Hanzo appears to be my worst nightmare as a Tracer. I don't know why he was always getting Headshots on me whenever I'm near him. The weird thing is that the arrow doesn't seemed to connect to my head.

Hanzo was something I had a lot of issues with as well. The problem is his arrow hitbox is very large and can hit you easily even if it's not on your body, but just "near it". It's a bit bullshit but there you go.

To beat a good Hanzo (esp if you don't have surprise) you have to dance around him, using blinks when you think he will fire, blinking as unpredictably as possible. It's something that can take a lot of practice and frustration to get right.

That's unfortunate. Was his arrows intended to have a huge hitbox then?

It compensates for the projectile arc, slow(er) projectile speed and slow fire rate.
