Ive seen people carry games with her, streamers saying that she is broken. And im wondering if its worth to invest time to learn her.

Eh. In the current meta in her current state, unless you are a literal god tier widow she won’t contribute much.
You’re better off learning soldier or tracer unless you’re very confident you’ll be a really good widow.

nothing in this game is worth learning at this point

Ya, it is, imo.
The value you can get with her if you are good is incredibly high.

Also helps to learn how to play a hero as a means of learning how to play against them as well……so even if you don’t plan on playing her much I think it’s beneficial
There isn’t much to learn about Widow, it’s mostly mechanical skill so if you don’t have good aim you have to practice for probably 100s of hours to get value. You’d probably be better off playing/practicing other things.

She can instantly punish anyone that shows her their head if you can aim good enough.
Think about all the times a squishy shows you their head when you are playing and you’ll see how hard she can carry if you could aim.
So it’s up to you if you want to dedicate the time to it.
Literally only hitscans and Tracer are worth learning, so yes.
on havana especially. best map with her. most payload maps are good for widow tho. dont try 2 cp or small maps with widow unless you want pain. or can hit every shot, there are widows that good (not me)
Widow is the hardest carry in the game if you dominate with her. I saw that ChipSa had a # of games ruined by widow stat next to his W : L stats on his stream.
If you’re going to learn a high skill floor/ceiling hero you should just learn Tracer instead.
Tracer is also a high skill floor and high ceiling. Learning one basically teaches you the other
Learning her won’t make you magically better if it is not the hero for you.
Not really though. Tracer has very little in common with Widow.
Regardless Tracer is more resistant to meta changes than Widow but she is also harder to play.

I would basically just learn Soldier and Tracer then. Soldier because he is the easiest hitscan and no longer falls off at higher ranks and Tracer because you’ll have the aim from learning Soldier and she will teach you more about movement and techs.
Then after it won’t he hard to pick up Ashe, McCree, Genji and Widow
Me who’s missing her achievement: I mean… it’s not like I have a choice?
Any hero is worth learning.
I dunno. What’s your tolerance for watching paint dry?
Depends on your goal. If you want free SR, then just play the type of hero which you are better at.
If ur a high IQ person, play Macro/Moba heroes.
If you are an average person but with some coordination, play hitscan.
I find moba heroes very easy while I find it takes me a long time to learn micro, many hours in the aim trainer.
every shot you do, which is not instakill, increases your chances to loose that game by ~5%, now you decide.
