Your Favorite Overwatch Character May Have Just Gotten Nerf

A new Overwatch patch means more than likely your favorite character got nerf or buff. Check out the official site for the complete notes as I only added a fee bullet points to this article.
D.Va
  • Health increased from 200 to 400
  • Armor decreased from 400 to 200
  • Fusion Cannons
    - Bullet damage decreased from 3 to 2
    - Number of bullets per shot has been increased from 8 to 11

Developer Comments: D.Va’s armor often made her feel like she had no weaknesses, even against heroes that are often effective against bigger targets (like Reaper). The changes to her Fusion Cannons will result in a small overall decrease in damage, but they should feel more consistent now.

Roadhog
  • Chain Hook
    - Targets are now pulled directly in front of Roadhog (rather than straight to him), except in cases where Roadhog drastically rotates
    - Hooked targets are now released if they leave Roadhog’s line-of-sight before being pulled
    - Line-of-sight checks (which detect if targets should be initially hit by the hook) are now done from Roadhog’s position, rather than the hook’s position
Developer Comments: The hook should now feel more consistent for Roadhog players, but it should also feel more reasonable to his enemies, as they cannot be hooked or pulled around corners anymore.

Sombra
  • Hack
    - The time it takes to hack a target has been decreased from 1 second to 0.8 seconds

Developer Comments: Sombra often had difficulty hacking enemies, even when she surprised the target. This change should help her execute hacks more easily.
