1-shot. He doesn’t have a shiled, he doesn’t have matrix, he doesn’t have armor, he doesn’t have mobility - the one shot is literally all he has or he’s unplayable.
It makes more sense to just remove him from the game, because if you’re going to change his entire game-play identity and philosophy, might as well just make a new tank in his place.
Makes more sense in what way?
The devs should be interested in overall game health both from a balance perspective and a player enjoyment perspective.
If reworking Hog to be more team based accomplishes both of those things, that that makes the most sense.
Old roadhog but new breather (slightly nerfed, ofc) and a 15m, 20 dmg, 4s cd hook would be good. Nerf the destination distance to 3.5m if 1-shot became a thing again.
Wouldn’t make a difference. As long as his 1 shot is the only value he can bring to the game he will never be able to be good.
A tank shouldnt be able to 1 shot and since thats the only thing he does currently he will always have to be weak
If you want hog to be good he needs to do something else and loss the 1 shot
