Hanzowatch/sniperwatch sucks

Please either nerf snipers or give us more tools to counter them besides trying to outsnipe them.

Since the hanzo rework there’s a hanzo in almost every game, with an uptick of widows to counter it. This makes overwatch feel way different. Getting one-shot just feels bad. Yeah I get it, you gotta hide around corners and shields, and that’s okay some games. And when you are all huddled around corners and shields, guess what? You’re in perfect position to get grav-dragoned!

People like to say “there’s no meta right now” probably because they heard it from a youtube video or something, but the truth is that it’s a sniper meta and it sucks.

Edit: BuT yOu CaN cOuNtEr ThEm In OtHeR wAyS!!

No. If you hide behind a shield you will get grav-dragoned and lose. If you dive with monkey, hanzo will melt you. If you flank, you will probably be one-shot. The only real way to counter snipers is by being a better sniper, and that’s just unfeasible in most situations. The overuse of snipers is ruining the dynamic of this game.
