docs.google.comHanzo and busted and Master unfortunately barely means anything these days.
Neat guide, though, especially the W angles.

Great share, thanks

Nice tips. Thanks for the post.

Should probably mention that lvl 7 sharpened arrowheads is a death sentence for garrosh because not only does it make garrosh more vulnerable, it completely replaces his trait. So if garrosh is at +40 armor, and he gets hit by hanzo, hes at -5 armor, not +35 armor.

I recall reading that this is just a visualization issue. The numbers should still show that he gets the benefit from his trait if you play against him in Try mode or somewhere.

This is correct, it is just a visual bug.

Is this confirmed? Sounds like a bug if that's true.

"the squeaky wheels gets the grease" Or, the more people bitch about something the more likely it will get addressed sooner.

Not to take anything away from your friend, but Hanzo is kinda broke right now....
A lot of people hit top levels in games by taking advantage of the best stuff.
To keep it Blizzard specific:
WoW: Playing highest DPS class in PvP or PvE comes to the point where people literally get benched based on the class they picked 10 years ago if it happens to be bad at the time
Hearthstone: top players create their own decks, but many people just copy the best decks and require a deck to be tier 1 to hit Legend. Sure, I can hit Legend with a Tier 3 spell hunter deck, but 70% of the time I hit Legend am grinding the last couple of ranks with a Tier 1 deck. And count yourself out of the Top 100 if you aren't playing something inherently broken.
Overwatch: i don't play, but... something something Mercy?
Chess: Hard to win without your Queen
HotS: I personally place much higher when my mains are in higher tiers. Leoric being good is the reason I am at a 90% WR with him in ranked at Master this season, and I think less about when I draft him. He's just good in multiple roles now.
Ah, chess, the great Blizzard classic.
Next Classic hero is The Queen.
coulda sworn that one was Blizz
Oh you are absolutely right. My point is that most of these guides are done to show that underplayed heros can be good, or getting the most out of a bad hero.
A good player will spam Hanzo when they can no doubt, but what I'm saying is if you are generally good at the game, and you pick Hanzo you will rank up. There's not much need for a guide on mastering an op hero.
I agree for the most part. Though, ironically, I have been losing most of my Hanzo games in QM (haven't played him at Master as I prefer to flex and let one tricks play the carries since they're good enough to be trusted).
Maybe it's just bc it's QM with weird comps. I just feel like games aren't in my control as Hanzo and rely on the team not being dumb/being able to fight so you can chunk enough damage.
QM clown fiesta with uncooperative teammates mean you can reliable safely dps objectives or bosses with your W build.
pve fotm is a lot different front pvp fotm in wow
Atleast before legion
I understand they're different classes if that's what you're saying, but objectively the concept isn't different.
Bad classes will get benched for others who play good classes (if their dps is higher, but obviously that is also the reason someone gets sat in an RBG team... The other person is now better due to class buffs).
I am just saying that the best pve class\spec is usually not the best pvp class/spec
Just as I was starting to pick him up, they buff him and suddenly he is pick or ban worthy. Completely takes away my will to play a hero, really.
