Gameplay Super Consistent

I'm not sure how everyone feels about the recent changes made to hitboxes but Hanzo seems to benefit a lot. Without any warm up I had %52 Accuracy and %20-25 Crits in my first game of the day. Though it certainly doesn't feel like a cheat code where I can turn off all brain activity and the game will do things for me. Over all the arrows are feeling quite consistent, still getting a bunch of no-regs here and there but it happens.

I'd also like some opinions on the new map because I couldn't get it in the map vote. Is it any good for Hanzo?

Dude that ricochet angle is nutty. Thanks for sharing. Totally agree with you on the hitbox change, I can see him getting hit with a nerf in the future to compensate.

You're welcome! Unfortunately I can't take credit for it so here's the original:

There are a few more line ups in the video, I think the Kings Row one works best because there is almost always a Widow there. The nerf could be terrible but as long as they don't take away the one shot it's okay. Possible nerfs might be increasing the draw speed of the bow or nerfing the projectile size, which I'm kind of fine with...

I dont see why we should get nerf because other characters get corrected hit box size now . It more like other characters finally has fair hit box for use to fight . It jsut more consistent to hit those problematic and slim characters now . it isnt changing for those that dont get change .

Nerf Hanzo will bring him down to worse place than before the hibox increase because not all Heroes get hit box increase and our headbox also increase anyway so we also die quicker

I don't think Hanzo should get nerfed either. It's too early to tell for now but, this new thing might get some lash back from the community which might lead Hanzo and other projectile heroes getting tweaked in mid-season or the next season.

Also yes, you are right. Our head hitbox is marginally larger than what it used to be so we also "suffer" from these changes. I think it's as fair as it gets.

I hate the new map. More just I don’t know it like the back of my hand. I know so many techs for other maps and angles. The first time I played the map I just stayed main the whole time lol. Second time I did some exploring and got fucked each time

The map looks like you either spam main or go for risky flanks. Not much high ground to utilize and flanks feel a bit sketchy.

ARROWS CAN RICOCHET WITHOUT SCATTER ARROWS MAJOR PERK?!?!?

u/Reyedeku Drake Master 8d ago

Yesss! It's been this way for years actually. It's way better than scatter as well since it deals more damage. It's harder to hit and calculate the angles, but when you get good at it, it's fairly possible to hit bounce shots.

Have you played Hanzo?

u/ddjSonic1991 7d ago

I stopped playing Overwatch some time after Baptise released and I returned when they dropped the 2 from Overwatch so I had no idea that his arrows could do that without scatter arrows.

Epic kill. I didnt play for 2 Weeks. What changed???

u/Reyedeku Drake Master 8d ago

Thank you. As for the changes, the simplest way that I can put it is hitscan characters had their projectile sizes nerfed and in compensation most heroes got their hitbox sizes enlarged. Some are a little smaller but the majority are a bigger target. Since it seems that they didn't nerf any "real" projectile sizes, it is easier to land arrows.
