Well I guess it probably looks more natural than getting pulled into a wall.
Going to have to fear the hook way more now.
you can't strictly balance around premade high level competitive play.
the mobility change was dumb but this is how blizzard does changes. they always do this shit with all their games.

I would have been fine with the ult duration being shortened, but boy, they really chipped away at the things that make Genji fun and unique to play.

I haven't played the PTR yet, but blizzard kinda was really tricky to use before without a wombo combo setup. Pretty much everyone could escape it easily than just shoot you from outside the ring.
But that does look gigantic, so I'll have to play and see for myself.
I'm REALLY REALLY hoping that her ult goes through d.va's barrier now because it was crazy annoying when she easily absorbed it before.

Seagull got a dragon 30 seconds into the match -_-
His Hanzo is terrifying now. Before it was just scary. Now it's terrifying.

The genji nerfs like dragonblade to 6 are fine, but the mobility nerf with the tripple jump is stupid.
Walls won't save anyone now, if you get hooked, you're going to meet that roadhog now. It's going to be fun playing him and annoying playing against him
I'm assuming some of the epic new ones get bummed up to legendary cost.

yep. Like I said they nerfed Genji so hard in PTR so that when he comes out w/ ONLY the ult time nerf peeps won't be so salty.

I'd rather have a Hanzo on my team than a Genji on the opponent's. (￣ω￣
Animation cancel was a bug, I don't think they will listen to them. Triple jump maybe they'll add it back.
What happened to Hanzo before this buff, was he nerfed? I played him when the game first came out and have about 16 hours on him I think? My rate with him was like 60-70% thought he was good but then I stopped using him when people out of nowhere hated the character on top of a game where I was getting kill streaks and my team was so terrible that none of that mattered (I remember making a Mercy Pharah combo just book ass when I climbed up to them, hopped around dropped the Pharah immediately and the Mercy almost kind of just gave up), so I moved on to practicing with McCree cause I thought he was fun.
this is all we'll have whenever Comp is on hiatus. i do not want to keep seeing stacked Meis as a result.

Hey guys I heard there's a patch...
Oh.
Oh my.
Me is bae again.
<3
I wanna feel happy about Genji, but I know he'll still show up in my matches.
Zen changes, eh. Lowers damage output from other sources but the buff to my orbs means I'll still kill people.
Projectiles being reverted = Hanzo incoming.
Everything else seems good. Can't wait to try when I get home!

There it is. Blizzard pls.
Actually only people with high ranks complained about him - they saw him every match.
Rank 40 people complain about Bastion and Torb.
They had fixed flagrant issues with the hitboxes so you actually needed to hit the body to register hits, rather than hitting like a foot off the body to register. It was actually the right call as bullshit headshtots were all but gone and no one was complaining about them. Instead we get to go back to that world
If you're in overtime and Mei's ult is what worries you the most, then your team already has problems. Tanks can easily survive on a point inside a Blizzard if they're getting healed by support heroes outside the Blizzard, which any good support should be able to stay out of range when they're positioning themselves to account for upcoming ultimates. Before this buff, Mei's ultimate was pretty easy to avoid or survive through if expecting it.
The size increase makes Blizzard's usefulness about equivalent to other spacing ultimates from the tank heroes.

The Age of Mei begins soon.
Also, people concerned about golden gun points not multiplying on the PTR should be relieved now:

He was only scary in the hands of someone competent.

Confirmed nerf is dumb. Thx Shadder. Give back triple jump and combo, I don't care if the combo was a bug, it was still hard to do.

It does feel bad though, as a Genji main, when a bunch of people want your character nerfed, but you had to dump 60+ hours into him to just become "good". Pretty much the only character besides tracer with such an insane learning curve and now they rip out a lot of the skill out of him which also nerfs him. Feels bad.
That's why there's so much outcry, I think, unlike the McCree nerfs, because anyone could pop in and be insane with McCree. You had to put in double digit hours of practice to become serviceable with Genji. Hopefully they just end up nerfing his ult time.

A while ago, they changed projectile hitboxes to be about as big as hitscan hitboxes (if not exactly as big?), which made hitting headshots with Hanzo a lot harder.
Now he's back to shooting logs.
Before this buff his hitbox arrow was smaller meaning people can't aim for shit, even waaaay back then when his hitbox was big like a tree trunk people still can't aim for shit. And now with buffs? People still can't aim for shit. McCree is better at mid range because his weapon is hitscan and deadly with flashbang upclose.
If we're nerfing Genji's jump reset let's nerf Pharah being able to boost herself horizontally ��
Hanzo is less about aiming in the traditional sense than McCree is. His entire toolkit is based on predicting peoples movements and aiming ahead. Like a Rocket. Thus the line 'so predictable'
