They better nerf Widowmaker today!

Balance patch is releasing in a bit more than one hour and they BETTER nerf this hero! She’s been making the game absolutely miserable for two weeks now (it’s definitely more than two weeks but it’s just unbearable now).

Give her the original projectile size (zero/pinpoint) and reduce her range!

I get the Widow frustration and I am not here to try to extinguish it.

But…y’all…we’ve seen the balance team. Why do we think they’re going to nerf her, when they reworked several maps, nerfed a hero to stop countering her during the season she got a mythic, and never actually addressed her even with the global HP changes and hitbox changes?

It’s…probably not going to happen.

Lol, and I just thought of the perfect fix.

  • 4sec grapple cooldown
  • Firing a scoped shot, puts grapple on cooldown

So that any time you see that red line and a loud bullet noise.

You know it’s Dive time.

Like ringing a dinner bell.

so what you’re suggesting is give widow the sombra treatment, and remove her ability to escape entirely… BOOO

I’m saying Widow should mind her positioning better, and stand in safer locations, and rely on her teammates more to stay alive.

Which is a skill issue, if she can’t do that.

Right? :slight_smile:

Damn alright bro go off king

When genji gets 30 dmg shurikens

Can even push to 32.

that is a new level of putting words in people’s mouth…

So what would think would be the best high ELO tierlist order for DPS?

DPS PICKRATE:PC, COMP, GRANDMASTERS - LAST 30 DAYS

  1. :small_orange_diamond:Reaper
  2. :small_orange_diamond:Cassidy
  3. :small_orange_diamond:Tracer
  4. :small_orange_diamond:Ashe
  5. :small_orange_diamond:Genji
  6. :small_orange_diamond:Widowmaker
  7. :small_orange_diamond:Soldier: 76
  8. :small_orange_diamond:Bastion
  9. :small_orange_diamond:Mei
  10. :small_orange_diamond:Junkrat
  11. :small_orange_diamond:Hanzo
  12. :small_orange_diamond:Venture
  13. :small_orange_diamond:Sojourn
  14. :small_orange_diamond:Torbjörn
  15. :small_orange_diamond:Sombra
  16. :small_orange_diamond:Pharah
  17. :small_orange_diamond:Echo
  18. :small_orange_diamond:Symmetra

Ok bro it’s time to calm down

They don’t own a radio snow what are you stuck in 90s or traffic they use Spotify

Weird huh?

Tracer genji cass soldier echo reaper junkrat sombra ashe widow hanzo mei torb pharah

There are no strict rules are bias.

Apart from tracer have to be meta is a necessity for the proper functioning of the game.

I want to pair a proper dive dps with tracer obviously genji is the og best buddy that has fallen out of favour and the most popular dps.

Also echo reaper simply can’t get there without being too op or reworked

Sombra hardly ever work and is a more a hybrid.

Just get genji there , cass is good purely for a good skill matchup contest to dive.

Soldier is vanilla and accepted

Then I want sombra reaper junkrat in before hanzo widow but without breaking or nerfing any of them tooo much

She already has to do that… grapple is the only thing keeping her from having a worse death rate than Sombra, who already set a record for highest death rate out of the history of the game…

I honestly don’t think they’re going to touch her. If they did it’s always something with grapple cool down or health to 175. I guess it helps for some heroes to deal with her but if the player can shoot, it isn’t going to change much. Unless another dps becomes better overall than Widow then they just replace the pick

Why is Widow not supposed to have a higher death rate than Generalist heroes?

She’s got basically infinite range, infinite killspeed, and infinite projectile speed.

That should come at a cost.

Yo Falcon, what do you think of this?

  • Input to shot delay (small delay between clicking and shooting).
    *This gives her an artificial projectile weakness, adding a new element of prediction, or good track-aim skills.

What magic is that it’s how I see it sometimes sorry snow couldn’t resist :rofl:

Maybe, idk.

At this point I’d want to test anything out. I just hope that if they do change anything, it’d be beneficial and still make her fun to play.

But, honestly, I’d doubt they even do anything for her. We’re over 8+ years in and they haven’t given her a meaningful change. Even with the HP change, she was still strong. :melting_face:
