Please buff Widowmaker

General Discussion

So after the out-of-nowhere nerf to her hook a few months back, can we please perhaps revert this? She never truly was a problem, Hanzo was after his rework and people seemed to suck it out of their fingers that Widow was part of some meta.

Widow is my favourite character right after Symmetra, I hope they do something with her because trust me the nerf is more noticeable, especially that now they’ve added a hero that counters her (Hammond) and one that is able to challenge her (Ashe)…

Please save Widow

I don’t know, I’ve seen a couple of D.Va nerf threads.

And what makes you say this? Hanzo is no longer OP like he was after his rework because he can’t spam Storm Arrows. That was the main problem, not snipers, just reckless Hanzo players rushing everyone and getting away with it. He’s balanced now.

Says the one trick in qp and comp.

you know, I’d be fine with the current hook, if they just let her hook to a wall spot and perch up there, maybe let there be a spiderman type dangling, it would match the cinematic and look cool for some upside down shots

Sym onetricks are as rare as snow in July now. You could say that I am one, but I do flex when our team needs a healer. I didn’t do this before her rework.

Haha nice meme.

what do you expect when a large chunk of these forums want nothing to happen to their “gamer waifu”

Dva’s been part of every single meta and its all because of Defense matrix

Wait, wait, wait.
Are you saying there are DIFFERENT people on this forum with DIFFERENTIATING opinions? Now that’s just outrageous and shocking! What do you think this is, some kind of message board where people discuss such things?

That’s just crazy.

She is fine now, and this is from a cross heart Widow main. I can count with my fingers the amount of times when 2 seconds less on hook actually mattered. If you don’t throw out your hook on CD trying to hookshot all the time, you’ll be fine.

But I agree that she didn’t need the nerf to begin with, since she wasn’t the direct cause of the meta. Whatever helps the whiners sleep at night and make them stay quite about one of the most balanced heroes in the game, so I can enjoy playing her in peace.

Widow doesn’t need a buff, she doesn’t need a nerf, she’s fine right where she is. Her hook cooldown was a bit too short at 8 seconds, to the effect that even Kephrii was saying to nerf her. Her mobility was just alittle too good, but now it’s in a good spot at 10 seconds. Also, did you notice they made it so hooks that don’t go anywhere, such as ones thrown at walls right infront of you, don’t trigger cooldown? That’s the only change I wanted for her, so i’m happy.
