Brigette shows how Weak Hanzo really is and Why her Ult needs a Nerf

Hanzo doesn’t need a buff right now,

What is your fantastic reasoning behind this?

• His high pick rates?
• HIgh win rates?
• His demand in specific situations?

Or just that pure gut feeling that is not supported by any data.

I am going to go with Option #4

So at a loss rate of 165 health per second and only a “heal” rate of 30 per second, I doubt they’re gonna be in good shape.

@Awkward-1942

but it give someone plenty of time to get out of it and not die horribly.

Exactly - Something people are failing to realize is the chain of events.
Duration of Rally is 10s, they only need 1s to get out of the ultimates way.

If they took 100 damage. They have 9s of 30 armor per second.
Which is potential 270 health \ armor they gain after escaping. ( which is capped at a max, but they still keep gaining armor replacing lost health )

Which means not only do they escape - they become more healthy afterward.

This would make it difficult for Reinhardt and Orisa to tank and create space for their team, and it would trivialize the shield mechanic they are based on.

It is a skill shot at full power. That means it needs to hit the exact spot to crit. Just like it would any head.

For Rein that means constantly keeping his shield bobbing around will make it difficult for him to land the shot. Which makes it an Indirect Buff for rein by giving him more of a reason to play than Orissa.

For Orissa yes, but she has an extremely short cooldown on her shields.
Also, it will be a counter to the Pirate ship and Orissa Bastion combo which can become extremely strong.

If the game is all about countering - without Scatter - that means Hanzo is now far more susceptible to dive from winston \ tracer \ genji.

@gmazca-1969

What about Widow? She has to deal with shields too, should she be able to crit-shot them?

Widow has a hitscan with no damage fall off.
Can do mid air headshots.
With an OWL pick rate of 25% and can easily instant kill people from across the map. She doesn’t need anything to define her roll in the game.

@gmazca-1969

he isn’t viable in other situations.

Hanzo has an OWL pick rate of 1.3%
He has no roll in the game after Scatter is removed.
He comes a far weaker McCree - as McCree has hitscan.

That means even pro players cannot find an ideal situation to play him.
There really is no situation where Hanzo is better than any other Hero.
Which is why you never hear, “We need a Hanzo on our team”.
Also the main reason Hanzo mains are meme’s

@Ancova-1393

I’m not sure if you’re trying to say something clever

No I mean think about it. That is the reason McCrees headshot damage is 140 and not 150. Only for sake of not 1 shotting tracer. Infact almost all abilities that can easily kill tracer is less than the 150 threshhold.

So it seems Odd Blizzard would make an ability that allows rapidfire of 6 arrows where any one of those 6 arrows could 1 shot her on headshot. I am pretty sure there is a catch they have yet to tell us about. That or we are going to find out they reduced the arrows to 70 damage instead of 80.
