The Overwatch team said they are looking into buffing RoadHog's defensive abilities as balance to his damage nerf.



Many posters are reasonably fearful that this will make him even a bigger ult battery than he currently is. I believe it depends on *how* the defensive buff applies.



My recommendation is having a 20-30% damage reduction on hog while he is inhaling, like sentry mode Bastion. This will increase his survivability without giving more ult charge to enemies attacking him.



If you want to make him a more team oriented hero, a small damage reduction can apply to nearby heroes during this action. This will allow Hog's big body to be used as meat shield and defend teammates, without costing too much in terms of ult charge.



Another option is covering his head hitbox while inhaling, which again will reduce effective damage, without costing in ult charge for the enemy team.
