Widow nerf please

I think Widow’s HP should be 175 because she can kill one shot.
And charging speed to one shot kill is really fast. NERF OR DELETE!!!

shouldn’t the complaint be its to easy to have value over other heroes and you want to play different heroes than widow 24/7?

Like I called launch brig, launch sigma, and moth mercy nerfs.
Because I could just select them and do so well, better than on any other hero without even knowing the kits. Without even trying mostly and laughing myself ridiculous while performing exceptional well for the match results.

another good nerf request would be, Widow is to easy to keep alive against dives.
it should barely ever be complains about the hero, more like asking to let you have the same value on different heroes. as you force yourself to play the best option available.

skill diff

you know, Widow has 200 hp while the standard is 250! In percent she even has less HP then before S9.

And her charge is already very slow and was nerfed multiple times.

Widow is already -25hp below the standard 225 for most other non-tanks. When the standard was 200hp per non-tank, she was at 175 health. She previously had 200hp when 200 was the norm, then Blizz nerfed her life total to compensate for her extreme range and 1-tap. Then her rifle was further nerfed with damage drop-off to prevent her from spawn camping cross-map.

225hp is the current standard for non-tanks with hypermobility, while she sits at 200hp.

This is true but the time to kill hasn’t changed. I mean it takes her longer to charge a one shot and some abilities have gotten buffed to compensate for s9 but at the end of the day it’s still one shot so does it really matter?

That being said, I don’t think putting widow at 175 will change much. If you can’t get to her she will one shot you and that pretty much stays the same

and if you get to her she is very easy to kill, even with 200hp.

Thank god there are no maps where she can position so far away you can’t even get to her with dive heroes.

Oh wait…

Thank god there are no heroes who have invisibility, who can sneek up on her without her noticing.

Oh wait…

If you’re playing tank in this scenario there shouldn’t be any reason why you can’t pounce her as Dva, Winston or Ball. Also Rein and Sigma provide a lot of cover to deny her :man_shrugging:

Dva/Winston can’t get to her in one leap, which loses you the fight. Ball, the pocket support just laughs at you when you dive.

Yes, you can go sigma and just AFK until your widow wins the duel (which is why widow is such a mindless hero, she creates more space than any tank just by existing, and the rest of the team just hides behind a wall AFK until your widow wins the duel)

K.

Give Widow a shorter Grapple cooldown, but have Grapple break like Sombra hack.

Pounce is one thing.
But if all that does is get to Widow to reposition for a few sec, that’s not that useful, for the cost of running a counter, forfeiting teammate protection, and inting into the enemy team.

Wait wait forget that, I got it.

Give her a permanent 50% less healing received passive debuff.

Isn’t it Kiriko on your profile icon, right?

Yes, a projectile hero that requires 2 shots and cannot 2 shot 250hp+ heroes

Dont forget kiriko has been meta since the release of ow2. On other hand Widow hasn’t been meta just bcs Sombra exist.

But anyways, rework for Widow.
