too many counters? you mean too many soft counters. not even a ROCKET can hard counter it, by leaving it at a sliver of health. I mean sure you can use a building, but thats the only hard counter it has. Mega knight? hog lands a hit on tower, hunter? hog lands two hits on tower, mini pekka? hog lands one or two hits on tower.

Even if you are able to hard counter the hog with a card such as barbarians, it is a negative trade, sure it is a positive unit trade, because now that troop is going to counterpush, but the time it takes for that card to kill the hog, will be enough for the opponent to get enough elixir to counter your counterpush, so that trade will be for nothing. In conclusion, hog needs a health nerf.
