hey its okay to not know the counters. They change too! 
Disruptor shot is an attack that forces a widow to play out of the original position and they have to relocate. plus the railgun’s alt fire really sends a strong beam down rage.
It offers more damage for less. And has a much bigger hitbox.
I need to play again and maybe post some replay codes. I typically “work” the map as such and play different positions at all times. Kings Row and Durado are my favorite.
Typically if you play Widowmaker. Play by the rules of:
A ) do NOT fire your weapon for any reason in a spawn room or while setting up a defense. The enemy team can hear you an know how to call out your presence and to “be ready for you”. They will also listen for your boots and it is a VERY unique sound that people listen for. I
- try and stay FAR back, and if I am setting up an attack room ambush. I stay crouched and walk.
B ) if you are playing Kings Row on attack. EVERYONE can predict that you are going to go window. So don’t. Go far left, almost EVERY time.
Almost EVERY enemy widow on “defense” sets up behind the statute. DONT be them. But you can get up on the ledge. land the shot because they are scoped in down range at the primary spawn door and it catches them off guard.
From here you can choose to swap if they continue playing widow. If they continue. I swap. If not. just keep going.
“Working” kings row is a matter of working the top ledge. from the bus and attacking from the Right side aiming to the first objective point. just “take shots” down that sight line and if need be. Work on damage to shields. They do break. At the right time, you can get in behind the enemy team and sneak past and “set up shop” in those windows and attack backwards from the objective and begin breaking their team’s focus and this allows your team to move in for the assault.
On defense; I almost always take RH business at the first choke point and watch window from a sharp angle. Almost gets an enemy widow every time.
C ) stay out of sight from your attacker’s spawn. if your character starts an automatic voiceline. FALL back, so it stays out of the audio range.
Last but not least. I keep Match and team chat off. I dont need to hear people raging in chat at me, and I have to be my own boss. It is called “Overwatch” overwatch means “sniper”.
I memorized where all the health packs are, I do not call out for healing. and if someone heals me. Great. I will endorse them.
If your team plays around you, you will do amazing. If they dont. just swap off and don’t waste your time. its luck of the draw. You can do this!
