Remove Widowmaker or give her hard nerfs (Serious)

I’ve said this earlier, but I’ll say it again. The ‘high skill’ argument is complete nonsense. If a hero is overpowered, they’re overpowered. Just because they’re high skill shouldn’t mean that they’re allowed to be completely broken.

Glad to see new baits

But not priority due to long cooldowns

Correction: Tracer and Genji ruled dive in the earlier iterations of the meta. Widowmaker ruled the final iterations of dive.

and about ideas again- 100 charge and more ammo used- Its cool and challenging more (kind of) but god widow wont miss more anyway

Right. But she isnt broken by balance, just by design.

She isnt broken until shes piloted by a person who passes the skill threshold that makes her broken.

Which is why, again, heroes with such a high skill ceiling need limitations added to their kits.

The widow is capable of doing what she does beforehand without team work while the enemy team requires a certain team composition and much more team work than is required to keep the enemy widow alive. Not to mention it’s still not as simple as diving her

Believe it or not, shields don’t last long in high elo, and are not a viable option to counter a widow. But keep on talking as if you know what it’s like in my games/

It’s funny, it’s almost like widows get picks mid fight, and the only thing that can reliably stop widow shots is a wall.

One of the best meta comps right now doesn’t use a shield tank???

Observe screenshot above. Your arguments will never work because you are not up here, and will not experience things the way we do unless you improve and actually get to GM. Good luck with that, considering you think you know more than GM’s, and we wouldn’t try any of the things you may have suggested if they were even a viable option

You must have missed some of my earlier replies, but I’ll fill you in again.

Simply by having the threat of a Widowmaker, you force the enemy to play in a much more submissive and cautious way than they would otherwise. The only other hero in the game who does this is Sombra.

It takes far more coordination and resources to dislodge a Widowmaker than it does for said player to play Widowmaker in the first place.

wat

She’s still a Junkrat main so, again, I don’t care what she says about Widowmaker, junkrats best counter. Not reading anything further it’s clear she’s biased and you just want to defend her for whatever reason.

In your rank Sombra may be a joke. But I’m talking objectively here.

At least I have the balls to have an open profile

maybe so but you’re the first person I’ve ever seen to call Sombra as oppressive as Widow

I find that hard to believe, considering the fact that Sombra has abilities on par with Widowmaker’s. She can completely disable enemy abilities, and Widowmaker can one-shot across the map from a safe distance.

No, I really don’t. You keep on plugging your ears to what GM players repeatedly tell you. It has nothing to do with who it is, and has to do with what she has to say. You can’t look past this however, and this is coming from someone who used to have the same opinion as you and used practically the same argument. If you ever get up here, you’ll understand. Until then, stop using arguments we wouldn’t have tried before. Out of 4 GM’s in this thread, only one disgarees.
