Right now it’s 100m/s
Used to be 85m/s
This would not be a massive nerf but it would separate good and bad hanzos a bit more by making his shots more challenging to actually hit.
This could be enough to reign him back without actually hitting his kit and could make more of an opening for other dps.
It is a massive nerf. It makes his arrow speed slower than Zenyatta’s projectiles.
It pretty much cuts his effective range by a third or more.
The Devs knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they buffed the speed. They wanted Hanzo to be good. And so he was.
Old Hanzo was f-tier with his old speed.
I actually miss his old speed. I played him almost exclusively on a friend’s account before I got a pc. I still play him now and then… But he feels cheap. I despise storm arrow as an ability, it’s kinda broken right now and is just so damn boring. I also feel like I don’t deserve a lot of the one shots I’m getting when firing into a team from a distance. Before I felt like I actually had to take care before releasing a shot, but now he’s kinda just rewarded for spamming.
15 m/s nerf makes him f tier… ok man whatever you say drama queen.
Fine keep the speed and eff his kit up completely then .
He’s too strong and that’s just the truth and making it harder to hit his shots by a little is the least threatening to him. I hope this is the nerf he gets and not one that ACTUALLY makes him f-tier.
The projectile speed buff ACTUALLY came from him being considered a throw pick for the longest time in an effort to make his shots easier to hit at lower ranks. Check your facts.
I would have been fine with a revert, initially. But now, the last thing I want to do is have to relearn the timing/leading for his arrows again
Relearning would definately suck but it would put him in a much better spot that wouldn’t reward spamming as much and make him less hated.
I just think his Lunge wasn’t needed, especially because it removed some counterplay/weaknesses of him.
The projectile speed is fine imo.
With slower shots all you can do is spam because every single shot is a just a guess.
“I hope the enemy doesn’t change directions or duck or jump when i shoot”
This would be fine too but I’m leaning towards something that doesn’t have an effect on his mobility because without it he would be more divable than mcree in a bad way.
Perfect.
I think he needs to be more divable though.
He has his Storm Arrows to deal with whatever comes close to him. If that is out of option then there is always his passive mobility. If that too is not an option, then I guess he got outplayed and countered.
Well if you are less skilled with him that’s all you’ll ever do… good hanzos will be good hanzos regardless. He doesn’t need to be essentially at hit scan at long ranges without a little skill though. This in turn would also minorly help hero’s like pharah.
Dude, pay attention. Nerfing Hanzo’s arrow speed ALSO NERFS STORM ARROW because it lowers the speed of those arrows too.
And it lowers his effective range. It’s not a “small little change.”
And this is a myth based on nothing but your own emotions. There are no “perceived throw picks”. There are just throw picks. Heroes that are weak have a low pick rate.
No that all you can do.
If I adadadada strafe and you are shooting slow shots. You are just guessing when you shoot. You will never fire an arrow and KNOW your going to hit because you don’t know where I am going to be when the arrow gets there
So you would spam until you hit.
I mean trust me I’d rather that kind of nerf for him but I wanted to go the least threatening to his kit route. Makes it more palettable.
Nerf it a bit. He has Storm Arrow now.
That buff was before he got Lunge and when he had Scatter.
You’ll reliably hit things more often the closer you are to a hit scan (the faster the projectile) because then you just aim at the hero… the slower and slower things get the more you have to guess/lead targets.
You know that Hanzo is a projectile hero, right? And that his projectiles are hitscan-fast? He deserves this nerf. If anything, it’s a wrist slap nerf, he could use more severe ones, like removing his Lunge or gutting Storm arrows damage.
Right so, you are increasing the ranges at which hanzo is just spamming by alot not making it better
Making it harder for him to hit thus nerfing him
