Out of all of Widow’s skins, i actually find that her Winter skin is quite useful on “Cold” Maps. they tend to have a nearly white sky, and bleached out environments, Like ecopoint antarctica.
And that fact that her head remains smaller in that skin visually, helps keep you better hidden while peeking corners. :3
Which tbh, is why i’ll never use my Noire skin in a competitive setting…

Her head is made visually Slightly Larger, so… Peeking corners in less effective against enemy widows… sadly.
That, and the dang hair thing is larger too, Meaning it can swing out before you actually peek, giving away your position to any enemies who are paying close attention…
It’s still one of my favorites tho!
Just… i’ll never use it competitively.
(Unless i’m feeling SUPER Confident in my aim or something. X3)
Oh, and if you are on ANY Darker map, like Kings row, Nuit is your new best friend.
It’s such a Basic Skin, but trust me… In any kind of slightly darker setting, it makes her about 1000x less visible. (Especially when crouching, and scoped)
It’s a legit strategy to use less flashy, and extremely visible skins… at least, it’s worked for me.
Or, skins that roughly match the intended environment.
