Sorry, I thought i had perma-link on. It's on now, if it wants to be added to the main post.

Whats funny is in competitive I think he's actually a decent answer to McCree stacking. But competitive teams have decided Hanzo is trash so they don't even practice with him.
Hanzo is just an awkward champion on the spot. He is stuck in a position limbo of whether being an aggressor or sniper. Obviously you can do both but when running a competitive comp its slightly harder to just add that in. If he chooses to be aggressive he risks being eliminated instantly but if he chooses to snipe, he has the issue of being severely out classed by Widow in her current state(potential nerfs $$.) His biggest saving grace in terms of composition is his ult and the ability to help push forward, if combo's with the likes of Zarya whom I believe to be a super-meta sleeper at the moment.. potentially devastating. His recon arrow is pretty clutch too when well placed but I feel it rewards him the most because it allows for that extra umpf of precision.
I have some odd 50hrs logged into Hanzo(mostly because he makes me think of running around w/ a deagle in CS), and running over scenarios.. often times to play him with absolute strength, he need a lot of nurturing. I wish they'd up his critical on his low end arrows, but keep the body damage the same. So say his maximum pull arrow to the face does 100 on a 0-100 scale. In the current state, his low end arrow crits do shit all, maybe 10 of that. I wish it was half the damage of a full charge, might be a wispy dream, but I think it would help greatly in tighter situations in which you can't get a full charge back. I mean, I guess the obvious answer is scatter shot, but its not always the most reliable. He should be rewarded heavily for criticals because of pull time/arching/projectile based shooting. I mean, Widows machine gun can't be underestimated. I can take out a Winston pretty easily with that thing. If adding damage is too much, just add a damn hit snare, doesn't have to be long or the most slowing. Shit if it could prevent jumping, i'd be in heaven.
I think if he manages to see competitive play, we will be seeing him running some sort of shield wall strategy with him as the "spear." I think some of my best moments have been in the cut.
Spoiler because I feel like I spam too much gfy.
