Why did Blizzard patched 'Oneshot Roadhog' back into the game + a higher fire rate?

And current roadhog still excels in countering dive heroes. When dive was meta I used roadhog to counter the Winston and dva. He can’t one shot them but it’s more used to zone them out. Making the back line more vulnerable. In fact SFS used roadhog in that very way against outlaws

Heh, well, I am a fan of the current Roadhog design.

Roadhog

Chain hook

• Cooldown reduced to 6 seconds, down from 8 seconds.
• Hooked targets instantly lose all sideways momentum.
• Hook pulls targets the instant all preliminary LOS/Lag checks are completed

@GreyFalcon-11737

Consistent spread pattern on every shotgun blast.

Still waiting on something like this:

@GreyFalcon-11737

Passive: Thick Skin

• Enemies/Healers gain 50% less Ultimate charge when damaging/healing Roadhog

Or this

@GreyFalcon-11737

Roadhog

• Take A Breather
  • No ultimate charge given to enemies during the ability.
  • Can bodyblock enemy ultimates to bodyguard his teammates (I.e. Rein/Dva Ultimate). Roadhog is still affected by the attacks.
