How annoyed would the characters be? What would change?
I’m imagine Widow’s sniper would be comically too big for Tracer and Widowmaker wouldn’t be as agile as Tracer, so it’d be funny to see them try and do each other’s jobs.
Also, for the sake of argument, Widow would definitely have Tracer’s blink whether or not she could in lore.
tracer did try to join talon one time…
i don’t believe either one of those heroes would smart enough to figure out how to use the other ones gun
Tracer would ask Widow “why does your gun get longer!?” and widow would scream because she got her thumb caught in the cylinder part of Tracer’s gun.
Gameplay technically would probably change little. A sniper with less HP but smaller hitbox and a frontline fighter/flanker with larger hitbox but more HP.
Lore Technically, Widow would have relatively few problems. She was weaponized by Talon and has accordingly been trained in all sorts of fighting styles and weapons. In addition, due to her training and previous history as a ballerina, she is more agile than a tracer (blinks and recall ignored).
Tracer on the other hand would probably have significant problems. On the one hand she is not used to the recoil of a sniper and would fall back on the ground because of incorrect posture and she would probably also have enormous problems hitting targets, since the sniper training is an elite training within the military and Tracer is actually a pilot and therefore probably never used rifles in exception of the basic training.
