So, everyone is complaining about Brig, but what about Hanzo? Brig requires positioning, is countered relatively easily, has a very close effective range and gets nerfed every other week. Meanwhile I see regular death cam footage of Hanzos sitting somewhere on the map, spamming arrows without looking or aiming at me, hitting random headshots that are one-hit-kills. If you want to dive them, you’ll have a hard time, cause a) they’re so far away and b) Storm Arrows effectively have a shorter cooldown than defense matrix (hear SA - activate DM until all arrows are fired, smart Hanzos will wait to fire them all so you burn your entire matrix - you reach them, they have the better mobility with your boosters down and get SA up before your DM is back up). Ultimately, they require only a single skill (aiming), and even that one is questionable (if out of 12 arrows only 1 hits a headshot on a squishy, it’s still a positive outcome), whereas Brigitte needs the awareness of their teammates, the sense for enemies, proper usage of cooldowns, a feel for when to engage and when to disengage. Most people who claim otherwise are betrayed by their profiles that show how much they suck when they actually do pick up Brigitte, and that she isn’t a “no-skill” character, when clearly there are tons of people out there who can’t play her at all (which includes me, at least up to a point).
To make my actual point: “#deletebrig” is nonsense and severly misses the point. I don’t think Hanzo should be deleted, instead SA needs a rework (higher CD, less time to fire all arrows (see: defense matrix), no ability to headshot with those bursts) and his primary fire needs at least some range dropoff, considering how at a certain range it’s only about luck anyways.

I’m awful at Hanzo, yet he’s my go to dps, because he’s so much easier to get value out of than anyone else.
My go to dps was Soldier for a long time, purely because I like his weapons and I’m stuck in my ways, but playing Soldier is basically like turning the difficulty up to 11.
You have to play REALLY well to get value out of Soldier, so much so, that he’s not even worth playing over Hanzo, as his projectiles are way more forgiving than hitscan.
I’ve always thought Hanzo was more of a problem than Brig, but everyone just kind of seemed to stop talking about his op rework.
He’s very fun to play, not so fun to play against.

I think Hanzo storm arrow is way to strong, its like they thought scatter arrow damage was fine but the RNG was not so they removed the rng and replaced with consistent damage calling it storm arrow, do not delete Hanzo tho.

I feel the same, even if I don’t go anymore on it, I don’t like it.
But when I use the storm arrow. It’s just a free-kill 90% of the time…

At the moment hanzo excels against everyone, and above all UNDER ALL circumstances.
And will be like this, as long as he will be able to spam infinite arrows that can oneshot

he excels against anything so…Don’t necessarily delete him…but maybe…just maybe balance him for real…
next patch hanzo will recieve a few buffs because OWC demands that
i hope he gets a gun or something like that ‘‘hello guys we considered hanzo to be too weak against other dps so we decided to give him an extra robotic arm with a mccree gun’’
His dragons will be able to do a cree’s deadeye during the travel.
Also, hanzo will have hog’s health pool just to be sure nothing can kill him

The thing that gets me with Hanzo are his luck arrows. So many times I’ve been one shot and he couldn’t even see me. Other than that, I just strafe side to side when fighting against him 1v1.
Necro posting… Tut tut tut
