It has further been revealed that D.Va may also be nerfed on both the offense and defense sides. The "Overwatch" developers have reportedly reduced her buller damage from 3 to 2 and her 400 armor has also  been diminished to 200. Note that D.Va may also have her health and rate of fire increased.

In addition, Sombra's hack has been changed to take 0.8 seconds instead of a full second, Gamespot reported. The "Overwatch" developers are reportedly working on the glitches discovered in the Oasis map. The game map has been noted with minor issues like breakable objects resisting to melee attacks, among others.

In other news, a short clip featuring Roadhog's nerfed hook reportedly went live on Reddit revealing an allegedly weaker and unreliable hook. The clip reportedly stands at the top of the subreddit with over 20,000 upvotes and 4,000 comments. It is believed that the new hook may get Roadhog killed, Attack Of The Fan Boy reported.

The "Overwatch" fans reportedly noted that D.Va's mech now quickly gets destroyed with less armor.
