Increase his lunge cooldown to 7 seconds.
It’s still a short cooldown, but now it’s a decent length that lets dive heroes punish him easier.
My main gripe with him is his survivablity being so high that he’s near impossible to exploit…especially with a pocket.

Reasonable change?

StormArrow = 3 arrows that can’t headshot
Means he’s still good at killing non-Tanks.
But he’s not as good at melting tanks and barriers.

One of smallest head hitbox
Blocked by his bow
Has longest projectile that can headshot
make his arrow not able to headshot you as a projectile. but as hitscan. weird right? keep his arrow a projectile. but only headshots if it hits you in the head initially. his arrow feels magnetized right now because he just drags them across the screen to head shot you and its annoying. especially considering this game hitboxes aren’t exactly pixel perfect.
Also pretty sure replays have been showing the arrow coding being absolute garbo and despite being four movement frames behind target next frame showing a headshot. Even had a friend showing the game indicating Hanzo hitting their foot being a headshot. Hanzo needs a complete overhaul in terms of code along with a rework that isn’t “He can do everything Without Aim!!”

so make it useless?
3 arrows that cant headshot is 210 damage. that’s less than 1 headshot, that takes longer to fire.
there would never be a reason to use it other than finishing super low targets, at which point just use a normal arrow.

Yes yes, all Hanzo needs to be “balanced” is that he can lose in a 6v1 fight versus Dive.
Keep telling yourself that.

- Remove Storm Arrow.
- Bring back Scatter Arrow.
- Code a limitation that no individual hero can be hit by more than 4 scatters at the same time (ie, cap the damage to 300).
There, Hanzo is fixed.

lol you keep telling yourself that making to were hanzo essentially doesn’t have a cooldown everyone else does is okay.
hanzo is fine as he is, if anything was going to be nerfed itd be leap.
this idea you have that storm arrow is some issue is dumb.
you can literally just wait it out and then go back after him.
hanzo hits harder with his normal arrows anyway, 1 storm arrow wont kill a squishy, one normal arrow will.
its best use is shield break, because otherwise you will spend forever shooting shields
even if you were going to nerf hanzo this would do 0 to his viability.
you claim to be a game dev, but you really seem to be bad at thinking of ways to change heros.
I think I’d only reduce the charge time for throwing an arrow at max charge
It’s way faster than widow and it’s more oppressive. After that’s been made I’d see how things go
He’s too opressive and I feel like he has no counters in a 1v1. Even dva, Winston and Hammond who suppose to counter him in a 1v1 struggle killing him because of his ridiculous dmg output. Not to say aiming with the bow actually hides his head hitbox and not only he headshots you in spots it shouldn’t be a headshot, but he also takes less headshots because aiming basically breaks his hitbox
Hard fix needed
Damn I wanna see that. If you ever find it I’ll ask you to show me that video.
Ah yes, his pickrate in GM jumped from 4% to 11%, but that’s normal, right?
Especially when you consider 16.7% pickrate would be equivalent to Hanzo being picked 100% of the time by both teams.

telling lies now are we?
in gm this week he has a 9.5% pickrate
in this month he has a 7.3% pickrate
even if you are trying to cherry pick you are lying now.
I am cherry picking, but he’s been above 11% twice this week.
And his pick rate is on an upward slope trend, so I expect it to go higher than 11%.
Even 9% would be more than double his previous pickrate.
Also his pickrate was especially low on Christmas. And if you take the last 8 days excluding Christmas, he’s looking at a 9.82% “week” pickrate.

ofcourse you are, because using the actual numbers would make you wrong.
you have to intentionally misrepresent to have anything close to a valid point.
“on an upward slope trend” ofcourse he is. EVERY DPS IS because shields have been nerfed and many more dps are viable.
there will always be a best in slot dps.
whats wrong with it being hanzo? hes one of the highest skill requirement heros in the game he SHOULD be the best hero in the right hands.
your insane bias against him makes you lie cherry pick and misrepresent.
who is it going to be then?
who will you accept as top dps pick?
or are you just going to keep whining as long as dps are viable at all?
Even a 9.82% pickrate is pretty insane when compared to other DPS.
and a 9.5% because its NOT 9.82% is only seeable when you cherry pick this weeks stats.
you lie and mislead to try and prove a point.
it only makes you look less believable.
You claim to care about the numbers, but insist on including outliers?
Worst idea: Removing HS
Good idea: Reducing Bodyshots dmg and increasing cooldowns.
