Hanzo needs his hitboxes toned down. He honestly may need a rework a la Symettra. Just giving a character massive hitboxes and super damage is poor character development. At least Junkrat has traps and mines. They need to tone down Hanzo's "oh you shot within 6 feet of them they're dead" gameplay. I'd prefer they give him some sort of defense ability rather than "climb away" or "pray for Zarya bubble".

I don't get how Hanzo's hit boxes are still an issue, it got dramatically nerfed awhile back. It was slightly adjusted to barely anything more than a few extra pixels? because it actually hurt him a lot more than you'd expect, though it didn't really effect me much. I mean given the current meta he is actually quite useless. A mixture of anything dva/winston/genji is just absolute hell. Shit even add a pharah or tracer in the mix, or even a -good- 76. If it was just one of those champions sure whatever, but usually its 2 or 3 of them. Hanzo is easily countered by pure aggression; which is the byproduct of 3/2/1

Buuut, it's w/e, hes still categorized in the -barely useful- category not because of his kit specifically but the demand/output. So despite crying about high damage headshots and whatever refrigerator arrows you're eating.. you honestly shouldn't be struggling. I've had to go 76 on numerous occasions because meta, and dick on hanzo's cause all you have to do is a mixture of jump crouch left left right and the dude is already struggling to nail a single thing while you've already sent a clip and helix down his way before 3 of his shot gets off.

So the people that cry about hanzo are probably just awful at the game. XD

The issue isn't even about Hanzo being good/op (he's actually pretty fuckawful), it's about his design and arrow hitboxes encouraging cancerous gameplay of random arrow spam from around a corner in to a chokepoint because lol headshots.

It doesn't work like that anymore. I can agree to an extent about extended hitboxes, but they've LONG since removed the around the corner headshot.. even then, it barely ever existed and/or could be abused, it was just something in the game that -could- happen. I mean, if it was getting abused, then you're fucking awful for trying to sit behind a corner like that, wtf were you thinking? I dont think there is really ever a moment i'm standing still. If you walk out into a headshot sure, that sucks, even in my clip above I hit lucio trying to come around the corner w/ a sonic arrow; random, I even said it in game like holy fuck random.

It still takes him 1.2 seconds to get a full charge, which does 125 damage. 250 headshot. He can only send -oneshotters- every 1.2 seconds in an area; people neglect the idea of treating it similar to widow's that appear by avoiding sight lines. You can easily time against him.

Even then -cancerous arrow spam- If you're not doing it w/ every character, you're dps'ing wrong. Sure you won't get the 1 tap w/ mccree, 76, or anyone else but it definitely puts in work and i've managed to body many of people doing that w/o hanzo. Pre-fire helix into burst gg. I couldn't tell you how many poor zenyattas have been at the end of that. Even JR and Pharah are amongst the more spammier champions.

Regardless, fixing/doing anything to Hanzo is so low priority. Only the smallest spectrum of autist are complaining about it. More prominent issues like Road hook, and I'm going to go on the assumption that they're gonna try to figure out about this 3/2/1 76 spam, but that, I don't know. New Symm could potentially fix that? prob not.

I expect D.Va to get easter skin. The bunny is kinda her symbol. I think she will have bunny ears and her robot with easter eggs decoration like pattern. She might get something for Valentine day.

Nutcracker Zen really took me by surprise.

Gauze. They're "balancing" hanzo the wrong way is what he's (everyones) saying. Using stupid hitboxes and then dialing anything else to compensate is gay, a hitbox should be a hitbox. Widow doesn't just continually jump and shitpilefire, why is that?

My problem with Hanzo is he gets a fuck ton of random headshot. In a capable player such as gauze that's fine. But no reason Timmy Shitlicker should be blind firing and be able to kill me. There's no penalty for that

On the topic of scoping does ana fully scoped do more damage or healing than just no scoping?

Nope. Scope is just hitscan vs projectile on regular shot.

yea, more hanjos than hanzos out there ...

You really should practice getting Ana's projectile speed down, though. I've for whatever reason recently had an "A ha" moment with Ana's non-scoped projectile and my winrate with her is up quite a lot. It especially helps with defending yourself against McCree/Tracer/Sombra because you can actually just kill them faster and A/D spam harder on her. In reality 90% of your shots on Ana should be non-scoped. The only times I see high level Ana players scope is when they're extremely far away from their target (eg; Anubis B and you're in the arch) or trying to pick off a distant fleeing enemy or Pharah snipes. Don't forget scoping also gives your bullets a tracer so it is easier to find your perch. Unscoped bullets do not have this trail.

I barely ever scope with her because in general it's not helping me aim unless I'm at a distance. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't crippling myself

Ana ADS is for turrets/Bastion/Pharah etc.. A good Ana should be close to the front line as her grenade is both immensely helpful for healing AND killing. Bad Anas sit back and snipe from max range. She's not Zenyatta or Widow.

Linebacker position.

I usually stay really close on ana. I honestly never even really understood people that snipe heal with her. To me it's just a slow pistol

Mei is pure evil just as everyone thought.
