You can pretty consistently get dragon in about twenty-thirty seconds if they have no barrier and you farm their tanks. I, personally, do not believe it is a problem. But I am a Hanzo main. Just leaving the facts out there.

Yet blizz nerfed zen anyways. So an off healer that is designed to provide large amounts of damage is surprising?
In the last couple days I’ve seen so many Hanzo’s get ult within the first 40 seconds of a match, a couple within 30, and one who got it in 28 seconds. And thats in low plat ffs.

That’s what I said…they nerfed zen off of what Jonak did with him in the league. Not on the ladder.
This is nothing new though… Ive been able to do that since I started playing and that was before storm arrow. Its just that there is almost ALWAYS a Hanzo in every match now that people are noticing this… He’s always been one of those characters where you can charge his ult stupidly fast, so long as you hit things. I mean I can get my ult with Mccree in like 30-40 seconds if I hit most my shots, but you don’t see people screaming for his ult charge rate to get nerfed. Again its just cause EVERYONE is playing the new shinny toy (Hanzo) so yea it seems like his charge rate is op and broken when in reality its pretty much the same as its always been. Does storm arrow need some tweaks? Yea, but his ult charge rate is fine.
Clearly the only solution here is to nerf the entire Korean peninsula.
It’s the same as Junkrat getting frequent, consistent ultimates. If you consistently do the thing the hero punishes, they will get their ultimate consistently as long as they punish you.
People push through choke points in a big deathball for that lucio speed boost? That’s exactly what Junkrat was built to punish. Of course he’s going to supercharge his ult meter when you do that.
Yet people do it all game, every game, and then complain about Junkrat getting his ultimate too quickly.
I mean, people are still QQing about junkrat’s ult charge even after he got booted down into the D-tier this patch. I mean Junkrat damage per game is down by around half with the new grenades. He can’t land grenades which means he can’t generate ult unless you’re point blank or mobbed into such a cluster that he almost doesn’t need to aim.
So people group up and then sit there and wonder why their supports are dying to a riptire every 45 seconds.
I’m betting that int 28 seconds one the other team had a Roadhog.
Did they/you?

Lol comparing pulse bomb which usually gets a single kill to the team wiping dragon strike is ridiculous.

Team wiping? WHO? LOL oh a combo? yeah lets nerf team work cus you cant win.
Sorry to the Hanzo mains that are still under the delusion that Hanzo is fine as he is right now.
Double points if said Hanzo main claims that being OPAF is ok because Hanzo was a troll pick for 2 years.

My fastest grav was i think 40-50 seconds, fissure had a shatter, used it, and got another shatter in 12 seconds, ive gotten 4 tracer pulses in one really long fight, and ive seen people get 2 deadeyes in one team fight. i just think storm bow needs to be nerfed slightly. Id say that brigs ultimate charge is pretty high too, but no one says anything about that either.

Ok, too many people are going about this the wrong way. People keep stating that other DPS can get the same ultimate charge. Has everyone forgotten how McCree used to get complaints about his flashbang FTH combo deleting tanks?
The main issue about Hanzo right now is he can pull off really ridiculous feats where he forces enemies out of position, burst down shields quickly, flanks with no worries, one-shots tanks and supports alike.
Unlike McCree, whose ultimate is like a do-or-die suicide bomb, Hanzo can one-shot enemy supports while they are out of position.
The same goes for Genji, he has to go in with his dragonblade and be interrupted for whatever reasons, but Hanzo can cast his ulti and proceeds to headshot people.
If you say that EVERYONE is playing that new shiny toy, things are going to get MISERABLE in the future very soon because they learn how to utilize ******** (inserts whatever curse word imaginable).

which then raises the question, will it come to this point, where Geoff follows up with his statement.
God knows Bastion and Sombra were ruined after their buffs/reworks.

Yeah Hanzo is ruining comp right now. It’s not just storm arrows his primary fire is too strong. Why use McCree over him?
Don’t worry, they’re going to reduce the damage by a whopping 12.5%! (10 damage per arrow)
And it’s ok that Hanzo can get his ult 3 times during which McCree gets 1 ult. That’s ok. Everything is ok. /sarcasm
I personally don’t have a problem with Hanzo’s ult charge rate since it’s not a particularly strong ult unless combined. Like it’s good and all, but often it doesn’t get many kills and it’s better at zoning. Same as McCree’s ult often gets the McCree killed and only gets 1 person, maybe 2 if he’s lucky.
The thing is, and this is what I think most peoples problem is, is that yes you could get it that quickly before if you landed lots of shots, but now with his new ability its a lot easier to sneak in the damage you need to get that ult charge.
It’s possible for Genji to get dragonblade in about 5 seconds if he swiftstrikes through the team and gets resets
People were upset that McCree got a flashbang combo with CC. Not because he could tankbust, because he was literally designed to be a tankbuster.
Hanzo’s exactly where he should be. People should look back at some closed beta/promo material. Back then, Hanzo was literally classified as an Offense hero.
He’s finally escalated to a A/B-Tier pick. The nerf to Storm Arrow reduces his DPS output just a tad, and he’ll be right as rain.
