It's nerf time.
Islem Sharouda 11 February 2017

Many characters in Overwatch have already faced some tweaks to balance their strengths or weaknesses, and it's now time for Roadhog and Winston to get the same treatment. As announced on the game's forum, Blizzard decided to correct Roadhog 's Chain Hook and Scrap Gun as well as reducing Winston's head hit volume.

The details of the upcoming changes in the PTR are as follows:
Roadhog
• Scrap Gun
- Spread decreased by 20 percent
• Chain Hook
- Targets are now pulled to a location 3.5 meters away, up from 2 meters
- Cooldown Increased from 6 to 8
Winston
• Critical hit volume reduced by 15 percent

These changes are expected shortly, but do you think they're fair and reasonable?
