Why can Hawkeye one shot someone from full life.

Who on the balance team decided this might be a good idea.

[Kitt 🌟 Stargazer]

Because that's probably what they wanted him to be able to do perhaps. One of the benefits when it comes to creating things is that you get to make all the decision on how everything works.

Why not? Aiming with a slow moving projectile takes skill. The game absolutely should reward skilled plays rather than braindead, no aim characters.

Ugh ? Slow projectile ? Skill ? His arrow might as well be hitscan for how fast it flies. It's not hard to aim in this game because hitboxes on projectiles are so insanely huge. The skill floor is incredibly low.

If you wanted to see "skilled plays", you've chosen the wrong game.

The healing is completely out of control. WIdow's sniper rifle needs about a 10% damage boost. No reason why some characters that are not tanks should be taking 3+ shots from a sniper. A headshot on everyone that isn't a tank should be a one shot. Super annoying to headshot Spiderman and he still continues to spin around and do whatever he wants, and then gets immediately healed by one click of the mouse.

Hawkeye has some ♥♥♥♥ in his kit that noone uses, that could easily be buffed to compensate.

He could gain a bit of distance when he uses his shift, he could gain his melee-skill (deflecting projectiles) when he shifts, he could deal increased damage to targets with his Shift after he bomb-arrows them. He could get wall climb after his double jump, he could get increased damage against people he hit with his shift or melee. He could gain the ability to not just deflect, but reflect projectiles with his melee.

Nobody plays snipers for their secondary abilities. Other duelists have tons of those abilities as well, much better than Hawkeye, offering better utility, survivability, versatility or all of those together.

It's like proposing buffing Widow's batons to make her viable. It's a joke. Anybody would just pick Magik if they want melee DPS.

Let's take Overwatch just an example:
Remove all secondary abilities from Hanzo or Widow.
Are they still fun? Is their skillset still suited to their needs? Would Widow still be as opressive as she is, if she can't grapple to or away from high Ground? WOuld Hanzo still be fun, if he didnt have somewhat of a close quarter defense with Storm Arrow? Or Scouting Ability wiith his Sensor Arrow?

You are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tool who insists that Hawkeye forever needs his One-Shot because "Wha he's gonna be bad otherwise" but refuse to acknowledge the potential in giving him more versatility that would justify his main attack being slightly weaker.

Black Widow is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun in this game, and you could potentially slightly increase her scope damage, but that doesnt change that being able to sprint, gain high jump and being able to kick people away is utility that is necessary for the playstyle to not immediately mean death when you're flanked.

Ah yeah.. failing to come up with any argument, devolving to personal insults. Sure way to convince your opponent, go have at it.

I mean, you're the one who decided me calling you a tool was enough to not look at the actual points, so in fact all I see infront of me is a triggered snowflake.

bro long story short, get good.

If you are playing against a good hawkeye he is quite literally unbeatable. He has no counter, can one shot everyone and 2 shot tanks. Garbage design.

I posted this topic like a week after release and it is still relevant even after they added the irrelevant new characters......The reason I never came back to this game isn't even the imbalance. The game is just a complete rip off of other games like OW. Sorry its 2025 Im not looking to play the same game modes re skinned. I never really enjoyed OW how could this be any more fun when its the exact same. Only character that was actually fun to play was/is spider-man.

[Cpt Obvious]

Because he has the slowest non hitscan fire rate in the game so therefore each individual hit has to be the highest damage. Duh.

[shwastar]

its hard AF to hit the HS consistently....

kudos to you if you can. Healer crit hitbox feels insanely small. I have the same gripe with BW
