Just do nerf him, he’s boring as hell to play against; I don’t care if people say he’s inconsistent, he’s just as dumb as it can get. Widow got nerfed but he really didn’t? So he can oneshot from long/mid/short-range with no falloff or disadvantage whatsoever. What’s their identity? Just nerf that annoying oneshot honestly. I am pretty sure people who know much more about OW can state statistics, numbers and tweaks in order to fix him; this is just a rant because they just ruin the game in my opining and 100% of the fun I’d love to have in this game.
How? How do they nerf his OHK without ruining him? Every single time someone proposed a nerf or rework, all they basically accomplished is make him a throw pick, remove the incentive to aim for the head, or remove the incentive to choose him over other characters who would kill just as fast or in just as many shots and are more consistent.
You can’t nerf him much without a compensation buff. If his arrows size gets nerfed, chances are they’re increasing the speed.
If he is to remain a sniper, he NEEDS to at least be able to reliably OHK Widow at long range, so if he loses his OHK against characters with <200-240 hp, chances are they’re increasing his arrow speed or hit box size. His ability to OHK w/o LOS was why he got a 33% size nerf with a 30% speed boost in OW1. No OHK against all but 2 characters means there’s no logical reason to not revert it.
Losing his OHK means either he’s doing less than 100 to the body, or his crits got nerfed. Regardless, he’s getting a size, speed, and even a ROF buff. If it’s a crit nerf that affects Storm, guess what’s getting more or stronger arrows.
You won’t be happy regardless. He’ll either be useless or arguably more broken than he is now, and he’s not broken. The vast majority of players on him miss 70-80% of their shots, and of the 20-30% that do hit, less than half are crits. Hell, Storm requires 40% crit or 80% body to kill 200-250 hp. If anyone can consistently hit 40% accuracy to the body on a projectile hero, they don’t need hacks to excel.
