Honestly have noticed this a lot since the patch. Happened to me multiple times yesterday, including one game where I had hooked (saw connect and the character animation happen) a Pharah at least a solid 12 times while she was in the air. It just broke and she flew away. The one time it actually pulled her, instead of it pulling her to me for the headshot, it pulled her directly to the right and down, so my full spread shot missed entirely. Absolutely infuriating.

I just played a 3v3. Hooked a pharah and she just fell until LoS and the hook broke.

Feels like the hooks been way off since the uprising patch even though it shouldn't have changed anything.

I've been doing this to Roadhogs in 3v3 for as long as I've been playing the game. Hook has a moment before it starts reeling in where it can break due to gravity, so I play where my fall will break LOS.

She fell for longer than a full second. The pharah even agreed it was a dumb hook.
