When can we expect some sort of improvement towards Hound?

At this point. I'm sure the people at Kabam knows Hound is less than average compared to the rest of the warriors. Don't take my word for it. The majority of the community would agree as well. Some will defend Hound, no doubt. Saying you just need to know how to utilize him or somewhere along the lines. But no. Even when you use him the way he is intended to be used, your opponent would be long offline by then if you use any other warrior. So, my question is, with Kabam knowing he's not good. When can we expect some improvements made towards Hound? I would love to pair him with MV1 and Ironhide. He's meant be to apart of this group of bots. But the way he is now. Drift would be the best choice.

*In your opinion. I'm just voicing my thoughts out. It's entirely up to Kabam whether he actually needs an improvement or not. This thread and any other threads are just there for the Kabam staff to see. Nothing more. So be civilised and show some respect at times, will you? Thank you.
lmao shut up you crank. I'm voicing my thoughts out as well, and my thoughts are that you have no idea how to use Hound and he is absolutely fine as he is
So.. people can only voice their thoughts if they align with yours, otherwise they flagged? Lol.
Hound is fine. Learn to fight behind different playstyles. Not all bots are meant to be used in the traditional "pew-pew-dash in combo" cookie cutter routine.
That is ultimately for Kabam to decide. Not you. Learn to actually use proper English from time to time, with professionalism and respect. And from what I've seen. You have neither. Which implies the same behaviour in real life, towards the people you know. But I won't go into that any further. If you think Hound is fine, that's great. At least you'll be playing an absolutely average character while the rest of us who agress on him being underpowered knows what's best for ourselves. If you're so keen on Hound or Mixmaster. Please share a screenshot of you leveling up both to R5. Do it now so I'll believe your statement. I'll be waiting for your reply as well as your evidence of any kind. There are simply better options out there. I'm sure you'll agree on that. Case closed. Full stop.
I’m with you, all bots have their uses, even hound even though he’s on the bottom of my list due to my vastly different playstyle
Did you just tell me to use proper English?
I agree, it is for Kabam to decide, so why is your opinion any better than mine? You say he needs changing, I say he doesn't. I say you probably don't know how to use him, because you probably don't have a good fighting strategy with him.
You sound like some sort of self righteous, high and mighty idiot who gets butthurt when people disagree. That probably reflects on how you behave in real life, but I wont go any further in to that...
Like what I said to KittenPrime in another thread. You do you regardless of what I'm saying. So there's absolutely no point in furthering this 'talk' of ours. But I would still like to see your R5 Hound and R5 Mixmaster. If he's a really good character. Why hasn't anyone mentioned Hound being a good character? In fact. Let me create a poll on which is the worst warriors. There won't be too many votes. But just enough to conclude what the majority of the community is saying about this character. That should conclude our argument.
The fact that there are better warriors does not make Hound a bad bot. Nor does the fact that many think he is bad make him bad. His play style varies hugely from the majority of bots available. You can't just fire two shots and attack. Nor can you just fight at range. He relies on setting up - he plays like a demo bot.
Manthro likes him anyway, so that is at least one person.
Then why are you still here? I've seen your YouTube channel, kid. I'm not impressed. But thanks for letting me know about your own opinions about me. At least I know.
I love how you try to be condescending and stuff, when you're probably the biggest noobie going. What's your IGN? I'm interested.
He’s in the below average zone with just one R3, never know maybe he just joined last week and already has R3, but then again they’re giving T3 basics for free pretty much nowadays haha
I like hound...nobody else does tho
Dude he did nothing wrong 2 u!
Show me your R5 Hound and R5 Mixmaster, DaveJL.
Seriously, just because people say something, it doesn't make it true. Both my Hound and Mixmaster are at rank 2 and I manage with them just fine - I don't find them harder to use or less powerful than the majority of my other bots. I have Primal and Mirage at rank 2 as well, and they are arguably amazing bots, they just don't fit with the teams I am building. Does that mean I just play different and my play style works better with them? Probably. I hate Ironhide, everyone else loves him. Doesn't make him bad, just IMO he is the worst Demo bot.
Seriously, Hound doesn't need a buff. Just try and apply a burn debuff then play melee - watch the crit damage rise. Think of him as a tank who can deal burst damage, a bit like Bludgeon.
If you have to max a specific mastery just to make a bot useful then he isn't really that good is he?
nah you're right mate, it's not like windblade, bonecrusher, drift, arcee, CW prime, rhinox, bludgeon and MV1 don't benefit from maxed deep wounds as well, so yeah it's probably a rubbish idea.
Aye aye captain . We ain’t here to be enemies or to have a brawl we here to have fun and talk Transformers, sometimes you’ll lose yourself but remember this is ~alliance mission~ a forum not global chat
Fair point but I think the bots you listed can be very effective without "Deep Wounds" and the person I replied to seemed to have been implying to max Deep Wounds just for Hound. And quite frankly, of the bots you listed, I use only Bludgeon as one of my main mission bots.
I would have used G1 Prime more often but unfortunately the crystal gods have chosen not to gift me a G1 Prime above the 2* level. And with the way my roster and the game are evolving with 4* I probably wouldn't have much use for a 3* Prime anymore anyways.
That's fair comment. I think Widow was meaning more Hound can be incorporated in to a Bleed team to be awesome (synergy with Drift is money). I think it is really difficult to judge any bot on a stand alone situation, as usually you play them in 3's and 5's
Okay. Dinobot and Bludgeon are two of my main bots so it's not like Deep Wounds wouldn't help me but I tend to prefer Masteries that help all my bots.
Absolutely, sometimes you have to change approach based on the bot you are using and sometimes you have to change approach based on the bot you are facing.
Wise words, Red_Eyes. Wise words. Don't get me wrong. I really, really do want to like Hound. I really do simply because of his synergies. So much so in fact I would integrate him into my main team alongside MV1 and Ironhide. Have Hound as my main warrior for the team instead of Drift or Bonecrusher. But like I said. Purely for his synergies. He could spice up the gameplay from time to time if I choose to use him in battle but rarely. Any sort of improvement, even if it's just a slight damage boost towards his status effects would be a welcome addition. We can agree Kabam has done quite an impressive job so far balancing this game's characters when compared to MCOC. I'm sure a little boost towards Hound wouldn't be the end of the world.
