I’d say that rhetoric is more “Give a way to deal with oneshots that’s available to almost any hero” that isn’t hiding behind a wall, wiggling around, or swapping to a different hero.
No its not. Snipers in Other games are far stronger and have less counterplay than widow ever was and had.
How do you fight a Sniper in Titanfall 2, Battlefield, COD, Planetside 2, Pubg etc if the Sniper is hundreds of meters away, maybe he has even a Gilli or invisibility, killing you with one shot to the body? You either countersnipe or get close, thats it
OW2 has far more options (and some take next to no skill to effectively use it) in EVERY Class. Tanks? Use shields to prevent Widow to get value or use mobile tanks to kill the Widow or force her to retreat.
DPS? Go Widow or Hanzo to counter snipe, Go Genji, Tracer, Venture (or Reaper) to flank her. Go Pharah or Echo to dive bomb her from the Sky. Go Sojourn as a mix of counter sniping and flanking. Go Torb or Bastion to not get Oneshot or let Sombra do her thing and relax.
Support? Go Lucio, Kiriko (or Moira) to flank her (Kiriko can also counter snipe), Go Ana or Zen if you have aim and counter snipe. Or go Battle Mercy.
Play Widow and see for yourself how “uncounterable” Widow is. (Spoiler: she is pretty easy to deny her value and counter her, Just use one of the many options the game has)
People asking for widow to lose her 1shot is a clear sign to me that pvp as a genre is dying with the current players we have . Why are some of you even playing pvps at this point ?
I’ve noticed this too. I’m very adept at hitting jumping targets but jumping kirikos that are spamming kunai are notoriously hard for me to flick to unless I remember to flick slightly above her head because the arm hitboxes get in the way.
