as a 2.6 hog player myself i dont understand why the deck gets so much hate, in the current meta its a very unstable deck to use and literally a single mistake can cost you the entire game which usually happens in the first minute of the game where you accidentally cycle the wrong card and then instantly get starting handed then lose the game, and besides your deck is kinda rainbow bro
I never sht on the deck. I just showed a replay of me beating it. And you're right, it's not even that popular in this meta, but when it was, it was and still is hated on just because you could spam a whole bunch of cheap troops and defend a massive push and then cycle a hog repetitively, which pisses people off. The deck has been around for years, too, and people are fed up with it. Sure, the deck can require skill to use at times, but it doesn't change why a lot of people hate it. Also, I'm legit using PEKKA bridgespam with rage, if you don't like it, then good for you.
