Hanzo is actually a really good midrange DPS character that is better than all other midrangers at long, and not defenseless up close. However, this is only the case in the hands of an absolute master. 99% of players of the game will be better off with Soldier 76 in their hands.

In the case of a master Hanzo, he will also be a master soldier 76 player, as a master Hanzo just has so many hours in the game. The reason that you would pick Hanzo in this situation is that he has that "x-factor" where if all the pieces fall into place in a certain fight, and you land like 2 or 3 really quick headshots, you completely eliminate multiple enemy team members way faster than anyone else can.

I know it's an epic meme to go "DUDE HANZO SUX STOP PICKING HIM", but if I see him in casuals I respect the pick because niggas have gotta practice somewhere, and if I see it in ranked, and the guy is actually good at him, I respect the pick too.

Finally someone that shares my view that Hanzo is basically Soldier 76 without the training wheels.
>>
>>344106090
This is true, played against a team that went 2 hanzos on both attack and defense for Watchpoint Gibraltar. They had godlike aim, we literally couldn't do anything because they'd pick us off before we could even deal with their Reinhardt defending everyone. Not to mention fucking dragons flying around every 15 seconds because there were 2 of them.
>>
>>344103528
no crosshair?
>>
Maybe on offense for Gibraltar to make sure nobody is trying to be cheeky to get a pick or lots of damage to build Ult. Sonic Arrow catches anyone trying to hide in house to flank and you can probably punish them by throwing in a scatter immediately afterwards.

Other than that, unless you are a fucking God with your scatters, don't bother. You can get more work done with anyone else.
>>
>>344108815

I think she's good at killing attackers that leak through. If her teammates are taking down the more dangerous heroes, then the Tracers, Genjis, etc. that try to go around often run into her setup and the car wash cleans them up. She's essentially the last key to an often-impenetrable defense.
>>

Teleporters are nice. Lasers have a slow effect which can piss off roaming flankers. Alt fire does a fuckload of damage and makes for great suppressing fire.

Yes, just play your favorite character to the best of your ability. You aren't playing just to win by having a good team composition and playing with a shitty character you don't like, right?
>>
>>344118156
Pretty much this. The comp meta is have double tank, double healer for the most part so even if he hits you, you won't die.

It's interesting really. Competitive teams are playing extra defensively because characters like Winston (highly mobile tank/flanker) and Reinhardt are nigh impossible to kill with all the shitty auto-aim/insta-kill ultimates running around.
>>
>>344114304

>head shots

lol what

Even the good Hanzo players I've seen just body people to fucking death with 1 second full charge arrows. You get a headshot ? great, then whoever it was is dead 10 times over.

Oh you missed the person you're shooting at by around a foot, foot and a half ? That's alright, we gave the arrow a hitbox the size of most of the casts chest, so you can't miss.

Don't have any videos on queue but I'll give you some tips. Yeah it's unfortunately his roll doesn't have any invuln but it actually goes farther than you think. You can escape a lot of shit or suddenly be in flash range before anyone can react.

Scum cover a lot. Helps to bait out things like hooks, and when you're dinking people for 140 around a corner there's nothing they can really do. For example against a full team, dink the healer or tank a couple times around the corner, then wait for the offence guys to push or overcommit and hit them with the flash+headshot+melee for 195. Pretty easy kill. You can even skip the melee and go for a second headshot which is hard to avoid.

Your mobility sucks but because you do so much damage you don't need to be as flanky as 76 to get those crucial early hits. You can stay with your team and pretty much deny Tracers and Genjis from touching your healer. You can also pressure enemies but just walking forward within flash range. You don't actually have to flash them, but the threat of the flash forces them to back off. This actually puts people in the perfect range for McCree to melt everyone.

Practice headshotting jumping opponents, it's really easy to line up free damage on people who think jumping is a good way of dodging.

His ult is REALLY fucking good. Get a fat flank, line 'em up, and go to town. Don't be afraid to throw it out just to force enemy ults, and then cancel it. People either run for the hills, or overcommit in which case don't be afraid to just use it, and then push. You get it really fast if you're hitting a lot of shots.

And finally my best tip is BAIT TEAMMATES. All the fucking time. Just hang out with your bruisers around corners, wait for someone to push them and get free frags. Your teammates will love you and their offence classes will stay dead 24/7.

WITH EVERY DEATH, COMES ____________
>>
>>344122520
If you're getting picked off during your ult, sometimes it happens due to bad luck but USUALLY it's because your timing is off. Ideally this is what you want from a Deadeye:

1. Be at a bizarre angle most people wouldn't expect a McCree at.
2. Have height advantage and/or be on one end of a very open area.
3. Be out of range of hooks and big damage.
4. Have everyone at lower than normal health.

So based on these guidelines, you GENERALLY wanna find the nearest ledge behind the enemy team, make your way there, and wait. Patience is key because if you blow it too early they can push into your team off of your death. The absolute best timing is right after your team pushes into their team. Not only will they not be able to deal with your ult because there's a ton of shit in their face, but they won't be at full-health so you can charge up almost instantly and fire away.

That's the ideal scenario but you don't have to use it like that every time and in fact you shouldn't. You can just anticipate the end of a push from your team, go around the flank two seconds in advance and kill everyone retreating.

You can cash it in to kill one slippery, high priority target such as a Lucio contesting the point, a Genji about to use sword (make sure his deflect is on cooldown but even if it's not you can just force it and kill him after if you have the HP), a primal rage Winston, Rein pinning your healer, etc...

You can combo it with black hole for team wipes. You can combo it with Lucio speed boost/break it down. You can combo it with a Reinhardt. Pretty much anything.

Another thing is when using Deadeye, always put people at the edges of your screen. Don't put them in the middle, use your POV to get as many people lined up in your view, and also to avoid hitting Zarya shields and deflecting Genjis.

And remember even if you're not 100% locked in on someone, you still do that %age as raw damage to that target. The rate is 170 HP per 1 second.

I play(ed) Symmetra a lot, first for waifu reasons but then I noticed I'm usually devastating with her. People in public still have serious problems with her beams especially if you close off the popular pathways (like Anubis left side door or hollywood left side) towards the cap. People still fall of her bubble, thinking they are safe behind Reinhardt. A carefully planted teleport has almost the same effect as a good rez but your teammates aren't in the open. And last but not least people still tend ignore her in close combat and try to kill more popular heroes because they still underestimate her beam.

You mean new people, and retards. She's very easy to take care of and the enemy team is losing the game when not shutting down certain heroes. Assuming we're talking about competitive or levels 100+, I'm not buying it. I get games with 200+ people and I've only reached 60.

You can see for yourself on /esl_overwatch

Problem is every shitter and their mother wants to play the characters the pros play without realizing it's not as simple as just picking them up and racking up kills. Doesn't help that Overwatch came out after the 360 no scope l33t sniper kiddies.

That's not how it works. You don't need to be in a top 5 competitive team in the world to make Hanzo work, I've played with lots of Hanzos in competitive pubs that knew their shit.
>>
>>344126518
The vast majority of people that play Hanzo are shit that play him for one reason and one reason alone: His ult. They're absolutely and obsessively desperate to get an entire team kill with his ult, or at the very least, 3-4 players. It doesn't matter to them whether or not if they're terrible at playing him and don't do anything useful, but if they can get a kill with his ult, suddenly it makes up for being so shit.
>>
>>344126827
You see lots of Chun-Li players that play him just for tits and thighs but are always the freest players ever online, yet Chun-Li is considered top tier right now and one of the strongest in the hands of good players.
If shitters play a good character and are shit with him that's not my problem, the OP asked if there was any excuse to pick Hanzo in competitive. If you can use him and you think it would help and balance your team properly, there is plenty of reasons to.

I literally threw 10 matches straight on purpose and lost them all
I left matches, i played a battle mercy, I shot at random walls with hanzo, I put walls in front of allies as mei, I walked around emoting as roadhog
Overall I got almost no kills, no damage done, no objective time

You have enough set up before the match starts to set up 5 or even all 6. After this you just need to replace them as they get destroyed. You're asking for trouble if you put them all in the same room/along the same wall as anyone can just get rid of them all at once, and heroes like Winston just need to look in their general direction.

I only play Hanzo in Quickplay. The majority of people who use him in comp are assholes. His gimmicky hitboxes do not make up for everything else.

>>344123762
i love that since he got nerfed that people think he's SHIT now so nobody picks him and they seem to be forgetting how to deal with him properly. i pick him a shitton now and clean house.
often get dumb teammates who rage that i picked him, but they usually shut the fuck up after i get to work.
>>
I love using Hanzo a doing stupid shit just to piss people off. I lead charges into battle and get killed. I purposely miss the scatter. My personal favorite move is to get up high and fire my ult straight down into the ground.

I only use him when I want to be a dick.
>>
>>344103394
The thing about competitive play is that people can't rely on "Can"s to obtain victory.

They need "Will"s and "Should"s to make it and I think I can safely say that some Heroes are more reliable than others in that regard.
>>
>>344103021
I pick him when I feel like compensating skill with luck. I'm not saying he's a no skill character, but it's pretty easy to get lucky headshots with him.

Also he's pretty fun to play.

Same. McCree was always good, they only nerfed the crutch that let impotent retards play him improperly and get away with it. I believe he is now working as intended.

ALTHOUGH I think his flashbang should do 30 damage instead of 25, so at least the flash+hs+melee combo kills 200HP classes.

Whenever I see Hanzo in my bracket I just automatically write him off and I'm usually 100% right. The good news is that there's likely one on the enemy team as well, so 5vs5 it is.

I got placed at 43 after a dismal set of placement matches where I mostly had to play as a healer, even though in the beta I was placed at 52.

The "hanzo is bad and deadweight" meme needs to die. If you're even half decent at aiming and take like 20 minutes to get used to his arrows/scatter arrow you can easily delete multiple people from the game on a regular basis.
>>
>>344132735
to be fair, everyone on the other team is also completely moronic
On my journey me and a friend were throwing a game, turning into a 4v6, and the other team STILL lost they were so bad
when you get low enough anything is possible
>>
>>344132960
It isn't a meme really just bad players need to stop playing out their skill range on rank. I stick to what I know, Zenyatta: stay the fuck back heal and discord and fire from afar. Junkrat: play smart and lay traps, and 76: heal as much as I can and aim well.
Problem is people don't know how to play as a fucking team. That's what loses the match.
That also means picking the right char for your team.
>>
>>344103021
There are some parts of the map where Hanzo is actually effective at prying apart the choke.
Everywhere else, he is crap.
>>
>>344133449
Jesus, things were fine for me till I got one shit head who had to complain about zenyatta, it wasn't even for healing and another healer was possible and doable, but this piece of shit kept complaining and we lost, he was happy we lost because he said zenyatta was a shitty healer and he was right. Which he is right about Zen being a shitty healer but he was a mercy and he did a shit tier job than I did as zenyatta.
>>
>>344133449
That's the thing, though. A lot of the times when we do win, one person on the other team just ragequits.
I've had winning streaks, of course. Where I managed to get decent players.
And I'll admit I'm not the most skilled of players, but every time I go up a level, it's like the game punishes me for it by pairing me up with idiots.

I quit matches as a last resort, but only to make sure I lose the match, people who quit when they are losing anyways confuse me and just punish themselves
take solace in that every ragequitter will either have to stop or be banned from the season, you can even pretend that last ragequit would be their last if it made you feel better

She fucking stomps anything short of top-tier genjis, and even then a good Sym will rek a genji in a confined space

In terms of playing him instead of Widow, he does have a few benefits of having slightly indirect killing with just normal attacks and the scatter arrow, and can essentially do a small widowmaker "ult" every 10-12 seconds with his shift.

His ult is also better too but he has no escape and no up close fuck you like Widowmaker does unless you land that perfect headshot.

Seagull can make any character look and play great, anon. But not everybody is Seagull. In fact, most people aren't Seagull, so if you're doing low to mid MMR solo, just pick characters that carry such as Zarya, S76, Lucio, Roadhog or Reaper. And stop picking D.va in competitive, good god, literally everybody knows about her hitbox by now.

>>344134179
When I played Winston for the first time I thought I could easily go for that annoying Hanzo the same way I do with Widows but I got absolutely shredded in an instant. That's when I realized you should not underestimate the scatter arrow, especially when you're a big guy. It shoots 6 arrows that deal 75 damage, assuming these arrows can't headshot that's a maximum of 450 damage.
I still go for Hanzos but now I use my shield

Too many shitters relied on his fan the hammer. His stun gives you 2 free headshots, I one shot every tracer/zen/genji with just one headshot after his stun.

>>344145862
Hanzo shoots a normal arrow that does 125 damage at full charge.

When it hits a surface, it splits into 6 which do 75 damage each and can't headshot. The spread and direction of the split is set (not random) and based on the surface it hits

The arrows then bounce 5 times, dealing damage to any players they hit

So there are two ways to use it: 1) Direct kill and 2) indirect kills. For a Direct Kill, aim it at somebodies feet. The split arrows will fly upwards into the target, delivering up to 450 damage before bouncing on their way. This method of using the scatter arrow is great to kill hard to hit targets like tracer, or tankier targets that won't die in 1 headshot to regular arrows. Indirect Kills require much better knowledge of the direction of split and the geography you are firing onto, but good knowledge will allow you to consistently kill characters around corners

the problem is that Fan the Hammer is almost completely useless now, aside from finishing off low health targets. I think they should have left the damage as it was, but put it on cool down, thus turning it into a limited by high burst of damage like Hanzo's scatter arrow

This is true but they dont work in all game modes and for me personally I can't play them. If there were some way to "carry" a team with most heroes id be happy. Splatoon is similar to this game and the ranked woes I hear people complain about in overwatch was similar to those from splatoon but in splatoon it was easier to carry since the weapon kits were balanced differently. Overwatch heroes are too specialized and they mostly fill a single role.

literally the perfect thread since I just got out of a game with our Hanzo on ATTACK and he literally got nothing done

>trying to kill speedboosted genjis with zarya
good luck

>>344153293
Winston shits all over Lucio and Genjis
Zarya not so much, those agile little fucks are impossible to track so you have to spam nukes and hope for the best

I hate Hanzo

>>344153736
If they're any competent they're going to stay at midrange, outside of beamrange, while jumping around to avoid splash damage, and spamming shurikens at you. As soon as your shield is gone they're free to rush in and gangbang you mercilessly
Now as winston they can't keep at midrange because you can deliver hot monkey schlong all over the map quicker than they can dash away

Some Hanzos are fantastic, but like widow maker, few and far in between.

Any hero has the possibility to be useful so long as you're good with them.

>They're going to stay at midrange outside of beam range
Then they're off the point/payload. You also don't fucking bubble for their shurikens retard. You have 200 rechargeable shield.

Winston can only do shit up close, and at best just delays some incoming harass damage with their shield. After that they're free to keep getting shuriken spammed and will slowly dip in health more and more over time, requiring them to drop an ult the moment Genjis decide to go in.

Thanks for the advice I picked him and did pretty decent. I tried to pick up my team but still can't do it but I want to play him more. With your advice he's pretty fun but holy shit I can't aim. I missed killing tracer like 3 times and she blinked or recalled away.

>Wasting scatter on a Dva who has a gigantic head hitbox
Three arrows completely drops her out of her suit, almost two.
>>
>>344154965
If she's right up in your face there not much time to shoot 3 arrows at her.

>>344119098
>70 damage long-range headshots
False. Damage falls off to 35 at anything beyond 30 meters (long range). It drops below 70 at 18 meters.

Everything else is correct though. He's great.

I've played against them a few times. Do they always play mercy? I want to say he was pocketing Pharah every time

>>344155731
She usually plays support, almost always mercy
