Seems that nobody in the forums hates Widow

Why Widowmaker is hated, but Ashe is loved

Since the day Overwatch launched, I’ve seen people complain about Widowmaker. Either because she was a throw pick, because smurfs use her to climb quickly, because she dominates Grandmaster play, or (most commonly) because she’s not fun to play against. I’ve even seen people advocate for hero bans, specifically so they can ban Widowmaker. Compare that to Ashe, who has never garnered any significant amount of complaints since her release; if anything, people mourn the fact that she isn’t viable …

Widowmaker Rework

A few days ago I started a thread that apparently got people riled up quite a lot. Anyone who was curious about the state of Overwatch community got plenty of food for thought. Widowmaker is still not entertaining to play. That’s a statement I’m making here, and made before. I’ve had a lot of people agree with me, people disagreeing with me were also in high supply. I’ve made arguments as to why she needs a rework in threads before, no need to repeat them here, but instead, let’s think how we …

If you hate watching GOATS, then nerf Widowmaker

I think Widowmaker (along with post-rework Hanzo, to some extent) has warped the high-level meta around her for a long time, and is long overdue for changes. Widowmaker is partly to blame for the current dominance of GOATS in tournament play. There are team comps that can beat GOATS (namely, Quad DPS), but as you can see in this video, Quad DPS immediately becomes much less effective if the GOATS team brings out a Widowmaker of their own: For those who are too lazy to watch, the Quad DPS tea…

Redesign Widowmaker from the Ground-up

Widowmaker needs a Symmetra-style rebuild. Just disassemble her kit completely, and make a new hero with the Widowmaker assets you already have plus some minor new art here and there where necessary. Widowmaker has three problems: A toxic skill curve, over specialization on mechanical aim, and poor counter-play. All three need to be addressed, and simple nerfs cannot handle it. Toxic Skill Curve We all know the pain of having a Widowmaker in our games who spends the entire game doing nothing. …

No, Widowmaker isn't balanced

She is an undivable killing machine who is only countered by another Widowmaker clicking her head. She needs a grapple cooldown nerf. Right now, the entire meta is centered around her, moreso than Hanzo on a lot of larger maps like Watchpoint: Gibraltar or Illios Ruins. Just look at what Saebyeolbe said about Widowmaker recently: " I play Widowmaker a lot these days, but even if I win by carrying with Widow it feels sad and bitter. The meta these days is so Widow-dominant, that as long as you …

Remove Widowmaker or give her hard nerfs (Serious)

im sick of widowmaker ruining this game, she can play at range and not be contested by anyone. widowmaker requires an equally as good hanzo, a better widowmaker, or an entire team composition swap (i.e deathball to dive/quad dps) to properly counter in high levels of play. that is bad game design. if an entire team needs to swap to counter one hero that is purely bad game design. im also sick that people say “LUL SHE TAKES SKILL THO” no, no she does not. widowmaker takes as much skill as ever…
