Hound doesn't deserve to suck so bad. How is he so BAD in Forged To Fight while he is a beast in AOE AND TLK? His burn damage is so low I could just feel sorry. And his damage output isn't good.

I think he needs a burn buff. Special 3 burn should do 110+% and bleed should do 90+ percent. And inferno should do 45-60 % of damage over 3-4 seconds. Buff his melee attack a bit and he would be a pretty good warrior.
He does need a buff badly, but that would be a good start. If they decide against increasing his base attack, why not let him deal more burns? The guy is meant to be a walking gun cabinet after all.
Yes but the fact his burns deal so low damage it is sad. He should get a lot of burns and the burns should be way stronger
Rather than giving him a major overhaul, I think he just needs a few things here and there to toughen him up a little. Buff his base armour a little to make him feel like the big ol' lump of metal he is. Give him a 20% armour buff from heavy attacks instead of 10%. Give him an evade ranged chance when he rolls away from a ranged attack. That way, he'd occupy an interesting middle ground between the toughness of Bludgeon and the agility of Arcee, without stepping too heavily into either of their niches.
Finally someone who gets it.
His ranged attacks deal melee level damage or more... His basic ranged can hit with the force of a ranged heavy attack from some bots, especially when coupled with sniper mastery.
I get that it looked good at the time from Kabam’s view, but us players need a bit more from him to give us a reason to actually use him over other options.
Bludgeon and arcee were mentioned. Bludgeon is a great example of a reliable, versatile bot. Chance to stun on ranged heavy, armour buff, strong bleeds. Arcee might have the bleeds from ranged but still has the increased Crit Rate to fall back on. Hound doesn’t have this backup option. It’s like his damage output is restricted by how much you have to play the ranged game
I disagree on the major overhaul disagreement. He DESPERATELY needs it and the burns absolutely need to be improved. Armor I agree a bit on. But, the burns should do way more damage. And melee damaged buffed a bit
In your perspective so quit with the negativity. Hound isn't an abomination at all but he is such a cool character in the movies
