the reasons behind removing HoG are a little complicated. long story short, it was still too good despite the gp10 stacking nerf and removing it's armor.

apparently, the stat that hog granted, health, synergized too well with more the defensive strategy that gp10s allow you to use. the idea is that you're harder to burst not simply because of the added hp, but also because it's passive gold allows you play with less risk.
