This is why the pocketed Hanzo meta tilts everyone 

Sorry for the lack of uploads, feeling so burned out Edit: confused why people think mercy is the problem here. If you would take out dmg boost hanzo winrate would drop to 40%

Hanzo is the only example of a hero I've seen who gets more hate the more he's nerfed.

That first part is more a commentary on mercy than it is on hanzo.

Its just insane how much balancing nightmares it takes just to not accept that mercy is the problem. And then the dps gets all the hate instead of the hate being directed at the actual problem in that fight, the mercy ... And thats coming from a support main, its just insane how much balancing gets ruined because of that one hero.

This video felt like a why Mercy is the MOST HATED HERO in season 9, lol.

At this point just give hanzo his sword back 'cause the bow aint cutting it

As a physician, I have full confidence that Arrge could do this blindfolded

Honestly just make habzo do one damage with a bow and give him a dash that damages on contact, give him a secondary ability that fires 3 projectiles in a line or cone, and make his ult an install that gives him a strong melee attack for a bit Also give him s new ability that can deflect projectiles sometimes

The good old days. When people were scared to run in a straight line and repeaking corners. I dont even have a duo to mercy pocket me so i guess im shit out of luck until blizzard decides they want to make him skillful again or put hanzo down with dignity and just give him a gun and make him hitscan to complete his transformation.

I’m in high plat on Hanzo and feel completely stuck… teammates rarely follow up on my headshot damage so it’s just wasted. Even if I plan ahead, predict enemy movement, and get that shot, they just hide and then they’re full health. He’s so much less enjoyable to play now.

cant wait for the next video, really enjoyed the editing and those juicy kills

hanzo is getting the phara treatment welcome to the club

Anyone gonna talk about how the dude flaming him in chat's username from streamer mode is Le-Bnana Area: cleared

if hanzo goes back to getting oneshots I'll totally play him again because I headshot someone and they hide and that's kinda it

i think rather then removing his one shot, they should've made it take longer to charge up. that would've probably been a better nerf, to appease their "less one shot" mindset, while not gutting him as a character.

Flats, in his most recent live stream talking with the game director (or something?) in which the gd basically promised two reworks, coming up (one of them hopefully very soon!). Unfortunately though the thing that deprives me of hoping hanzo would get a rework is the recent changes with Hanzo which makes it really seem that the devs feel that Hanzo, for some god-forsaken reason feel that Hanzo is in a good place right now. He is not, and the percentage of players playing him dropping by 50% in overbuff also makes it clear players don't like the character

This was a fair, fun and competitive video

arrge can you please make a how to play as Hanzo in season 9 without pocket video? Because I have no pocket and I would love to hear you advices

I quit when the changes came out. Waiting for your video talking about how they reverted the changes

pls show us your rollouts in a full guide video! 🙏

"I mean he's not wrong" was the best

I only got better at hanzo because of you mister Arrge, thank you for all of these videos and content you provide!

Hitscans being piss easy to land feels totally fair and fun and not annoying and boring at all. And widow being allowed to oneshot still but hanzo not, and junkrat not being able to 2 shot are very fair balancing, especially when widow has a point and click projectile sized one shot that doesnt even need to hit the head to hit the head

I remember those 2 days where Hanzo was disabled for some reason, i had never had so much fun playing Overwatch. Where i didn't have to constantly be on my guard (not that it matters if you're on your guard or not) from a random arrow with a hitbox the size of a tree trunk getting within the same postcode as my head and one shotting me.

I miss the onshots so much, flanking and getting a headshot is just so unsatisfying when it's not a kill

Nerf Mercy? Nah, Nerf Hanzo.

Omg, this game is crazy lmao. Love your content arrge!!

The thing is normally when one of the DPS is being hard pocketed by a Mercy they think they are the best players in the world. Just that he doesn't know he is talking to Arrge

The Aron Keller edit was hilarious!!

I love the pokecenter jingle after the rez 😂

It was really just super good gameplay. - great video!

Hanzo solution with current damage numbers: proc storm arrow on all full charged bow critical hits xD. replace the dopamine of an elim with a headshot dink sound+ storm arrows auto activating. saw this in a custom game mode this week

would you be able to upload some games without mercy pocket? i have hard time finding out how to deal with the hs nerf

arrge, can you please do a full settings video

Mercy during rez: "We restore your tired Hanzo to full health... Would you like to rest your Hanzo?" :D

My goat, hope you had a good rest day yesterday ❤

3:44 why did you say yes ?😭😭😭😭😂😂😂 like bro😂

Finally! New Hanzo gameplay!!

That looks so fair, fun, and competitive. I love how balanced hanzo is now

Nobody ever talks about this, but I think AfterDarkCat always plays an amazing mercy in your streams

Bro be blowing kisses like the hanzo highlight intro

If only I had the mercy pocket IRL to succeed in life.

After these buffs, everybody is Arrge now.

HE PUT MY COMMENT IN THE VID

lookin good Arrge! Shaped up beard and looking rested, hope you're taking care of yourself.

I mean this shows it perfectly how strong rez is

3:25 Based Not sure if you were talking about Sha Lin (The one with the bow) but he can't headshot in Paladins (Projectiles in general cannot headshot). His normal arrows take like 40% of a sqishies hp tho and he has cc.

This video seems to be more about Mercy than Hanzo.

@Arrge Don't be sorry for taking a break it is well deseeved! I think the gameplay without the pocket is far better than with. I also agree that 5 more damage would shift the meta enough to let Mercy be so so.

I feel so bad for that Cassidy 💀😭😭 bro killing him like something casually

Think that title would go to Sombrero brother

Arrge I been watching your videos consistently and have become a hard carry Hanzo (65% of the time). I had my first hard pocket match last night and it was crazy how much damage I did so quickly. I really appreciate your videos and tips - though I do miss one shot satisfaction szn 9 Hanzo is a beast.

Everybody hate Hanzo EVERYONE loves Hanzo Hasashi

Nice video papa! Cómo exploto ese queen

“hahah abusing…we are shit” GIGACHAD

Mercy is the issue rn. Dmg boost should have a reset or limit for e.g 4 seconds per char with like a 6 seconds cooldown or something.

One time i had a game where the enimy widow was pocketed by the mercy and she got 40 kills and we couldnt do a thing

Broo the thumbnail 💀 😭

I'm coming up to some spare time in my life and I was considering coming back to OW learning they too away Hanzo's 1 shot is egregious. Hes the only hero I have fun playing and I only play solo so a pocket mercy is out of the question. Oh well, Arrge do you think they will revert it ever?

Do you not enjoy any other dps heroes at all? Just wondering

Nothing more Ironic than getting called a geek that plays games all day in a GM lobby

Genuine question why is he whipping his mouse hard to the side after each shot?

i think its same feeling about pharmercy in metal ranks (of course there is also different skill etc), i do not hate hanzo, however i get that hanzo + mercy can be annoying

i played ONE game with hanzo. The enemy team swapped instantly from soldier/sojourn to pharah and echo

funny vid the sound efffec t on ress is jokes :P

Still can't believe how much this poor fella gets nerfed

Im so happy i quit the second i saw the season patch notes i knew he would be this unfun to play

I’m a new player and even after hearing that hanzo has constantly been ripped apart in favor of widowmaker by balance changes I still play him and think he’s really good, I just had my first game clutch in which I used my ult on the entire enemy team right before their payload reached the finish and then camped it for the rest 5 seconds of the match

The only good thing about the change is that now when you’re popping off and going insane the enemy team can’t blame luck anymore

If Hanzo had a skin with a Bandana with mullet would you use it?

How are you successfully imprisoned that mercy bro 😅

I rmb sb once commented on another ow vid (discussing the issue with sojourn + mercy being too op) that mercy should be seen as a litmus test for dps balance and I agree. From what I observe, the issue comes abt if there's a significant performance diff btw the dps with and without mercy pocket, AND if the dmg boosted dps does extremely well that is hard to counter. That will lead into mercy being a necessary pick for that dps, ONLY pocket that dps cus otherwise the dps is shit, team having only one support for heals, and saltiness everywhere.

I miss Hanzo 1 shot

the best mercypocket

I started watching you back in 2023 of summer I love watching your videos you are funny and keep making cheaters mad❤

"we are shit" 😂😂😂

Just make hanzo re-embrace the blade and turn him into a melee character

If I faced you I’d be tilted the entire game 💀😂 insane hanzo

Unironically this is the red team tanks fault

Man i was laughing on the first gameplay match alot 😂 That Opponents Thoughts/POV be like: - was too funny😂 Imo it could be better to upload more of comedic ish videos like these apart from daily videos if you even do daily

6:00 ,am i the only one who saw those bodies glitching and flying off

This combo makes everyone tilts at the Hanzo, the Mercy, their own team, their dogs, their ancestors, etc... xD

Hanzo is 90% of my entire playtime but i stopped playing him bcuz its just crazy boring to stand in some spot with a mercy pocket, having to spam because everyone is aware of you... good job blizzard

im struggling playing hanzo with the aimshot nerf, but I dont have a mercy pocket damage boost to make it worth it anymore. Spaming storm arrows is the only way to kill anything these days. hanzo no headshot kill, widow still headshots everything. Blizzard makes no sense.

why does everyone have the same name format?

Those idiots at Blizzard might as well make 95 arrow damage and increase the draw speed of the bow

After s9 i just switched to being a cass main. Not nearly as fun as old hanzo, but playing new hanzo is the worst thing ever now 😢

Finaly, the salt with Hanzo is just a matter of skill 😂

Sometimes I'll play mercy when I'm solo queueing and the other team insults us as if me and ashe/hanzo/sojourn/etc always play together. Like relax, I put my blue beam on some guy and it worked so I kept doing it, it's not that complicated

i feel like most hate lies with the mercy lmao thats what makes some characters crazy

the res do be op tho..

Samito (the old school OW1 Hanzo assassin contender player) would laugh so hard at watching this video. I can hear him now saying "you must be new here" 😂

xD I'm a Hanzo main, but since S9 it's just not as fun anymore, but u inspire me to play again haha

but not every hanzo has a perma pocket we need mercy rework tho

Arrge are you trying to get hanzo nerfed? Lol. I get no pocket mercy in my games, its miserable landing headshots and nothing dies 😭

Its sad arrge had to change his unique playstyle to fit the meta, still a god tho

I told You pocket Hanzo dominates games 😁 one shot is back

I got a juicy triple hs kill as Hanzo earlier, 2 kills of which were mid air targets. Got to love stopping a Genji as he ults midair. In fact, ult denying as Hanzo is fun in general lmao. Like when you perfectly predict when an Ashe is about to ult and she dies before she can fully finish her sentence... like killing her before she can even say Bobs name. "Bo...eughhh". Or a perfectly timed ult deny against a Sojourn is nice too, "This ends...eughh" You're right Sojourn, it does end. But yeah like you're saying in the vid, pocket Mercy Hanzo is a god send when playing Hanzo but an absolute nightmare to face.

Before watching, Hanzo genuinely scares me now. Used to be any bot could pick Hanzo and get lucky now and then and it was whatever. Now, if I see someone on Hanzo I know they are a gamer 9 times outta 10.

But when I play hanzo the entire team switches to dive me dva phara reaper Lucio kiriko ☹️
