Why?
to bring hype, more people over from other fps
We don’t need more valorant like heroes, we need less denial abilities and to stop removing hero identity to where hanzo can’t even one shot a support when widows bullets are more consistent as hitscan. We do not need more csgo type heroes
Paladins has two handgun heroes, while Overwatch only has one. Overwatch is slacking with dps heroes
Because It literally wouldn’t even matter where she was on the tierlist, by nature hanzo is worse
What makes you think Marketing is more important to a business than Sales?
Much less how effective hype from high ELO players is at pulling in people who don’t play Overwatch.
If Widow had 50hp, would she be better than Hanzo?
And paladins has 1/10th of the playerbase overwatch has where 6,000 people were playing on steam consistently this week.

I’d rather not ruin overwatch’s niche by turning it into another cookie cutter tac shooter

No? Obviously not. That doesn’t change the fact that in the games current state she can oneshot most of the cast and she is one of 2 characters hanzo can oneshot, so until they hire a bronze 5 person to be the head of the development team and that person gives widow 50hp, it doesn’t matter where widow is on a theoretical tier list. They are both snipers by design and of the 2 she’s the only one who can actively snipe. So by default she’s better
So then nerf Widow down to Hanzo tier

Which then removes skill expression from the game which we don’t need. We saw that last season where people got to GM by onetricking easy supports like kiriko and life weaver who were incredibly low skill due to damage denial and abilities that negated mistakes you made, and now in season 9 where players can execute and you don’t get away for free we have seen a significant amount of said players drop to diamond
Give hanzo 250hp headshot or at least revert his projectile speed, don’t nerf skill based heroes more than they already have

Just play Valorant lol
You keep asking for changes to make OW more like a tactical shooter. That genre still exists…

You don’t get it.
Overwatch needs more players.
It does not need players are any specific ELO level, because a dollar spends the same regardless of what the ELO is.

Yeah,well bringing low skill heroes into the limelight clearly hasn’t worked since we didn’t see a new influx of players last season, which was the lowest skill meta in ow2
Anything you say that translates to “Less players” or “Less dollars” for Blizzard, is entirely irrelevant to the health of the game.
Overwatch had the best TTK, movement in gaming and they ruined that increasing the hp, hitboxes.
by Valorant heroes I mean cool hitscan alternatives.
Ok and it clearly didn’t translate to more dollars or more players when the game was braindead last season. Yet coincidentally this season the devs have stated playtime across qp and comp is significantly higher to the point that this is the first season they have ever seen where more people are playing comp than qp, and this just so happens to be the highest skill meta in overwatch 2 since beta
I’m aware, I also suggested something very similar to this patch 3 months ago.
Including:
- Less Burst Damage
- Tank/DPS regen passive with 5sec activation
- 20% less healing midcombat
- A Pharah rework where she has less fuel regen in the air, but more on the ground, with a horizontal dash, and less selfdamage from explosions
