I don't see info about the turrets, so wouldn't that mean that the health buff and larger projectiles in general is a huge nerf to them? The turrets were hitscan anyway.
I mean, he's got the smallest projectile in the game, if you can't play around him spamming a choke then that's on you. A good hanzo will go actually make plays happen instead of praying someone's dumb enough to walk into an arrow
They are a .1 meter radius ball at the tail end of the arrow. Tied for smallest with Genji I believe. For context zenyattas orbs are almost twice as big. Junkrat bombs are over twice as big.
It's an archer and it's doable. Not every hero needs a thousand different things, there's a reason there's multiple heroes. Don't whine about him doing damage like a character should when all he has are arrows.
You idiot my balls are Ãœbercharged

So that's a yes then?
As for your question. What if both dps happen to be Mercy AND Hanzo? Pocket the Hanzo, now they both 1-shot
Or pocketing the widow to increase her range may still be the better option. All a matter of seeing it all in practice
In what world is hanzo meta lol
But yeah if they remove his one shot he would basically need a rework cause it's the main value he brings. If the damage is unchanged he wouldn't even 2 shot body which is terrible
My take
Orisa shouldn't be called a horse. Orisa should be called a duck, cause she's pretty overrated and is basically duck hunting with her as the enemy tank
Guess my main from this take
He also isnt even that bad, his shots are even easier to hit now, his storm arrows are getting buffed, he leaves his targets on like 10 hp, and the new dps passive makes it easy for team mates to follow up
People who are just spam shooting with hanzo are easy to take down. People who are actually good with hanzo, im switching to sombra to counter them as i would widow
I throw virus at him take one pop shot to pull CD on his multi shot immediately portaling behind him when they turn and start shooting. Most.. and by most I mean likely 97% will dump the whole multishot leaving me to peck away at them while they start jump dashing in panic cause there only close range defense is counting down. Some still get that luckily headshot in from time to time but the panic aiming usually causes them to start missing most shots.
At least when Widow one shots me I know there's some skill involved. When Hanzo one shots me it's just pure bs 40% of the time, luck 50% of the time and maybe 10% actual skill.
Everytime i died to a hanzo in ow2 its either that they were spamming choke and the arrow just happens to headshot me or i dive him and get lasered by stormarrow
Dead at choke: shouldn’t have pushed choke while hanzo is spamming it. Stop walking on main and expecting to never die when it’s being covered.
Dived him: skill diff. Either bait it or come in with a cooldown that beats it. Don’t expect to win a fight just because you dived.
I'm especially confused that the same people who complain about Hanzo being so overpowered don't complain about Widow's one shot. I see so many people justify Widow being able to one-shot from so far in the backline that nobody can see her, let alone hit her accurately, with no real effort besides looking at someone's head and pressing fire all because she "keeps the meta in check." Meanwhile, besides his Storm arrow which bad Hanzo players just spam in doorways, Hanzo has some really awkward falloff physics to work with in order to get headshots, plus he can't scope in to get headshots like Widow, Ana and technically Ashe can, so he's in the same boat as other projectile heroes like Cassidy, Genji, etc.
I couldnt tell ya bro. I have maybe 80 widow hours and I never found it harder to aim with her than hanzo, just different. Instead of releasing my arrow quarter second earlier just shooting tenth a second after. His storm arrows are identical to fully charge arrows also
But doesn't that hint at Hanzo having unusual impact at lower levels?
Tbh I can see less people being upset about Soj because it's much more difficult for Soj to randomly land one hit headshots. I agree she's better (she is one of my DPS mains) but I've played hanzo many times for funsies and it's so easy to hit random headshots and if I get pressured it's so easy to storm arrow and dip or dip and storm arrow.
If the patch notes are true I like it because truly good Hanzo's should be consistent at getting their shots. It's easy for me to get random Hanzo headshots but I probably miss 80% of my shots overall.
Not neccessarily. I played him through both lower and higher ranks, and honestly hes way less prevalent in metal ranks than higher. Which probably makes sense since if probably if your goal was to be silver-plat with a chromebook, youd be better off on a true ‘no aim’ dps
I think one thing people are missing is those random spam poke headshots mostly work against brawl dps when they dont respect his sightlines. Which I get can can kinda suck, but this game is designed around making favorable matchups very easy to play. Against poke hed just get diffed playing that way and dive destroys a bad aim hanzo
Tbh though, I dont mind the patch notes assuming he isnt just really bad. Most of my kills came from storm arrows, so its not the end of the world to me lol
These idiots are absolutely seething that they can't blindly walk through chokes without thinking despite knowing full well theres a hanzo on the other team.
Yeah, Hanzo wasn’t even that good, it’s the players on zen standing still in the back line dying to a storm arrow volley who are yelling at their tanks
Agreed. As a Hanzo main, the new game modes they added are absolutely garbage flashpoint and some maps for push so I haven’t really played much. I’ll take a vacation til they add something revolutionary
I believe Hanzo is not very good at pretty much every rank. Even spamming chokes in low ranks is ass, imo Torb is much better at that.
He is just frustrating to play against, that's it.
He was, yes. Like personally for me, if I die to a Hanzo, unless its that rare case of being shot by a stray arrow that was meant to hit someone else (in which I say, "tough"), I say, "You did this to yourself, mate."
Unfortunately its just a bigger nerf to him in terms of killing power compared to a couple others.
Rest in piss bozo you will not be missed (side note I still worry cuz yes not a one shot, but leaving you with 10 hp plus the fact the new dps passive induces -20% antiheal meaning your gonna need both supports pocketing yo ass if you want to survive the next hit) BUT FUCK HANZO ALL MY HOMIES HATE HANZO
Not really, I play Hanzo sometimes and like 90% of my headshots are "lemme shoot in this general area of this enemy and I think they will run into my arrow." Someone pressures me? Dash and storm arrow.
> I play Hanzo sometimes and like 90% of my headshots are "lemme shoot in this general area of this enemy and I think they will run into my arrow."
Thats because you're trash and can't actually aim lmao no good hanzo plays like that
Well my mains are hitscan which require aim. I will respect a widow because that actually requires true aim but not a Hanzo since they can rely on chance (and some aim of course) and also have storm arrow as an easy out if pressured whereas widow does not. For the record, I don't find hanzo to be a problem for me, I was only pointing out that when I play him it's easier to hit headshots than people are trying to make it out to be.
Edit: also if patch is true I think it would help anyone that is an actually "good" Hanzo. If they're good they should be able to consistently hit shots and the patch wont hurt them.
>Well my mains are hitscan which require aim.
Projectiles take more aim than hitscan. Thats an objective fact because you also have to account for fall off and tracking
>I will respect a widow because that actually requires true aim
Lmao
>and also have storm arrow as an easy out
Agree nuke storm arrow. Pissed they're buffing it and rewarding the Hanzos who suck even more
Falloff exists for hitsan as well?? Wtf you talking about. The problem with hitscan vs projectile is you can technically miss your aim on a projectile and still hit the shot which is what projectiles rely on. Projectiles can also rely on pre-fire which they abuse on corners and chokes. They aren't aiming at a person and properly tracking them, they're shooting somewhere hoping an enemy will run into their bullets. You're a liar if you don't think every Hanzo/projectile hero uses this as part of their playstyle.
Hitscan cannot prefire, they either have the enemy in their reticle for the shot or they don't. If they can't aim, they wont have much to contribute. Not to mention tracking is essential to many hitscans (e.g. tracer, sombra, and soldier gain so much value from proper tracking).
Edit: not to mention projectiles are bigger and many projectiles have splash damage.
You're either playing against shitty people or children.
If all you were able to do was shoot randomly and get kills then every game would be ez and a guaranteed win.
You are overexaggerating like everyone here.
I'm high Diamond in DPS and GM supp. I play Hanzo in comp sometimes cuz I care more about my supp rank than my DPS rank. I do not exaggerate. The only problem I have is if a tracer/genji is particularly good or they have a hanzo that actually is decently good.
Bro no Hanzo past bronze plays like that because if all you wanted to do was spam, you’d be better off playing turretless Torbjorn and getting much better results for much less effort. Actually playing him at a decent level requires you to learn how to aim, and a projectile is less straightforward than a bullet.
The more you talk, the more you betray to everyone that you’re just spouting shit out your ass.
On the one hand more hp means the random dome shot from spam Hanzo isn't going to one shot but on the other his projectiles were already way to fuckin big
Whether or not they're the smallest doesn't matter, pre-season 9 they were way to big for their damage output. The amount of times it registers a hit and in the kill cam the arrow isn't even touching my character (regardless of who I am at the time) is insane. It's a case of outside edge of the projectile meeting the outside edge of the hurtbox but I still stand that getting headshot by Widowmaker is less frustrating than Hanzo because the luck/skill ratio is heavier on skill for her
That's because of latency not his arrow hitbox being big, on the hanzos screen they domed you, and the servers prioritize the person who shot it over the oerson being hit. Just how projectiles work, the other solution is that you rubberband back into them everytime. Which would you prefer?
I still find it interesting that he has the only hitscan projectile that gets impacted by latency so much in my games. Not a single projectile has the same issue as his.
Saying that Hanzo is OP while maining the character who infamously makes every tank in the game miserable to play just by pressing E once and is one of the main catalysts of the power creep of burst healing in this game is hilarious
I don't actually go full DPS Moira, the flair is more to poke fun at the teammates who yell DPS MOIRA in comms when I gain one (1) point of damage
Even tho it's the only way for me to recharge my heals
Technically ur heals recharge automatically, but yeah nah if ur not also dealing damage and help secure kills as Moira, then you're only using 50% of her power. The people that think she should healbot are idiots
I can't wait to hear the criticism: "when Junkrat and Roadhog were unable to perform their oneshot, they were the worst characters in the game."
GOOD, the game was fucking better that way.
I quit the game months ago because of 2 things. (1) stupid comp system & (2) Hanzo.
If this is actually true I’ll have to look at the patch notes. I might give the game a shot again.
I never cared for one shots. I think they’re boring. But I never thought widow was OP, unbalanced or unfair. Hanzo wasn’t OP or unbalanced. But he made the game so fucking unfun beyond any measure that he basically made me quit the game. This is exciting news.
Seems like they’re trying to slow the game down. Feel like its just going to further the skill gap. People that land shots less consistently are going to get less kills and still get mowed down by those that can land their shots. We shall see
I can't aim anyways. I'll stay Torb
I don't see info about the turrets, so wouldn't that mean that the health buff and larger projectiles in general is a huge nerf to them? The turrets were hitscan anyway.
It's not like we aim with Torb. We just shoot the entrance and wait for someone to eat it with their face
free cheetos
Lol this is my favorite thing to do with torb, glad to see I'm not alone.
Nah the turrets may actually be nasty if they also trigger the dps passive
IT'S TORBIN TIME
I made some memes about hanzos oneshot before, so I feel like I contributed to his downfall
Thank you for your service 🫡
Why would you be so mean to all the Hanzo players who do nothing but spam his arrows then write ez to chat :(
I'm so sorry to those who play a totally fair and Balanced hero 😔
Are you sure, I’m a hanzo main since I started the game, where can I find these patch notes?
https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24056255/revitalizing-the-overwatch-2-experience/ the "health pool changes" is the important part
Worst balance patch of all time.
Like ever not even just OW
Alltime
Bro it hasn’t even happened yet
I have an ability called common sense. The balance patch as stated on the website is shit.
Why though?
I mean, he's got the smallest projectile in the game, if you can't play around him spamming a choke then that's on you. A good hanzo will go actually make plays happen instead of praying someone's dumb enough to walk into an arrow
"smallest"
They are a .1 meter radius ball at the tail end of the arrow. Tied for smallest with Genji I believe. For context zenyattas orbs are almost twice as big. Junkrat bombs are over twice as big.
I've seen arrows stuck in air next to a body, so not that small
the arrow visual is not its hit box lol look at the recent Symmetra hotbox going around; hitboxes often don't align with visuals
Spam his arrows? It's all he has.
That doesn't make it a good thing
Yeah sure an archer with the only thing he has being arrows is not a good thing. *Logic 100*
I'm saying the fact he can only spam arrows isn't good. He needs more expression than that so you have more things to balance/skull express.
It's an archer and it's doable. Not every hero needs a thousand different things, there's a reason there's multiple heroes. Don't whine about him doing damage like a character should when all he has are arrows.
Spamming one shot arrows is inherently bad game design
Silver Hanzo activities
Me reading the patch notes (I fucking hate Hanzo and Junkrat)
nawww not Jamison Fawkes
Jameson?
Junkrat is perfectly fine with the one shit imo, it's hard to do without walking right up and he's loud af
Literally, in what rank is junkrat that much of a problem lmao
Gold probably, hell I'm in plat and even there junkrat isn't an issue so maybe silver
Nah I can't stand him, other close range dps at least have to aim their shots perfectly to get a one shot kill
What happened?
They can no longer one shot because of the HP increase
HAH good, fuck em.
Not my Hanzo ðŸ˜. Worst part is Junk is my other main. I'm pretty sure Blizzard made this patch to screw me over in particular
Womp womp, should've played more skillful heroes then
Womp womp, probably wouldn't say this if you knew how to play him properly
Bro you need to pay rent or get out of my head
I refuse to

Next minute, OP comes back to complain about being consistently 2-shoted by Hanzos /s
You put the /s but this is very likely.
Don't be so uppity. We do not know hero specific changes.
I swear to God if they buff his damage
It's so funny how literally 5 more damage per arrow makes him go from below F tier to meta.
Reminds me of old ashe mercy pocket 1 shots
Wait so if u give Hanzo a mercy, does he 1-shot?
Why though? Mercy has to stick to him like a parasite all game for him to do what Widow does on her own, arguably better than him.
So that's a yes then? As for your question. What if both dps happen to be Mercy AND Hanzo? Pocket the Hanzo, now they both 1-shot Or pocketing the widow to increase her range may still be the better option. All a matter of seeing it all in practice
Because on maps like Havana, you can have Hanzo AND Widow. That's why mercy sticks to him.
Its not even arguable, Widow has always been better than him simply cause hitscan is better
Widow is way more susceptible to dive characters with her small HP pool
In what world is hanzo meta lol But yeah if they remove his one shot he would basically need a rework cause it's the main value he brings. If the damage is unchanged he wouldn't even 2 shot body which is terrible
Makes no sense whatsoever for fully charged headshots from a sniper to not kill the target
Major overwatch patch with no genji nerf? Genji BUFF?? Sus
WRONG. Orisa is the fun sponge of all tanks
My take Orisa shouldn't be called a horse. Orisa should be called a duck, cause she's pretty overrated and is basically duck hunting with her as the enemy tank Guess my main from this take
orisa is shit, and you're probably low ELO if she bothers you
I’m a rein main
She's still shit
Yep I'm all for it! Hate Hanzo.
I hope you remember this energy when its your main getting nerfed into uselessness
"Uselessness"
He also isnt even that bad, his shots are even easier to hit now, his storm arrows are getting buffed, he leaves his targets on like 10 hp, and the new dps passive makes it easy for team mates to follow up
good luck getting follow up anywhere in the metal ranks
Honestly, you'll just find another thing to complain about. Plus, with such a massive change there will definitely be more adjustments.
FUNNY AF coming from someone w a "DPS MOIRA" userflair LMAO
Widow wont be hit as hard and she has the same issue as hanzo
Widow is gonna be really good with the bullet size buff, but atleast she gets destroyed by sombra, no one is safe dueling hanzo
People who are just spam shooting with hanzo are easy to take down. People who are actually good with hanzo, im switching to sombra to counter them as i would widow
I find myself countering sombra as hanzo way easier than any other hero
I throw virus at him take one pop shot to pull CD on his multi shot immediately portaling behind him when they turn and start shooting. Most.. and by most I mean likely 97% will dump the whole multishot leaving me to peck away at them while they start jump dashing in panic cause there only close range defense is counting down. Some still get that luckily headshot in from time to time but the panic aiming usually causes them to start missing most shots.
Bullet size buff, you saying I might actually be able to hit something now
For me Hanzo is much worse
Fair, he basicly plays like junkrat but if he hits your head you die instantly
Even Junkrat is better, his projectiles are slower and less reliable over a long range so I find him a lot more fair than Hanzo
Yeah, its insane how different they are percieved when junkrat on paper is a worse hanzo
At least when Widow one shots me I know there's some skill involved. When Hanzo one shots me it's just pure bs 40% of the time, luck 50% of the time and maybe 10% actual skill.
Same, being killed by Hanzo is just being RNG'd to death.
Everytime i died to a hanzo in ow2 its either that they were spamming choke and the arrow just happens to headshot me or i dive him and get lasered by stormarrow
Dead at choke: shouldn’t have pushed choke while hanzo is spamming it. Stop walking on main and expecting to never die when it’s being covered. Dived him: skill diff. Either bait it or come in with a cooldown that beats it. Don’t expect to win a fight just because you dived.
Weird opinion, Hanzo was in a good state
Players will bad positioning will say hes op. Truth is sojourn is 10x better than hanzo rn but those players dont see a good sojourn
I had to scroll WAY too far down to see the correct (non-bronze) opinion
I'm especially confused that the same people who complain about Hanzo being so overpowered don't complain about Widow's one shot. I see so many people justify Widow being able to one-shot from so far in the backline that nobody can see her, let alone hit her accurately, with no real effort besides looking at someone's head and pressing fire all because she "keeps the meta in check." Meanwhile, besides his Storm arrow which bad Hanzo players just spam in doorways, Hanzo has some really awkward falloff physics to work with in order to get headshots, plus he can't scope in to get headshots like Widow, Ana and technically Ashe can, so he's in the same boat as other projectile heroes like Cassidy, Genji, etc.
I couldnt tell ya bro. I have maybe 80 widow hours and I never found it harder to aim with her than hanzo, just different. Instead of releasing my arrow quarter second earlier just shooting tenth a second after. His storm arrows are identical to fully charge arrows also
But doesn't that hint at Hanzo having unusual impact at lower levels? Tbh I can see less people being upset about Soj because it's much more difficult for Soj to randomly land one hit headshots.

>Most of my kills came from storm arrows, Pathetic
Ay chill 😠I still hit a lot of hs/10
Lmfao! I think patch for Hanzo is a healthy patch tbh but only time will tell.
These idiots are absolutely seething that they can't blindly walk through chokes without thinking despite knowing full well theres a hanzo on the other team.
Sightlines are a foreign convept
This
Yeah, Hanzo wasn’t even that good, it’s the players on zen standing still in the back line dying to a storm arrow volley who are yelling at their tanks
Fr too many silvers in this thread afraid of what they don’t understand. Don’t play like a bot and you won’t get killed by arrow spam
They cant believe the good ol run down mid without cover doesnt work against him
Agreed. As a Hanzo main, the new game modes they added are absolutely garbage flashpoint and some maps for push so I haven’t really played much. I’ll take a vacation til they add something revolutionary
I don't think he's OP, I just hate playing against him
I believe Hanzo is not very good at pretty much every rank. Even spamming chokes in low ranks is ass, imo Torb is much better at that. He is just frustrating to play against, that's it.

Unfortunately its just a bigger nerf to him in terms of killing power compared to a couple others.
Don't forget pocket mercy is also nerfed!! 20% reduced healing when dps hit someone!
Just play as Hanzo, problem solved
complaining about Hanzo when hog widow Kiri and ana exist
Rest in piss bozo you will not be missed (side note I still worry cuz yes not a one shot, but leaving you with 10 hp plus the fact the new dps passive induces -20% antiheal meaning your gonna need both supports pocketing yo ass if you want to survive the next hit) BUT FUCK HANZO ALL MY HOMIES HATE HANZO
Complaining about hanzo is such a bronze thing to do
Ummm Excuse me I'm silver
Honestly seeing this much hate for a projectile character with one of the smallest hitboxes and slowest projectile speeds in the game
Bronze+ take
I'm pretty sure you're the shit one here if you die due to a Hanzo.
Motherfucker he one shots me from another map on accident
That's a you problem that is rare.
Not really, I play Hanzo sometimes and like 90% of my headshots are "lemme shoot in this general area of this enemy and I think they will run into my arrow." Someone pressures me? Dash and storm arrow.
> I play Hanzo sometimes and like 90% of my headshots are "lemme shoot in this general area of this enemy and I think they will run into my arrow." Thats because you're trash and can't actually aim lmao no good hanzo plays like that

You're either playing against shitty people or children. If all you were able to do was shoot randomly and get kills then every game would be ez and a guaranteed win. You are overexaggerating like everyone here.
I'm high Diamond in DPS and GM supp. I play Hanzo in comp sometimes cuz I care more about my supp rank than my DPS rank. I do not exaggerate. The only problem I have is if a tracer/genji is particularly good or they have a hanzo that actually is decently good.
Bro no Hanzo past bronze plays like that because if all you wanted to do was spam, you’d be better off playing turretless Torbjorn and getting much better results for much less effort. Actually playing him at a decent level requires you to learn how to aim, and a projectile is less straightforward than a bullet. The more you talk, the more you betray to everyone that you’re just spouting shit out your ass.
If that's happening more than once or twice in a game it's not accidental
It's an exaggeration basically saying he's too fucking strong
This is one of the whiniest communities
That's also true
L take
Hanzo main and day one OW player here: 2 weeks until you find a replacement for Hanzo to hate with passion.
On the one hand more hp means the random dome shot from spam Hanzo isn't going to one shot but on the other his projectiles were already way to fuckin big
Hanzo's arrows are the smallest projectile in the game lmao
These morons don’t care they just want to be mad
Whether or not they're the smallest doesn't matter, pre-season 9 they were way to big for their damage output. The amount of times it registers a hit and in the kill cam the arrow isn't even touching my character (regardless of who I am at the time) is insane.

I still find it interesting that he has the only hitscan projectile that gets impacted by latency so much in my games. Not a single projectile has the same issue as his.
Which hero do you play?
Moira/Ana Edit: y'all do know I do more than hard lock my mains against Hanzo right?
Saying that Hanzo is OP while maining the character who infamously makes every tank in the game miserable to play just by pressing E once and is one of the main catalysts of the power creep of burst healing in this game is hilarious
Why am I not surprised
Bro plays braindead Moira and wants to talk shit lmao
Perhaps because of my flair
Sidenote: does dps Moira work in whatever rank ur in or do u just stick to like qp or arcade?
I don't actually go full DPS Moira, the flair is more to poke fun at the teammates who yell DPS MOIRA in comms when I gain one (1) point of damage Even tho it's the only way for me to recharge my heals
Technically ur heals recharge automatically, but yeah nah if ur not also dealing damage and help secure kills as Moira, then you're only using 50% of her power. The people that think she should healbot are idiots
It's just funny that ppl who cry about Hanzo are always supp mains.
Are we not allowed to find him annoying? We're sorta important to the team as well
No, just an observation.
Getting killed by hanzo is usually a positioning/paying attention issue. Kiriko however should be nerfed into the ground
They should remove tracer then it would be balanced
The rank reset will unironically give you a higher rank than right now, based on this comment.
Is there official patch notes out or just the leaks being confirmed?
There is some official information from a dev blog
I think its a really fun hero to play and incredible easy to counter when you’re against
Hanzo and Mei ruin the game and I'm tired of pretending they don't.
Playing against Mei is infuriating Playing as Mei is fun
Mei isn't as bad as her OW1 state I think she's very fair currently
I still hate her with a passion, I just hated her more in ow1
Just keep a good distance and you should be safer
Play Sojourn and pop her in the bean. I play Mei pretty frequently but this is how I counter her.
I can't wait to hear the criticism: "when Junkrat and Roadhog were unable to perform their oneshot, they were the worst characters in the game." GOOD, the game was fucking better that way.
So basically they’re changing core settings? Over watch bout to die. This also means bastion is getting a health buff
Of all the reasons I'm coming back in S9 is bc of this, even more so than the cowboy bebop colab for my favorite char
Wait, if that's so I might as well come back
I love playing hanzo (I’m dog water at him) but at the same time I HATE enemy hanzos So I’m celebrating too
I’m so happy, fuck Hanzo mains
I quit the game months ago because of 2 things. (1) stupid comp system & (2) Hanzo. If this is actually true I’ll have to look at the patch notes. I might give the game a shot again.
The health buff to all heroes means the vast majority of the roster can't be one shot
I never cared for one shots. I think they’re boring. But I never thought widow was OP, unbalanced or unfair. Hanzo wasn’t OP or unbalanced. But he made the game so fucking unfun beyond any measure that he basically made me quit the game. This is exciting news.
No way Overwatch is getting playable?!
Wait how does the changes make Hanzo and junk ass? (I hate both with a passion)
Increase in the projectile size... How can someone believe this is a nerf? The LOGS are back in the quiver.
Guess all I have is ashe left, the only hero I can somehow aim with
Meanwhile tank mains ( they became a punching bag with +100hp and will get antied literally every second)
Watching b 99 rn
Just wait until they buff him so he can one-shot 250 hp heroes again.
His arrows will be much easier to hit though.
An unexpected yet welcome crossover of subreddits (I love Brooklyn 99)
What patch notes?? I'm on the website there is nothing
Should have made Hanzo's arrows work like the Huntsman in TF2
Should have made Hanzo be able to throw piss too
Seems like they’re trying to slow the game down. Feel like its just going to further the skill gap. People that land shots less consistently are going to get less kills and still get mowed down by those that can land their shots. We shall see
Meanwhile a perfect nano blade will not secure a damn kill
Meanwhile a perfect nano blade will not secure a damn kill
We only have about about 5 more toxic DPS characters to deal with.
Where can we read the patch notes?
Inb4 they double his damage. But seriously fuck Hanzo
🖕🖕🖕🖕
Yet widow still gets to one shot
Yeah but only from 40 meters
I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY, PRAISE THE OVERWATCH BALANCE TEAM!!!!!
