Roadhog’s Hook Ability to be Nerfed Soon

According to Overwatch’s principal designer Geoff Goodman, Roadhog’s hook ability will be nerfed very soon.

On the shooter’s forum, Goodman details upcoming changes to Roadhog’s ability: “The hook victim will now move into the position directly in front of Roadhog, rather than just a straight line towards him. There is a cap on how far ‘to the side’ you can be pulled, so you can’t just hook someone, spin 180, and dump someone off a cliff.”

Goodman also states that he won’t be able to hook someone whom he can’t see and a persistent line-of-sight check will cut the line between Roadhog and his victim if they drop out of sight mid-hook.

Goodman stated elsewhere in the thread that he thinks Sombra “could use a bit of a boost,” suggesting that she may get a buff in the near future.
