So lets say Jeff granted you one wish, maybe two

That could give you anything in OW you want, weather it be giving yourself a limited time skin (Pink Mercy for example), or giving one hero a set of buffs or nerfs to your choosing, or maybe allow you to remove a map from QP or Comp rotations. Pretty much a wish that can give you whatever you want in OW. What would you do with it?

Personally, I would use that wish to make Widowmaer’s Noire Outfit a legendary available for double the standard price. (2000 Credits). With my personal list of Widow buffs, of course.

The Widow Buffs in Question

Widowmaker

Widow's Kiss

General

  • Ammo reduced to 30 from 35.

Scoped

  • Scoped Shot Cost reduced to 3 from 5. (10 shots per clip from 7)
  • Damage falloff removed.

Unscoped/SMG

  • Damage increased to 15 to 13. (150 DPS from 130 | 450 Damage per clip from 455)
  • Spread reduced to 2.4 from 3.00.

Grappling Hook

  • Cooldown reduced to 10 from 12.

Venom-Mine

  • Damage per second increased to 18 from 15. (90 Damage Total from 75)
  • Cooldown reduced to 13 from 15.
Essentially, revert the weapon and ammo nerfs she got before the health nerf. With a SMG buff to make it a slightly more viable damage option with the damage buff, along with tightening the spread to make it more consistent and less erratic. I feel like 12 second Grapple is a tiny bit too long... but 8 second grapple is far too fast. So, I think 10 is a decent middle ground to take. I might trade the Grapple buff for 200 HP back, but I feel like 175 HP opens up counter play against Widow, so I'll keep her health 175. The Venom-Mine buff allows Widow to use Venom-Mine a bit more often, while also making it more effective with extra damage. Add the Noire Widowmaker skin being available and voilà, my 2 wishes are granted.

Bonus Experiment

NEW: Poisoned Caress

A new passive for Widowmaker. Enemies affected by Venom-Mine take 25% Bonus Damage from Widowmaker. When Infra-Sight is active, Damage is increased by 10%. Damage bonuses stack. Allies damage is not affected by this passive.
Damage Source Base DMG VM Boost Infra-Sight Boost Combined Bonus
SMG 15 18.75 16.5 20.25
Sniper 120 (100% Charge) 150 132 162
Melee 30 37.5 33 40.5

NOTE: SMG damage is based off it’s buffed 15 damage, rather than it’s current 13 on live.

I’d wish for Winston’s and Bastion’s Blizzcon skins. Didn’t play Overwatch when Bastion’s released and was new when Winston’s released so I didn’t know.

Got all limited time skins except for these two. :tired_face:

I’d want a massive amount of Activision-Blizzard, Inc. voting stock.

Gotta get that coin.
(I don’t know how stocks work so I might be wrong.)

The coin is nice but the real objective is to steer Actiblizzion away from any major disasters. Probably won’t be able to micromanage balance but I care more about existential threats to the game.

Reveal who that couple and kid was in the Christmas comic; the one Reaper was watching creepily in rain.

  1. Rework of Symmetra to my choosing which includes new passive, Orb Function/Stats, Turret Function/stats and Ultimate feature

  2. A chance to play the build they are internally testing of OW2

Please don’t. I just spent 85 dollars on that like 2 weeks ago.

I would buy Noire, but 85-100$ seems like too much for me sadly.
