Latest Overwatch 2 hotfix brings some adjustments to Roadhog

As promised the day before, a new hotfix has arrived in Overwatch 2 and it brings some adjustments to two tank heroes: Roadhog and Sigma.

The May 24 update has nerfed his Take a Breather ability, reducing the maximum amount of health capable of healing and the resource regeneration rate. On the patch notes, the developers explained this change was implemented since the character has benefited the most from the mid-season changes to the Tank role.

The patch also affected his ultimate ability, with knockback increased but the damage per pellet reduced.
