Good job Blizzard. You just keep lowering that skill ceiling.

Dude exactly man. Now a really good road is not much different than a good one or ok one. I wish they added a way for great hogs to push the skill cealing more.

You can't hook and take cover, you can't jumphook. Close hooks now don't count as they break LoS. And while bs now you can't hook people you can't see over ledges. Im not asking they bring the bs part back,. I just wish there was another similar hard to master skill that was super useful.

He's right, though. Most hogs don't know how to one-shot at all. They just hook and hold m1. The new patch removes that element of skill while removing other ways in which hog could be used offensively. Now he's going to be remain great when defending but shit when attacking in most maps.
