Remove Hackers from the game entirely.

Why rework something that has nothing going for it?
They were removed from card drops because free lvl5 hackers ruined the game.
No other lvl5 unit from a card drop will break the game like this.
This points to hackers being problematic in general.
Beginners can't seem to overcome them yet long time players seem to find them useless.
The moment a hacker is played the entire match must immediately become a game of "stop the hacker at all costs" If you send giants after it, your giants get hacked. If you try to distract them with chaf they hack your chaf which becomes a distraction for your giants while they also get hacked.
Hackers are either completely useless or they sit untouched behind enemy lines turning your entire army against you. The best viable strategy is to completely swarm that point which is a gamble at best. what if they play two hackers behind enemy lines? you can't swarm both of those points.
When i see a hacker, I want to stop playing because I know nothing I do will work against them and if I win it will probably be random, not because of any strategizing I did. It doesn't feel good to play this way.
If they are so broken they can't be included in the random drops then why are they in the game? Either the hackers were the problem or the free units are. I don't see any other free units being complained about like this so I say the hackers are the problem. Removing them from unit drops doesn't stop you from having them. Hackers bring nothing to the game but imbalance. I don't like them and I know I'm not the only person who feels this way. They also look ridiculous.

I disagree with removing them. They need a rework because having a utility focused unit instead of just another damaging one in this game is a nice thing, but the way hackers work right now isn't it.

Having hackers disable units would be great with loadouts that change the disable into effects like when a tower gets destroyed for a benefit or an AoE buff for units near the hacker etc.

Wow, someone sure got their circuits fried by a hacker. Sounds like you've had one too many runins with them. Maybe instead of hacking your patience, they should hack you a strategy guide. But hey, look on the bright side at least they don’t hack your internet connection. Keep calm and adapt, boy.

Thank you for your unhelpful and condescending comment. Have a nice day.
