Hog 2.6 has 68% winrate at 6K trophies and 51% at 14K - the deck isn't dead, it just stops working at the top
I broke down Hog 2.6 winrate by trophy range across 191K battles this week and wanted to share because nobody seems to track this.
At 5.7K trophies the deck hits 67.8% winrate. By 13.7K it's down to 51.4%. A 16-point drop across the trophy ladder, which feels huge for one of the most iconic decks in the game.
My theory: at top ladder everyone has perfect muscle memory for the matchup, so every small placement mistake gets punished. At mid ladder opponents haven't seen it enough. Curious if this matches your experience playing it.
