Developer comments: Roadhog benefitted greatly from the recent headshot reduction passive for Tanks so we are nerfing his survivability. This change to Take a Breather is aimed at encouraging more mindful resource management. The change to Whole Hog will make the ultimate more of a zoning tool while lowering its lethality, especially against tanks with their recently increased knockback…

Developer Comments: As we continue to monitor Venture's gameplay throughout their release Season, we are making a change today that adds more flexibility to using Drill Dashes.

¡Hola amigos! This is Sombra. I was a little bored and figured we should have some fun this weekend. ¿Qué te parece? So, I decided to hack into the game and change the rules of Quick Play to make things more... interesting for a little while. I call it: “Quick Play: Hacked!”
