Overwatch 2 has finally launched, turning the hero shooter into a free-to-play title. This change also adds new heroes, new maps, and a new mode, Push. This also means that Overwatch has officially switched to a 5v5 instead of a 6v6, dropping one of the tanks on each team. This means that the balance and meta of the game have changed drastically, putting more emphasis on individual performance, meaning high-skill characters like Hanzo are thriving in the right hands. You can see how all heroes, including this one, stack up in our Overwatch 2 tank tier list, DPS tier list, and support tier list. Where did your favorite land?

Hanzo overview

Hanzo is a sniper damage hero, armed with the Storm Bow, which can take down non-tank heroes in a single headshot. Much like Widowmaker, Hanzo is best utilized sitting in the back line or getting to vantage points where he can shoot enemies from a distance. His Storm Arrows ability lets him shoot five arrows rapidly for less damage, great for dealing with an enemy that gets in your face. His Sonic Arrow can reveal enemy locations and his ultimate ability can destroy enemies in its path.
