he is better, but his old weaknesses mostly remain. I think only Orisa is no longer a hard counter.
Poking him from long range to get ult charge, zen/ana destroying him are still the same.
My only problem apart from Ana is that he still is a bit of an ult battery which is why I play him so passively and still there are times when i just peek out of cover and instantly lose 300 hp. People are obsessed with shooting and tunnel visioning the Hog.
To get maximum value of Hog you need good DPS players to take advantage of the enemy’s obsessive focus on Hog. A good Mei with Hog have very strong synergy. Not only can wall secure the hooked kill, it also stops incoming heals, incoming damage. Mei can also prevent rush comps from overwhelming the Hog.
