This fall of damage changes absolutely nothing.

And the first sniper in history to have mobility, wallhack, high firerate and anti-flanker ability.

She should’ve been nerfed harder.

In Battle field 3, all snipers have drop off, and they were projectiles…

45

They did sniping right. It was closer to how it is vs the bs lazer lines OW and cod have.

BF3 was really a fun game but the suppression mechanic KILLED that game for me.

I was the best SKS user in the world, no exxageration, THE WORLD. I had more kills and more head shots and the highest accuracy out of everyone that played that game.

Then a patch came out that quadrupled their “suppression” effect. Basically, if an enemy shoots at you and misses, YOU get a accuracy penalty. Your bullets would literally BEND space to make sure it didn’t hit the person thats missing his shots.

I’ll never forget my bullet litterally sliding past an enemies head like mercury because HE MISSED a shot that would put the suppression effect on me.

I quit that game the next day, started playing league. Evelyn got reworked into a mage and I vowed on my grandmother’s grave I would never touch that game, or any other chinese owned games, EVER again.

I came here to overwatch for the Moba shooter. I really liked that the game had shield tanks and a way to prevent one shots. It was fun back then. Life was fun back then.

sorry about the tangent, just hadn’t thought about that game in a long time.

Which is cheap af in **all*o shooters because the player does nothing but camp & wait from a safe distance. And in OW’s case, it just breaks the game in its current, non-all DPS state.

So, Widow would actually require skill with a damage fall off change.

In a moba game… :see_no_evil:

Actually, Ashe is a sniper who had damage falloff

50

Do you know how many maps even have >60 meter sightlines?

Off the top of my head I’m guessing… two?

Ilios ruins and Junkertown parts 1 and 3. That’s pretty much it.

51

Think of it as a groundbreaking experiment then :smiley:

52

Ashe is a filthy crossbreed known more as a marksmen. Shes closer to McCree than she is to widowmaker.

53

I seem to be the only Widow that suffers from being hard countered every game. I can’t pick widow without the enemy team immediately going winston and genji and camping me. Sometimes it’s ball and not winston.

54

Them the facts kids!

55

It doesnt matter dude. If you play widow right anyways she wont feel like she got nerfed. Good widows dont take super long sightlines anyways, take it from a masters widowmaker.

56

You ever played Splatoon 2, in this game snipers don’t have falloff damage, their shots just simply vanish after a certain distance, and it’s a relatively short distance too

I never understood people saying precision shots are bs ? From 60 meters away you need even more precision due to the hitbox becoming even smaller, I don’t understand how that is considered a “bs shot” ? A bs shot would be Junk rat spamming in a choke and dying to it when he can’t even see you. That feels bad because he wasn’t even trying to kill you specifically. With Widow, she needs to be able to precisely hit your crit in the right charge up time to kill you as a squishy and from across the map that is even more difficult to do. The only BS shots from Widow I’ve seen is her lining up her cross hair and you literally walk in front of her gun when she shoots and that’s super rare and just unlucky.
