It's crazy how the devs actually put thought into balancing him. It's really smart how he needs line of sight to do max damage, but then his ultimate flips that on its head and gives him an advantage regardless of line of sight. It's actually a really smart and interesting way of balancing him. It's literally the exact opposite approach that Blizzard took when they made Hanzo's Scatter arrow so strong at first regardless of line of sight.
Dont FORGET Hanzo can insta kill you in the head Hawkeye needs the full passive (meaning 1.5 secs of aim in a target and headshot) Still the balance looks bad they need one tank and one support
He will be broken that's not good balance..He will be like widowmaker garbage for most..Then in a couple of months everybody going to be able to play him at full potential..And will kill the game like widowmaker
Fun fact: this is what blizzard originally wanted to make Hanzo and Genji. They were supposed to be just one character but got split in two. So this is the greatness we could’ve had
Before anyone goes all too crazy about the ownage in this clip and thinks Hawkeye is too OP: This Hawkeye had great aim, played against bots and had pocket healers the entire match. The real Hawkeye experience will be akin to "i hanjo".
Bro we don't even know how it plays, if widow had this you literally wouldn't be able to get any headshot against anyone making decent use of cover or just fast moving You would have no chance winning tracer duel too This could work with unscoped headshot but definitely not with a scope Also this hasn't been played yet so we do not know how it will feel
It’s built specifically for a Hanzo grievance bc a lot of people complain about spamming arrows down a choke and you accidentally just run into a one shot headshot. This you have to actually be tracking someone before you shoot them to get full damage.
@@ni9274 Hawkeye charges half the damage normally and the other half is through tracking. They can add a laser sight to widow and this change as well and then buff other aspects of her kit
@@AnthonyBoutdavong >complain It's called bitching. You won't run into an arrow if you are not being targeted by Hanzo. And if you are targeted by Hanzo, you should stop doing that in the first place >This you have to actually be tracking someone before you shoot them to get full damage. Much more casual, since they have to adjust his damage for that part of Hawkeye's kit, or he will be useless
This makes a lot more sense with proper training range showcases. The actual gameplay in a match was so chaotic i couldnt even tell how, when, or why he could oneshot. And that was genuinly concerning. But this seems very fair, and flexible to balancing in case it is too strong.
@@KenseiRaptor Probably not the case. I don't even like Overwatch but for it too have gained this much of a community it would have had to be doing 'something' right
@ having to have the target in your sight for a little bit. It’s the focus passive. So you can’t just spam shots and hope you get a lucky one shot head shot.
@@Duelblade100not really..? 😭 widow gains power percentage regardless of whether someone’s in you line of sight or not. hawkeye gains power based on how long they keep an enemy in their line of site
I think this character is designed super well considering the kit and ergonomics of his gameplan in any situation. However he does seem a little over tuned at the moment imo.
his knockback seems too strong. he could honestly just not have that ability because he already can one shot and double jump so trying to jump him seems very frustrating
@@FlightX101 actually it is hanzo first form to be more precise because he is literally the first hanzo design before getting separate giving life to genji ☝ 🤓
having to track enemies before getting max charge/damage is a really smart mechanic. They literally just solved the entire widowmaker one shot issue that ow has been suffering from for the past 8 years. This way a one shot feels more deserved. Watch and learn the pros do it blizzard
based on Primary fire alone, he and Moon Knight should be able to work well together, since moon Knight's ricocheting around his ankh would force enemies to come out from behind cover so Hawkeye can get the charge shots on them
Glad Penny Parker got buffs, she more than anyone needed them ~ my experience during the beta was always running out of resources to do minimal damage or survive, couldn't have both consistently.
I think its great that he can only charge his shots to full power if her has LOS of an enemy. This is so much better than a widow sitting in some random corner to one shot you out of nowhere. This way there is enough time to initiate counterplay. Also i wonder what kind of projectiles can be eaten by his melee, if its just normal fire or even some ults.
Im 100% sure his ultimate is made that way because rush down characters who dash or have insane movement will be harder for him to hit, so they probably gave him this as a way to compete
I think since those afterimages last pretty long and is created for all enemies(not sure about summons or anything cuz I bet we'll have a hero with a strong, independently moving summon later); the delay between a new afterimage should be a bit more longer
Really hope you can bind the different arrow types to left click and right click (hold left click for normal arrows and hold right click for explosives) I don’t like using number keys.
I feel like this game has some of the most interesting snipers in any game I've seen, both Hawkeye and Namor are really neat takes on the archetype. Can't say I love Hela but she isn't the worst.
Neither HeLa or namor are sniper archetype, they fall into long range attackers and it ain't easy you kinda need to lead a lot of shots, Hawkeye is the first true 1 shot character that falls into the sniper category, but he also seems decent enough in mid range which I think what they want with his design they want you close but not too close unlike HeLa or namor whole you don't want to get close at all
I think his skill floor / base value is higher than Hanzo because of his abilities while his skill ceiling might be about equal because how long he has to charge his bow (and he has extra abilities)
so my question is, he can melee projectiles right, but like, ANY projectiles? can he parry iron man ult or luna freeze skill, or only "basic shots" like punisher and iron man left clicks? if he can parry any projectiles that would be fucking funny
Its kinda weird how a sniper type character can play so aggressively. I mean Hawkeye was frontlining most of the fights and doing super well too. Idk maybe hanzo just scarred me.
he has a lot of strong peel for himself which seems too strong. he can knock people so far away so if youre playing spiderman or black panther it will be very frustrating getting knocked back and headshot
He looks like he pretty similarly to hanzo, but idk how his piercing arrow switching modes based on where you’re looking will feel. The projectile block seems really cool though
I think It balances headshot potential cause he has to expose himself for a longer period of time in exchange for more power. Of course, being exposed also means you can get snipped back or picked off by the enemy.
Seems Hulk got some QOL buffs, jump is charged faster, tackling someone in the jump - haven't seen that in the beta. Hawkeye looks very cool, definitely a high skill ceiling character, kinda miss some first-person view ability for him though, he gonna get demolished by high mobility assassins like Black Panther and Spider Man etc so pretty balanced. His ulti is similar to Strange's somewhat.
I am still skeptical about the one-shot. Yes, it is better than Overwatch, but you can still play this exactly like Sojourn. You can charge up to 100% easily by aiming at the big target tank and then changing your aim to a squishy in the back. It doesn't decay fast to prevent playing like that.
I do wonder. Is the focus chargup individual to the character he's looking at (comparable to Cassidy ult), or is the chargup global for him (Sojourn railgun). Basically, can you charge your focus on one character, and then use that chargup to get a pick (accidental or not) on someone else?
They should 100% make widow have to charge up her shot by having your crosshair on the enemy for a bit and charging up, would make mobile heros more lethal and give other heros a better chance from a widow hard scoping where you will appear from, she would still have her one shot if you can track the enemy, makes it require more skill to kill.
and her ult could still have wall hacks but for herself widow can just ping an enemy to let her team know making her more interactive with the team and make it so that during the ult she charges her one shot from the wall hacked enemies but it's a bit faster on the charge and after she gets out of the ult if she had 100% charge shot still she will keep it until she un scopes of shoots that shot.
I know this has nothing to do with marvel but it's just something i thought of hawkeye does look good not much of a fan for the after image stuff i have to experience it to know how i feel.
Im rly hoping he works as a counter to hela more , even tho there r so many cool heroes being dropped most of them r gimmicky vs hella is just straight damage
I cannot aim to save my life so I definitely cannot use him, but I really, REALLY like the balancing aspect of having to maintain aim on a target AND hit the headshot to 1-tap. Unlike another purple-skinned hero from another game...

They got someone good at the game for the IGN gameplay. This is crazy
Lol I was about to comment the same. They have been making sure to get actual gamers for these reveals

Yeah I noticed that there was no way that black panther was human.
Yea like that black panther just walks up a melees? Nah. So I doubt he's going to be as strong as shown

I love that this game makes me want to play almost ecery character.
Ikr, it's gonna be hard to find a main. Starting to see why season 0 is a thing lol.
Bro Professional Necros is so cursed. That said I appreciate all the hard work you’re doing
Wow. That deflect is beyond satisfying.
Hawkeye seems quite strong, guess he seems prone to dives though.
I really hope the next hero we get is a vanguard or a strategist. I don’t want this game to have the OW1 problem
If Arrge Plays Marvel Rivals I want to see how he implements his assassin playstyle into Hawkeye
i wouldnt say he's prone, a crescent slash double jump back and your clear, he has more self peel then most long range dps
That passive is great design.
actual peak gameplay design
game aint even out yet and I'm yelling nerf hawkeye
been binging your vids waiting for this ones inevitable release lol. also as i hanzo main IM SO EXITEEDDDDDD
Somehow Necros becomes the MR tutorial guide😂

nice guide :) he seems cool and purple so imma mess with em. i like projectile shots like that
Finally Genji with a bow or Hanzo with a sword
I love how this is the original concept for genji in overwatch pretty much
As a Hanzo enjoyer, I am so excited to see Hawkeye come to the game! I can't wait!
Really got into overwatch 2 and been dying for a good marvel game. Part of me wishes it was first person but I’m going to love this shit

They made the draft hanzo/genji hybrid, holy shit.
I dont even play video games anymore but damn this is a sick character design
The one shot mechanic is great, I hate it when you peek a widow for a split second and you’re gone. Hanson in rivals is nice as well.
The person doing the demo is actually good 😂😂
I’m a hanzo main in ow and I’m def playing Hawkeye and moonknight the most when the game drops
so my question is, he can melee projectiles right, but like, ANY projectiles? can he parry iron man ult or luna freeze skill, or only "basic shots" like punisher and iron man left clicks?

Its kinda weird how a sniper type character can play so aggressively. I mean Hawkeye was frontlining most of the fights and doing super well too. Idk maybe hanzo just scarred me.
From what it looks like, the Hawkeye that was playing was mainly getting away with it cause he just looked much better than everyone else here lmao.
Yeah. Once people figure out the meta and who counters who, an aggressive Hawkeye might get punished more severely.
he has a lot of strong peel for himself which seems too strong. he can knock people so far away so if youre playing spiderman or black panther it will be very frustrating getting knocked back and headshot
This is Hanzo if he never put down his blade
Hanzo wishes his kit was like this😭
They made an amazing job with hawkeye.
They just keep doing so well as devs
It looks strong as hell. I'm main Hanzo so I'm happy.

doesnt look individual
That guys aim was nutsss
Did the edging to necros guy finally bust or something? Where is he?
New main?
The next character I would want to see in this game would be Cable.
Would his deflect be able to delete a projectile ult say like iron man? Or is it only from primary fire?
finally we have a hanzo genji added.
They should 100% make widow have to charge up her shot by having your crosshair on the enemy for a bit and charging up, would make mobile heros more lethal and give other heros a better chance from a widow hard scoping where you will appear from, she would still have her one shot if you can track the enemy, makes it require more skill to kill.
