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.
His hook can’t even one shot anymore and yet it still has 6 years of nerfs still attached to it. Seriously what the fuck is his hook for? “Pulling people out of position”? They have to be fucking next to you for your hook to reach them anyway, and not if they’re standing remotely close to a ledge/ corner, because then your hook will just disconnect from them anyway. They took a character that was well designed and had a certain personality and playstyle to his kit and they nuked it into a weird hybrid that just feels awkward
