i totally understand that this sounds crazy, but i feel all hitscan have been nerfed just as much as hanzo has.
not even sojourn can 1 shot, cassidy is somehow worst, ashe is considered even worst than him, and soldier is just a tickle monster like tracer at range.
completely welcome to criticism, but i shouldnt have to have god like mechanics to play hitscan which is why i play projectile and flex dps now.
I’d give this bait a 2/10. The pieces were there for something great, but just like Sword Art Online they were poorly utilized.

things take longer to die as well as all hitscan being bad at range, bastion recon actually feels really good in comparison
2/10 is a pretty high score for a frolick post. I’ll give this a 0,5/10 since I have taste and SAO deserves the popularity

I’m not very well versed in the Frolick cinematic universe, so I’m not giving them negative points just for existing. From what I’ve seen, they’re just garden-variety.

Given the projectile size increase, they lowered the skill floor for hits and to the point a COD player could pick the game up and get to play at minimum.
In regards to this post all the hits and are super dominant in the game
is this the place where I can use the word…
skill issue?

Soujourn isn’t even hitscan so there was no point to mention her in the post lmao
The railgun is hitscan, and the “projectile” moves at 160 m/s

She’s still not a hitscan though
Is that based on bias against hitscan or bias against me?
Trouble is I’m not trolling, and quite obviously you have no idea what it looks like otherwise this post would be reportable, alas
Because they tickle you from range?
Ahh the great joy of humor, you needed that joke of a comment to distract from the serious discussion you were in.
Can sojourn 1 shot to the head without mercy or not?
Serious question is ana hitscan or projectile?
Oh no it’s not fun when other people aren’t supporting your delusion like sheep, i genuinely enjoy talking to the mentally avante garde
of course she can, just pepper some damage and they’re literally in death range of railgun…
real life bullet isn’t hitscan either, and it’s not like you’re going to try dodging the projectile

No, I can agree with OP. The other hitscans aren’t cute robots with charming mannerisms to show their personalities kn lieu of being unable to communicate in spoken langauge. Recon Bastion best hitscan 2024.

Look, I mean this in the “I want to laugh with you but also this is serious” kind of way. It sounds crazy because it kind of is my friend haha.

If you look at the hitscan heroes you’ll see that most of them have a “projectile” component in their kit: Soldier’s Helix rockets, McCree’s grenade, etc. They’re classified “hitscan” according to the main threat of their kit, which in both cases is their hitscan primary fire. While no one denied that Sojourn’s primary fire is a formidable source of damage and happens to be “projectile”, her main source of threat is hitscan, hence she is grouped with the hitscan heroes by the community.

I don’t know what rank you play at, but this is a very odd take. I play at high Masters/low GM Hitscan is insane right now, and has never been easier with enlarged sizes, and the fact they have faster rates of fire that can apply the DPS passive easily with high efficiency.
Ashe is still really good, Tracer is overpowered, Soldier is decent, Sojourn (projectile and hitscan hybrid) is crazy strong, Widow is kind of niche but still good, Sombra is criminally underrated, Bastion hardly gets played since he’s so easy to punish with his massive model.
Junk got buffs, but is still bad. Hanzo is absolutely terrible and boring to play and needs a Mercy (who’s weak) to function. Pharah gets shredded by hitscan though still decently playable. Genji is kind of mid. The only good projectile DPS right now are Torb, Echo, and Sojourn.

Is that a SWARD ORT OOONLOOON REFERENCE!?
MY NAME IS KLEIN
Because their damage is more consistent then projectiles, it’s very easy to hit people with hitscan weapons than projectile, so in long ranges hitscans dominate every other type of projectile
Both
???
Both Cassidy and Soujourn are incredibly strong.
