Why are people complaining about storm arrows

what they should do is increase beams damage for the first part then just get rid of the double damage at half health

Yeah, itā€™s weird. But iā€™m also not really looking forward to hitscan Hanzo to be fair.
I see the challenge to hit a moving target from far away as the most fun thing in playing Hanzo. What i donā€™t like when i play vs a Hanzo is the constant arrow spam untill you unluckily get one shot in the head when the shield is down for 1 second or so.

doesnā€™t mean it canā€™t be improved more tho

Because he shouldnt be bursting down tanks

I was a Tank main who played up to a Diamond level during when Hanzo had scatter.

Never died to a scatter instakill.

That said, check the math section. Thatā€™s why StormArrow is a problem.

I prefer Scatter over Spam Ability #19283727

Scatter actually had interested applications if they had tried to balance it instead of just trashing it.

I dislike it because itā€™s bad enough a sniper can paper over their main weakness (Dive) with mobility. Ashe has coach gun, Widow has Grapple, Hanzo has Lunge. Then in the case of Ashe and Hanzo, coach gun and lunge do big damage to diving tanks, nullifying what should be the strength of Dive.

Hanzo needs a weakness or heā€™ll just br the next McCree.

i donā€™t like randomly getting bursted down by hanzo, as a tank for diverting my attention literally anywhere else for less than a second because he used fan the arrows
itā€™s not really too busted, itā€™s just obnoxious

itā€™s also not very sniper-esque of him to basically pull out a machine gun

Because it saves a sniper from having the ability every good sniper should haveā€¦aim no matter the situation.

Storm arrow is just lazy lol almost stun/FTH lazy. A close second really.

Maybe because it does more damage than pulse bomb ult :man_shrugging:
Has no falloff and is deadly at any range, esp point blank :man_shrugging:
And can headshot making it even more egregious :man_shrugging:

Iā€™d trade this whole ability with its trash damage output for faster s10 projectile speed.

Scatter was better than Storm for two main reasons:

  1. Scatter had a unique ricochet mechanic, and every time you used it as intended and get a kill, it was satisfying. Storm is just spam.
  2. Despite popular belief, Scatter required more skill than Storm, because you had to hit at a very precise angle to actually make it an instakill.

Only fix Scatter needed was a damage cap of 300. Something like after being hit with 4 shards, you become immune to the other 2, so that it canā€™t instakill squishy tanks.

Because Storm arrows have become way too powerful
they deal way too much damage way too fast at infinite range
now you might say: ā€œIā€™ve never sniped anyone with storm arrowsā€
yea because your not supposed to
but from across the map he can deal 700 damage to Tanks or Shields in a few seconds

neither do you have to with storm

not anymore

no
because their genuinely busted
Hanzo is a sniper
WHY DOES HE HAVE A TANK BUSTER ABILITY
it doesnā€™t help since his arrows are logs, he can spam them and is just as good in close range as he is long range
