Don't stand so close to the doors on Offense!

Posted this on the main sub but it got drowned out in seconds, thought I'd try here instead.

So, first off I want to say I'm bad at Hanzo. Like really bad at Hanzo. I'm that guy that cause rising salt levels when you see a killcam of me spamming arrows that gets a lucky headshot.

That's how I know that this trick works as long as you can land an arrow on one of the stationary robots in the training arena.

Because the opponent will be pretty much always be stationary, or at the very least holding W. Basically you use Hanzo's sonic arrow before the game even starts on one of the side doors, around the 5 or 6 second mark. That's it. Free information, if someone is there aim and release an arrow just after the announcer says 1. Free headshot. Even if not you can use Hanzo's scatter arrow to finish them.

It surprises me that I haven't seen this more as it is free information for you and your team. Sonic arrow doesn't find anyone? Well then that flank is secure and you can focus on the other two doors. Occasionally you'll find the entire team trying to go down a side passage which lets your bastion set up nicely for an easy POTG.

TL;DR Standing right next to the door on offense gives a smart Hanzo free knowledge with sonic arrow and that extra half a second isn't worth an arrow to the face.
