Sick of every single game, literally EVERY SINGLE GAME, 10 in a row with Widow or double Widows.
As someone who main the support role there is absolutely nothing to do/pick or counter a Widow from my POV, all I have to do its stay scared behind walls until one of the Widows win the duel or the enemy Widow dies first.
From every angle I get one shot no matter what I pick and if I dont have a Winston/Reinhart or a character that can put a shield its even a more miserable experience, and if this wasn’t enough Widow Ultimate basically means stay in your respawn and count to 20 seconds letting the enemy push the payload/robot for free because as soon you show yourself there is the Widow camping with legit wallhack.
Lucio - can dive widow. Not specifically sure if in this particular patch lucio can 1 tap combo a widow but usually he can. A single left click into widow with some headshots into a boop/punch.
zen - you can charge up a right click from cover and peak to snipe widow. Even if you are too scared to commit to a right click you can peak enough to discord her - your whole team can see that so she’s tagged and she’ll either die easily or be forced to rotate.
kiri - can 2 tap widow without fall off damage
ana - my main, i actually like challenging widows with ana. Widow can be 3 shot by ana. If you see the widow first and are the one to initiate the duel widow will have only 1 chance to kill you if she even had her scope charged up before you can land your 2nd and 3rd shot + you have the advantage of no fall off reduction which widow does have. You can also sleep her / nade her increasing your odds even more. My favorite combo is sleeping her then just tossing a nade from across the map, lining up an unscoped shot to land the same moment my anti lands then insta scope in for the kill shot combo.
Mercy (lol -but) i mean if you play mercy you can totally counter widow during valk. Not an ideal counter hero but some people just wanna mercy and you can use your valks to kill a widow no problem. I usually only use valk to save myself from death, secure a rez, or to chase down and kill easy targets.
illari - I wouldn’t personally try to duel a widow on illari, but if the widow is within mid range and not outside illari’s falloff you could 2 tap headshot widow. also can use pylon to block your crit box. I think she does… 70 dmg a shot? So 3 body shots to kill widow?
moira - moira can be sneaky. dmg orb her and right click bob and weave. Honestly you can just send dmg orbs at her and usually widow will just see the orb coming and then rotate to not take the dmg from the orb if you just wanna play safe. Some times just harassing a widow so they never feel safe peaking themselves is enough to devalue them.
Those are just the ways I’d counter widow if it was all just down to me… But usually one of my dps or tank obviously steps up to challenge the widow and all you have to do is help enable them… That opens up every single support to be able to counter widow when you look at it like that. Just recognize what hero they are using to counter the widow then pick how you gonna support that. - I like juno for this. Speed ring helps everyone close the distance surprisingly quick + your right click literally can’t miss and does 1/3 of the job for you even if you don’t help with any other dmg.
Basically, throw the game and play “flank moira/lucio” leaving my team with one support less meanwhile I risk the whole match getting one shot from across the map.
You can’t duel a one shot - no fall off damage character with a support in this game specially if the Sniper its BEHIND 4 people and of course gets pocket/healed etc.
People are gonna say learn her counters but that’s just a way to avoid addressing her actual problems, idk why people just wanna ignore characters problems, probably because they exploit that character
you’re weird dude… I never once argued with you about widow being an issue or gave my opinion on it one way or the other.
I just gave 1 or 2 tips on which supports can counter widow and how they do it… at the end I told you it’s better to support/enable a team mate to do the countering, and suggested you could also just pressure widow instead of straight up countering her by discording her or sending dmg orbs at her to force her to rotate.
Have fun dying to widows forever. Also wanna know a secret? Once you actually get out of bronze, there are less tiers that can Smurf you!
That is the only argument ever. “I do not wanna play the game that way”. You know I do not wanna play Mcree either but here I am picking him every time there are genji, balls, doomfist, tracer, sombra. Game is built around counters. Everyone has to swap.
I never switch. Ever qp privilege, you find people bad enough at their character to force them to switch (even though they are supposed to counter you)
You don’t wanna switch? Play quick play. Don’t like quick play? Can’t help you.
