This is all my personal opinion, but I used to play widow for years until they nerfed her with the ‘1 second’ charge with all of her shots.
When she ults I think she should get an instant charged shot.
This might seem OP but if you really think that then just look at Illari, lol.
Widowmaker has devolved into weak Spider-Man with a sniper, and I’m really upset about it seeing as I had somewhere near 100 hours on her and they just sh:t on her entire character.
Also, I don’t know if they fixed this yet, but with the Medusa skin they REALLY need to remove the hissing sound effect.
She’s supposed to be a sneaky character, how are you supposed to be sneaky with 12 snakes on your head hissing…
Yes widow could use some buffs but not very big or direkt ones.
She is also not that weak, shes decent (until the enemy really wants you dead and play Doom, Winston, Lucio, Sombra, Genji or Tracer (if they did not already start with those)
I have games where i can´t do anything and than games where I completely reign over the Match.
The snakes may be annoying, but they aren´t a real problem, in a normal game, no one will hear them (but its still stupid that the enemy can her it none the less)
what I would propose to buff Widow:
Reduce her headhitbox volume (its far to easy to hit Widow in the head)
Reduce the Sound her Heels make (especially when crouching)
Other than that she is currently fine. (albeit a range buff would be nice)
*on a few Maps.
Play her and see for yourself how easy it its to get that on a regular basis. A 3K is rare, a 4k an absolute rarity. And it takes far more skill to pull a multikill of with widow in comparison to pressing Q.
she doesnt need a buff but an indirect one. reworking of sombra virus
but yea thats my opinion. also it may happen since another dive hero has entered the roster. unless of course they dont want to balance around unfun hehe
Widow is currently a neache hero because other characters exist (Sombra, Genji, Tracer, Ball…).
As a widow onetrick I would say she is okey if you play her well, but it seems to me that giving her a falloff damage is unfair since other close range heroes (Genji, Mei,…) don’t have one, and they are CLOSE RANGE.
They reduced her HP and nerfed her range, wich is too much.
Widow needs too do much more in order to be usefull then other characters and she does not even have utility except for her ult (worst ult in the game).
And I would take this opertunity to, once again, ask for Sombra nerf cuz game is unplayable for most characters when she is around. Thank you.
The only heroes who are a risk to a widow who positions correctly are widow and sombra. It takes two leaps to get to widow as monkey, for example, so tou get deleted before you can leap again
The devs removed any sort of nerf on Widow, made it more difficult for divers to kill her before she grapples away, and then made it easier for her to hit headshots.
