A new patch for Overwatch 2 has been released that has rebalanced several heroes. Roadhog has received the biggest nerf as the power of his signature Chain Hook attack has been dampened.
This will be good news for many Overwatch 2 players as the rotund ruffian's one-two punch of grabbing an opponent with the Chain Hook and then blasting them with his Scrap Gun could kill most players instantly. And being one-shotted is never fun (isn't that right? Elden Ring).
In a bid to remedy the situation, Blizzard has slashed the Chain Hook's damage from 30 points down to five. Roadhog's Scrap Gun has also had its damage reduced from 6.6 points down to six, but this is balanced out by a slightly faster reload time, and an extra shot in the chamber (from five to six).
