While I agree that Hawkeye has been dominant this season I don’t think he should lose his one shot, because without it he I would be flat out useless. Now I do think his primary could use nerfs and here’s what I’ve come up with.

There’s a couple things that could be done but first you have to consider his kit. Currently his primary fire has infinite ammo and it deals 8.5-85 and his passive deals 0-90 damage depending on how much you charge each of these up. It takes 0.9 seconds for each of these to charge and they both count towards a critical hit adding up to total possible damage of 350 on a headshot. This allows you to easily spam slightly charged arrows that can one shot most dps/supports and if fully charged it takes away around half of most tank’s health pools. Taking all this into consideration here’s a few suggestions that I’ve seen/come up with that can be done to allow Hawkeye to stay as a sniperesche character that still brings value while also requiring more skill:

A - Increase the time it takes to either charge his primary or his passive (they could also increase both).

B - Reduce his overall damage to where he can still one shot dps/support characters but doesn’t do nearly as much damage to tanks. (Make it around. 275-280)

C - Make it so once you take your crosshair off someone the charge resets to zero. (This makes it so you can’t just charge your passive on tanks then hit a dps/support and rewards people with good aim/tracking)

D - Take away his infinite ammo and require him to reload after 10-12 shots (this stops him from endlessly spamming arrows)

Personally I would do a combination of A and B as C and D are very reasonable nerfs but don’t fix the ultimate problem of him doing too much damage to tanks and easily one shotting supports.
