Hey blizz, why not add a bullet arch to widow as well, make her more like an actual sniper.

Hey uhh… how far to sniper bullets fly before they start to arch. You know, for an actual sniper? is it 200 meters or less?

1.2 inch drop over 150 yards, 3.7 over 200 yards, and 14.25 over 300 yards for a real sniper rifle.

This would have to be scaled correctly for the actual in game measurements however. Would add more skill to Widow.

I wouldn’t be bothered by a 1.2 inch drop over 150 yards or 3.7 over 200 yards. How exactly do you arch a hitscan though?

I can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not, but I’m really glad Overwatch doesn’t have things like bullet drop or recoil. I wouldn’t like this.

for all intents and purpose, 1 yard=1 meter. unless you need hyper specific, that’s a very close line up.

So a 1.2 inch drop for 150m?

By that rough mathematics, a .4 inch drop is 50m.

So barely noticeable on 90% of maps.

Most of the maps arent even 150m though

It could be scaled to suit overwatch dimensions, I mean battlefield has it. 50m tiny drop off, 100m medium drop off, 150m huge drop off.

I wouldn’t see the point tbh. It’d basically make Widow’s rifle (as well as most other hitscans) function like projectile weaponry. And as projectiles in this game are NOTORIOUS for their absolute garbage hitboxes… I’d rather not have more of them.

As much as I like the idea of making Widow harder to play, I disapprove of this particular idea.
