it seems unfair hanzo has more damage potential than widow i just dont get why hanzo can get away with that and the unnecessary dodge ability who the hell gave it to him? i thought snipers can rely on their weapon not to give them extra broken abilities

One’s a projectile the other is a hitscan.

Weird question. While Hanzo is projectile and incosistent on long range shots, Widows so called falloff only matters in like 4 spots in the whole game…beside she is hitscan, and deals only 300 dmg

It’s because blizz has no idea what they are doing anymore.

Most Hanzo players ive seen at higher ranks dont really play him at the ranges widow players snipe at. He is more consistent from close-mid range. Lomg range is either really lucky or the person was practically still.

Widow is still broken.
Hate games ruined by her because someone has god flicks and they always win the duel.
If she’s going to stay as a sniper, they need to give her proper sniper drawbacks.
Single shots. Actual reloads. No Power Gauge. No damn wall hack!
like removing any form of mobility on snipers I agree
Forget hanzo. Why does MEI have no damage falloff?
Because he uses projectiles I suppose but it doesn’t explain the lack of reload and all his shots are almost completely silent.

because she cant 1 shot, she has delays on secondary, has very poor cc, 0 mobility, no spam damage, cryo is a death sentence, crap wall which is somewhat useful on like 2 maps where there’s a choke and even there it breaks instantly, crap ult which is only useful for solo ulting
shocking right

Because Hanzo isn’t a hit-scan.
Hitscan has falloff.
Projectiles don’t.
It’s always been that way since game was released with 2 exceptions, which have been changed to be inline with the rest.

Because from the range Hanzo would have fall-off, his arrows are already insanely unreliable.
Due to his arrow speed revert, you have to play Hanzo from close-mid range. Making him have fall-off would realistically change nothing but weaken an already weak and unreliable part of his kit.

she doesn’t deal any higher the 250, i also find it funny that you said rolled your eyes when you mention it, as if that isn’t some of the literal highest in the game
he doesn’t have reload because he would have to reload after every shot, think mei and ashe are reloading simulators? BAM hanzo has to reload now, HAVE FUN.
just imagine the hell that would be.

Because he doesnt have the luxury of a scope and is not hitscan?
Are we seriously commenting on lunge when widow has grapple which has been argued to be one of the best escape abilities for a sniper?
He has to rely on a projectile to shoot across the map without a scope and adjust for travel time while widow has to rely on a hitscan bullet and scope.
him having lunge and wall climb is equivalent of widow having grapple.
Sure remove his lunge for him being sniper but if thats the case remove grapple coz its only fair then…
grapple has a MUCH longer cooldown then lunge, not to mention hanzo’s wall climb

At least he no longer has scatter arrows, that was broken AF

grapple essentially puts widowmaker out of harms way. you can use wall climb and lunge but that doesnt put him as far as widow does. Not to mention where would widow would be playing is much more risky spot for her enemies than where hanzo would be.
So for example if a monkey dva focus a widow and the grapples they wasted their mobility and fed ultcharge for a failed attempt because when they try to reach her again she is with her team with their peel and they can just rush that.
Hanzo has to front line to reliably dish out damage and he needs to use lunge responsibly because lunge doesnt not save hanzo from monkey.
Lunge puts hanzo away by 7.75m while monkey range is 8.00m yeah he can all climb but hed have to worry about dva too.
Grapple might be on a long cooldown but it does wonders interms of escapae unlike hanzos lunge and wallclimb (which btw wouldnt be usefull if he is at high ground already or if he is in a spot where it cant help him reach highground)
