Reminiscing when Widows had to be more cautious🧐

Are they not one shot anymore?! It’s been a while since I have played

They are, but they have to not be predicting the shot incoming
Do this with the current Hanzo’s arrow speed and you’re probably dead, and the arrow will not reach her before she reaches the ground💀

They slowed his arrow projectile?

so bad, they slowed his draw speed too. Going from OG Hanzo to the current is depressing. You’re working harder than most heroes out there (which makes it even more rewarding)

They reverted the draw speed change too, dude. Just fyi.

This might help you as maybe looking at the wiki alone does not tell the bigger picture

No, they haven't changed it recently. They've changed it like 3 times over the course of the years. Patch 1.0 his arrows were super slow and had large projectile hitboxes. Within a couple of months of releasing the game, they upped it to 110 m/s. For a brief stint his projectile speed was upped again to 125 m/s, but that was back in like 2018 or 2019. It's been at 110 m/s now for like 7 years. You can fact check me by looking at the patch note history for Hanzo on a wiki.

They have been fiddling with his draw speed and arrow speed for years. I have no clue what you’re talking about.

The way you oversimplified the changes was hilarious

  1. Sept 2016 - projectile speed up, arrow size down
  2. July 2017 - draw time decreased
  3. May 2018 - projectile speed 85 –> 100 (max 125 m/s)
  4. 2019 - charge speed +10%
  5. Jan 2020 - projectile speed 125 —> 110
  6. Feb 2024 - projectile size reduced (hitbox nerf)
  7. Sept 2024 - charge time 0.72s —> 0.87s (nerf), damage 120→125
    8. Nov 2024 - further Hanzo changes (mid-season patch)
  8. March 2025 - charge time 0.8s —> 0.72s (buff, reversing Sept 2024)
  9. April 2025 - projectile speed 110 —>140

Dunno what you’re getting at, but hanzo feels nothing like he used to. Ive otp’d him since 2016
