Hogger is a Bruiser from hero from the Warcraft universe. He wreaks havoc on team fights, taking complete control of the entire battle zone. No one can escape it. Crowd control – slow, stuns and knockback is enough for everyone. Hogger uses Rage instead of mana, which he gains from taking and dealing damage. However, it is not spent when using skills. A high Rage supply speeds up the cooldowns of Basic Abilities cooldowns, but as soon as it stops replenishing Rage, it quickly decays.
