Why these matchups go this way

A second opinion written by AI from each hero's kit (shown separately from the main matrix, so it may not match it exactly).

🟢 Hawkeye beats easily

Groot Sustained poke from range wears down the wall without Hawkeye ever stepping up front.
Hulk His deadly range constantly punishes a brawler with little gap-closing mobility.
The Thing Same problem: ranged damage against a slow melee hero who can't close the gap.

🔴 Hawkeye struggles against

Spider-Man His mobility puts him on top of Hawkeye before he can react by keeping distance.
Black Panther Same problem: a direct dive against a sniper with no close-range escape.
Iron Fist His fast gap-closing cancels the range advantage that defines Hawkeye's game.
