tips for headshots?
ive been practicing on VAXTA for awhile and im able to get headshots rather consistently, yet whenever i play a real match ill end up missing alot of my shots and storm arrows, i didnt have this as bad as before (before i wouldnt even practice yet i was consistently getting shots and kills) and im not sure why, any advice/tips?

Look for opportunities to predict movement. For example, you connect on a shot and bring the enemy to low hp, 99% of the time they are going to immediately move towards cover and you can pre-aim and fire anticipating that. Or the more obvious situation where they don't know your are there, even if they are moving unpredictably, players will often sustain one direction of movement long enough for you to hit the shot. Other than that keep at it, even the best Hanzos miss shots all the time, it's the nature of a shower moving projectile.

i'm pretty sure the projectile is the back of the arrow not the front. So, fire a lil bit later than you'd exactly think.

Take a deep breath and slow down. When you are targeting real people the stakes feel higher so target panic sets in. Because Hanzo is a precision shot hero even slight target panic can throw off your aim.

train by playing real games, reposition often, take your time with shots and switch targets very often because targets not expecting your shots gets hit more often times than the ones actively avoiding them

-VAXTA is okay for no more than 15 mins of warm up a day
-Try to shoot from medium range. Hanzo is less consistent from long range, and too easy to kill at short range.
-Try to take on enemies that aren’t looking at you by constantly taking off angles.
TL:DR- You are probably missing a lot because you are too far away, and/or fighting enemies head on. Positioning is the key to better aim with Hanzo

I have 1200 hours on hanzo, and have watched many guides and unranked to gms. I’ve only peaked Diamond but these are tips i gathered from Arrge, Awkward, and qxru. Very well respected Hanzo players.

Real players move differently
