I hope we see a lot of Hanzo in pro games
Love the movement buff while aiming

good to see you don't need to aim again

What?

they changed the projectile hitboxes not the character model hitboxes, its still not like it was before the hitbox nerf its somewhere in between. Still though nn for them to buff his projectile speed while also buffing the hitboxes people wanted faster projectile speed because they were nerfed now you get both? Was a bad buff. Movement speed was good, they also could have lowered the arrow drop off some instead of buffing the projectile speed cause now hes basically as good as widow maker at long ranges, the speed they travel effectively buffs both travel time and lessens the arc since they get there faster. They dont think before they act on some of these buffs/nerfs i swear some of them are just common sense.

Widow is still way way better at getting the head shots for long range
Hanzo's drop off and the fact that they still do have some time to move makes it way harder

hanzo is about 300x better close/mid range, can 1 shot a tank with scatter+melee if he hits it properly, moves faster while "scoped" and effectively has no drop off now due to the increase in arrow speed AND doesn't have to lead his shots nearly as far. His ult is also better, sonic arrow has more uptime due to widows ult charge nerf and he has more effective maneuverability. Long range widow is slightly better but were talking really long range, like the type of long range that really doesn't happen in overwatch except for a choice couple spots. Idk if you have played ptr but surefour said and i quote "hanzo is hitscan now" it literally feels like it unless your shooting 2-3 football fields away. It was a very poorly thought out buff.

I completely agree. I'm just saying he's not always a direct improvement.

I think snipers in general are a little broken in some scenarios in this game and super frustrating to play against without a really strong Genji or Winston player (although a lot of the time there's still nothing they can do if it's long range enough or a spot that can quickly be reinforced)

When Widow was at her peak the game was kind of stupid to watch sometimes.

the only thing that makes hanzo a little less annoying is the fact that good ones play in the enemys teams face and not 500 miles away, meaning if they make a mistake you can capitalize on it much easier. I love hanzo one of my most played characters but they should have just buffed the movement speed and lowered or removed the projectile arc and left the speed of the arrows alone, this was to much and now i dont trust blizzard not to break him when they fix it cause it will happen.

I would like a hero other than Reinhardt that can deal with snipers on a defensive level rather than having to hunt them down
Like someone that can block fatal damage or give quick damage reduction.

Reinhardt I think needs nerfs or a hero that counters him a lot better
