Hanzo

Rework Concept

Hanzo is performing pretty poorly overall, and yet he remains one of the most frustrating heroes in the game to play against for many people.

This rework concept is meant to address that, mainly by changing certain talent functions and some minor early-game nerfs in exchange for some other general buffs.

Combat Trait

1
[Trait] Natural Agility
Cooldown: 30 sec.
Range: 8
Leap to a target location across unpathable terrain or a Structure.

Hanzo cannot jump to a location unless there is unpathable terrain between him and the target location.
If Hanzo is Stunned or Rooted while already in mid-air, the Stun or Root is applied once he lands. Hanzo is immune to Displacement while in mid-air.

[Basic Attack] Storm Arrows
Damage: 190
Attack Speed: 0.67/sec.
Range: 6.5

Damage: 280
Minimum Range: 6
Maximum Range: 13
Charge Duration: 1.25 sec.
Width: 1
Charge an arrow that deals 280 damage to the first enemy hit. Storm Bow's range increases from 6 to 13 over the first 1.25 seconds it is channeled.

Target Practice
❢ Quest: Hit 15 enemy Heroes with Storm Bow. The first hit against each enemy Hero grants 3x progress.

Mana Cost: 50
Damage: 88
Cast Range: 16
Secondary Arrows: 5
Bounce Range: 16
Scatter Spacing: 9°

[E] Sonic Arrow
Cooldown: 20 sec.
Mana Cost: 50
Damage: 165
Impact Radius: 0.5
Cast Range: 20
Reveal Radius: 8
Reveal Duration: 6 sec.
Fire an arrow that grants Vision in a radius of 8 around its location for 6 seconds. Enemies that enter the area are Revealed for 1 second. If Sonic Arrow lands directly on an enemy, it deals 165 damage to them and follows them as they move.

Secondary Abilities

1
[Active] Lunge
Cooldown: 20 sec.
Range: 5
Activate to dash a short distance in a direction, passing through units in Hanzo's path.

Lunge can be used while Storm Bow is being channeled, but cannot be vector-targeted and only moves Hanzo in the direction he was already moving.

This ability requires the level 13 talent Lunge.
2
[Active] Lightning Arrows
Cooldown: 40 sec.
Damage: 140
Attacks: 4
Duration: 8 sec.
Activate to gain 4 charges of Storm Bow for 8 seconds. Each charge costs 50% Mana and charges up to the previous cast's range instantly, but only deals 50% damage and does not benefit from Target Practice.
