Before you hate on it, take a moment to realise it’s an epic tier skin. You know, the ones that cost 250c (or 750c for new event epics). As a result, it has little to no model changes (although this one had little spidey legs coming from the visor onto her face, i believe. Also her eyes were completely black from what i could tell, which is a nice detail.).
In addition to that, Widow has a whole suite of ATLEAST decent skins; Nova, Black lily, Talon, Cote d’azur… Honestly, she is definitely not lacking in the skin department. If you don’t like this new skin; don’t worry, there are atleast 5 legendary skins you can get for her at anytime, and 3 other legendaries during the Summer games, Archives and Lunar events.
Besides, she could always get a legendary for next halloween; Symmetra and Ana both got an epic during halloween 2016, but got legendaries for halloween 2017.

When I first saw the skin, I honestly did not expect people to complain about it so much. It looks awesome.

Compare it to other event epic skins and you might understand why people don’t like it too much.
scrooge mccree is a masterpiece, this is lazy.

Even when comparing it, it still very much looks like an epic skin should.

So the Halloween party gets moved to Widow’s place and instead of properly dressing up for the occasion Widow just changes some colors on her normal outfit… that is really really lame.

I mean it is basically a recolour

It’s not just a recolour. Look closer at the skin.

If it was truly only a recolor then yes. Rare.
But this DOES add details and compared to the trash epics we usually see this is leagues ahead of it.
Skins like hellfire come once in a blue moon, it’s not like Blizz suddenly slacked off I don’t understand those thinking that way at all

I did, if anything it is an awkward middle between rare and epic
The skin looks great it actually seems like what her original character skin should of been spider themed.

Comparing it to other epics already existing in the game you can see that it’s definitely more than just a rare. I mean, just look at Peacock Symmetra for example.
It just needs to not use her default purple so much. A lot more black and white would have done wonders
They’re different shades of purple.
I actually really like it. Yes its simple, but the spider web designs look pretty rad.
Also its not the first time epic’s have been just “recolors.” Look at american Mccree.
Or better yet Vampire Symmetra

i wanted to upvote you, but i used all my upvotes. +1
I’m actually glad they’re doing epic skins as well. Because you are gonna get epics in your boxes, and it’s nice to actually get some new epics instead of just an endless amount of duplicates and having the only items you need all be locked behind the extremely low legendary drop rates.
I also like that they put effort into making the epic recolors much cooler looking and stand out. There’s a lot of cool detail in this skin such as her black eyes with glowing purple iris, the web textures and higher detailed suit.

Oh yes we should all applaud the overwatch team for giving the spider themed sniper a spider themed skin… sigh
