A Roadhog nerf is happening soon in Overwatch. The news comes from Blizzard’s Geoff Goodman, who responded to a forum thread asking where the revamped hookshot was for the character. Players have complained about the character’s signature ability being too powerful, as he can attach himself to characters that he can’t actually see.
