One flicks and tank melter this guy needs to chill i swear.
Fact he can headshot off storm is a joke and his rate of fire for his primary is too much for the damage it provides.
It’s a massive ****** bow i get it but can we just dial it down a little, an arrow to the face one shots but an icicle doesn’t for example?
I’d suggest toning his damage or even just hitting his rate of fire mostly as it would actually feel somewhat fair when you die instantly to arrow spam?
His ult is fine; his mobility is fair but his damage is unreasonable.
it’s easy to hate hanzo, i do to. But his stats are super mediocre. I’d actually change storm arrow from click>shoot 1 arrow to click > shoot stream of arrows. So he use it to quick burst, instead of aimed fast shots
The real issue is the hitbox size of the arrows. So many times in the kill feed the arrow will look like it’s nowhere near you. Guy will flick his wrist like a spaz, his arrow is released an inch or so from your character (suppose you’re both 20m away) and it’ll reg a headshot for the insta kill
Hanzo mains can say it takes so much skill all they want. When characters like Widowmaker and Ashe with their rifles can’t insta headshot (I’m talking about quick scoping on Widowmaker), but Hanzo can fire an arrow that does something is wrong.
It’s dumb, even when I’m playing Hanzo for the luls. I’ll spam arrows at corners at general head level and listen for the dings . Shoot the arrows a little in front of where they’re running and you’ll get headshots
If they made his arrows skinnier id be fine with their ridiculous damage
When i play Hanzo myself from time to time i have no problem finding shots and have never considered my projectile size to be a factor, and not even factoring the speed of hanzo’s arrows comparing them to the speed of mercy’s pistol and genji’s stars there is no comparison.
It doesn’t change how cheap it feels and doesn’t even regard my complaint in the form of damage and rate of fire considering a weapon with no reload and ∞.
Your literally not punished for taking shots as in every other sniper is;
Ashe 12/12 no charge but considerably less damage, full reload takes an eternity.
Widow 30/30 + charge time, slowed movement and restricted LOS when scoped.
Hanzo; ∞ ammo/clip full mobility plus jump for pushing corners, also the quieter sniper out of the three and having storm up to finish kills or bail you out for being initiated like you should be.
Imagine if widow had a burst mode on cooldown for 5 free rapid shots and 75 damage, you think that would stand?
Projectile size is irrelevant, current Hanzo is bs and just cheese all around and feels trash to lose too from getting one shotted to a bs flick or stray arrow im just saying.
Hanzo’s primary fire dps is very low, actually.
Cause his primary fire rate is horrendously slow. In fact, its lowest of all dps heroes. Unless you wish to spam arrows that travel 3 meters and deal 25 damage
The charge time of Hanzos arrows are comparative to Widow’s shots. 1 second vs 1.25 seconds but she only has to charge for .6 or .8 (I cant remember exactly which one) to get a 1hko on 200hp targets.
Personally I would slow down the fire rate of storm and lengthen the duration to compensate so that they become less spammy and promote more aiming. That being said with how I use it most of the time who knows if itll work. I just see a pocket of people and use it like I did scatter try to deal a little damage to everyone.
Because Hanzo mains run around tapping primary fire initiating with uncharged shots im sure.
Eitherway i feel something has to be done, i mean we all know it won’t as we know overwatch is far from the most balanced game and there are other hero’s that urgently need seeing too before “balancing Hanzo” but it’s definitely on my list is my point.
A rate of fire nerf would feel more fair and taming storm arrows also would be a good place to start, somehow implementing him to be a more niche skillful but rewarding pick?
Happy to see it’s known among us i mean it’s far from a secret but it’s nice to know Im not the only one losing my **** to hanzo one shots and storm spam.
Hanzo wouldn’t need compensation he’s strong enough as is, and if I ever witnessed a buff to storm arrows or damage and fire rate of his primary I’d actually just leave.
He already has the fastest moving projectile in the game, and the longest (which is part of the reason people dont like him as much) I’m actually fine with the fire rate, and charge rate.
In fact I’m of the opinion that he didnt need as drastic of a speed buff to begin with. I’d take half of it away so he kept his feel with scatterHanzo but the consistency of StormHanzo.
I will admit part of it is because I had so much time on scatterhanzo and when I autopilot I overcompensate my lead on his shots, but I dunno. Maybe add just 1 more second to Hanzos leap, to make it on par with Winston’s to make him a stronger pick against him? He still is, but some people cant wait for him to storm before they jump on him.
Icicle has a much larger hitbox, Hanzo takes skill to land hits… Right now in a meta with 0 dps present, I think we have more to worry about… We can see how things play out once they come back.
