Hela should be projectile not hitscan

[Archeus]

Someone explain to me why Hela's knives are hitscan but Storms wind blades are not? Where is the logic in it???

Either give it a similar property other projectiles in game where its still fast but you gotta lead shots or give it damage fall-off

She is projectile I thought, am I missing something here?

Nah she's not, its got the look of projectile but the effect of a hitscan, thing of it like a bullet tracer

Presumably for balance reasons; the devs probably thought that Hela's basic shots should count as hitscan.

Granted, not every character is balanced in the current state, but it did just launch.

Projectile is a spawned object traveling to hit something or someone. Squrriel Girl's and Peni's primary fire are projectiles for example.

Meanwhile hitscan hits the crosshair's destination the INSTANT you fire. Heroes like Black Widow or Punisher are like this.

You might know this already but just so we're on the same page here.

Hela's primary fire is hitscan. But she has 2 projectile attacks, one of which is the 4 swords you may be confusing with as her primary fire.

As for the reason why Hela's primary fire is not a projectile, if I were to guess... Hela would be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ busted otherwise. Headshots are far more generous to hit with projectiles. There is a VERY good reason why Hanzo shooting logs instead of arrows is a meme. She's clearly meant to be played like Ashe or McCree from Overwatch where headshots are their big source of damage. Characters like Hawkeye are justified since you can't lock down a hallway with just your arrows, you need to pull them back to charge up damage and actually hit the head, it's not like TF2 where there's potentially thousands of bodies to take the headshot from an arrow.

A missed shot from Hawkeye is far more devastating for him. Hela would not have this weakness, one lucky headshot and suddenly half of your HP disappears for over 75% of the roster. Does that sound like fun? Why they designed Hela to be a sharpshooter of all things is anyone's guess. But I'm pointing how she's designed is the reason why Hela is a hitscan character.

that explains why I'm missing all my shots. I'm looking at the projectile thinking it's actual ballistics and I'm missing my shots because I didn't know they were hitscan.

Thank you, I was deceived by the animation into thinking she was using projectile ballistics

snipers are so busted in this game and not fun to play against
trying to play peter to iron man or storm is terrible
