Replacements for storm arrows

General Discussion
1

We all know hanzos storm arrows were a replacement for scatter

But it is still feels cheap and dirty

So why not replace it with an arrow ability that rewards skill

Idea 1

Explosive tips

Hanzo has 3 charged explosive arrows that deal massive damage on direct impact but less if shot at the ground

Damage
150 for impact
75 for ground
Area of effect 5M impact, 10M ground
Impact time till detonation 1.5 seconds
Ground time till detonation 3 seconds
Cooldown 10 seconds
Rate of fire as fast or slow as normal
Time of usage 6 seconds

EX. Arrows require pullback
EX. Arrows cannot crit
EX. Arrows can multikill

Idea 2
Homing arrow

I know people will hate this but keep with it

Homing arrow is a special shot that has no potential of one shotting. Instead it weakens any enemy, regardless of health, to 75hp or if below 75hp down to 25hp. This will keep the balance of the arrow with skill, because it requires a second arrow to finish off any target

Cooldown 12 seconds
Range 25m

Hanzos is the least skillful

Not biased. Hanzos E has never been balanced

Scatter was almost balanced. All it needed was a 350 damage cap if hit by multiple shards, to stop 400 HP tank instakills. Nevermind that hitting that “instakill” shot in the ground at further than melee range was very difficulty, except against Bastion and Orisa.

I don’t mind Storm Arrow that much. IMO, Lunge is a bigger power leap than Storm Arrows. Had Hanzo be given only Storm as a replacement for Scatter, he would be fine.
