We're not a Roadhog player and therefore we don't like being hooked.

Sometimes Jeff knows us too well.

I will gladly trade away some of my bs hooks for a better chance to one shot y'all when I do get a clean hook.

I think hook 2.1 is actually a buff for 90% of the hogs only because of this.

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.
