In my own games and watching cyx, the consensus seems to be ana is much worse for hog now as she’s even more incentivized to anti him, but aside from breather (probably, don’t know what changes ana and zen are getting in season 8) needing a little nudge upwards, I think he’s in a great spot. I feel threatening at all times when playing hog now instead of just when hook is off cooldown, his gun feels great, the trap is very fun (especially as a junkrat player) and hooking someone as long as you plan for a combo with pre fire or trap almost always leads into a kill if they aren’t a tank. I love it.
I admit, I haven’t missed getting hooked. Sure the ability is the same as before, but it has always and will always feel shit to play against. So I hope after the hype dies down, the pickrate of Hog is going down as well.
