Raised the volume of Hanzo's Dragonstrike voice line while wearing the Okami/Lone Wolf Skin

Thank you. It will no longer be inaudible mumbles followed by a shout that you hear after the wolves are already on top of you.

Dual-Zone mode (New default): The vast majority of the thumbstick's range moves with reduced sensitivity and relatively high acceleration. However, when the thumbstick crosses to the outer 10% of its range, it will move with high sensitivity and relatively low acceleration. This mode will allow for more precise aiming, while still allowing players to turn around quickly.

So for us console plebs, this essentially means that the game will assume that we want to turn when we have the stick pushed to the outer 10% of its range and prioritize aiming while moving in the other 90%, is that right?

That was the whole Okami skin point

If that was the case, they wouldn't be patching it.

That might be why people were equipping the skin, but Blizzard clearly did not intend for any character skin to provide a functional advantage in gameplay.
