I am a huge fan of the Sombra nerfs, QP has become significantly more fun, but it has caused WM’s to run rampant in QP. Since its QP tanks are not going to change to counter (which is understandable, it is QP), and if I’m DPS I don’t have a hard counter option. So can we get a QP specific nerf on WM to reduce how unfun playing against her can be?

so you need a hard counter to be able to fight widow?
depending on your rank you have many options.
Torb cannot be oneshoted and has a good suppression fire.
Pharah, depending on the map can reach and kill Widow fairly good
Sombra is still a pain for widow, if played well.
Genji and Tracer are both very good options.
And you always can play Widow yourself
Hanzo can also work.
It’s QP, so it’s more about having enough options so less folks play her or hop off of her quickly (like many would hop off of WM immediately once they saw a pre-nerf Sombra). I’m just tired of that one character being played in every QP match, especially when she isn’t even fun to play against to begin with.
As much as I dislike widow, if she is too strong she should get a nerf. No hero should get a nerf specific to qp because people don’t like them.
It’s more like she was designed for 2x Tanks, and 1x Tank having to Dive her TWICE in rapid succession, is a lot more difficult.
She wasn’t designed for 5v5.
And she doesn’t fit in 5v5.
So make her fit in 5v5.
By giving her “Synthetic Counterplay”.
By making it so she can’t hold on to an escape cooldown while Sniping.
I.e.
- 4sec Grapple cooldown
- Using Snipeshot puts Grapple on a 4sec cooldown
So if you hear a Snipershot go off. There’s a big red line pointing to were it came from. And Widow can’t grapple for 4sec.
Genji and Tracer are the OG Widow counters. Deflect it into her face while you’re closing distance.

In ranked people will work together to counter if necessary. QP doesn’t have that, so there needs to be an added measure to ensure the fun isn’t lost in the mode specifically for fun.
this does not hinder you using all those heroes I have listed.
- that would be arcade, QP is more sweaty then comp since OW2 launch.
- Hard counters remove fun completely from the game since they invalidate your skill on a hero completely or you need to be tremendously better then your opponent.
