Storm arrow needs work

When a Hanzo has the opportunity to kill a tank every 8 seconds, I have to question how balanced this ability is. I’ve seen a Hanzo wipe out every non-tank character with a single use of this ability… what the actual hell is going on here. Who thought this was a solid idea? Lower the cooldown at least? This is about as cancerous as Mercy’s old team rez in the right hands.

it’s already getting overnerfed, what else you want

70 damage isn’t an overnerf when 80 was too much to begin with

it kinda is as it was under powered as he couldn’t ability one shot
anymore AND he is classified as a sniper.

Mercy can kill any tank… If they stand around like idiots, without situational awareness, or using their defensive abilities. Oh wait like 90% of the tanks who complain.

true. tanks are not supposed to be invincible.

what do you mean “a single use”? it has SIX ARROWS!

You activate the ability and you get 6 rapid shot arrows. That is a single use of the ability.

Lmao what bias. Hanzo can kill Tanks in under seconds with One arrow and instant fire SA, Mercy takes probably 3 times longer or more

I hope they tack a couple seconds onto the cool down as well.

And no they’re not supposed to be invincible, but a single, non-ultimate ability shouldn’t be able to take them down. They’re there to absorb damage and Storm Arrow puts out up to 160 damage per shot if you get 6 consecutive headshots. That’s more health than almost 2 tanks combined.

3 headshots on Orisa = death, a tank that relies on using a deployable shield. Hanzo gets behind the shield? Pop, you’ve got a dead Orisa. 4 headshots on a Roadhog? Pop, dead Roadhog. All 6 on a Reinhardt or D.Va? Dead tanks. It’s ridiculous.

which tank is stupid enough to just stand there and do nothing?

With his new Lunge ability Hanzo can just leap into your face and shoot point blank.

Most tanks don’t, but because of the size of the projectile hit-boxes and how slow the tanks move, it’s not rocket science for a decent enough player to line up headshots when the ability is active.

then do something (zarya bubble, roadhog hook, rein charge, orisa fortify, dva boosters, ect)

You’re assuming they have the time to react to it. Majority of the time you don’t.

which hanzo goes flanking? maybe your team is solely reliant on you to protect their 5 dps composition.

one button press. very hard.

Which Hanzo goes flanking? Since he got the dash which Hanzo DOESN’T go flanking?
