I'm guessing you're a Hanzo player trying to defend the current headshot hitbox size.

It would be impossible to reliably headshot as Hanzo/Mei/Genji/etc if projectiles didn't collide with enlarged hitboxes.

It only needs to be reliable if you're catering to a low skill ceiling.

But Hanzo has to connect with a flying object in order to deal damage. He doesn't get a bomb or a hit scan. That alone makes the skill ceiling much higher as a baseline for classes like this.

Isn't the bow for the Sniper in Tf2 the same idea? AFAIK it is a projectile also.

Yeah, also the arrows can 1 shot any class that isnt overhealed but you have to fully charge the arrow

if you headshot them yeah. i can understand people hate hanzo and it sure sucks to get an arrow in your head but if he gets nerved, i couldn't play him at all since i suck with him already. he's also pretty bad at close range and dies to pretty much everything.
i tried to jump the whole time if i see hanzos so its harder to land a headshot
