Based on what I have played in ptr and live, the Hanzo rework is extremely underwhelming. I hope you have further plans for him. TBH all I see is a love child of some Overwatch Heroes and Sha Lin from Paladins. I hate comparing it to this, and Im not saying that the scatter wasn’t OP, but his rework is just so boring and it’s a nerf no matter how pretty you try and paint it. You have unique characters and I feel as tho you’re breaking away from that to try and produce more. The uniqueness is what really made the game awesome. Now you’re reworking characters by changing what makes them unique and granting them a hodgepodge of pre-existing talents. I’m not saying the job is as easy as 1-2-3 and mean no disrespect. I love this game, and will continue to play, but I think there are some serious issues in reworking characters in general that probably need to be addressed.
umm new hanzo is extremely strong and counters brigitte hard
I said underwhelming, I didnt say underpowered tbf
Good Hanzo players are probably dancing and rejoicing over this rework.
The bad ones have probably created new accounts and main someone else.
I’m not an Hanzo player, but from what I’ve seen it look good and fit the lore/logic of the char.
im hanzo main and i like it
Her shield goes down so fast. It’s hard to miss her shield with storm arrow.
that does make sense, my bad i misunderstood
I’m not sure what you were expecting. The problem was that scatter shot was so cheesy it gave everyone lactose intolerance, so they needed to replace it. They gave him a new ability and a half, plus a couple tweaks. It was a fair trade all in all. If you expected a major overhaul I think you were probably overestimating the problem.
lol idk about that, im neither. i play him, but i dont play him anough to main. im in a weird inbetween
Same, I never used to play him because he just felt inconsistent and scatter felt cheap against tanks, but I’m really looking forward to picking him up more now, at least for fun games in QP. Need a lot more time before I can even consider using him in comp.
Hanzo has a high skill ceiling. Start landing those shots.
i was a decent hanzo before. my complaint isnt that scatter is gone, my complaint is that its replacement is sub par
New Hanzo is stronger than the old one, dunno what you’re talking about. Rapid Fire has hilarious damage potential and the new movement ability is great.
I know. It doesn’t have any pizzaz really. It just works and that’s it.
sub-par in what way? that you are no longer getting a free, cheese-ball kill on an 8 sec CD?
Spoken as somebody that doesn’t play Hanzo.
Got to play some today, all I can say is…teehehehehehe
He’s more fun to play now. I love it. Going to enjoy it while it lasts, because I can already tell he’ll get a nerf eventually for being too good.
New Hanzo is great.
You have to play him by staying even more mobile in between shots.
If you are skilled, no more getting locked down by a Winston or the occasional symm that pops out of the woodwork.
Agreed. Its unfortunate because hes better but balanced. All of the evidence before this change showed he was in dire need of buffs, Scatter as well which is funny. However, the crocodile tears of the vocal minority got their way…
It would be a false hope to expect they wouldn’t get their way again.
