Blizzard looking to change Roadhog's defences

Roadhog's getting changed some more, it seems.

It's no secret that Roadhog has been changed a lot since Overwatch launched last year, as he's a hero that Blizzard has never been totally satisfied with, especially in regards to his hook, and now principal designer Geoff Goodman has written on the game's forums to talk about the Hog some more, although this time it's about the defensive side of things.

"We're testing some stuff internally for Roadhog," Goodman writes. "The focus of changes we're trying are around his defenses, rather than his offensive capabilities. Even though the hook combo is weaker now he can still dish out a lot of damage overall. If he had some more survivability he would be in a better place."

It's not clear what they're going to be changing, but it's clear they still aren't satisfied with his position in the game yet. What do you think needs to change?
