I liked the old Hanzo. The one who only had scatter arrow and sonic arrow. He could climb pretty much anything and his ult was pretty good. So, I feel like the lack of abilities for him balanced him out in game. But then you guys gave him those damn storm arrows. When you did that, Hanzo became overpowered and annoying. He gets play of the game literally every match and it pisses me off. If it’s truly a really good Hanzo player that gets play of the game then that’s awesome. They probably dominated most of the match with him anyways. But it seems to be everyone who gets it. I thought “if you can’t em, then join em” so I decided to play Hanzo. I was absolute garbage with him before you buffed him but as soon as I played him after the buff, I dominated the match. I got play of the game 4 matches in a row. When you look at the difficulty level for Hanzo it says that it is very difficult to play him. But that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. He’s too easy to play and it wasn’t like this before the buff. Think that this is only in quick play hell? Nope. It’s in comp as well. I was honestly just going to try to ignore it and I kind of did for a short while. But very recently, you guys buffed him again. AGAIN?!?!?! You guys gave him this lunge that gives him more mobility and helps him escape situations that could have him killed. Please for the love of god stop buffing him.
The community couldn’t stand scatter arrow because many Hanzo players relied on it as a crutch because of their inability to aim, and it felt like a cheap shot to die to. That is why it was redesigned.
Is he slightly overtuned in his current state? Possibly, but to back up the feelings of frustration about his recent power surge, we have to bite the bullet and wait for the winrates and data to come in to know one way or the other.
I’m not sure how well connected or informed you are in general but Hanzo got his Lunge and Storm Arrows at the same time.
Hanzo also received a buff to his arrow speed which is probably why you feel like you are doing so well with him, despite being “garbage” before.
Old Hanzo was severely gimped by his weapon but that arrow speed buff allowed him to work as effectively as other DPS heroes.
I’m no forum expert but all I can see from your information is that this is your only post… but I will guess that you’ve played this game for a while and assume that your skills in other aim reliant heroes have simply transferred over to Hanzo now that his mechanics work better and that is why you (and many other people) feel like he is “suddenly too easy”.
Heros how have better ults than Hanzo. Solider 76 aimbot. Reins shatter. Zaray grab. D va bomb. Sombra emp. Tracer pulse bomb before the nerf. phraha barrage. Genji dragon blade. All the support ults execpt anas.
I have played some games with the new Hanzo, and I was not dominating any games with him.
He still requires ridiculous mechanical aim (seriously, I can’t aim those arrows to save my life)
As for Storm Arrow, I still feel it requires the same degree of aim as his left click. It is more spammable on tanks, but on anything else, it requires good aim.
Honestly, I believe these changes were for the better. Now if a Hanzo kills me, I know he AIMED at me and got a good shot on me.
I still don’t quite understand what makes new Hanzo a 1 star hero.
Went from terrible on Hanzo to Great now that you have to click 6 times and track a target to delete someone with storm rather than click and aim once with scatter.
Hanzo’s ult is only good when combined with graviton, and the enemy team doesn’t have a zen. Getting one kill outside of a graviton is an amazingly good ult for hanzo.
They gave him this ability to shoot I think 6 arrows in rapid succession. They also gave him a mobility ability which allows him to lunge in certain directions to get out of danger
