Why shouldn't Widow have 150hp?

She can oneshot 71% of the roster

Why shouldn’t a large portion of the roster be able to oneshot her?

“Um she requires skill”, the majority of the roster requires skill, that’s no reason for her to make them useless

Because she has the hitbox of a 200hp character. If she were to have the tiny hitbox that tracer or baby dva has then sure.

i find it easier to shoot tracer cause she crouches over slightly while widow is a stick

Honestly, I’m all for making her hit box smaller to have 150 HP. Winston would actually counter her harder.

But reminder that she’s very far away from the actual fight and has a pretty skinny body for a 200hp hero (who knew latex catsuits would be practical in a fight?)

I think Tracer and Baptiste actually have pretty similar hitboxes, when it comes to Tracer, what you can hit is bigger than what you can see.

At OP, that’d probably gut Widowmaker at most ranks sans smurfs, crush her at high ranks too but not completely.

Actually no
Her hitbox is only 13% larger than Tracer’s
While having 33% more HP

Just cause she can one shot doesnt mean that she should be 150hp.

Also, one shots in games like this arent end of the world. This game’s about killing enemies for crying out loud.
And all you’ve done is just whine about her. And asking how she should be nerfed.

No offense but theres reason why players like you shouldnt be taking seriously when it comes to balance ideas.

If she has 150 hp then the game becomes :”whichever pocketed Widow hits a body shot on the other first wins” every game. Takes away all skill of the Widow matchup

The reason is blatantly simple. That will make her not viable and she will dive in her winrate hard.

But I have a feeling you don’t care about balance, you just want an obstacle to be removed without an effort.

Do you really need to do other things if you pocket a Widow and they pop off?

big if esp according to anti widow op people. even if they are theres a good chance one healer isnt gonna be enough and with 150hp it wouldnt be as big of a deal anyways

Well, because Widow is one of the most balanced, middle of the pack heroes in the game who features one of the healthiest skill curves around.

Don’t fix what aint broke. She’s perfect already.

Nah, the only reason is because she’s balanced and would become less balanced if nerfed.

Now, the only reason why they would ever do that change? Because low skilled players become upset when they get outperformed by people who have more talent or skill than they have.

She has the same hitbox as Tracer. McCree’s hitbox is literally 3 times bigger and he has 200hp as well.

Are you trolling? That’s the worse skill curve you could ever imagine. A bronze widow is useless. Bronze widow are worse than leavers. Leavers don’t feed. That’s unhealthy.

She’d exceed certain damage breakpoints, making her a throw pick.
