We\u2019ve all been there. You round a corner, and your head is immediately taken off by a Hanzo or Widowmaker that you had no chance of competing with.<\/p>
Whether it\u2019s the Sonic Arrow that you didn\u2019t know was there or the Widowmaker sneakily hiding almost halfway across the map, Overwatch 2<\/em>\u2019s sniper characters have long been loathed by the player base because of their one-shot potential.<\/p>
But come next week, nerfs to their kits will finally make them a little bit less frustrating to go against. That\u2019s right, game director Aaron Keller today announced that season five\u2019s hero balance changes<\/a> will include changes to two heroes that regularly ruin the OW2<\/em> experience for everyone in their lobby.<\/p>

As one of the most formidable DPS heroes in the game, he has likely been due for a nerf for a little while. Hanzo is not only among the most selected DPS heroes on the competitive ladder, but he also boasts a high win rate for a hero played so heavily, according to stats by Overbuff<\/a>.<\/p>
