Is this seriously how we play "snipers" now?

Cool, let’s remove his ability to one shot with headshots then.

The Hanzo fix the game needs is simple:

Revert the buff to projectile speed

Give him two less storm arrows.

There. Hanzo is fixed. Still great in skilled hands with his lunge and able to melt things with his storm arrow, but less of a must pick.

Except that ruins Hanzo. Hanzo is meant to be consistent high-damage. Widowmaker is not. Widowmaker is meant to take true dedication and mastery to perform.

Hanzo isn’t meant to be viable to people in Diamond+ or Master+ or GM+, he’s just meant to be viable.

Storm Arrows

Replaces his existing Scatter Arrow ability
Hanzo can now rapidly fire up to 6 arrows that deal reduced damage but are always fire at full powers

Developers Comments: The goal of these Hanzo changes is to allow him to have new options and maintain his high damage output, while removing the frustration of fighting against the old Scatter Arrow. Hanzo is now much more mobile with his new Lunge ability, and with the combination of the bow projectile speed increase and the new Storm Arrows ability he can now deal his high damage more consistently than ever before.
