How are you supposed to move?

With Barriers exploding instantly, I’m having trouble figuring out how a team is supposed to deal with instakill snipers if they don’t have a better sniper. You literally can’t get past choke these days without instantly blowing up. People say use cover, but what does that mean? You can’t both push and use cover, since the moment you peak to get to next cover the heads explode.

Finally someone who realizes how idiotic the saying “Just don’t peak” or “Use cover” is.

Imo, snipers need either some aggressive falloff, or some projectile bullets instead of hitscan.

Snipers don’t need falloff, they need to do less dmg or have more of a delay between shots. It’s simple, but then every diamond widow main would rush here and go crazy about how their her is “so bad now.”

This might surprise you to know there are alternative routes.

Routes that part of your team can take to apply pressure from differing angles.

It also might surprise you to know that hero’s exist that can put direct pressure on widow.

Widow has no downsides. She has an amazing escape, High ammo capacity, a short range firing option, Anti flank ability, all from nearly infinite range on high ground that not everyone can get to. Oh, and one shots.

It also might surprise u that snipers can just reposition.

With your own snipers, obviously, duh.

When I play dps, the only one of the hitscan crew I’m comfy with is Soldier. I used to be able to duel a widow as soldier when I could use barrier cover, but not now.

Just move faster 4Head

It might also surprise you to know widow cannot watch two sight lines at once.

Thus why I said “part” of your team can take a flank route.

That’s why Ashe exists, duh.

Split ur team? That doesn’t sound like a very good idea though.

Widow can just deal with the flankers if any (usually dps). BAM BAM. 4v6

So now you have two snipers with little barrier busting power. Making barriers useful against them.

U still have 4 other ppl on ur team tho.

Barriers don’t have health anymore, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed. Can’t even last past choke these days.

Both sides do. Which means your team which runs barrier busters will kill the double sniper frontline much faster in general.

Snipers need stable frontlines to perform well.

They last pretty long if your dps are two snipers.
