Widow HS into a

… venomous dot on head shot. She’s a spider right, would fit straight into her fantasy and remove one of the few annoying aspects (other was perma stealth sombra) from the game thats left.

What does the dot do? idk, dmg over time? heal prevention against tanks? esp with them trying 6v6 again.

But i used to play atleast one as warm up

What I recall was that this was some April fool’s event or something like that. A change like this requires an almost complete rework of her character.

What’s been proven is you can’t make that one change and nothing else. It needs more work. WIdow’s entire shtick is hitscan 1shot. Hanzo going from hitscan → projectile has required so many buffs to stay even partially useful in his base kit and its arguably still not as strong as widow hitscan 1shot.

What we have learned with Sojourn is that giving a hero a hitscan, girth, headshot + good base kit is very centralizing. So much to the point BLizzard finally just gutted the high hitscan burst damage.

Ya I’m trying to get into it after a long time since it seems active again,what’s the most optimal way to get more kills in necropolis .

I tried playing normal was kinda going at less than 1 kd even though I was leading teb board twice, so tried to just play grapple shots but that makes it slow and i need up more or less same kd some cool shot but lesser kills.

In one match this widow entered mid way and fragged 50 fast for 16 deaths , they were crouching a lot like 260 times in that time while I was like 10 times the whole match :joy:, i certainly can improve that but i don’t want that spam crouch style.
Here is the match if you can give me some pointers also the recording skips frames near the end of first match and next one but play was fine.

What are you talking about?

Making her damage a DOT would probably make her a throw pick but better for Widow to be a throw pick than to dominate high elo for no effort

So im not really gonna talk about aim because it’s just something you’re gonna have to work on. If I were to point you in a direction it’d be your click timing. You click, then move your mouse sometimes. Sometimes you move, click way too early, then correctly move your cursor to their head.

You have to learn how to correctly click at the right time, what you are doing is most likely because you are in a hurry to shoot.

Ok about Widow HS and dueling widows itself. The more people there are in the lobby, never do grapple shots unless you have a specific purpose, (i.e. you know 100% where someone is).

Also you seem to understand it sometimes subconsciously but just assume that if the enemy is scoping first, and looking at you they have aimhacks and will kill you.

In the same light, if you are scoping first and the enemy doesn’t know the location of you, you will always win that, so try to slow down your aim when you are in that situation.

Honestly if you keep playing you’ll improve it’s not really something that can be taught by word then you just magically get it.

Ya i was doing that a quiet a bit.

Ya i certainly need to do that, that makes sense.

Thanks for looking into and tips , ya i need to take time with those shots and also grind more.

They already tried that.

I’ll put it like this: The only thing worse than it would be the current Sombra rework.
