People seriously need to stop making out that Lunge made Hanzo this mobile beast because it didn’t. It travels the same distance as a McCree roll, it is more of a nice bunny hop.
Wall-climb is nice but not mobility you can actually use to get away from someone. It is strictly positioning and finally at the end of the day Hanzo spends the vast majority of his time using his primary which slows him. So for the most part he is actually feels very slow and immobile.
Hanzo only truly becomes OP specifically during Storm arrows usage. 280DPS with incredibly good break-points and Hanzo’s slow removed. You are not beating that.
It’s also limited by the fact that it’s a projectile. At closer ranges you can treat almost like a hitscan but further out it gets to the point where if the target is trying to dodge, you’re not going to hit them.
Not only is it 120, it is 120 burst damage. So you don’t even need 2 full charge shots to kill tracer if you don’t got a damage boost. Or even any 200HP target, let alone headshots.
Been playing a lot of Hanzo lately, and while I go for headshots, the body shots are still crazy powerful.
No that is a silly statement. Projectile hitbox is addititve to the hero hitboxes. Larger projectile hitbox still has a massive effect on balance and difficulty to hit targets. It doesn’t even have to be projectile.
Take Sojourn. They doubled her Railgun hitbox and it made it massively easier to land shots.
Its worth pointing out however that hanzo doesnt have to “Reload” like these other heroes do. Sure hes got a charge time, but theres no extended “down time” beyond that.
What is ashes overall DPS for example when you factor in her reload time?
Hanzo also has the benefit of being able to walk around and knock an arrow pretty much indefinitely- allowing him to chunk away over half your health right away with a body shot at the onset of an engagement. Now sure itll take him 1.25~ seconds to full charge that next arrow, and the other heroes can lay out some serious damage in that time frame too: Its also worth pointing out that he doesnt need a full charged arrow to finish the fight- assuming he doesnt land a headshot and delete you right away off the bat.
Now, dont get me wrong. While I have my personal qualms with hanzo- i by no means feel hes “overpowered”, and am not going to insist or assert that here.
But i do feel stating something as broad as “his primary is his weakness” is a bit misleading. Sure it has its “down sides”, its also got some amazing upsides- and is overall, a very powerful primary weapon.
I’m gonna turn this around on you: If you’re judging a character danger level by how consistently they can damage and kill the biggest class with the biggest critspot, you really shouldn’t be talking about game balance.
Of course Hanzo hurts tanks really well; he was always a hard counter to tanks. How does he stack up with everyone else?
I don’t agree. He’s just like every other sniper like character; he has great range, a panick option that temporarily guards against his weakness with a pretty high aim requirement, and escape options. The thing with Hanzo is that, despite having two, his escape options are garbage so that his damage can be high.
His leap and climb are both beaten with basic tracking. You just have to look at him while he’s doing this, and its just like he’s not using a two whole skills to save his life.
Haha, they actually did and people cried about it. Shields were the best way to counteract ranged oneshots; you can even see where the sniper is through the shield after they’ve taken a shot. The response was that people cried until shields were aggressively nerfed, so what can you do?
Not really. he’s plenty glass enough all things considered, people on this forum are just biased against him. If I’m being honest, I’ve stopped taking complaints against Hanzo serious when someone got mad at me for the fact that I was defending Hanzo. No, not anything I said in particular, just the fact that I wasn’t bandwagoning against him and saying “yeah, he does have weaknesses”.
Oh yeah. Players are just hating on Hanzo because of their personal mald. Anyone calling him overpowered at any point was just being a mald Andy lying out their teeth. He was ever only meta in Gravdragon meta that ended quickly when they nerfed it since it was being mirrored so often
Show us a clip of you hitting 5 straight storm arrows in 1.2 seconds. I’ll wait. It’s so easy even a baby could do it right? Apparently easier to do that than use Reaper’s primary kek
