…deserves to play against people with perfect headshot accuracy every game.
Yes I just got headshot.
Yes it was by a Hanzo.

But was it from across the map around a corner while the Hanzo was asleep and holding down the space bar with his face?

Whoever decided headshots should have a 2.0 multiplier is one of the only devs I have respect for.

Players ought to be rewarded for good aim. Kudos, devs!

Well, I could see them reducing headshot damage to 1.5x in OW2.
i miss the days of getting killed from around the corner by random scatter arrows

problem is, some heroes have bigger heads than others, (compare orisa vs ana or hanzo critbox) and then theres hammond who can hide his head completely

While i agree it’s super annoying from heroes like hanzo, the simple fact of the matter is that if the headshot multiplier is not valuable enough, then the incentive for aiming for the head becomes too low, since you’d need a much higher percentage of headshots to make up for the additional misses.
I’d rather have headshots do high damage or the game would just be dumbed down by everyone aiming at torsos and bodies.

Headshots doing more damage has been a thing in gaming forever.

In Cs;go, a headshot does 4 times as much damage.
In Rainbow 6, a headshot is always a kill.

Complaining about headshots NOW in the games lifespan? You should have been there from launch to early 2018 where the attack hitboxes were way more bigger/lenient across the board for most of the cast.
It really is a skill shot now by a vast margin.
I don’t have a problem with headshots, but Overwatch significantly favours burst hitscan or fast-projectile heroes capable of headshotting over characters that can’t.
If they’re going with 5v5 then they need to seriously re-evaluate the power balance. I don’t think this necessarily means nerfing the headshot multiplier, but it might.

Most games have headshots do more damage.
If headshot multplier wasnt a thing here people would just be spamming easier body shots.

Hey, at least you’re not getting insta-killed by snipers body shotting you from a mile away, like in every other fps. God snipers ruin those games so much.
That doesn’t exist, though, unless they’re using a bot.
Hitting 2 shots in a row is harder and should have a higher reward.
In other games headshots usually 1hko you so it is not like it is the worst or anything.
I think there should be piercing projectiles, so we can do double and tripple hs with it. Also wallbangs like in cs 1.6. If widow now gutted so hard and have to litteraly sit in spawn, or at “kephrii angles” cause there a balls and winstons with other infinent mobility heroes are securing area, let a girl just spam walls 4head.
