The widow argument

As somebody who has actually played Widow primarily and regularly before and after the buff, I can tell you that, in practice, I’ve had more success kiting and killing people who think they’re free to jump on me and kill me than I did when I had effectively no chance of getting away from them, and more important, I way less frequently get caught by a diver with my hook still on cooldown.

This sort of condescension is completely unnecessary. I’m literally THE person keeping track of Widow’s bugs and issues. You don’t think I played Widow both before and after the buff?

10 seconds isn’t 6 seconds, but it sure as hell isn’t 14 seconds, either. Her counters maintaining (a smaller degree of) superior mobility doesn’t make the benefits of the buff less considerable.

People citing ad nauseum that an 8 second cooldown lets her escape every single time doesn’t mean that it’s true.

The fact that OWL pros (and trickling down the ladder more and more) literally AIM AT THE GROUND to escape instead of using the ability as intended shows that her movement isn’t good.

Her movement is improved, sure, but it’s not hard to improve on garbage. Garbage movement that still retains a 1/3 to 1/2 failure rate, showing up 4 seconds earlier, is still garbage movement. That doesn’t mean she’s suddenly in the running for best movement, and it certainly doesn’t mean that she’s uncounterable.
