what if only storm arrows were hitscan shoots or simply faster? i kinda like that very much
Well even widow can flick you at close range. So whatâs the big deal?
Same. Iâd trade his entire kit to get his arrow speed back.
But why now? The Hanzo arrow speed changed months ago. People moved on. Hanzo players either got used to his new arrow speed or they just gave up on Hanzo.
It would be unfair for players who got used to the new hanzo arrow speed and/or might prefer this more inconsistent speed.
They canât handle any dps hero, besides sym, being viable.

No, Iâm saying that at one point, when he first had Storm Arrows, he had the speed and 70 dmg. Thatâs why it was broken, bc 70dmg changes the breakpoints to 2 storm arrow headshots to delete someone. . .when it was down to 60, there was really no point in using storm arrows for a duel, since a normal charged arrow wouldâve been faster than 3 storm headshots. The 70 dmg is pretty huge, and allows him a lot of strength in duels
Widow flicking requires a huge amount of skill. As Hanzo, itâs still difficult, but the practically-hitscan speed at close range combined with the hitbox of a projectile, and a much smaller speed decrease than Widow for firing?
Thatâs why itâs good. Hanzo is better in a LOT of DPS duels, with his weakest ones being Genji and now, Widow again.
The 70 dmg is big because 1 headshot and 1 body kill. Or 3 body. At 60 it would be 2 headshots to kill, just like at 70. Just 1 headshot and 1 body wouldnt do it anymore, nor would 3 body shots.
But my point still remains, they havent tried on live servers, 60dmg storm arrows, but the faster projectile speed it had since his rework, until 6 months ago.
That clears up your point a lot, so thank you for that first and foremost.
It would be okay to try, but some ppl might freak if they changed the speed a 3rd time 
I think it would do the hero some good, since that nerf he hasnt been doing well, and was too good with 70 storm and faster arrows, and atm its 70 storm and slow arrows, still not doing that great. Maybe faster arrows and 60 storm would be the sweet spot, idk. Not a fan of hanzo in general, but know he is pretty bad atm.
I think it mightâve also had something to do with Genji being super strong, and Ashe being able to do more damage overall, but the change would be something to try. I personally like the old speed, since most of my play time was during Scatter Arrow era
Other heroes being strong doesnt help, but ever since his nerfs in january, he has been pretty poor. And multiple dps have come and gone as the meta since then.

Well there is a reason why no one uses him in OWL. He is garbage
