They’ve also made a couple of posts about it here on the new forums.

I can see how without playing him you might have this concern. But I’m finding that he plays a lot differently than McCree in playtests.

The things we are trying on Hanzo right now have him playing as a very reliable mid and long range character. The horizontal movement ability plays out as a disengage but can also be used to get to some interesting spots using wall climb. The volley ability is useful at long, mid and close ranges whereas McCree’s Fan the Hammer feels, to me, mostly like a short range option.

Hero distinctiveness is very important to us. We’ll make sure both McCree and Hanzo have their respective places.

We still have quite a bit of testing to do on Hanzo and once we start to do animation and sound, it’s going to take awhile as well.

We haven’t had a chance to put any visual effects, sound effects or animations on his new abilities. We were playtesting the changes for a while to make sure we wanted to commit the art resources. We’re now at the point where we can schedule time for our artists and sound designers to work on Hanzo. Once they are close to done, he’ll make his way to the PTR.

The changes we made to Doomfist, Sombra and Mei did not require any art or sound time so it was easier to get those up for public testing.

These changes are 100% confirmed to be happening. It’s not just an idea they have for Hanzo. They’re making their way through the pipeline.
