"Overwatch" is one of the most updated games ever since its release back in May 2016. In an upcoming update, the controversial hero Roadhog will see some rebalance in his skills while Winston gets buffed.
According to principal designer Geoff Goodman in the official Blizzard Forum, the new build will focus on tweaking Roadhog, as they feel that his ability is still too strong. With this, specific modifications were made, primarily the hero's hook ability.
The ability's cooldown is increased to 8 seconds from 6 seconds, and targets are now pulled to a distance of 3.5 meters instead of just 2 meters. Balancing out the nerfed hook ability, Roadhog's Scrap Gun's spread will be decreased by 20 percent, making it more effective when not using the hook.
According to Game Rant, Winston remains to be one of the characters that most need a buff since his offensive capability is too weak and he dies too easily despite being a tank. With this, the gorilla now has a reduced critical hit volume to decrease the abnormally big damage he takes due to his head's hit volume.
With the new PTR update just released recently, it is unconfirmed whether or not the new Roadhog and Winston changes are implemented as well. As of the moment, the Year of the Rooster event is about to end and Competitive Play Season 3 will follow afterwards, making the wait short in all likelihood.
As for the next hero to be released in "Overwatch," it will most likely be Doomfist. But it is unclear whether or not Hollywood superstar Terry Crews will voice the character and everything about the character is just purely speculation at this point.
"Overwatch" is now available for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Here is the latest video for the game featuring the developer update introducing the new Server Browser feature:
