Hitscan meta? Nerf hanzo

I know a lot of people hate hanzo but why in the world would you guys at blizzard nerf skill shots? Even the description didn’t make sense. It basically said hanzo is getting nerfed for no reason. How many out there are actually constantly getting killed by a hanzo wall climbing?m followed by a skill shot? Most of the top players don’t even play that way to get kills. This nerf is like removing widow’s ability to grapple in the air and landing a headshot. Its a “skill” shot man, this nerf makes the hero feel clunky. With hitscans being meta, why would hanzo of all people get such a terrible nerf? If hanzo is such a menace then just nerf his jump instead! Don’t go around nerfing a hero that doesn’t need it and making them clunky just because low rank players stand still when they see a hanzo wall climb.

Shots like that aren’t consistent and they are mostly used to outplay dive heroes like genji or doom. Hanzo literally has no way to outplay genji or doom anymore when they dive him. its such a silly nerf for absolutely no reason, Its a nerf no one has been asking for or even complained about. Let me be clear, ill still play hanzo, ill still destroy everyone in my lobby but these nerfs he’s getting back to back when we have way more problematic heroes is starting to annoy me. I totally understand nerfing heroes that are broken or absurd but why in the world would anyone mess with their fluidity? Don’t even get me started on the other heroes that got changes, half of these changes are horrible.

Agree with all your points. People usually complain about two things when it comes to Hanzo: his ability to “spam” arrows down sightlines to get kills and sonic arrow making any corner potentially a deathtrap (with the latter being nerfed in the last patch). In all my years playing Overwatch and reading forum threads I have not once seen a single complaint about his ability to hold his arrow charge while climbing. Hitting a shot immediately after climbing a wall is usually a skillshot anyway so I guess they just want to dumb down the character - because that’s definitely what people want.

It really does feel like blizzard wants to dumb down their heroes because a lot of casual players cant keep up. Its a shame because thats what drew me to this game in the first place.
