Jokes aside, as a Zarya main, having a good Hanzo on the team who gets picks, combos dragon with grav, and is in vc, I donât know if I could ask for a better DPS on the team, combo wise.
Of course, finding a Hanzo player with all the above qualities is few and far between in plat/diamond.
Sure most of the complains that you listed are 100% wrong. Like they are about any hero that is targeted for a nerf by some people. See Brigitte, D.Va or Mercy.
But Hanzo have still problems.
Im a tank player and Hanzo is one of those heroes that is a tank counter. Cool I get it, but on the same page Hanzo shouldnât be an opener and shild burster. I see the problem with Hanzo that players donât get punished, when they got dived, what should be the main weakness from Hanzo. Meanwhile Hanzo have enough mobility now and easy to use burst damage that lock all tanks up, as long you donât run GOATs.
The problem that most of the people have here, is that Hanzo win too ofen close up match up that he shouldnât win. Even it is a lucky headshot, you feel cheated, because a sniper shouldnât be strong in close combat. And with the buffs to his primar fire and storm arrow they gave Hanzo this ability, thats why there are people complaining like myself.
Scatter wasnât better as an skill as storm arrow is now, both skill feel cheap if you get killed with it. The only difference is now that they made storm arrow a lot easyer to use than scatter ever was ( Was scatter on 6 sec cooldown like storm is now? Mabye you can answer me that too) without cutting any of his other skills as a tradeoff.
Sure Blizzard isnât good at balancing there game, what they proved with the Mc Rightclick change. They make all the DPS way easyer too play without cutting the effective to carry on those heroes down by the same amount. (Well same could be said about healers, if you look at the kits from Moria and Brigitte compared to that from Ana, for the tanks I canât really speak, because the only really ânewâ tank is the hamster, which I donât really play that often.)
So to summon this, if people see that hero X need Y amount to be played good, than they wonât really complain. But with the buffs to Hanzo those amount Y was reduced to 50% what you need to be good with the âoldâ Hanzo, who I think no one really complained about, when he got 1 shooted from (if you donât count the scatter complains)
at least he is not as bad as forum JUNKRAT when he first got his buffs. forum junkrat could
teamkill everyone with a blindfold
his projectiles where the size of Roadhogs and are undodgeable
his conc mines had the damage of mini nukes
he could direct pharahs 100% of the time thus he had no counter
Riptire would charge in only 1 second every fight
Riptire would move as fast as sonic
Riptire had 10000 HP and did the damage of a Dva self destruct
just because âforum versionâ of a hero sounds super strong does not mean that the hero is not super strong. in all honesty Hanzo, REAL HANZO is a snipers, without the weaknesses of a sniper and that is the problem he does need nerfs, he is a better jack of all trades then soldier
