being able to one shot most of the roster with very little effort is wearing thin on me. it’s nonsense and i’m tired of seeing him.

It is frustrating but it’s not very little effort. It takes more skill to land a hanzo headshot than a widow, ashe, or mccree headshot. Sure you have the occasional lucky headshot from across the map but happens maybe once per game. It’s way too inconsistent to make him overpowered

but it doesn’t. his arrows have a massive hit box and i’ve seen ones that go OVER my head kill me. he’s the epitome of cheese

As someone who played Hanzo a bit I can confirm his projectile sizes are gigantic. And he has so much stuff in his kit too

That’s because hitboxes and projecitles are buggy in this game, and hitboxes in general are way bigger than they look. There’s also cases where the arrow land on the body and it didn’t do any damage (no-reg). Also, it needs to be a bigger hitbox because it’s way less than hitscan.
I’m just saying I see McCrees and Ashes land way more consistent shots than hanzo at range. It seems like hanzo’s arrows take more skill.

the only problematic thing about hanzo is his storm arrow burst damage, especially against shields and tanks
otherwise hes fine and yea it is a little harder to hit shots with projectile weapons (not by a lot tho especially now that he can storm spam 
)
he’s fine tho in my opinion. maybe just give him back scatter arrow then storm?

He was balanced until that stupid storm arrows buff he got during his event. If they wanted him to be really powerful during his event fine but they should have reverted the buff when it finished. He wasn’t even anywhere near the bottom either. Idk why blizzard has the need to buff mid-high tier heroes and keep them busted for months-years. Meanwhile you still have heroes at the bottom receiving no buffs for a looooonng time

Lies I hate him all of his shots are lucky 
/s but I still hate him
A good hanzo makes it look easy. Untill you show a competitive game above diamond level where you are popping off, one shots left and right your post means absolutely nothing. If the hero is so broken you should easily be able to upload a video like that.

I’m ngl it feels so much easier to hit with him than the other snipers for no reason.
One person in my group was wondering why I always popped off on him and switched, lo and behold he is now getting potg whenever he plays him.
It definitely doesn’t seem as hard to hit targets with him.

I wish more people would understand that consistency = how difficult (skilful) something is…Something cant be easy if it’s inconsistent for most people.
Anyway, Hanzo could definitely lose some power out of storm arrows but only once Mccree is also toned down. His 1 shot is fine.
He isn’t op and takes more skill than Ashe mccree widow etc, let the projectile hero be good.
Maybe it’s a preferred aiming style and you are better with projectile than hitscan. Or maybe you’re just very lucky.
But whenever I strafe against a hanzo as any squishy, it feels like a hanzo misses a lot of their shots whereas an Ashe, Widow, or McCree won’t miss nearly as much
his one shot isn’t fine since he doesn’t even need to actually headshot people to do it
Ok so lets go with this. What are your proposed compensation buffs for a nuke level nerf such as this?
nuke level? all I want is some consistency when it comes to being killed. I want his arrows to actually have to hit my head to kill me in one shot. I’m ok with him being able to one shot as a sniper. I’m sick his panic shots insta killing me because of how fat the hit box on his arrows are

cries in Reaper ,when an arrow does more damage than a shotgun in the face(20 bullets) there are some problems

Yes. Making an inconsistent hero even more inconsistent is nuke level. It’s not the same as tweaking a damage number, we’re talking a hero potentially doing nothing at all.
If it’s not a noticeable change, why do you even want it?
I do not see any oneshot ability that hero himself has in its kit. I press left click - nothing dies. What am I doing wrong?
Spamming spamso spamming arrows have been a nuisance since the game was released. People hated scattershot and wanted it changed, Blizzard answered with the middle finger and gave him more spamming potentials with storm arrows.
I sure hope they address the spam damage heroes that can just fire in your general direction and score kills.
