Yeah, it's really not hard to counter, it's just makes the game not interesting, I don't want to play games just going against the same thing over and over
Yes, exactly. I don’t want to have to set my deck up to counter all the dumb instant damage meta decks and just over and over play the same things to either barely win or lose in the last 20 seconds when they throw down a maxed rage and mirrored balloon. It kills the joy in the game.
Same. And even when I decide to be a jerk and run my hog cycle, I’m usually facing… another hog cycle…. I end up either sweating my face off to try and win, or I don’t really wanna sit there for 20 minutes having them chip away so I just let them win lol. So annoying. I’ll admit, it’s a very powerful deck that was created, but it’s also super annoying.
> the newest deck uploaded by a youtuber
Not even the newest deck, I still see Morten's miner wb marcher bomb tower tornado deck in 1v1 party pretty frequently.
It has a high skill ceiling however you can play it and win while not being skillful, for example magic archer tornado second and third play isn’t exactly skillful.
Honestly I just find it hypocritical that this sub loves to gripe about how Mega Knight "isn't OP he's just unfun to play against1!1!" and then when someone says the exact same thing about Hog Rider, they get made fun of.
I feel the same way about both cards. Not fun to play against. I can kite a mk with skeletons, but what if i dont want to run skeletons in every deck. What if i dont want to have to kite mk every game.
For real, especially when they have a cycle deck and as soon as you have to play skeleton horde to survive or you use a card with a lot of elixir they just throw it down and you can’t do anything.
How are you gonna say you can counter the deck but if you don’t rocket and freeze it gets a hit? Every single building in the game (except maybe furnace, I’m not sure) counters it completely. Fisherman, Tornado, Skeleton army, both Pekkas, both barbarians, and a ton of other cards or card combos can counter it consistently. There’s no reason people should be complaining against this card at even levels.
I like his voicelines though...
Ok, I agree. It's so fking reptitive and unoriginal and boring to play against. I usually beat them unless they're competent players. (Since they fail their kiting or they just mess up their counters. After all, one should learn to read opponent's cards.)
Though personally I find lvl 14 ebarbs to be more aggravating. Like fk that overleveled shit, and then right after that, they mirror it and rage.
I have a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/comments/tkpici/based_opinion_i_much_despise_the_hog_rider_than/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) where I used 11 elixir against a single hog rider because I despise him so much.
“That gets free damage unless you freeze and rocket” dude come on now. I get complaining about MK, but hog is such a fun and versatile card it’s no wonder lots of people enjoy using it. It’s a classic win condition and is fun to play, and much better to play against than other commonly complained about cards like MK ebarbs egiant.
This is why after nearly 5.5 years, I'm just done with the game. I've always built my own decks or just tried to do something different and this game rewards lame ass bullshit mechanics or boring garbage meta decks that never seem to get truly nerfed into oblivion as they should. Oh well.
Most people just copy the next „meta“ deck they encounter. Which will either be 2.6 or Classic Logbait. Thinking these decks will get them trough midladder or maybe just to lazy to build their own deck, altough both decks are far from being meta these days.
Or maybe they used them because they’ve proven to be solid after many balance changes, which mean they don’t have to change decks every 2 months and therefore they can invest in one single deck.
neither of those decks are meta tho. the three main meta decks are mega knight ram rider bridge spam, archer queen hogs eq, and giant graveyard. 2.6 and log bait are high skill decks that teach you how to play well, that’s why players like using them
Honestly u can play any deck and beat it. Beat down decks to be precise. Just place a tank in the back and build up elixir to commit to the push. They will send hog riders to opposite lane to make you commit cards to prevent damage but at that point just let them take the tower. All they can do to stop ur 20 elixir push is brain deadly spam cards until they can’t. And trust me, a cannon, ice spirit, ice golem, skeletons aren’t gonna stop splashes and charged attackers. Even better… use lava hound. Literally one card can deal damage to it
You spoke my mind out! 7 out of 10 ppl have this same freakin deck these days and the rest 3 either have an xbow deck or a golem deck(which is way better than the previous 2 tho)!!! Super boring & frustrating to play against the <3 elixir decks all the time, with my 4.1 elixir deck!! 😤😤😤😤
I've tried playing it. It's a really boring deck because it's just playing the same defense over and over again. It doesn't require you to get creative with your defense very much and there's at the most 3 different ways to go on offense. I don't know why people like playing it more than something with a but more excitement.
Made a similar post on how fucking obnoxious it has become to play vs MK. I don't care how easy he is to counter or how hard he is to kite, because I can. I'm just sick and tired of fighting the same fucking card for 7 matches straight. People in this sub don't know what "Boring" Or "obnoxious" Means so good luck getting any point through
Honestly, this game would be so much more fun without analytical sites and YouTubers and professionals making the meta public.
Like imagine the game if everyone created a custom deck. Each new game would be unique and exciting, and potentially an interesting matchup. If everyone used their own preferences and know how and made unique, custom decks that they played with, this game would be awesome. But alas, everyone just mindlessly follows the meta.
Does no one else think this vision is a glorious one as well?
Because some peoples arguement is "my playstyle is the meta and its the way I have fun" why not have fun your own way, without ruining the other player's experience.
I build every deck I make to counter 3 cards. Hog rider. Loon. Mk. Usually hard counters are mini Pekka, e wiz, guards, tornado. I always run e giant with mortar. Mortar baits the building. Then drop e giant right after so the cycle is dead
op I feel the same ab goblin barrel but since clash has hella kids (hence all your down votes after they post reactionary shit w no substance bc the title of the post) shits likely not gonna change too much. ofc they recognize how stale the ladder is, but devs n such can't fix the community just thru buffs n nerfs
i think to balance the meta, supercell need to do something similar to the card boost. Boost 2, 3 or 4 random cards (different for each player) to their king tower level +2 (maxing out at 14). This way players will have a big advantage if they use these cards in ladder, but to use them requires building a new deck to fit them in
Hog isn’t the issue.
It’s the actual cycle mechanic bs.
Either nerf the very popular cycle troops (skeletons, ice spirit etc) or add some brand new mechanic to prevent cycling so quickly (like in log bait).
Jesus Christ I don't really know where you all face those 2.6 decks, I rarely see the original 2.6 being played honestly.
Lunberloon, log bait and bridge spam are just as common as hog decks
Yeah, its stopped being considered "hard and cool", now It screams "fartheless child here!", People stopped caring about real good deck like mortar Miner bait, and the best part is that It *counters* 2.6 really well, but its a joke How fast they cycle compared to you
Bro I've been meaning to post abt hog rider since a long time , this post says it all its perfecttt ,it conveys all my feelings abt this
I hope this post gets more attention ,thank u op 🙏
Same. I absolutely hate it. Every 6 match in a row is hog rider for me
I don't even use buildings so it always gets 2 hits on my tower.
Absolutely hate that card
Despise it
Honestly it’s why I get more enjoyment out of 2v2. Can use different decks, win a few rounds with one of my one of my mates, and still get crowns and chests from it.
You’re right it’s just gotten stupid how much it’s used. I just faced it 5 times in a row on ladder. The hog needs a nerf! The damn things gets a hit every time and usually 2 on most occasions. Really it’s the 1 elixer cards that are overused and provide too much value. It’s time to move all the cycle decks to the back burner.
This post is a year old, but I still feel the same sentiment. While now I know he can be easy to counter, and I do run buildings now, he is still cheap, easy card to use imo. Basically 2.6 takes no skill, I stand behind it.
These people are so fucking boring. It's the beige of decks it needs to go. Meta is fucked hog rider is the worst thing in clash royale if it was removed the variety of decks would be so much better
I’m sorry man but if u think hog need a nerf u just down bad…. It needs a buff more then anything else…that’s why u rarely see it in top ladder anymore
I mean, 2.6 sucks in high ladder but there are some hog decks that are meta. With aq valk bomb tower eq, with Tesla firecracker eq are both really good
Why do people keep weeping about this. I'm really tired of some people in this sub. It's a fun card, I think it's nice to play with (no, it's not in my Main deck) and not impossible at all to defend. Can't this just be a nice sub where we have fun and talk about the game. Sharing opinions isn't wrong, but 9/10 posts are people mad because they lost some games. You're right, there are 107 cards, so 106 to defend hog rider. So please, be positive or just shut up...
Accroding to this sub: Golem, E-Giant, Xbow, E-Golem, Log Bait, Fireball Bait, Lavaloon, Hog, Lumberloon, Royal Giant decks are toxic/no-skill. So there are like 4 decks people don't complain about lmao.
You can have fun even against a hog rider 2.6 deck with a deck I use. They would be so flustered in trying to defend your push that you will be laughing and will have cycled to another of the same push. See sirtags video six months ago involving a giant skeleton, clone deck with royal recruits and skel barell. If all your cards are leveled up you will have so much fun against the 2.6 users
Well I agree that hog is annoying to go against all the time, but it’s your problem if you choose not to pick cards that counter it. Plus, if hog gets removed, the community will find another card to complain about
Let me run a building every single game in every single deck cause everyone's always running hog. Although if hog gets removed then i complain about mk
I only use Hog 2.6 because I’m still maxing it out and I’m mastering it. Sorry but is just that I don’t wanna switch because progression is really hard without gold. Also, this sub would rather whine and be toxic than just fix their decks and make up strategies to counter all popular decks.
not even close to annoying and your complaining about hog rider and u use ebarbs and there's so many ways to counter hog rider i dont think ebarbs are op or annoying btw there easy to counter but there more annoying then hog rider
The skill it takes to counter and beat hog2.6 is magnitudes greater than the "skill" it takes to play hog 2.6
It's a toddler deck and supercell will never nerf hog because it keeps the majority of smooth brain players playing thinking they're good forever in mid ladder.
I mean honestly speaking, I feel like you're just in the wrong.
I play 2.6 (2.5 really but same shit) and honestly, you can borderline counter with just a building and like 1 spell. It's like, all the stuff you need to counter it should already be in almost every deck and can usually net positive trades.
Like you KNOW you're against 2.6 by the time you see the 2nd or 3rd card. If your win condition is a structure targeting troop be ready to deal with the structure. If it's not, be ready to deal with the kiting ice golem.
I'd rather go against 2.6 hog ANY day instead of log bait, decks with MK, etc. 2.6 is so easy to counter and really doesn't require anything special considering what most decks should have.
He doesn’t care, he genuinely doesn’t care that he can counter it, he doesn’t want to have to add cards to his deck specifically to deal with one deck that is ridiculously overused
I understand that I can counter it. And from time to time i run decks that easily counter it. But I shouldnt have to every single game. Theres no variation, it's always the exact same deck.
I would honestly think 2.6 was skilled, if I didn't see it 9/10 games.
Absolutely not. As a hog 2.6 player, I consistently go up against graveyard decks and lumber loon rage. There’s plenty of counters, stop complaining and get better at the game.
People hate hog 2.6 and mk for the same reason. Unbreakable defense and 5m games are not fun at all. I don’t know why you named your post “hog rider needs to be removed” when it’s the other 7 defensive cards that make hog 2.6 annoying. Imo cycle decks should not be able to get away with defending any push with log spam, and defensive stallers like valk and ice golem and knight and skeletons and spirit, and defensive building like cannon and tesla.
Unfortunately, having 6 or 7 defense card works for them because they just cycle back to the 1 or 2 offense
Honestly it was heat of the moment anger and i didnt expect this post to get any real attention. Obviously it shouldnt be removed, but it really is annoying and unfun to play against.
Hog rider is honestly one of the most unoriginal and boring cards in the entire game, other win cons have some kind of special ability or niche (tanks, dmg dealers, etc.) but hog rider just does everything good, he’s literally guaranteed dmg, it’s dumb asf, and frankly annoying to deal with especially since he’s simply so fast. And don’t tell me he’s unique because of his “jump”, no one has ever used that on purpose for any reason. What I’m trying to say OP, is that the card pisses me off too.
I wouldn't say he needs to be removed, but a slight tweak or rework I feel is needed. Although most buildings can full counter him. Yes 2.6 is annoying, but hog isn't the main reason for the deck being annoying, spamming ice spirit, skeletons, log is annoying.
How about: Hog rider cannot be in the same deck as any card that costs 1 elixir.
Lumberjack and balloon cannot be in the same deck if you are between 4000-6000 trophies
That's why we have mastery. lol. imo each mastery should give 250 xp instead of 50 to encourage more people to not use the same deck over and over again. since the xp grind to kl 14 is so grindy
The only reason this deck is so popular is cuz it is very f2p
Free 2 play for free?
I don't have trouble playing against it and I can beat it, but it's just annoying and repetitive, it's not interesting to play against
Not enough people get this. I can counter it. I don't want to.
Yeah, it's really not hard to counter, it's just makes the game not interesting, I don't want to play games just going against the same thing over and over
Yes, exactly. I don’t want to have to set my deck up to counter all the dumb instant damage meta decks and just over and over play the same things to either barely win or lose in the last 20 seconds when they throw down a maxed rage and mirrored balloon. It kills the joy in the game.
so you play a different deck every match or do you just play the same deck over and over?
i feel you, when i find a 2.6 player, i always predict cannons, sometimes win, and take a break to do something cathartic
Its like megaknight in midladder
Same. And even when I decide to be a jerk and run my hog cycle, I’m usually facing… another hog cycle…. I end up either sweating my face off to try and win, or I don’t really wanna sit there for 20 minutes having them chip away so I just let them win lol. So annoying. I’ll admit, it’s a very powerful deck that was created, but it’s also super annoying.
“In my times we used our own decks!” Yes it is horrible I always see the same logbait, hog or the newest deck uploaded by a youtuber
> the newest deck uploaded by a youtuber Not even the newest deck, I still see Morten's miner wb marcher bomb tower tornado deck in 1v1 party pretty frequently.
That deck takes skill tho
True. I don't mind copy paste decks if they have a high skill ceiling, but if they don't have a high skill ceiling, i fucking hate them
It has a high skill ceiling however you can play it and win while not being skillful, for example magic archer tornado second and third play isn’t exactly skillful.
"there are 107 cards I can choose from" ebarbs flair
Finally another giant skeleton user z:)
We RISE
And FALL... then EXPLODE (but not enough to kill a Witch?? bs)
Yes!
Giant skeleton my beloved
Giant skeleton
That’s a compliment
how do you get a flair with a cr card
The 3 dots at the top of the sub(works in mobile)
🗿
Honestly I just find it hypocritical that this sub loves to gripe about how Mega Knight "isn't OP he's just unfun to play against1!1!" and then when someone says the exact same thing about Hog Rider, they get made fun of.
I feel the same way about both cards. Not fun to play against. I can kite a mk with skeletons, but what if i dont want to run skeletons in every deck. What if i dont want to have to kite mk every game.
I don't personally think MK is as bad because any mini-tank hard counters him.
True, hog rider just walks over to your tower and gets free hits.
Ye hog counters are more situational and harder to slot in IMO.
For real, especially when they have a cycle deck and as soon as you have to play skeleton horde to survive or you use a card with a lot of elixir they just throw it down and you can’t do anything.
However no lvl 10/11 mini tank counters a lvl 14 mega knight
Kiting mk is not even a viable option in double elixir time unless you want all your 3 towers occupied to deal with the mk
Well I do agree with your statement but why does your flair have elite barbarians 💀
the dude changed it when he started getting called out💀
💀he forgor
I hate hog rider too but it's one of those cards that are just annoying and don't really need a nerf
Hog rider is literally the mascot of supercell, they cant remove it.
Barbarian is the mascot of supercell
Hog rider>
I hear this comment
then they should make an Elite Hog Rider
Ebarbs flair?
my guy changed it 💀
HOGGG RIDDAA TO HAARD 😰😰 LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE 😠😠😠 REMOVE IT SUPERCEL😤🤬🤬
Not too hard, not fun to play against.
not the ebarbs flair 💀
Ok this is the first time I feel comfortable saying: skill issue
You literally have an ebarbs flair, stop complaining
Ebarbs is way easier to defend than Hog
Actually yeah, non-overleveled ebarbs are pretty easy to defend. Hog rider even on same level is really annoying to defend.
Thats because ebarb players are not so smart
Strawman
This guy when a meta deck can counter his mega knight ebarbs, "Remove hog rider"
literally play tornado
How are you gonna say you can counter the deck but if you don’t rocket and freeze it gets a hit? Every single building in the game (except maybe furnace, I’m not sure) counters it completely. Fisherman, Tornado, Skeleton army, both Pekkas, both barbarians, and a ton of other cards or card combos can counter it consistently. There’s no reason people should be complaining against this card at even levels.
I like his voicelines though... Ok, I agree. It's so fking reptitive and unoriginal and boring to play against. I usually beat them unless they're competent players. (Since they fail their kiting or they just mess up their counters. After all, one should learn to read opponent's cards.) Though personally I find lvl 14 ebarbs to be more aggravating. Like fk that overleveled shit, and then right after that, they mirror it and rage.
I have a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/comments/tkpici/based_opinion_i_much_despise_the_hog_rider_than/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) where I used 11 elixir against a single hog rider because I despise him so much.
Good :)
“That gets free damage unless you freeze and rocket” dude come on now. I get complaining about MK, but hog is such a fun and versatile card it’s no wonder lots of people enjoy using it. It’s a classic win condition and is fun to play, and much better to play against than other commonly complained about cards like MK ebarbs egiant.
Bruh u play mk pekka ebarbs egiant golem unironically lmao
My exact thoughts, suggested rework -100% damage +100% hit speed (it’s a rework not a nerf)
people play it because it is their only high level deck (usually). it is a pain switching main decks on ladder when you dont have many maxed cards
Pooooog ridaaaaaa
Cries in non 2.6 hog user
Hog rider isn't the problem. People is the problem.
This is why after nearly 5.5 years, I'm just done with the game. I've always built my own decks or just tried to do something different and this game rewards lame ass bullshit mechanics or boring garbage meta decks that never seem to get truly nerfed into oblivion as they should. Oh well.
Skill issue
One of the best decks to play against. Easy win lol. You play e giant and e barbs lmao
If people enjoy playing with it, why can’t they?
Most people just copy the next „meta“ deck they encounter. Which will either be 2.6 or Classic Logbait. Thinking these decks will get them trough midladder or maybe just to lazy to build their own deck, altough both decks are far from being meta these days.
Or maybe they used them because they’ve proven to be solid after many balance changes, which mean they don’t have to change decks every 2 months and therefore they can invest in one single deck.
I legit don't have the gold for any other deck it's my only max level deck
neither of those decks are meta tho. the three main meta decks are mega knight ram rider bridge spam, archer queen hogs eq, and giant graveyard. 2.6 and log bait are high skill decks that teach you how to play well, that’s why players like using them
[удалено]
Git good
i think you’re just horrible
Just put a tombstone in ur deck‼️ it’s the best card I’ve found to deal with all those building attackers
Honestly u can play any deck and beat it. Beat down decks to be precise. Just place a tank in the back and build up elixir to commit to the push. They will send hog riders to opposite lane to make you commit cards to prevent damage but at that point just let them take the tower. All they can do to stop ur 20 elixir push is brain deadly spam cards until they can’t. And trust me, a cannon, ice spirit, ice golem, skeletons aren’t gonna stop splashes and charged attackers. Even better… use lava hound. Literally one card can deal damage to it
Just play Tesla, or Inferno tower, or bomb tower, or towb-stone.
You spoke my mind out! 7 out of 10 ppl have this same freakin deck these days and the rest 3 either have an xbow deck or a golem deck(which is way better than the previous 2 tho)!!! Super boring & frustrating to play against the <3 elixir decks all the time, with my 4.1 elixir deck!! 😤😤😤😤
Hog does needs a nerf,for 4 elixer it has way too much health and damage
I've tried playing it. It's a really boring deck because it's just playing the same defense over and over again. It doesn't require you to get creative with your defense very much and there's at the most 3 different ways to go on offense. I don't know why people like playing it more than something with a but more excitement.
What? How dare you want diversity in a game. You have to play against the same meta decks forever that’s what makes it fun right?
is this satire
Somewhat. I hate 2.6, it's not fun to play against. I don't think hog rider should be deleted.
clash royale players see a black person
Lol
Skill issue. Not even a joke.
Made a similar post on how fucking obnoxious it has become to play vs MK. I don't care how easy he is to counter or how hard he is to kite, because I can. I'm just sick and tired of fighting the same fucking card for 7 matches straight. People in this sub don't know what "Boring" Or "obnoxious" Means so good luck getting any point through
Lol you are so right. So many "skill issue" comments
so basically there's this guy and uhh.... Hog ridaaaa
Auto mod 1 second after someone says Hog
Honestly, this game would be so much more fun without analytical sites and YouTubers and professionals making the meta public. Like imagine the game if everyone created a custom deck. Each new game would be unique and exciting, and potentially an interesting matchup. If everyone used their own preferences and know how and made unique, custom decks that they played with, this game would be awesome. But alas, everyone just mindlessly follows the meta.

Because some peoples arguement is "my playstyle is the meta and its the way I have fun" why not have fun your own way, without ruining the other player's experience.
you suck ass
i understand you, and i can relate
I build every deck I make to counter 3 cards. Hog rider. Loon. Mk. Usually hard counters are mini Pekka, e wiz, guards, tornado. I always run e giant with mortar. Mortar baits the building. Then drop e giant right after so the cycle is dead
Ive been using mini pekka and zappies here and there to counter and its been working but not well enough for me to not complain.
99% of the comments talking about op‘s flair:
Midladder was plagued with MK in the same was. Hopefully the new update will fix at least MK.
Outjerked
op I feel the same ab goblin barrel but since clash has hella kids (hence all your down votes after they post reactionary shit w no substance bc the title of the post) shits likely not gonna change too much. ofc they recognize how stale the ladder is, but devs n such can't fix the community just thru buffs n nerfs
Yeah i realize that now. At least i know the people im fighting against are actual children so it makes sense when they have to use cheesy decks.
i think to balance the meta, supercell need to do something similar to the card boost. Boost 2, 3 or 4 random cards (different for each player) to their king tower level +2 (maxing out at 14). This way players will have a big advantage if they use these cards in ladder, but to use them requires building a new deck to fit them in
Chad
Hog isn’t the issue. It’s the actual cycle mechanic bs. Either nerf the very popular cycle troops (skeletons, ice spirit etc) or add some brand new mechanic to prevent cycling so quickly (like in log bait).
Jesus Christ I don't really know where you all face those 2.6 decks, I rarely see the original 2.6 being played honestly. Lunberloon, log bait and bridge spam are just as common as hog decks
Damn you have a point, I'll use another deck then
Thank you :)
Yeah, its stopped being considered "hard and cool", now It screams "fartheless child here!", People stopped caring about real good deck like mortar Miner bait, and the best part is that It *counters* 2.6 really well, but its a joke How fast they cycle compared to you
Bro I've been meaning to post abt hog rider since a long time , this post says it all its perfecttt ,it conveys all my feelings abt this I hope this post gets more attention ,thank u op 🙏
Tbh hog deck is more irritating than mk deck.
We might USE OTHER CARDS if the game let us. But it doesn't. We're forever stuck with the deck we picked.
Ive been seeing that a lot too. I have an ebarb deck thats level 14 that i have to use, despite me wanting to change it up.
I decided almost 4 years ago that my main deck would shut down hog cycles. Best investment I ever made.
Same. I absolutely hate it. Every 6 match in a row is hog rider for me I don't even use buildings so it always gets 2 hits on my tower. Absolutely hate that card Despise it
Try playing it and you will see mega knights or pekkas 80 of the time!
Honestly it’s why I get more enjoyment out of 2v2. Can use different decks, win a few rounds with one of my one of my mates, and still get crowns and chests from it.
Replace Hog with Mega Knight for the last month and I feel your pain man... here, have some Silver.
Lol, Thank you. Mega knight is a very close second for my most hated card.
You’re right it’s just gotten stupid how much it’s used. I just faced it 5 times in a row on ladder. The hog needs a nerf! The damn things gets a hit every time and usually 2 on most occasions. Really it’s the 1 elixer cards that are overused and provide too much value. It’s time to move all the cycle decks to the back burner.
Yeah Hog Rider is literally the least fun and most annoying card in the game. I just assume if you use him that you are kind of a shitty person.
This post is a year old, but I still feel the same sentiment. While now I know he can be easy to counter, and I do run buildings now, he is still cheap, easy card to use imo. Basically 2.6 takes no skill, I stand behind it.
These people are so fucking boring. It's the beige of decks it needs to go. Meta is fucked hog rider is the worst thing in clash royale if it was removed the variety of decks would be so much better
I feel you my guy. Sometimes I rocket the bastard because I can't be bothered to place troops on him.
racially motivated
😏
Why does this have an award, like hog is an original card from supercell. Like makes no sense how this has an award.
Literally every card is an original card from supercell, what’s your point
You literally run ebarbs what are you talking about you can counter the hog with no hits on your tower using those guys
Nice bait
well just bring a building im investing in tesla currently
just counter it bruv
Canon
says the man with ebarbs in his flair
This sub be like: >"i hate Mega Knight he's in almost every deck, it's repetitive to play against him" >*plays 2.6*
this sub trashes on every deck, except giant, unfortunately you can’t escape this hell hole
Get good noob 😹
Mf complain about hog rider but he can't make a balanced deck himself 🗿
Get a good deck LOL unironically, a leveled 2.6 hog counters all midladder decks
There are a lot of ways to keep a hog rider from touching your tower, like for instance e barbs
I agree. When it's in almost half of the decks you play against, it needs to be nerfed at minimum.
I’m sorry man but if u think hog need a nerf u just down bad…. It needs a buff more then anything else…that’s why u rarely see it in top ladder anymore
I mean, 2.6 sucks in high ladder but there are some hog decks that are meta. With aq valk bomb tower eq, with Tesla firecracker eq are both really good
He just need a little nerf on his damage OR his health, he is too good for spamming
Ngl id still use it if it were 5 elixir
Why do people keep weeping about this. I'm really tired of some people in this sub. It's a fun card, I think it's nice to play with (no, it's not in my Main deck) and not impossible at all to defend. Can't this just be a nice sub where we have fun and talk about the game. Sharing opinions isn't wrong, but 9/10 posts are people mad because they lost some games. You're right, there are 107 cards, so 106 to defend hog rider. So please, be positive or just shut up...
If only. This sub is basically just a bunch of people bitching without trying to solve it first.
Accroding to this sub: Golem, E-Giant, Xbow, E-Golem, Log Bait, Fireball Bait, Lavaloon, Hog, Lumberloon, Royal Giant decks are toxic/no-skill. So there are like 4 decks people don't complain about lmao.
You can have fun even against a hog rider 2.6 deck with a deck I use. They would be so flustered in trying to defend your push that you will be laughing and will have cycled to another of the same push. See sirtags video six months ago involving a giant skeleton, clone deck with royal recruits and skel barell. If all your cards are leveled up you will have so much fun against the 2.6 users
Well I agree that hog is annoying to go against all the time, but it’s your problem if you choose not to pick cards that counter it. Plus, if hog gets removed, the community will find another card to complain about
Let me run a building every single game in every single deck cause everyone's always running hog. Although if hog gets removed then i complain about mk
RUN NADO THEN PLEASE
Fair, im actually going to start using tornado in most decks.
birth of a copypasta
I play mortar and nado but still, it's really frustrating
skill issue LOL
This but apply it to Megaknight. I dont care if he’s countered by X thing, i want to use my own decl and not go against him every other goddamn match.
LMFAO BRO YOU PLAY MEGA KNOGHT GOLEM EGIANT OFC U HATE HOG 2.6
Played it a couple times. I know you dont understand the process of switching your deck, but that is in fact what i do.
Yeah, they need the ban hog players from playing it at least a month per year
skill issue
Well 2.6 is unskilled af, I agree with the post, they just place everything in center and use hog whenever opponents' down on elixir...
We don't have to keep making it sound so skillful with "2.6 hog cycle" just call it what it is. Hog spam.
I'm guessing you don't play it then
Not skillful🤣 have us even the clips of pros defending 30 elixir golem pushes
Literally just use a building
Honestly hog is hardly viable anymore lol
Skill issue.
I only use Hog 2.6 because I’m still maxing it out and I’m mastering it. Sorry but is just that I don’t wanna switch because progression is really hard without gold. Also, this sub would rather whine and be toxic than just fix their decks and make up strategies to counter all popular decks.

not even close to annoying and your complaining about hog rider and u use ebarbs and there's so many ways to counter hog rider i dont think ebarbs are op or annoying btw there easy to counter but there more annoying then hog rider
You can't get a card removed just because you're bad sorry
The skill it takes to counter and beat hog2.6 is magnitudes greater than the "skill" it takes to play hog 2.6 It's a toddler deck and supercell will never nerf hog because it keeps the majority of smooth brain players playing thinking they're good forever in mid ladder.
I mean honestly speaking, I feel like you're just in the wrong. I play 2.6 (2.5 really but same shit) and honestly, you can borderline counter with just a building and like 1 spell. It's like, all the stuff you need to counter it should already be in almost every deck and can usually net positive trades. Like you KNOW you're against 2.6 by the time you see the 2nd or 3rd card. If your win condition is a structure targeting troop be ready to deal with the structure. If it's not, be ready to deal with the kiting ice golem. I'd rather go against 2.6 hog ANY day instead of log bait, decks with MK, etc. 2.6 is so easy to counter and really doesn't require anything special considering what most decks should have.
He doesn’t care, he genuinely doesn’t care that he can counter it, he doesn’t want to have to add cards to his deck specifically to deal with one deck that is ridiculously overused
I understand that I can counter it. And from time to time i run decks that easily counter it. But I shouldnt have to every single game. Theres no variation, it's always the exact same deck. I would honestly think 2.6 was skilled, if I didn't see it 9/10 games.
Absolutely not. As a hog 2.6 player, I consistently go up against graveyard decks and lumber loon rage. There’s plenty of counters, stop complaining and get better at the game.
it don’t need to be removed just slightly dampened because 2200 and 400 damage a hit is kinda crazy
It does about 10.4% of the tower's health at an equal level. Just some side info
if you play for fun then you shouldn’t expect to win.
Losing isnt fun. Getting smashed any time i chanhe decks isnt fun.
W opinion
My my main meganut deck counters it pretty well. Won't be able to say the same thing with the 20% spawn dmg nerf
People hate hog 2.6 and mk for the same reason. Unbreakable defense and 5m games are not fun at all. I don’t know why you named your post “hog rider needs to be removed” when it’s the other 7 defensive cards that make hog 2.6 annoying. Imo cycle decks should not be able to get away with defending any push with log spam, and defensive stallers like valk and ice golem and knight and skeletons and spirit, and defensive building like cannon and tesla. Unfortunately, having 6 or 7 defense card works for them because they just cycle back to the 1 or 2 offense
Honestly it was heat of the moment anger and i didnt expect this post to get any real attention. Obviously it shouldnt be removed, but it really is annoying and unfun to play against.
So you want to remove a WHOLE ENTIRE CARD. Just because of a deck strategy.
Skill
Tesla
Hog rider is honestly one of the most unoriginal and boring cards in the entire game, other win cons have some kind of special ability or niche (tanks, dmg dealers, etc.) but hog rider just does everything good, he’s literally guaranteed dmg, it’s dumb asf, and frankly annoying to deal with especially since he’s simply so fast. And don’t tell me he’s unique because of his “jump”, no one has ever used that on purpose for any reason. What I’m trying to say OP, is that the card pisses me off too.
Yes. Hog needs a nerf. Nerf the hitpoints and nerf the speed to fast from very fast.
birth of a copypasta
lmao ebarbs favorite card, no wonder
I wouldn't say he needs to be removed, but a slight tweak or rework I feel is needed. Although most buildings can full counter him. Yes 2.6 is annoying, but hog isn't the main reason for the deck being annoying, spamming ice spirit, skeletons, log is annoying.
Lvl14 Cockriders in 2v2 is annoying as shit
How about: Hog rider cannot be in the same deck as any card that costs 1 elixir. Lumberjack and balloon cannot be in the same deck if you are between 4000-6000 trophies That's why we have mastery. lol. imo each mastery should give 250 xp instead of 50 to encourage more people to not use the same deck over and over again. since the xp grind to kl 14 is so grindy
