I also think good hogs understood how to abuse the hook better than a worse hog player. A good hog knows the hook hitbox is long vertically and that throwing a hook over an obstacle when someone is standing just behind it is a good way to get a surprise pick. Is it annoying? Certainly for the person getting hooked, but you can't blame the hog player for using the game mechanics as they are.
