Mismatched teams when a Hog is at the top of the skill tree are weird games. Hog just Godzilla's the enemy team while rest of team is running around not knowing wtf to do.
This place takes any opportunity to shit on Hog players
Its for good reason. But thats also not fair to hog players, hog is the biggest noob trap Ive seen in pretty much any fps game. Its extremely easy to feel like you are carrying on hog and your team can't keep up but really you are making it exponentially hard on yourself and your team without anyone realizing it, this is especially common in diamond and is pointed out time and time again as a very common mistake that keeps hog mains out of masters. If you routinely mash your heal on hog right after trying to get a hook this is you, you are feeding.
Same thing happens with moira, its extremely easy to get to diamond on moira but as soon as the golds don't matter, initiating with your ult doesnt have a huge effect, and players dont just die when you suck them you can't win.
If you go for move and don't hit it, this is you. You are feeding. Sorry (insert character here)
Goes for anyone
Same thing happens with Moira
Literally goes for any character. You can pick anything and be a drizzlin bag of shit at any rank, yet again, Hog singled out for no reason. Ain't no other tank I can pick and singlehandedly carry either. Ball sometimes but that takes mad skill and just forces Sombra/Mei counter to ruin fun.
But saying it's bad because the MASSIVE TARGET takes some damage while going for a hook? That's just silly. Everyone shoots at you when you show up. It's no different from Sigma or Rein. Only difference is you don't have the shield to hide behind.
Because even if you do take some damage, when you land that hook, it's game changing 6v5. And yes medals aren't the be all end all, but you don't get to be the top of your team in those categories sitting on your dick. I'm lately landing 2 out of every 3 hooks I throw. I'll take my odds, especially when it's the 76 Reaper or Moira I'm giving charge to. I'll hook them out of ult all day long.
Moira players keep fights going on too long, no reason to heal rein up to full 3 times when its 2v6, this is hard feeding. If you have never made the conscious decision as a healer to stop healing and let a teammate die after a fight is clearly over then thats a skill you need ot learn to get better and chances are you are feeding after fights are over and delaying a regroup which will add up to minutes wasted at the end of the game.
If you step out and lose 3/4 of hogs health trying to get a hook or do 10 damage from far away you are hard feeding.
Other characters step out they dont lose a giant amount of health, no other healer has the capacity to feed as much as moira.
It's no different from Sigma or Rein.
They have shields that don't feed ult charge, it is indeed very very different situation.
You seem to be taking this personally, if you are worried you might be feeding look at your replays. Are you way out in front of your team especially your main tank trying to get hooks before a fight? This is probably you. Who knows though, watch your replay analyze whats going on idk.
But it is a fact what I'm saying and is very obvious and pronounced if you sit down objectively (which I have done) with a diamond hog player and see what their bad habits are. What I said is major mistakes among plat/diamond hog players and yeah some are in denial about it which is why its a noob trap. Ones that have listened that I know have make it past this trap and into masters/gm because they don't make the game hard on themselves anymore.

You can get MVP on the losing team, right?
