⬲ Welcome Your Sniper Overlords! ⟴

General Discussion

The sniper meta is likely upon us. Snipers are weak to dive. Dive has been nerfed, (see: D.Va, Tracer, and Genji changes). Possible counters for dive are being introduced and buffed, (see: Brigitte, Reaper, and Mei). Widowmaker has already been dominant in OWL. Now thanks to Hanzo’s rework and more specifically his lunge, he is much more able to survive. With that lunge and his medium range prowess, he can have point presence. Storm Arrows also significantly raise his skill cap and damage / elimination potential. As for the sniper combo, just think of the synergistic effect of Widow getting the benefit of Sonic Arrow and Hanzo getting the benifit of Infra-sight.

If you think main tank shields will keep this from happening, just think of what happens to heroes clustered behind a shield when they get hit with a Graviton Surge and Dragon Strike. Or think about the ability to get picks with an Orisa halting someone from behind a shield followed by a sniper headshot, or both snipers body shotting for that matter. And just as a bonus, Ana is getting a buff.

So I say to you ladies and gentlemen: Bow down, and welcome your sniper overlords! Bwahahahaha!

Ohhh, maybe they will take Mei’s falloff off her.

Sniper Mei is BEST Mei (she would get a pick rate after that, that is for sure).

just sneak up behind the sniper and kill them, most snipers in Overwatch have Scope fever, and seemingly never descope to get a better world view.

For some reason I imagine you like that when you get assists:

I always enjoy a Mei on the team to slow down/freeze enemies. It makes HSing them with Widowmaker or Hanzo easier.

The only Mei I hate are troll Mei that keep walling your teammates in.

I normally play Bastion ans if I can sneak up on a sniper and kill them then Scope fever is at pandemic levels amongst the snipers. :stuck_out_tongue: lol

Everytime a Mercy boosts me instead of Soldier, a tear falls… I feel like someone still have faith that I’m not a troll!

Yeah I never understood that logic. Even a sniper getting body shots while boosted is scary. And boosting a sniper means my stupid butt doesn’t have to be in the front lines. Mercys thrive with spread out team comps, you’d think they would be happy seeing a widow.

Well unless you bury yourself on the high ground so I can’t get to you. That’s maddening.

The mask, but less horrifying.
