Can we temporarily disable widow

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to see her potential lol

Even during her play test I was arguing tooth and nail over her. Everyone wanted to call her bad, but my 80% winrate said otherwise

:joy:

Ye be careful when you wanna METAPHOR INCOMING before some genious wanna flag this, jump into the lava because you have an earned ego, you will melt anyway.

is a skill issue in every rank. otherwise is like you’re saying ‘‘in t500 we move automatically and get kills randomly’’ so you’re insulting your whole rank.

come in qp vs teams of stacked gm dude, so yes.

Then I change the way yo say it so even someone like you will understand, is not what you say is HOW you say it and is because of that, that none ever listen to you, is called charisma dude and you don’t have any.

That is actually one of the many reason I dont mind being in plat.

Like back in OW1 when people were going on and on about double shields and goats, I never really had to deal with those. Its a perk of not being in the top 10%.

Widow is still 100% a issue at my rank, but thank god i dont have to deal with widows that land more shot then they miss.

then you played against some bums gang idk what to tell you lmfao or you had a dive tank which again I already said is not a sombra countering widow thing, it’s a dive counter widow thing. To which sombra could be replaced by any dps and do the same, and hell if you played tracer you could just straight up do better / more.

No competent backline should be letting a widow die to a lone sombra.

man just say you were terrible at playing the braindead version of sombra and be done with it, i am telling you, it was possible to just crap on a widow with sombra if you had good timing, now you cant do that.

???

do you have eyes or what

Ok, nvm, I can see now showing as desktop. Your take is still dumb. There’s no way a brig juno can’t peel off a sombra last season.

are yall incapable of playing other dive/rush heroes? there are entire team comps that counter widow

Or the devs could actually balance her…

Oh wait, I forgot, it’s Overwatch, lol! There’s not such thing as balance!

funny enough this is a side effect of forcing every other hitscans fall-off to be too low to contest widow. cant believe i still see people on here asking for more hitscan nerfs lmao

and I’m telling you that any competent support lineup / widow is not dying to a lone sombra.

waiting for the perfect moment with sombra is you giving time for someone on your team to get dome topped and if you’re just engaging with a dive tank, again that’s no longer a sombra thing. Any dive DPS can deal with widow if they have the dive tank with them engaging as well.

it may have worked for you in your outlier anecdotal games but I’ve SEEN it consistently not work past diamond, way more than I ever saw it work. Hence why sombra was lesser played than widow and with a worse winrate.

But why couldn’t they also do something to Widow? Genuinely curious. Especially with what they’ve been doing to Hanzo. 250 headshot would work wonders and allow some breathing room for other heroes

It doesn’t, people that can aim are still getting damage off more consistently and getting more headshots.

Zee bronze players are not suddenly gold because of the changes.

She got buffs after she came out though

She was meta even before them and I’ll die on that hill

how come its anecdotal for me but not for thee? how come as soon as sombra got nerfed widow is played in literally every match, how come i saw sombra being played against widow in every match before the rework in gm?

yeah they only messed with hanzo bc of the “luck” element to his oneshots by being able to spam a sightline with them.

widow just cant be the same hero she is now without her one shot, just like when hanzo lost his one shot he disappeared from the game. people like arrge who main hanzo and even have 9000+hrs on hanzo were sitting in plat/diamond lol

i personally would just want cree/soldier/ashe to have competent enough fall-off to contest the widow without just being forced to mirrormatch or straight up counter her

That is the point lol

She cant keep being the same hero she is now, not after Blizz removed so many of her intended counterplay.

Its insane that Sym and Mercy were butchered by bad reworks thanks to fraudulent lies, but Widow gets a pass at breaking the game since early OW1 because muh sniper.

High ranks are back to the ‘‘Win the Widow Mirror or lose’’ game state that forced GOATS into existence.
