I cant believe they just gave her damage fall off. The point of a sniper is to be far away when shooting people. Giving a sniper damage fall off would be like giving a healer healing fall off. It makes no sense

yeah but it’s also overwatch and it’s not like ashe doesn’t have damage falloff.
also, it’s not even going to affect her gun unless you’re in havana or something

Projectile attacks don’t have damage falloff
Most of them don’t anyway, there might be a few exceptions
Hanzo is a projectile hero with gravity properties. That alone is a serious drawback of being a sniper.
Both Widow and Ashe click safely while having a slow rate of fire from distance. I consider Ashe a hybrid sniper.
There’s no projectile heroes in the game with falloff damage. Dunno what you’re on about.
Meanwhile Widow was the only hitscan with no falloff, and it’s about time she got something despite the falloff nerf being barely effective. Only map it’s really gonna make a difference is probably Junkertown 1st point.

The range fall off is stupid I agree but only really influences where you stand on a few different maps. The majority of the maps are too crowded for the fall off the happen. They’re basically highlighting that map design in OW is kinda terrible.
The biggest nerf is reducing her scoped shots from 10 to 7 without adjusting her reload speed. They’re forcing you out of the fight.
The increase to SMG initially looks nice because Widow spends 90% of her time with a Winston in her face. It’s not going to make her any more likely to survive the constant dives tho.

False if you are talking about in the history of FPS shooters. Battlefield Snipers have damage falloff. That’s always been a thing. Also… if Ashe is actually a sniper, which most people tend to say she is, then she has damage fall off and that’s in Overwatch
that would be cool
re
Ashe has a damage fall of.
I don’t know how you’d describe the fact that most of the support cast can only heal within a certain range (much tinier than Widows, btw) as anything other than fall off.
Calling it “healing fall off” would also be putting it lightly, because it “falls off” a cliff - directly to 0.
And the devs did decide that isn’t so great for supports which is part of why Brig’s repair pack has been so nerfed. The fact that she could pretty much throw it wherever, coupled with it’s other goodies, was too good.

This is the first game history you can spam shots while scop without penality for a sniper.
No recoil breath low mobility vertical spreed , spot and dead.

Honestly, thats worse than I thought it would be. Ruins map especially. And Junkertown. I guess we’ll see.
Maybe you should google how rifles work, and how they are implemented in other games before you waste forum space.

Widow is the first sniper in history with no breathing mechanic, no sway, no bullet drop, no1 bullet clips, no chip dmg pulling you from scope, great mobility and until recently infinite range.
