Generalize much? XD I’m gold and have never made a “Hanzo is OP’d plz nerf” post.
Hanzo is actually less of a problem in gold and below than other ranks for a couple reasons:
1.) You still need semi-decent aim to be effective with him. Meaning characters like Junkrat and Pharah are going to outshine him in and around silver/low gold.
2.) Few people gold and below can play Zarya well enough to synergize with him. You see 5+ GravDragon combos in a GM game. You see like 2 in silver-gold games.
I don’t have too much of a problem against him 1v1 down here, even on Tracer. But I know he’s much more of a problem in the higher ranks.
I will say while playing AS him, though, Storm Arrows do feel kinda cheap. You can pretty much gib any squishy that you set your sights on. I can only imagine that’s worse in the higher ranks where Hanzos have better aim.
An ability that can consistently burst down tanks who are close range
Does great damage on close, mid AND long range
Can easily block paths simply by spaming arrows into one diraction
Has a short radius widow ult on a low cooldown
An Ult that is easy to combo which can also provide area denial
Great horizontal and vertical to reposition and escape at will
Huge damage output in general and one shot potential out of any range
and he Is like widow just a thread by being in the game but has lower skill floor which means that you don’t even have to be realy good at him to be impactful
You know i even feel like he is a bit underpowered
so why don’t we just give him back scatter as primary fire
Just to make things fair
Genji always countered hanzo, the problem is people expecting that every character Hard counters another.
It’s not like you pick Genji, instantly the enemy Hanzo dies, same with Genji and Winston, you can’t expect an easy ride just because your character is supposed to counter someone, but yes Genji always countered Hanzo.
