Stealth Scatter Arrow Buff

General Discussion
1

Went into the practice range and it’s on an 8 second cooldown instead of 10? Is it just me?

Played some quick play and asked others to switch to Hanzo and check, so I’m not going crazy.

Yep it’s on 8s cooldown.

Woah. I always wanted more scatter arrows /s

…did scatter get buffed or was it always this way ?
I swear I remember it being on 10

It says 10 seconds on the wiki.

Seems like it was stealth buffed (if this is true).

I’m so confused right now after reading these.

Yeah it is 8 seconds. Used to be 10. Weird they are buffing it when it is getting removed. My guess is that it is unintentional.

Jeff: Hanzo seems to be getting a lot of hate for his scatter arrow being as strong as a pulse bomb…
Blizzard employee: Yeah, let’s do something about it
Jeff: Lower it’s cooldown…
Blizzard employee: But wh-
Jeff: Silence, worm…
Jeff: I want to see the world burn

Could it have leaked in just like the Sombra changes? Was Volley’s cooldown 8 seconds?

I guess they messed up and this is a preview of rapid fire cooldown.

Thought so too, the changes to Sonic arrow haven’t made it in though (at least not the cool down).

I’m surprised people haven’t noticed and gone into a frenzy with how rage-inducing it is.

can’t post links yet, sry, but, i was curious so i had to look it up, but yeah, it was 10s, who knows what happened, considering they don’t like typing everything out in patchnotes in general, for some reason.

a lot of people have been playing the event, and hanzo isn’t viable during any of the missions, besides lower ranks he doesn’t pop up often in comp, and even then would you notice him scattering you every 8 seconds instead of 10? most people don’t know a lot of heroes cooldowns.

Fair point ,hanzo isn’t the most popular outside of QP.

I hope Hanzo will NEVER be viable.
His playstyle is just cancer to play against.

I’ll try to be nice about Blizzard for once and assume the new ability will be on an 8 second cooldown and somehow, by accident, someone went in and adjusted the code for his cooldown and didn’t fix it.

The whole ‘different devs computers have their own version of the source code’ theory might come into play here as well.

Nice find :slight_smile:
