Nothing more to say at this point

I’m praying for one. I legit hate this hero more than any other. People complain about Doomfist but I find Widow to be the worst.

What kind of nerf you want? Seems people want all 1 shots gone which means she’s no longer a sniper.

I think she should only one shot with full charge

At this point, in the double shield meta, Doom may be worse than Widow. He doesn’t even care if you have shields.

1.5x multiplier for headshots unless it’s at 100% charge, in which case it does the current maximum. Shots charge 15% slower.
Or just add a “breathing” effect to her scoped-in rifle, swaying it back and forth a bit as you aim down the sights. Using her ultimate allows Widow to “Hold her breath” for 2 seconds when aiming down the sights.

I can’t imagine why she needs 10 shots on her alt-fire combined with a pittance of a reload time.
The last thing a hero with that much impact needs is endless chances.

No, she needs to oneshot. The problem is that she can spam oneshots.
Lots of good ideas listed so far.
There’s a reason she’s the undisputed queen smurf pick. No hero should be able to have the kind of solo impact she does.
She’s also way too mobile for a sniper.

Sigma needs it more. I know he’s a tank and tanks deserve specialtreatment btw
Charge time increase. Enough that she can’t one shot two 200s in one grapple. Make it an internal cooldown thing so she can do the first shot at the current speed but any shot within 3 seconds of a shot is longer to charge or something like that.

It may be clown time, but the more pressing issue they need to address is the fact barrier tanks have reached critical mass with the introduction of Sigma and it is distorting the game in an unhealthy way.
I suggest Nerf Sigma’s shield health down, see how it flies then see what else after that.
I 100% agree Widow is an issue but I’m not sure of the fix but am almost certain it is a mobility issue (just like it is for Hanzo).
Perhaps nerfing the cooldown of her hookshot, would be a start.

Give her higher recoil or make her flinch when being attacked.
Give her less ammo or a longer reload
Give her higher zoom so she has less close-range viability
There’s other ways to nerf her while keeping her one-shot.

Why call for widow nerfs in double shield meta? Waste of a wish, doom should be the target of this thread.

Nerf them BOTH then.

imagine hating on a hero that takes the most skill in this game and also is literally trashcan-tier in the current meta, basically a throw pick.
A new level of stupid.

Why would you nerf a hero that’s not even dominant in the current meta? Besides the fact that Widowmaker has multiple ways to be countered and multiple options as to how to deal with her, you can’t disregard the amount of skill she needs to be played properly.
She is not even a decent DPS against the new meta. There’s abundance of shields in this game, use them.

While I struggle to find a reason. 
I can’t wait for a moira nerf and another sym nerf. 
Was already a great start by blizzard.

I want to see current GM stats on Moira, because even ML7 is having to play Moira. It’s a mad world.

she is very mobile as a sniper though, ever dive her as a sombra, winston, genji, tracer, dva?
You use your mobility to be close to her but she can grab away and snipe back to you, And you’re stuck at where you are because your mobility is still on cooldowns.
If she wants to be mobile and one shot at least she should be low hp like tracer, so she is vulnerable in close range and hard to pocket for healers like mercy

Devs are in a big dilemma cause they wanna balance the game but not nerf all dps that is better than Original Overwatch in fear the game will be stalemate.
They have no middle.
