Dragonstrike
- Ultimate cost decreased by 12%.
- Dragons travel speed increased by 20%.
Hanzo lacks consistency, so changes to fire-rate and damage should mitigate that and allow more shots to be taken. The ultimate changes allows for more value to be found from Dragonstrike. Hanzo’s primary use case is on maps with more verticality, so his vertical jump allows him more flexibility in movement on those maps.
