The "Overwatch" Public Test Realm (PTR) comes to a close and feedback from gamers have been gathered. Here are some of the updates to expect from the new patch 1.7.

"Overwatch": Nerfs to Ana and D.Va, Roadhog's Hook 2.0, among others

According to PC Gamer, Ana will be getting a nerf to her Biotic Grenade burst healing, while the boost is reduced by 50 percent. The duration that Biotic Grenade's buff and debuff lasts has also been lowered from five to four seconds. In D.Va's case, she gets 200 of her armor distributed as health points.

Most notably is, Roadhog will now be getting his long-awaited Hook 2.0 (technically 3.0, since it was changed again in the PTR). The hooks are expected to be more compatible with Roadhog's line of sight.

Also, Sombra finally received a minor buff, decreasing the time it takes to hack a target from 1 second to 0.8 seconds, as well as the cooldown on Hack from 12 seconds to eight. There is also a new emote wheel, which allows players to equip up to four emotes, sprays, and voice lines from within the hero gallery, as well as a slew of bug fixes and, of course, heroes being able to reach unintended locations.

"Overwatch": Funko Vinyl Pops

Meanwhile, per IGN, the new wave 2 of "Overwatch" Vinyl Pops have been announced. Wave 2 of the "Overwatch" Pops includes a 6-inch Meka with D.VA figure, as well as 6-inch Reinhardt, along with Symmetra, McCree, Lucio, and Mei Pops.

Funko said that the set is coming out this year. Funko also announced new Pops from other properties, like Twin Peaks, Parks and Recreation, Mr. Robot, Mystery Science Theater 3000, and even Space Jam.
