Hey everyone this is Jeff from the Overwatch team, and welcome to another developer update
I'm excited to announce that the Hanzo rework is officially underway, we're really excited to tell you guys about these new changes and we think you're gonna love them. The first change is that we are taking away his wallclimbing and replacing it with flight, we felt that his movement was really limited with just the wall climb so we wanted to change that. the second thing we changed is his sonar arrow, we realized that widowmakers ultimate already completed this task so we decided to change the sonar arrow to a tracking arrow, it hunts down the nearest enemy support player and hits them for 300 points of damage, and it can't be deflected, this way hanzo can have more utility in team fights. Now we chose to leave his dragonstrike alone, we think it is still being used properly and is still balanced. The last thing we are doing is changing his scatter arrow, we realized that his scatter arrow does too much damage and allowed players to rely on it in inappropriate ways, so we are excited to say that we are taking away scatter arrows, and instead are implimenting a new ability called judgement shot, and what it does, is that anytime you hit someone with the judgement shot, they instantly get banned from overwatch, now we are still playing with cooldowns for this new ability but we think we don't want to go any higher than 5 seconds in between judgement shots.
