The recoil animation of Hanzo’s bow is absolute garbage and whoever decided on this clearly does not play Hanzo. WTF IS HAPPENING!?
First it was that garbage Hanzo robot skin with claws? Like…really? REALLY!?
and NOW THIS…
The recoil animation on Storm Arrow BLOCKS you from seeing the enemy in front of you.
Shooting the arrow itself is SUCH a MASSIVE distraction that it’s actually making the Player WORSE.
Is this on purpose?
Are you devs trying to find another way of NERFING a perfectly balanced hero?
As a Hanzo main who one tricks Hanzo, this really is a true disservice to such a wonderfully made hero.
Hanzo hasn’t been META in SO MANY seasons. What the hell is the reason for this?
Yeah, I’m pissed.
If you’re insistent on keeping this recoil animation, you really need to clean it up.
Make the Bow size smaller in the Player’s POV and lower it on the screen so when it DOES recoil, it doesn’t BLOCK the view of the enemy AT LEAST.
The flicking recoil HURTS my eyes and so far other Hanzo mains.
just do yourselves a favor and throw this idea out in the garbage.
Clearly, it wasn’t discussed enough.
Edit 1: So i’m reading that it’s some sort of bug? Tbh, it doesn’t look nor feel like a bug, but something that was done on purpose. PLEASE get rid of this before Ramattra is out for Competitive Play.
10/10 HARD AGREE. Whoever decided this was a good QOL change needs to go back to the drawing board and put him back the way he was yesterday! Its actually nauseating to play Hanzo. I don’t 1-trick him but I do play him alot and I’m actually a little pissed off about this.
It’s a bug, other heroes animations have been broken since OW2’s launch with the wrong framerates and now this garbage lol. They still haven’t addressed this
I think I only see massively annoying animations in my replays and highlights. Otherwise the animation never changed for me from ow1 to ow2. Not sure if this is a “this season patch” issue.
It might just be me playing on lowest settings or some different accessibility options, but I really don’t see it during games.
The animations in replay and highlights tho, yuck.
I saw 2 other posts, it seems like a “this patch” problem indeed and my issue was unrelated. Well, what can we do other than wait for blizzard’s fix slowly pass console patch approval.
I really do hope that they resolve this before Ramattra is released in Competitive. There are many Players who take their aim, gitting gud, and ranking up seriously (like me).
In all seriousness… You’d think this wasn’t a major bug that a hot fix could address it and a few other things! Hopefully they don’t remove the guy! I hate it though, I really wanna play Hanzo on Shambali
Exactly my feelings. Hanzo was perfectly balanced. This was not needed nor was it asked for, although it seems less like a bug and more intentional. Hanzo hasnt recieved any sort of love in terms of skins either. Fix hanzo and give him a good skin in the battlepass i literally bought the battlepass for hanzo’s intro and they even managed to pop his eyes out in it. Cmon blizzard this is how you reply to being good at the game? Sojourn could make better use of this recoil but no give it to the only hero in the game who uses a bow and arrow. Also i have gripes with the dps passive change too. HOW DOES HANZO BENEFIT FROM THE 35% RELOAD SPEED INCREASE ON KILL? Unless youre thinking of giving hanzo a crossbow with unlimited magazine which still would make it useless. Give hanzo specifically chargeup speed of like 10 or 15% on kill then it will be fine. Cmon this is not what i expected with Season 2…
Fix this bug asap. It’s completely uncalled for. Like myself and many Hanzo mains it sucks to even try to play him like this. It’s more infuriating that we get a long overdue highlight intro for him yet he is virtually unplayable with this bug that affects his regular arrows, his storm arrows AND his sonic arrows.
I think original animation is perfect. New animation is so annoying it keep doing stupid shake and block your aim and view on every shot. As a Hanzo player, Don’t like it. Non of a Hanzo player will like this change. I’m sure Hanzo’s personality wouldn’t appreciate this style of archery. Please rollback and fix the low framerate problem on the Genji’s left attack first.
Was looking if someone did a post about this. At first I though that was an animation bug or something. But I see this was intentional… And is TRASH. Worst idea ever. You cannot see the enemy cuz the animation dont let u. Aiming like that is terrible. The dev who came up with this idea need’s to fix it next patch. How the hell u put recoil IN A BOW. C’mon. Bring back old animation.
