The above conversation states that there will be a patch for Roadhog that will come out in mid-January where his ability to one-shot will be fixed and some other rework could be introduced. Further details are yet to be revealed and fans can expect to receive more information sometime soon.

The Hero has been present in the game from the beginning, receiving numerous nerfs along the way. But in Overwatch 2, where the team size has been reduced to five, Roadhog has become a controversial Tank Hero. Players often get annoyed with his ability to heal himself and one-shot most Heroes he catches with his Chain Hook. Fixed a bug with D.Va’s ‘Selfie’ highlight intro not removing the mech after the explosion when some skins were equipped DC • Disney • Fortnite • G.I. Joe • Marvel • Power Rangers • Roblox • Star Wars • Transformers • WWF One of the notable catchphrases from the game is "Nerf this!", said by D.Va; this is a reference to the gaming term, "nerfing", related to characters getting downgraded in patches implemented past a game's initial release. This term was initially coined by the gaming community in reference to the Nerf brand of dart blasters [3], making this a rather roundabout reference.Blizzard Entertainment rolled out a new patch for Overwatch 2 on Tuesday that will put an end to Roadhog’s ability to one-shot kill his opponents, thanks to some substantial nerfs to his Chain Hook and Scatter Gun. That’s good news for players weary of being on the receiving (aka dying) end of a successful Roadhog hook, but it’s also not the only change that Blizzard has planned for the tank. For example: Previously if a hero had 1 armor remaining and took 100 incoming damage, that would instead be reduced to 70 damage due to armor. Now, in the same scenario, that hero will take 99 damage Fixed a bug where Lifeweaver would auto-swap to Healing Blossom if Tree of Life was placed while Thorn Volley was active Relative Gyro Aim Sensitivity During Barrier Shield – 100% by default (only available on gyro-supported platforms)

Genji has greatly benefited from the move to 5v5. Changing to a single Tank and the reduction of crowd control has removed a lot of obstacles for Genji. However, he hasn’t received tuning updates since he wasn’t actively in the meta until launch—an intentional decision based on our general preference to avoid preemptive adjustments when possible. These changes will bring Genji more in line with the other flanking damage heroes like Tracer and Reaper.Moira’s strengths lie in her extreme survivability, high healing throughput, and consistent damage output, but other supports have at least one utility option or play-making ability. To remedy this, Biotic Orb has been split into two abilities on separate cooldowns: Biotic Orb and Necrotic Orb. Due to Necrotic Orb’s potential to shut down many Ultimates and heavily swing duels in her favor, Moira has also received some compensation nerfs to her overall power. Zarya is getting hit pretty hard, with her Barrier duration reduced to 2 seconds, down from 2.5 seconds. Barrier’s cooldown time is also increasing from 10 seconds to 11. Opponents should have more time to do damage to Zarya, while she’ll have less time to build up energy from enemy fire.

The final hero who’ll be tweaked this time around is the brand new support. Kiriko is briefly invulnerable after she teleports through walls to stop her from instantly dying. However, the window “ended up being a little too long and led to some confusion when shooting at Kiriko.” Genji’s nerf is a bit more slight: He can hold a maximum of 24 shurikens (down from 30), and will do less damage (27, versus 29) when the balance update goes live. D.Va too will get a slight nerf, with her Boosters impact damage reduced from 25 to 15, and her Fusion Cannon spread increasing from 3.5 to 3.75. Kiriko’s getting just one minor nerf: Her teleport ability, Swift Step, will make her invulnerable for just 0.25 seconds, down from 0.4. There's some bad news for Roadhog players as a severe nerf is on its way to downgrade the Hero's signature one-shot combo.

While quiet most of the time, Roadhog is a merciless executioner with a long history of violence and devastation. He wears a mask and inhales with "hogdrogen" inhalers, which contain a pressurized chemical combination to help offset the effects of radiation exposure.
