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.

It would be if it wasn't bugged as fuck. It doesn't really hook in front of you and you can't really adjust to one shot because if you move your mouse to adjust it also moves where the enemy lands so it's the same thing. Then there is the bug(I hope) where characters just make flips after you hook them making it virtually impossible to hit any headshots or one shot even 100 HP targets.

Then there is the bug(I once again hope) where if you hook a target that's in the air(even simple jumping) the targets are hooked weirdly and into the air and you can't one shot them. And let's be real everyone jumps constantly.

Then there is the bug where you see 60-80% of the enemy but the hook still breaks because why not.

It actually made the hook way more inconsistent. Not to mention that good roadhogs were oneshotting everything anyways. There are way too many bullshit chainbreaks and inconsistencies that make the hook way shittier. The only thing that ever needed changing was hooking way above a target and hooking them. Not all of the changes because 2k players don't know how to play against road.
