All in all, Valve’s Thursday October 10 patch over-nerfed Bebop a little bit, with the follow-up patch on Friday October 11 correcting among the adjustments. That stated, Bebop’s hook has loads of new methods with it engaged on troopers. So as a substitute of simply repositioning your opponent, you may hook in a trooper and use them as a cellular AoE, if accomplished proper. Ultimately, Bebop remains to be a power to be reckoned with, particularly within the late sport, so be careful.
