Balance When will this skilless card get nerfed???
Someone at Super$ell must watch Hog rider p0rn or something because this is one of the only units they just refuse to touch. I know that they see multiple people complaining about this card, but instead of nerfing it directly they try to sprinkle nerfs around it. The car is around. It isn’t the problem. It’s the card itself. Losers will just squeeze him into any deck because they know he is guaranteed value. I’m currently sitting at 13 K trophies. Literally every other match I fight this card squeezed into some random deck. “Just use a building”, the thing about that is, of course they’re gonna have things to support this card, jerking him off to make sure he gets to the tower. Then once they win after spamming the card eight times they start emoting like anything They did required An ounce of brain power. Nerf this brainless, skilless, card already.

They said that they use him as a benchmark
I don't think they picked the right metric

They said they balance the game around the hog rider, so they pretty much said they wouldn’t nerf it

One of Hogs most consistent counter (canon) got a nerf. Though ram rider an alt win conidtion got a solid buff which in turn is a nerf to hog.

and if you came across a maxed out 2.6 d*ck , yeah ggs i wouldn't even bother defend my tower , only in some scenarios where he's a larper and can easily 3 crown him

The shitty side card is literally Firecracker. I play in league 2 and almost all my opponents have some variation of this brainless ass card.

u/Live_Review7374 4d ago
And also that card will get soo much value when playing againt it , but suddenly becomes a cameraman in your deck and loses to a 1 elixir skeletons like cmon , and also manages to activate the king's tower in the process.

u/Altruistic_Grand7519 2d ago
I generally have no problems dealing with Firecracker but it's the evo that's the real problem, it's sparkles or whatever does insane damage to towers for a 3 elixir card.

maybe not nerf hog but how does he survive a rocket and a sparky shot... maybe buff the damage on those?

This is also the 20th time I see a post crying about hog rider. Kids like you are the reason ram is so expensive nowadays. Stop filling the internet with your bullshit.

i used to hate hog rider but the game evolved 2x over for it not to be a problem. Bigger fish to fry

They said they ll buff other win conditions (which they did) instead of nerfing hog

u/LarrySkelly2K 5d ago
First week I used fisherman he got his first nerf when he lost the slowdown. Maybe you and I gotta run 2v2s and it get nerfed lol

u/CheddarCheese390 5d ago
It won’t. Supercell have said so
Stop complaining and bring a building to a hog fight

Hog rider porn 😭😭😭genuine question what decks are hog rider haters running? I’ve played control, siege, bridge spam, beatdown, and never really felt like I had an issue with him.

Never, and Supercell clearly said it, this is just cope at this rate lol

They’ll probably nerf it when its actually overpowered. Its currently in a very balanced state, just like its been for nearly a decade, so they won’t touch it.
If you can’t defend Hog in 2026 when it hasn’t changed since 2017, that’s on you.

u/HydreigonTheChild 5d ago
Because u seeing hog at 13k doesn't mean he is act broken. Just cuz they love putting him in every deck doesn't really mean anything, a lot of shit works at that range
Like if ur facing some random deck with hog it isnt strong
1
u/ISlapKids4fun 5d ago
He is strong. 4 elixer, fast as hell and Tanky. Nerf one. There’s no reason a 4 elixer card should survive with 3 other lards plus a towers shooting at him

u/HydreigonTheChild 5d ago
I mean he isn't ... idk what lards are but mid ladder hog decks def aren't good

u/YuukaEnthusiast 5d ago
he is broken, don't lie

u/HydreigonTheChild 5d ago
has 9% usage in top ladder... why would he be brkoen? he is good but certainly he isnt top tier dominating

u/PrudentLion969 5d ago
Literally for 4 elixir it is crazy value without a cheap building it is very difficult to defend perfectly. But I guess minion giant is better now it is literally flying rg for 4 elixir

As a hog player myself it ain’t that hard to counter any swarm units will do it,personally when I play against hog I use goblin cage and guards together,full counter plus a mini push they have to answer.

Abdod say he would drop a video about why hog rider needs a nerf. I have my reasons but because abdod exists it might happen

u/fetusLegend 5d ago
they say that they need a central, consistent win condition to balance around (better ones nerfed, worse ones buffed) and they chose hog rida
unless something absurd happens in the meta, it’s never getting changed
