Someone has to say it. Doesn’t matter if she doesn’t one shot. She’s way more consistent, more mobility, more damage, safest and easiest-to-direct spam in the game.

Pls don’t compare the amateur who can’t even pull a bow string to the shimmada king.
The amateur is a budget easy bowmen for people who can’t hold a real bow but want to play pretend they are archers too , it’s a typical card game developer design like their virusbra.

I tend to find it is easier to kill a Freja over a Hanzo more often than not, and this is coming from a Support player.
Freja doesn’t one shot and has to wait for her damage to activate

You can argue that her primary is just an infinite but weaker storm arrow and that her secondary fire is the weaker ADS fire of Hanzo’s primary.
Just like how Soldier and Sojourn kits are just reverse of one another.

and with the same problems, since soujorn’s kit is not on a cooldown like soldier’s, but rather depending on the much easier to get charge, while Freja’s is on a reload instead of a cooldown like hanzo, much easier to spam.
This is a good thing for her and is the reason why she gets alot of kills.

Better ult that even builds up faster too
Hanzos ult is one of the least effective in the game

Freja is to Hanzo like Ashe is to Widow.
Just wanted to share that.

She’s more like Echo + Tracer

Not at all. Widowmaker is very effective in a highly skilled player’s hands. Hanzo isn’t consistent enough for that, and even the guy who is literally known for Hanzo is off playing another game partly 'cause of his current design and balance.

Fair point, I just saw the similarities and then this post, and thought to share my shower thought.

She does not even need to pull a bow string to be twice as effective as that Japanese boomer. Call her Tomoe. I am only three hours into Ghosts of Tsushima. So… I have no idea if that reference even makes sense or not.

She is the stronger hero for sure. But I don’t find them to be all that similar in terms of gameplay.
lol tomoe you will keep chasing for a while, but the game is awesome especially atmosphere and the stories, though i would say its as grindy as ac games atleast origin level.
its a fantastic experience though.

as and old hanzo main now, is kind of true, the only thing hanzo is better is having radar and 25 more hp. Freja is just faster moving, can avoid tanks/melee better, can get in vertical position without having to look at a wall and shoot faster and more reliable projectiles, and have on demand the fast fire rate primary to finish people and break shields…
People thinking that hanzo is different because he can oneshot, doesn’t know that usually at best you only headshot 25-30% of your hits, so usually you are two tapping someone or finishing them with stormarrow more often that feels very like Freja.

Sojorn doesn’t one shot literally but she is still most OP DPS currently. Also delay detonation is annoying ebough. Ally gets the explotion arrow, retreats to its team and dies damaging own other allies
No, that’s definety Bastion’s Artillery Configuration. Meanwhile other heroes use perks to enhance ultimate, Bastion uses ultimate to get the perk. Without perk it’s completely trash ultimate

The shimmada king doesn’t avoid, he decimates them , they avoid him not the other way around.
He is a Dragon 
not a chicken to run way
Also 25-30% critical means 1/4 to 1/3 of your shots are kill shots just that will make every squishy think twice seeking you it gives him space to operate.
Also storm decimates output of 900ish dmg following a primary that makes tanks piss and run away, ginger is no were near that.
They don’t really fill the same niche. But there are quite a few heroes that are more consistent than Hanzo. It’s a problem he’s always had, and if they tweak his performance too much, it’ll lead to complaints and balancing problems.
No, not even close.
Hanzo and Widowmaker can be compared to each other, but neither Ashe nor Freja resemble them.
For one thing, Ashe is built around sustain fire and damage over time, the complete opposite of Hanzo or Widowmaker.

The critical hits percentage doesn’t factor in misses, only hits it’s a percentage of a percentage. Say a Hanzo had a really good game with 50% accuracy and 25% crit, that means 1/8 shots he fired were critical hits, 4/8 missed, and 3/8 landed elsewhere on the body.
