As Hanzo is about to lose scatter arrow I wanted to take a look at some issues with it and what I don’t have an issue with. I’m not a Hanzo main btw. I think Scatter against tanks was incredibly broken considering they are the easiest targets to use it on and with a damage boost he can single shot most of them which isn’t at all fair due to what a tank’s role is.
I think Hanzo was given scatter due to the fact he is a projectile sniper which also is the reason he does more body shot than widow. Plus the fact that Hanzo didn’t have an escape skill meaning he had to gurantee kills to stay alive.
Now I’ve stated my issue with scatter arrow but there are some cases where I could honestly care less and I wish people would stop complaining. For instance if you die to scatter as certain heroes I honestly…don’t care. Heroes such as Junkrat, Bastion, Torb , Sym and Moira and Pharah. I’ll go on to explain these. Starting with junkrat because if you die to scatter as Junkrat I mean your whole kit is similar to that one skill. You can spam down a hall way while grenades just ricochet and I’ve seen more accidental kills by just the impact of a junkrat grenade alone also the fact that he can gurantee kills with those two mines. So yeah junkrats dont have my sympathy. Onto Moira and Sym who have similar reason. On Moira you can basically drain one squishy with that orb and drain alone and you have a crazy amount of sustain where your opponent basicalyl has to clutch to beat you. Especialyl against other healers its ridiculous. Sym basically can follow anyone on her screen to get kills so no sympathy there either also when she gets a free beam upgrade where as a tank like Zarya has to work for it. If he kills bastion well… Hanzo is a strong bastion counter also thats one of the punishments for going into turret mode with a static defense same with torb. Finally with Pharah, come on what are you doing if you die to scatter as pharah… just yesterday I killed a pharah who chased me and landed on the same roof as me in close quarters thats just stupidity. I just think there are valid and invalid complaints about scatter thats all
