I had a stupid set of goggles for medic which I never play that looked stupid as hell and it had floating hearts on it for years and someone finally contacted me and offered 150 dollars out of the blue but then they just stole the hat.

I did at least enough research to see that the Market Value of the hat was indeed that much but I didn't bother checking the dude out. I had a proxy person who was familiar with Hat Trading helping me or something but she let me down.

I wasn't really sure what I was doing so I just thought you were supposed to trade on good faith or whatever so I told the guy my paypal address and gave him the hat and then he deleted the steam account after giving it to his real one. lol

hog counters virtually everything and if you miss with the hook you probably have a brain disease because it's such a bullshit hitbox lol

even the classes that counter him (pharrah, snipers, etc.) die in one hit to that stupid thing and every other tank can't fight him 1v1

I remember getting hooked with Lúcio in Ilios and I somehow used the Alt Fire a split second before he shot me and it threw him into the big hole and it was one of my biggest feels of relief in gaming I felt. Never managed to replicate that again though.

The gun gets in the way usually. Plus he probably came from Quake or something where you play with the gun off most the time as well. Though when I play it these days I put the gun on Ghost Mode so it's transparent grey cuz I like to see the model of the gun to make sure it's the right thing.
