He is the new Junkrat but with arrows to spam. He shouldn’t have the ability to one shot other heroes. All his PoTG that I see are him spamming arrows (If not his ult combo with Zarya). It’s so annoying.
Snipers should not have the ability to spam their fire. It’s too much dmg
#Summary of what people say:
-He is not a sniper:
That’s not what the game says when you pick him with Widow.
If he is not then why does he have no dmg falloff and why can he one shot other heroes?
Snipers are usually weak or disadvantageous at close to mid range but really powerful at long range, which is not Hanzo’s case at all.
His headshots are way too often and mostly luck based, Widow has to aim for the head to secure headshots.
A dive/mobility hero should be a Sniper’s weakness but Hanzo can easily shutdown dive heroes now.
-His projectiles are one of the smallest in the game:
Even though his projectiles are small, they are obviously a problem. (he rarely misses any headshots) .
-You don’t want him to be viable:
I want him to be as balanced as any other hero. No more no less.
Hanzo is the most overpowered hero in the game right now and that is coming from Tracer main who should be hating on Brigitte.
They gave him huge broken hit box on his arrow because he was too hard to use with having projectile weapon and slow projectile speed, they made his hit box smaller but not enough that you can’t still hit someone without even line of sight and get undeserved head shots. Now they have increased his projectile speed and he still has the huge hitbox its just terrible.
No its massive and even more so at close range, my suggestion to put him in a better spot would be they reduce his hit box some more so you can’t shoot around corners and actually have to hit people in the head to get a head shot, this should be easier now with the projectile speed increase and I think this one change would put him in a good spot for the average player and allow skilled players that mastered him to shine.
Hanzo was never a sniper. That’s widow. Hanzo is an archer. Widow does mid-long range. Hanzo does mid-short range. Both are capable at their extremes (hanzo long, widow short) but excel where they’re designed for.
When I first found out that this game had two snipers before buying it I was super excited since it always has been my favorite class/weapons in FPS. But Hanzo has never been a sniper. The one shot+projectile combo is one of the worst things about him.
