You know you've raised your kid right when they recognize that calling someone a Hanzo main is the insult of insults.

Twitch streamer abrekke83 shared a note sent home from a teacher on Twitter, stating that after her daughter became angry when another student took her pencil she called them *gasp* a Hanzo main.

Apparently the teacher, in their ignorance, spelt Hanzo as Hanso on the note, and the mini Overwatch fan made sure she spelt it correctly.

For those not familiar with the slur, being called a Hanzo main is considered an insult due to some Overwatch player's distain for his use in highly competitive matches. Since Hanzo's bow takes some considerable skill for aiming, being a Hanzo main means you better be good or be ready to switch to Mercy.

The official Overwatch twitter account even got in on the fun, stating that although they support the plight of Hanzo mains, the story is worth a chuckle.

"Hold this L, you... you..... PIKACHU USER!!!"

 

[KZXcellent]

This has gone too far.

 

[tcrunch]

Of course the official twitter supports Hanzo mains.

Meet me on the porch, Genji.

 

[Cranzor]

The article says the teacher spelled "Hanzo" wrong when they clearly didn't. Weird.

EDIT: Misread. Never mind.

 

[Chip N Chance]

Im getting too old.

 

[Two Words]

The Hanzo main should have been purged from the school.

 

[Fat4all]

you can't imagine the slow, building smile that creeped across my face as I read the line "however, it was clearly meant as an insult"

 

[ryechu]

There is no way in hell a school teacher knew how to spell Hanzo correctly.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

If the shoe fits.

 

[Joni]

Smart teacher.

Jeff is a hanzo main so hes probably holding the social media team hostage

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Love it.

 

[Trojan]

I'm surprised the teacher understood the reference. Confirmed: teacher also mains Hanzo.

 

[Grisby]

"Bet he never stands by the payload either!"

Ohhhh no she didn't.

 

[Steel]

The teacher didn't.

 

[Nocturnowl]

my first thought, regardless of authenticity

 

[Majine]

The teacher didn't.

That she subconciously knew it was an insults tells you that deep down, we all hate Hanzo mains.

I don't care this gets me banned but... y'all a bunch of Protoss Pylons.

Better to be a Hanzo main than a Pro Genji™

 

[giancarlo123x]

That's amazing

 

[xaosslug]

as funny as this is I'd say it's a good example of how kids learn & take their cues from adults... they're a streamer, right? Probably heard them saying it.

This is my first thought of most things posted on reddit. "Look what my GF just got me" with some sort of elaborate puzzle that ends with a new video card or nintendo switch hidden somewhere.

 

[j0hnnix]

Still nicer than a bastion main.. Ohhhhh

 

[LelouchZero]

LMAO!

 

[Zee-Row]

Is this like calling a Tekken player an Eddy Gordo main?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Ummmmm..... What's next?

if you don't evolve him into a raichu then yeah.

Since Hanzo’s bow takes some considerable skill for aiming, being a Hanzo main means you better be good or be ready to switch to Mercy.

Why would you switch to Mercy

 

[breadtruck]

Wow, Id rather be called a slurry of swears than a Hanzo Main.

Expel that kid.

 

[LelouchZero]

Why would you switch to Mercy

So you can heal the Pro Genji.

 

[DR2K]

So no one wants to be a healer or tank? Oh Hanzo, Widow Maker, Genji, and McCree? Ok.

You take that back! Eddy will be the last hero I mean...

 

[freeofgreed]

Is this like calling a Tekken player an Eddy Gordo main?

You can actually win with an Eddy so no.

 

[MrSaturn99]

This is great.

 

[Illucio]

I needed this laugh today. This girl is going places.

 

[BitStyle]

We've gone too far...

Should've called him pro genji

"Best part is this was the second note. She corrected the teacher that it was Hanzo, not Hanso."

[Acquiescence]

Hanzo is a prize twunt, so it's alright to use such an insult.

 

[Zackat]

Hilarious

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

"Keep the pencil, I hear your family is so poor you can only afford Battleborn"

"Go back to League of Titans."

A spanish teacher would.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Haven't played the game, but what's wrong with Hanzo?

 

[Orochinagis]

Probably a Bastion main

 

[eizarus]

I hope my kids use insults like that one day.

 

[GearDraxon]

That other kid deserved it. Doing classwork (even, say, simple geometry) is hard without a pencil!
