Exactly my thoughts on these people overhyping the so called "nerf". Do they think that every enemy a hog hooks would be above 200hp by the time of hook? No dumb wits, it's simple to reduce the health by 30-40 and then hook and one shot you. Blizzard didn't do shit to his breather or his HP and these people are going nuts...
@@dr.downvote All tanks have either mobility or some kind of a shield... What does Hog have again? Exactly. The breather. And you want it nerfed. Just learn to focus him instead of turning him into a throw pick.
most of the time (post nerf) hog only does about 105 damage to kiriko because of the small hitbox, he probably was expecting to live it as most hogs don't know how to use hook post nerf
@@obosranecc2938 Mercy should stick to DPS but it's still good practice to switch boost onto others under certain situations unless the DPS can just get more value / in a direct engagemeant.

Honestly, this hof feels nice. More rewarding, and you can dish out more damage per sec, and I can feel the difference on how fast you can shoot and reload. It's nice
For high ping players hog is kinda unplayable right now, like whats the difference between a hog that oneshot you and a hog that oneshot you with quirurgical precision, it still oneshots you, the difference now is skill, but this game is buggy af and sometimes ping doesnt allow you to play well
All these hog players complaining about the change but all it does is make him take a bit more skill. Something plenty of them are unfamiliar with. Be more like Cyx he's actually good at the character.
U have to shoot first then hook now even Cyx the best hog is missing one shots otherwise. They could’ve nerfed hog and kiriko without taking one shot away. One shot is the best part about playing hog such a gay change
He still plays pretty much the same, except more emphasis on pulling whoever you hook into your team than one shotting everything. Orisa is for sure gonna dominate for a while.

@@scarecrow_301 so many times now I get clutch hooks where I say literally yesterday I’d get the kill but now instead i just hooked someone near me who is now getting healed and shooting me now so it just makes it annoying to play

it’s great that I completely gave up on playing Overwatch 2 cause I still get overwatch content so I get to look in from the outside on how the game is still continuing to spiral downward. I’m excited to see what hero people are gonna cry about next.
Pretty sure a nerf to hog was a nerf to orisa, since orisa was only really meta to begin with since she was a hard counter to hog, currently scrimming winston comps so you have that to look forward to. Edit: Was the only tank that could stand up to hog*
@@TheWolfinite that is incorrect, Orisa is still very OP especially when given a single support pocket. Hopefully the slight nerf in the patch will change that... Hopefully.
Patch just came out and I see Cyx has already adjusted. He's just consistently landing those right clicks before he even bothers to go for the hook. As expected.
I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see a tank player with actual mechanical skill after the onslaught of boosted tanks complaining about the nerf when they don't even use slug half the time
They coudl've kep the one shot but nerfed the hook range, cause the issue is that good positioning didn't exist against hog unless you're out of LOS and he can yoink you from a map away
@@benbobst5032 he’s still unkillable, has high damage, environmental kill potential . He’s still a great tank, just not brain dead one shot easy anymore. Thank god. Still above doom, ball, dva, and rein in terms of power.
Having a mercy pocketing hog let you to one shot every time, is even more powerful than a sojourn-mercy and I think this could be meta when people notice about that
No it won't be, every tank even hog requires a main healer in most games, mercy is not that which means you still have to have someone go main healer which means the dps get no support. Good mercys will be able to keep track of hogs cooldown and GA over for the dmg boost but that isn't most mercy players
@@MC-ns8gb It’s not hard to track teammate abilities, and it’s even easier for the hog to communicate that he’s about to go for a hook. Damage boost keeps causing problems, looks like it wasn’t just sojourn after all.
Roadhog nerf was unnecasery, his one shot-combo was the only thing keeping him viable. But its not like its unavoidable or uncounterable. Almost every Tank can counter Roadhogs hook, but these silver players get soooooo mad as soon as they get hooked and killed. People complain about Roadhogs one shot combo. But what about widowmaker? Or sigmas rock plus his primary? Widowmaker can 1 shot almost every character that isnt a Tank, but Roadhog could only one shot Squishys, Reaper and Torbjorn.
I'd say the hog nerf was more deserved than the genji nerf, but i still cant make fun of hog players now because we also know what it feels like to have your character nuked in a way that makes it unfun to play it like how you used to Sadge
we did this kind of nerf back in Overwatch 1 to Hog. It didn't end well, because he became underpowered. Cyx being incredible at Hog doesn't mean Hog is good. I can't really understand how they nerf all tanks except Orisa, since Overwatch 1. Doom, JQ, now Hog. Man, these players
@@LeonBlade his entire existence revolved around being a punching bag, and especially true in Overwatch 2 being single tank. his survivability kit can be easily negated with various abilities, that's why I think that hook-shot combo is his 'signature'. remember; it's a combo, not 1 hit kill like snipers. if you die countless times to Hog with that combo, either you have 0 awareness, you like to 1v1 him, or you just don't play with your team. you literally can sleep him, nade him, throw suzu on your hooked teammate, boop him with junkrat/pharah, or just full on focus shoot him; he won't get those kills.
Wait I like these changes honestly, I thought hog was gonna be terrible now but they just force hog players to play as a team more, be more accurate and play a little smarter. It’s difficult to tell from this video whether hog is still too good or if it’s just cuz Cyx is insane tho.
@@aerostrafe1075 That's a one shot though. Yeah, people hate being displaced in the game by an ability with 20m range and die with no way of avoiding it. No surprise there.
@@LeonBlade Technically pulling you into 5 people with guns is not a one shot. You just got CCd but people will still complain. Range might be too long but if its too short then you can't really displace someone dead infront of you.
@@BeakerSteve I never said that my teammates are responsible for killing him, it's annoying because even if you kill him but your teammates don't, he becomes a very annoying pest for one being a tank.

Lol this comment section tells me a lot of you dont know how to play the game without an easy hero. Cyx can pick up any hero and destroy, but hog’s his favorite. Most of you were only decent at the game cuz hog was broken 😂
If he can't one shot a single target, heck it. Let him hook multiple people right? Not like any of you will die anyway, so just make him hard cc focused. That'll be fun. Why the heck not, right?
Love the comments in the chat being like "hog bad now" because he can't one shot practically everyone in the game without even trying. Bro, are you for real?
They took so much power out of hog's shots and hook which they should have then put into his ult. More opportunity for hog to secure kills without his one-shot being so oppressive. Bada-bing bada-boom.
They can nerf Hog, but they can't nerf Cyx
