Second most wanted OWCs/owl skin behind his New York Excelsior :D

Wanted to wait a bit before i gave you guys my 2 cents on it but i feel like the rework has significantly shifted the balance of power away from hog and more towards ram.

1. less breather power means staff spam works better against him

2. the new hog left click means you can live a ton more burst damage (most of the damage is concentrated in that 1 pellet in the middle so if you avoid it, the armor takes care of the rest)

3. his new eat ability means you can just sit there punching him in form (he cannot eat pummels)

4. the distance nerf where you are now 4.5 meters away from him after getting hooked means he cant easily hook you into bad spots or do that much damage to you (your head hitbox is kinda small)

5. his main threats now are just hooking you (disrupts what you're trying to do) and whole hog. Gone are the days of constantly losing 400 hp cuz you got hooked.

the main stratagems i've found now are just staff spam and punching him. you dont need to play hide and seek with him as much now. just watch out for environmental death hooks. otherwise, good shield use and evasive moves means you dont need to hard focus on hook anymore.

Probably shoulda dropped earlier at the end but ah well. Still won tho!!
