That increases accuracy not dmg hello? He still can’t 1 shot, hello?
Hanzo will totally be fine, he will if anything end up OP overtime, given how these devs operate interms of balance, the issue with this patch is it is going to destroy game hero identities, pillars of balance like tracer base hp and aim skill expression scale all for crossplay console stuff and maybe mobile overwatch in future.
I dont think the new devs know what they are getting themselves into messing with something like tracer base hp, its not as simple as making hp changes and dmg changes to everyone else.
That base hp of tracer was chosen with much more considerations to dopaminergic value of gameplay loops.
Anyway people expecting this is the demise of hanzo are going to be disappointed in a way it is to true hanzos but if anything this patch will just make him and widow more common and popular and in the wrong ways for the things people who arent good complain about.
I don’t.
But it’s a question why you want Tactical Shooter design in a game that’s not a Tactical Shooter.
Yes
Your point being?
if you hit all three in the head with a right click plus dash, its a oneshot combo, i think thats what hes referring to
whats the point of hitting more headshots if they dont kill? Especially when it takes 0.7 seconds for the follow up, by that time they can get healed back to full health to tank another shot
if i get mobile players on my team im leaving im ngl

one shot is sadly not just a tac shooter trope, you would know this if you play shooters of all kinds in general.
Again see you are doing it you are derailing, you wanted something, i said why that particular design of knock down is used in certain genres were its is used to compensate for lack of infinite respawn.
Now you are going to make me argue how one shot is not limited to cs go.
Even though im pretty sure i have done this thrice or more already.
I dont think kockdown in overwatch is a bad idea either, i look fwd to a day when people just dont hate mercy for rez.
The thing is anything can be added if the implementation is right and we address what we are adding why and what its is replacing or adding to, like self regen other games dont have supports that heal as much as overwatch so it works for them, can it work for overwatch too ya, but have we toned down support healing no, but we added regen,
so in a way it is balanced now by using a dps passive that causes anti, which causes role dependency leading to further issues and also makes a unfun mechanic like ana anti nade as a balancing tool now as a passive for a role.
Can you point to 3 other modern PVP FPS games with ranged oneshots, that don’t include a universal counterplay mechanic?
Heck, can you point to even 1?
Because dealing 240 damage to a 250 health target is almost the same as killing them in one shot? You’re downplaying it like a headshot does minimal extra damage
No, but Genji is also a lot more mobile than Hanzo and if done right can take out almost all your hp before you even know what hit you and escape just as fast.
Why do you think overwatch doesnt have counterplay to oneshots it has many from divers shields better consistent guns to shields to imf and better movement and my favourite better cover than most other games, anyway tf2 has oneshots, the closest to overwatch, apex has but you will probably say that everyone can hold a sniper or using some helmet reduces it. Fortnite has, titanfall 2 has possibly the closest to overwatch after teamfortress, im avoiding cod bf2 even though its arcade.
What shooter doesnt have oneshot nowadays.

but they survive, and they can still get away for healing
Because I said didn’t say just “Counterplay”, I said “Universal Counterplay”.
Yeah
Or they took 10 damage to a stray sniper range Soldier bullet and died anyways
so its not a oneshot, it required a follow up to kill
Which is why its just a bad change that will just cause more frustration due to lack of teamplay.
Bad players will still get destroyed by hanzo when they dont get heals.
This will only lead to toxicity against supports, so lets just reinstate one shot for hanzo, so the bad players can hate hanzo and blame him for being a lucky hero instead of harassing poor supports.
Yeah, obviously
Tell me again why it needs to be a oneshot? I forgot
bc then hes useless? No oneshot=a worse ashe
its like bastion losing his turret form, its just integral to his identity since launch
If you cite frustration as a reason, bad Hanzo players getting rewarded for playing like Junkrat is both more frustrating and has more impact on game balance
