hanzo wont be able to do that either if there supports are there
A good hanzo isn’t concerned about luck. It’s not a matter of luck that makes or breaks him anyway. Chances are, your arrow will find a hit even if it isn’t a headshot. Meanwhile at close range you don’t have the potential to overshoot do you? Add an ability that does obscene amounts of damage at not time at all in the mix and no tank will live.
Widow has unscoped as her method of dealing with targets near point blank range. It doesn’t do much damage and is inconsistent due to spread.
In what way is hanzo handicapped at all??

Says the guy who does nothing but post about how Quickplay matchmaker isn’t as good as Comp. 
yes he does the projectile is very slow right now where u have to get lucky so the hitscans have a big big advantage because theres is gurrented with good aim
When a widow 2 shots a winston on her its actually hype.
When a hanzo storm arrows a winston its sad to see.

No you absolutely do not. If you seriously believe hanzo solely revolves around luck then you are a low level player guaranteed

Exactly. It’s zero effort, no skill, and all reward.
On top of which, if Hanzo is within Reaper range, it’s pretty hard to miss the broadside of a barn.

i did not say it was all about luck but there is luck in it though.whats ur rank if im a low level player then
Hanzo needs to use a cooldown to do this, compared to Reaper and Tracer simply using their weapons
If a tank does not save their defensive abilities for such a huge threat, they deserve that incoming damage
Luck isn’t part of the point or issue here though.
Hanzo’s blatantly op against tanks due to storm arrow and normal arrows being fired in no time at all while doing tons of damage whilst having zero downsides.
Top off his stupid amount of burst damage with great evasion in his jump and wall climb and you have yourself a character that can deal with any tank and any squishy perfectly. He’s too strong overall but especially towards tanks.

ok your trying to call me a low level player when ur to games off of diamond on ur main role on ps4 get out of here with that
Hanzo is at the needed ranges with his cooldown up, FAR more frequently than Tracer or Reaper or McCree can safely attack a Tank.
Especially when we are talking about Winston and D.va that can otherwise choose to go in when McCree or Reaper are out of position.
If he had like a 40 second cooldown on his StormArrow, then maybe you’d have a point.
But they also begs the question of why Hanzo, an instant kill ranged sniper, who has more effective range than all but 2 other heroes in the game, needs to be deleting Tanks at the press of a button.
He needed that capability when he had no horizontal escape options.
Clearly he doesn’t have that issue now.
Much less after his Lunge would be buffed to move him halfway across the objective every 4 seconds.

Are we really still pretending that Tanks are hard targets to hit in 2021?

You over value his lunge and his effective range
Hanzo is the inconsistent sniper, which is not what you want to be as a sniper

These are needed nerfs with compensation buffs. Lotta heroes don’t even get the compensation. Don’t see why it’s controversial.

Let’s go over some facts then.
- Hanzo Leap is 8m
- Winston Tesla Cannon has an 8m range, and knockback of at least 2-3m if direct landing
- D.va booster has a knockback of about 2-3m, and at 10m range the 2 damage pellets start having damage dropoff. (In addition to a 40% movement speed penalty when attacking), as well as a wide spread angle.
And I’m suggesting to increase that to 10m range.
Which by any measure generously puts him outside of DiveTank range.
Because people aren’t reading the buff part it would seem.

Well, people have always said that McCree’s roll is useless or near to it. Hanzo’s lunge is just a worse McCree roll.
Well, like I said above.
Hanzo is preventing Tanks from both having more variety in usage, and from making them more desirable overall.
If that means Hanzo needs to be dropped below Bastion tier. So be it.
But I honestly think the above changes wouldn’t even drop him below average in GM.
Fixing queue times in mandatory. Hanzo being in the Top 5 DPS out of 17 in GM, is completely optional.
And “You can’t use D.va or Winston because StormArrow exists” is unacceptable.
