I just dont get it why cass have damage drop off after certain range but hanzo who is using a damn bow pulled by human strength can still one shot across the map or deal 120 dmg per body shot? He literally has everything and he can dominate everyone in the right hand which i recently noticed good hanzo players are increasing in diamond and above comp. He can burst 425 dmg with storm arrow and it can also crit, he can one shot in all range, cant get dived because his goofy lunge, better wallhack, and vertical and horizontal mobility. Just rework him to focus on specific role smh, he is literally overtuned and boring to play against with.

Yes this is true, hanzo is so broken, I just opened t500 stats, looked at dps tab and he dominates all charts on every region. Stats can’t lie, right?

Hitscan confirms damage instantly and doesn’t require you to predict movement. Generally speaking at high levels of performance hitscan is superior for confirming reliable damage as a result. Especially against mobile targets, and when you yourself are using mobility to mitigate damage.
Damage fall-off is the price they pay, and it barely matters because at ranges where fall-off is an issue (save for the likes of Cassidy) travel time is too long for movement to be predictable. Projectiles have to spam likely peeks, corners, etc., to get any value, and that’s mostly luck.
Like it’s not even hard to deal with if you see Hanzo arrows being yeeted somewhere you want to peek you can literally just time your peeks around his draw time assuming you play around his sonic arrow.

A hyper intelligent hamster from the moon crash landed on earth in a gyro sphere and you wanna complain about how the bow does more damage than the gun?

Hanzo is one of the lowest tier dps hero right next to genji and you guys want him deleted. then we have widow and sojourn all the way at the top with way more powerful one shots due to them being hitscans and you still rather complain about hanzo? I often wonder if you guys really play the game. Idk why you would even bring up cassidy, they are completely different heroes lol.

Have you ever used a bow and arrow in rl? They are meant for mid-range.

I have. I also have some experience sports shooting with rifles and handguns and they’re just better. Let’s not bring real life into this.

Why are you assuming that i complained against a spamzo who only can spray and praý? In higher rank, im not talking t500, its more common to see a good hanzo after 1 or 2 matches that its so damn annoying to die to stupid one shot.
I partially agree with this cause Hanzo already 50% plays himself because of the random headshots, I feel like his projectile size is too big for him to be viable for in your face close range to long range, it is kinda rediculous cause like widow and ashe are terrible at close, and even medium in some cases. Basically I’m saying that if you don’t pick something to go against hanzo, which is really frustrating as a support player, you basically lose by default. Idk what supports are supposed to do against it.
Not hating on hanzo, but rather why people don’t understand how to deal with it…
I will say though, idk how I feel about the storm arrow ricochet, it’s feeling like it was added in attempt to make it feel like scatter arrow, I always felt iffy about that addition, but it usually doesn’t make a difference.
But yeah, how, as a support player, do I deal with it when he’s ignored? I’m not even killed by hanzo’s typically cause of positioning, but everybody else does lmao.
He has advantages at all ranges because he is a projectile hero vs Hitscan. Contrary to popular belief hanzo really isn’t even that good right now

That’s true, but just wait for when widow/sojourn are nerfed into the ground, we all know it’s coming, then you’ll see it
Hanzo still won’t be broken even then.

Not broken, but still a pain in the a- in at least every other game because he can frontline, and be kinda like a long range junkrat lmao. When Winston is hard meta after soujorn is nerfed, hanzo and reaper is probably gonna be what people play, maybe ashe in place of hanzo sometimes but she only has coach for mobility rather than lunge and wall climb. Just a speculation.
I did not say that’s all Hanzo can do. A good Hanzo can be an extremely dangerous duellist at close to mid-range where prediction shots are viable. However as long as you play around sonic arrow at ranges where falloff is an issue for the better hitscans Hanzo should never be hitting you on purpose if you move well and respect the spam.
So physics is perfectly fine with a dragon coming out of said bow but not absence of non-conservative forces?
Not to cut your wings off or anything but diamond isn’t a high rank.
this game has a talking monkey who has a higher iq than most humans
lets not bring real life into this game lol
