Blizzard To Nerf Overwatch's Roadhog
Overwatch principal designer Geoff Goodman has announced on the Overwatch forum that the developer is planning to limit the power of Roadhog's hook.
Goodman says the change makes it so that Roadhog's hook can't attach to targets he can't see, will break off if you leave his line of sight, and "feel more consistent as to where the victims get pulled."
The change will be in the Public Test Room (PTR) this week. From there, Goodman says Blizzard will see how the changes go over and proceed accordingly.

Our Take
Thoughts, Roadhog players and victims?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
