So they gonna nerf most of heroes hp for hanzo 1shot

so they gonna nerf most of heroes hp so hanzo can 1 shot again?

i heard this on twitter alot and reddit AMA that in order hanzo to gain his oneshot again they are going to nerf heroes hp so hanzo can oneshot them

most of heroes that going to be nerfed are mostly who are mobile or who has big damage / big utility

so that means? genji? soujourn? mcree ?
utility? basicly all s upport heroes to 225?

i dont get it, why nerf alot of heroes just for hanzo alone

I don’t think so. One theory is they might bring some heroes down to 225 with some armor, with the recent armor changes it kinda makes sense, like for Genji and Sojourn maybe being the more likely candidates for this.

I didn’t think about it but Tracer 150 with armor could happen too.

idk man genji with 225 hp seems trash tier

he cant even solo kill anything right now vs equal skill player

if he was to get 225 hp he need compenstation, like more damage to his shuriken

I don’t think they are doing any of this specifically for Hanzo, perhaps they’ve realized a certain chatacter is overtuned with the season 9 change.

Though, I was wondering what they meant by “mobile heros” too. Like, are Moira, Mercy, and lucio considered mobile? What about genji, sojourn, soldier?

Hanzo is the devs favorite.

In Ow1 it was Tracer.

Or you could ask the traitors who back stabbed the shimmada dragon in a cowardly act and didn’t even have basic decency to acknowledge ruining the primary of a iconic hero of 7 years to revert his one shot back and let them know they can also take their increased aimhitboxes back , shimmada don’t roll that way.

Ya it definitely won’t work and will be reverted.

Which is why this is another L change .

Atmost sombra is the only hero who can take that nerf and even her it wouldn’t be fair as her getaway at low health would be nerfed.

It’s like they don’t have the humbleness to acknowledge missteps and roll back.

Instead they double down on it with more mistakes

I hope it’s just flat reducing their hp and not replacing it with armor. Both would help Hanzo, but the second one would hurt a lot of other heroes unnecessarily.

Sojourn and Genji absolutely do not need armor.

Yes nerf tracer to 225 hp so hanzo can one shot her because she has 250 now!

Tracer, sojourn and cass are S tier right now, and need a nerf anyway

“Most” is an exaggeration.

Realistically it’s going to be a handful that have a good case for deserving it.

Genji and Cassidy are unlikely. I wouldn’t think they’d want to give Hanzo that kind of advantage over heroes that are supposed to thrive in Short and Midranged combat, at least not without a Damage boost. Which is where they’re at right now.

Tracer is well under Hanzo’s breakpoint already.

The only support I see it likely happening to is Mercy she has plenty of evasion that gives her advantage over Projectiles already. Baptiste and Kiriko arguably warrant it, but Kiriko is a Favored Child, and I honestly feel like the only reason they haven’t done this for Baptiste already is because of Lore. They don’t want to give him Less Hp than a variaty of characters he clearly looks physically stronger or equal to

I’m just going to point out that OW is a team game and the devs have gone on record to say that they don’t factor 1v1’s in their balancing decisions.

a genji is a character who specialize on 1v1, his dash and deflect are design to do that

but now long range heroes can even do better than genji in close range 1v1, like soldier / sojourn, mcree, ashe, torb, heck even sym is lethal if u can get atleast lvl 2 beam

That is the Blizzard way.

How is that different from what the OP said? Armour blocks 5 damage. Hanzo crit is 240-5 is 235. That is still a 1-shot.

Sojourn especially doesn’t need armor. She’s hard meta. We don’t need to solidify that abomination anymore. :sob:

Totally agreed. And honestly I think in a majority of cases it’s a mistake to give armor to squishies with a few exceptions. I think it makes sense for Brig’s hero fantasy as well as Bastion. And for Bastion really needs it for balance too. I think it makes sense for Torb’s hero fantasy, but honestly I wish he didn’t have it because of overload. Aside from that, I don’t think any other DPS or supports should really get armor. It’s best to balance them in other ways.

TBH, undoing the s9 health buff for the benefit of Hanzo sounds like wishful thinking at best, and disinformation at worst.
