Convince me im wrong. Hawkeye is straight trash.

[Nydas]

People are whining about Hawkeye, but he literally has the worst kit in the entire game. All he has going for him is his primary fire.

What the hell is the point of explosive arrows? Hitting all 3 point blank does less damage than a normal shot. The time it takes to switch should be instant, but even that wouldnt make them worth using.

Hes one of the slowest characters, and his double jump being a CD ability feels like crap. trying to get up on a ledge and clip an object and fall down? Sucks to be you.
Crescent slash. What the ♥♥♥♥ is the point of this ability? It does virtually no damage and the knock back does nothing against like 90% of the roster. Any dive character is immediately back on you after you use slash, and it has a freaking 15 second CD? WTF why?

Hypersonic arrow. Does anyone actually notice the slow? How about the causing flying heros to fall down? Because ive had it direct hit iron man and barely seen him drop a few feet before he regains control.

Ronin slash. Sounds like it would be great. Almost like Genjis deflect in Overwatch. Except the visual cluster♥♥♥♥ that is this game makes it impossible to actually see projectiles. Even in the freaking abilities overview video you cant see Hellas projectile coming. Its pure luck.

And finally, his ult. Not only the most boring ult in the game, but also one of the most useless. Do headshots work on echos? I cant tell, and the internet keeps telling me contradicting things. MAYBE explosive arrows would be good here, but its a death sentence to get in close enough to use them. Breaking loss with Hawkeye makes them disappear, so useless when dueling another sniper.

And why is the teamup with Widow? Surely having TWO low mobility SNIPERS on the team wont backfire........ Not even to mention that only Widow benefits from this teamup.......


In conclusion: Congrats You stand out in the open indefinitely and want to blame Hawkeye for it. You are, in fact, bad.

Yeah, explosive arrows are weird, I end up never using them.

I legit havent seen a single enemy hawkeye use them, and i honestly forget to use them unless theres a venom or hulk who hard targets me. Even then i feel like they are useless.

Knockback and double jump is a cherry on top.

I'd consider calling you out for "hurting the feelings" of non-alphabet people, OP .. but that's below the belt.

Jokes aside, his ricochet is very potent and his mobility is great. I don't think he's weak. He just has bad match-ups as it should be.

He has the ability to one-shot most characters without any real restriction, as long as it is a headshot. That alone makes him a good character, in fact I would argue he is overpowered.

[HighLanderPony]

That ult alone will make sure he'll never be trash as long as it's untouched.

Lol his ult is the worst in the game.

All he needs is primary fire to completely run a lobby

Did you respond to the right person? This feels so bot like. What ricochet? What mobility?

[Strago]

left click the character pretty much, like it was mentioned the explosive arrows are crappy lol

[Aralous]

hawkeye probably needs a rework, because he is half trash half god tier. his primary fire can one shot most weaker heroes and two shot almost all heroes in the game and his rate of fire is insane. He is a great counter for fliers even without using the sonic arrow. He is a great counter for people who stand still to use their ult.

I have yet to find a use for his alt fire and having a hard time judging the range on the sonic arrow.

Dude!!!!! so agree on the sonic arrow. I thought it was a full map effect for my first like 20 games. Its so hard to judge how far it actually goes.
