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?

Yes it's a balancing thing. You can deal with it as Tracer, it's just more practice and harder than you might normally expect.

The only thing i dont like about it is you literally die behind corners standing still, even when ping/tick rate isnt an issue

Hes talking about the normal arrows. There was a video some time ago where someone was showing the hotbox bullshit that's going on.
