Hanzo doesn’t belong in overwatch, his kit is too packed, no weaknesses, no counterplay, he is very bad to play against, games being defined by lucky 1 shots that a lot of the time dont require skill at all, this has been an issue since OW1 with his huge arrow hitboxes that make no sense. just delete hanzo he doesnt belong in OW, its not interactive to play against and its just dumb id rather get killed by a skilled cassidy or ashe.
Skilled Ashe is an oxymoron. Hanzo takes more skill than that stick of dynamite.

While i can understand the frustration of getting killed by lucky headshot spam, no one is gona consistently get value from just spamming arrows in a gerenal area unless your playing in low gold and below. This is a low elo take honestly.

I believe the devs have said that they won’t permanently remove a hero from the game?
Honestly, that’s probably one of the few things I adamantly agree with them on.
[Hanzo does need tuning, though.]

I’d rather just make him less effective in a range than delete him. Like, he’s good at mid and close range, and can be a little more effective at long range than what I feel is fair.
Also please give him a different personality other than “woe is me” like bro I’m sick of hearing him talk he’s so whiny!!!

nah. keep hanzo the same. You all will complain about any S tier hero. So why bother.
I bet you’re the same guy who whined until they nerfed roadhogs very easy to counter THREE shot combo….

he was gaslit into murdering his own brother then left his clan and by the same people who gaslit him, sent assassins to try to murder him too. I’d be pretty upset idk about you
This isn’t a popular opinion- but I feel ashe has one of the most bloated kits. Hanzo has a lot going for him too, mind you. Blizzard has a habit of taking many “archetypes”, and then going wow. There were typically balanced by tried and tested downsides? But those aren’t fun. So let’s get rid of those- and ashe is a big example of that to me.
(Note: this isn’t to say she’s overpowered. No matter how “bloated” a kit is, messing with the numbers can make anything over or underpowered)

This could be said about every hero in the game someone doesn’t like.

I did the crosshair change and got massive value. I’m also not in low gold.
I detest Hanzo but started playing him every other DPS game and couldn’t believe how easy he is. If you compare that to playing Sombra, the amounts of effort you need to put into win are superlatively night and day.

So like get a therapist or a Zenyatta, why he gotta make it everyone else’s problem? Also an annoying hero but at least they have that in common.
Besides, he didn’t even do the job right what is he even crying about?
I don’t like Hanzo at all, i hate one shots.
The same could be said for any other DPS. Sombra is harder to get value in general unless you’re really good at her. Problem with sombra is that you’re constantly forcing your team to fight 4v5. Other DPS helps their team create space, simply by being present.
I disagree with most of what you said except:
She’s weak AF and been nerfed into that state. Since this is how the devs are showing they are doing balancing, we need Hanzo and Widow at the same level. If it’s ‘healthy’ for Sombra and Hog to be in the gutter, how not those two? I don’t love asking for devs to gutter heroes but since they’re obviously gonna do it anyway and nobody can stop them, this is the next way to ask for changes that I feel make the game healthier, overall. Hanzo as trash is one of those changes (unless they find an intelligent way to rework him, but they’ve shown time and time again they either have no ideas or no good ones. Storm and Scatter both have their issues. Compare that to Ashe’s Dynamite, you see barely any complaints about that ability because it’s very fair).
I chose Sombra as an example for a reason, but even compared to something as similar as Soldier, Hanzo still gets lucky headshots (and bodyshots) all the time because they refuse to tighten the critboxes/hitboxes/lower burst damage.
IDK about you, but Sombra is capable of tanking with the amount of space she can provide by pulling heroes back, or taking supports or a support+one other out of the teamfight, as well as cutting off some of their healing. That’s usually a dive tank’s job.
She should either get way more lethality or utility, but they leave her in a state where you have to do massive amounts of work on her just to break even. At least clutch EMPs can still be gamewinners.
He sliced his brother in half that’s a little traumatizing
lol
k?
shoot him in face
if no skill required why not pick hanzo and climb ranks?

He has been in the game since release you had an odd 7 years to quit this game already. Maybe you should try it.
coz like always with these bad takes they are bad and the hero is not over performing.
