Just your weekly reminder that one single Widow with half a brain cell to click on an over-sized hit-box can ruin an entire server’s good time.

So everyone can have fun unless they’re a widow main?
That’s pretty damn selfish, complaining about her what? Oversized hit box? Are you high?
I play her from time to time, i wouldnt call it over sized since aiming actually takes skill.
Your problem isn’t about having fun, it’s about getting punished by you not having 1 ounce of game sense.

Ehhh, Widow is undeniably strong right now, and her having a projectile size on a one shot hitscan bullet is pretty wild. Sombra got gutted so they could sell Widow mythics, so complaints are understandable this season.
…she’ll almost certainly be nerfed in like 4 days.

In a team based game, when the game is solely about one player out of 10, then yeah, absolutely.
Widow is a fun vampire. When she has fun, literally nobody else in the lobby gets to have fun.

Considering it took them 8 seasons to properly nerf Sojourn, I’d keep my expectations low

Overwatch players are at the epitome of stupid, so yes. Collectively, this community has a total of 10 IQ.
And people who refuse to accept that the singular point of a human (to get good and have skills) should be genuinely punched so hard in the face, there isn’t a face left to punch. And no, brainpower isn’t a skill. It’s too easy. Muscle memory is a skill because you can’t learn it in 5 minutes. I know, this community is too retarded to understand that, but it’s how it is. Skill that requires practice that can’t be cheesed with research is the only valid skill in the world. Period. Anyone who denies it does not deserve to be a part of humanity.
We are walking bags of flesh made up of skills. That is our only value. That will only ever be our value. Deal with it or die.
Is that why you stopped working on it?

Widow controls massive open areas, she is like zonning tool. If you not stupid, you have that must play with tanks with shield, play like fearful rabbit tgat avoids any open areas or just die from her shots. Just the enemy team have the guy which standing in spot far from you, which has only aim skills without any “game-sense”. And I forgot to say, Widow also has 4 allies which can push you out from “safe” spots to her sight. Maybe everything I said is exaggerated and I hasn’t problems with widow, but that I think. Even Bastion not was so strong zonning unit at 6 season. But honestly, people used to see it in the trash level, and was crying when it was finally balanced (was need little nerf, maybe) cause they don’t know or don’t want to think how counter Bastion. Now it overnerfed. But widow never was in trash level, only thing you can do against her is pick flanker (now sombra weak), jumping, strafing to be hard to hit, avoid any open area or play with shield tank. She even don’t need 24/7 pocket support to be effective like as Bastion, and she can play fully independ. And you always need to remember “Widow can see me widow can see me” even when you fightning with enemies in that time

You only become a hitscan dps main because you stop working on it in the first place
That’s why you see almost every single one of these specimens spew nonsense without fail
It feels easier to just nerf her in a multitude of ways, but they won’t relent and instead rework entire maps because she warps the game that much.
Maybe the ones reading twitch chat lol.
We’ve looked at every hit-box in the game and the only realistically sized ones are Widow/Ana. The rest are inflated to make Ana/Widow’s lives easier.
The other 40 heroes also have only 1/2nd to 1/10th the effective range Widow does.
They also make maps for Widow more often than for the dozens of brawlers/skirmishers they grind to make.
Then they took away the team’s second tank and 60% of shield HP, and Orisa’s barrier entirely.
Then they took away every other insta-kill except the one that demands the least game sense.
“aiming actually takes skill” when you’re running around and getting shot at, WAY MORE than standing still across the map with a scope and 1.2s fire rate.
But okay, it’s just because I don’t have an ounce of game sense, not because they slowly buffed her by removing majority of her counters. How dare I peek in a game with a slow pace and TTK factored into 40 heroes’ designs… What a gaslighter you are.
Actually I would say that widow’s problem is rooted in horrendous map design throughout OW’s history.
She as a hero rn in a vaccum isn’t strong, but some of the extremely stupidly made maps makes her so since the maps decide our options to interact with her and to some extent, longer range hitscans. This is also the reason why she’s not as prevalent in pro play as in our matches since they do know more about each maps and the options the maps provides to deal with her.
This is also the reason why previous interaction of sombra is a good counter since she requires neither massive team coordination nor map quirks to handle her.
