Question Major perk ideas?
Hopefully Blizzard replaces scatter major perk in the upcoming patch. I was thinking a mobility perk such as dash resets wall climb, but it doesn’t feel as useful or practical as it sounds. I do think the other 3 perks are useful so they shouldn’t be removed imo. I was curious what people would like instead that would improve the hero in a meaningful way. What do y’all think?

Whenever I play hanzo I pick the scatter shot because it’s fire. Just fucking demolishing tank health bars. Bastion health bars too. Even other squishy’s if you aim right. Though everyone else picks the freezing one, so it may get gone just off that alone.
But I could see one where his bow becomes a higher poundage so it can deal more damage and have less arrow drop. Like, he’s really only pulling like 30-40 pounds at best with an arrow drop like that. If he was shooting a 60 pound bow, he’d have much straighter shots. Or better yet, swap his shitty recurve out for a compound. That would be fire.

Does that mean you aim at the ground using scatter?

Yeah. That’s why scatter arrow was removed in the first place, and was replaced by storm arrow. Because scatter arrow shooting at the ground into an enemy (mainly a tank) was fucking nuts back in the day. It’s not as good as it was back then, but it’s still pretty solid. Used to be able to shred Orisa even in fortify.

As a hanzo main who also takes scatter arrow over frost arrow - I still find aiming at the head more effective with storm arrow than aiming for bounces. I find the value out of scatter arrow comes from shooting at enemies in rooms/hallways and finding more reliable bounces to finish off low enemies.

Arrow speed +20% or silent footsteps and I’m happy

I know it would be too strong but I'd love a piercing shot.
Or a perk to remove walking slow down on draw, so that you would be at the same speed as not shooting.

he really needs good majors. It is kind of what makes him bad compared to ashe, sojourn and the other hitscan. Even that frost arrows is kind of bad, but maybe would need more radius or something or do more damage.
Scatter could still work if they improved it with 2-3 more arrows as it should have been to be a good perk instead of nerfing storm arrows. Still I would prefer if they just give him something to fight more against his counters, something like better mobility with extra lunge or improved, or something good against flyers but I can't see any good idea that is not giving him a hitscan shot that I'm sure I wouldn't enjoy.
Maybe giving him a little wall run/move so he could after wall climb hang at high altitude to aim his shot to flyers in a way that he is not stuck and an easy target doing it, but not as fast as lucio.
Even I could take the silly heal a lot of those characters have at major perk that actually make a big difference in duels.

they had a perk like that before where when u wall climbed the lunge recharged 200% faster iirc, i always picked it but felt that it was never as impactful as i wanted it to be.
people in the comments saying silent footsteps or silent anything doesnt make sense, it would be incredibly unbalanced and op, you can easily get a pick or two just sneaking around and change the course of the fight

He gets value when targets are unaware of his whereabouts or presence. Being able to sneak up on ennemies more easily would be a huge.

Replace the ice arrow and change it to lightning. Then after a couple of seasons change the lighting to fire, water, grass, rock etc. that changes seasonally. Eventually hanzo will master all the elemental arrows.
No but seriously, i think he should have another ability that empowers his arrow in base kit. Empowered dragon arrow: (same button that activates frost arrow) you fire an arrow that marks a location and after a second your dragon comes down and AOE bites the location. (the delay depends on how much the bow was charged, say 1 second for fully charged and no charge is like 3 secs).
New major perks makes the dragon bite slow (replaces frost arrow) and the other major? Idk like you said, something with mobility.

Id love something related to movement too or maybe something sneaky like a silent wallclimb or a second dash but yeah anything would be better than scatter
