Geoff Goodman, principal designer at Blizzard revealed the upcoming changes to Roadhog and Winston. Posting on the official forums, Goodman revealed that bullet-spread from the Scrap Gun will be decreased. That should let Roadhog blast targets in close-quarters with ease when not relying on his hook.
To balance this change, Blizzard will increase the pull-distance and cooldown on the Chain Hook. This will let targets to be pulled to a location further from Roadhog than before.

- Chain Hook: Cooldown increased from 6 to 8
