There’s literally zero evidence Widowmaker is OP.
In Overwatch:
- Heroes have different critical boxes and different character models. This makes sniping harder.
- Widowmaker has a charge mechanic. This makes sniping harder.
- There’s cover, barriers and shields, which makes sniping significantly harder. Small maps with generally no open spaces more often than not and small lines of sight more often than not.
- Overwatch has no movement acceleration which makes A/D + Crouch spam incredibly easy to do and incredibly easy to dodge sniping.
- Finally, Widowmaker’s effectiveness also depends on how good the mechanical skill of the player is which alone is an effective skill check.
Not to mention dive tanks like Winston, Diva, Hammond can counter and dive Widowmaker with ease. Same for Sombra, Genji and Tracer, flankers can absolutely shut down Widowmaker. Sombra can also disable hook + grappling.
You even have Immortality Field now which practically eliminates one-shotting from the game. Not to mention Goats has rained supreme for year+ making DPS in the game a throw-pick.
Sorry but Widowmaker who has remained relatively unchanged is absolutely fine as a hero and doesn’t need any nerfs.
Widowmaker is fine.
