The people who think Classic 2.6 Hog Cycle is no-skill are mostly midladder players running 6.2 decks. Classic 2.6 is known for countering extremely well heavy cards played singularly, so it's extremely effective against midladder crap. Of course you don't need that much skill against random decks, the true skill cap of the deck is shown against well-built decks... especially nowadays since everything counters Hog Rider... even Pekka decks (that are storically a good matchup for 2.6) aren't even that easy anymore for 2.6.
I honestly agree. I think its weird to think that everyone calls 2.6 no skill but many other cycle decks play a similarly defensive style and those are considered skillful. 2.6 only gets that criticism because its so infamous and F2P friendly. Its much more highly used compared to other cycle decks like hog eq, goblin drill, or miner poison.
@@louisfernandezleija69lil bro didn’t see the part in the video where ian asks us (the viewer) why we think hog 2.6 is no skill 🤷♂️ 5:26 is the timestamp since your limited attention span can’t handle it
I think people say 2.6 is no skill because it’s mostly spamming hogs. But that’s basically how you play hog in most hog decks. The reason I say 2.6 is skillful is because quite literally one mistake/missed placement can cost you the entire game lol. Unlike say Giant graveyard, peka bridge spam, lumberloon freeze, goblin giant sparky wizard mini pekka(I play against that deck so much and I always lose😂😂) and more no skill decks but nooooo people complain about 2.6 lol
No deck is no skill. Yes, even Giant-Graveyard, Recruits and Elixir Golem require great knowledge to beat bad matcups. The reason 2.6 is called no-skilled is because it is great against heavy decks and struggles against cycle decks. Most midladder players play heavy decks so they get destroyed by it. Also since it is F2P friendly many not so great players adopt it, but that doesnt mean anything.
As a classic Logbait player, we get called gay (LoG BaiT : LGBT) and no skill spammers, even though it is one of the easiest decks to punish, and comebacks are very hard. Overcommiting in single elixir is a death sentence against every beatdown deck with a reset for the inferno. We have a hard time with RRs, Egolem, Lighning Decks and Royal Hogs, but we can outplay all of them. Btw I understand that the modern Logbait decks are too spammy and ruin our reputation.
It's no skill now, much like miner poison or bait or most cycle decks, maybe it was higher skill years ago, but everyone knows how to play it and play against it now. If you outcycle you win. If you play double counter to make up for the cycle you counter. Very few games outside of mistakes are "outplayed" games!
@@blakekiilunen6572 you act like a slight variation is changing the concept of the deck. Also there’s a reason you said top 20. Look at top 50 or top 100. Hog cycle everywhere. Maybe there’s a swap for firecracker instead of log or a knight somewhere but same shit
Hog rider survive rocket and get a hit on tower, stright to tower with fast movement without need to charge and high hp, BROKEN CARD. Combine with best defense 2.6.. lol
@19:48 We did not see bro in the next match...

All that yapp for a deck is crazy

@@louisfernandezleija69 you would hate xbow players, that’s all they do is yap about interactions and matchups 😂
I used to play 2.6 because it was easy to lvl up, now I play it because it’s my only maxed out deck

Man most of my decks have ice spirit os I'm thinking of getting evo ice spirit instead of the evo boomer what do you think ?
I’d reccomend it yeah, ice spirit is so useful, and I’d guess that bomber is getting nerfed next balance patch
@arborealmole8079 yeah same thought man

What do you mean "back" its been dominating the meta for like 7 years now
When has it finished even top 20 in the past 3 years
it has been extremely trash in the meta for months now
@@hawkeblum7595 it's trash. 2.6 hasn't been good in years.

@ItsManu001maybe the exact 2.6 version used in this video hasn’t been in the top 20 but that deck with one or two cards swapped has been. Same shit
