If you can’t see how stupidly long even the nerfed range is you are actually blind. Widow on sniper maps is STILL A PROBLEM. Widow outside of sniper maps has never been viable in the first place.

You most likely the main one of the many easy spams in the roster therefore I’ll ignore anything you have to say kid, grow up.
It’s going to take more than a video of someone going “whoa, Widow can’t one-shot squishies outside of this huge range” to make me sympathetic to the idea of Widow getting a revert, OP.

Or you are just conveniently ignoring the facts to support you’re own bias.
Its almost like she needs her 1 shot removed and a big old rework.

Try Tracer. The hardest hero in the game.

Anything that is spam rapid fire that has a hitbox forgiveness threshold, In a sense you don’t actually need to hit the target for it to ping as a hit, Just a few pixels off and it will still tick, Soldier 76, cassidy and hanzo being the biggest culprits.
Yaaay, God she is one of the least fun characters in Overwatch. Having to change how i act and play this game like it’s Rainbow 6 is terrible and sucks all the fun out of the game

If you include the game playing for you as fun I fail to see the appeal.
Why cuz i use skills besides aim to perform well. Or are you one of those FPS purists who think that clicking heads is the only worthwhile skill in the game

yep especially with the sombra rework. Hanzo reigns supreme right now. Blizz has killed the character because players refuse to learn to respect sniper sightlines. Talk about the supports right now and theyll say “just bait every cooldown in the game!” but tell them to just position well against widow or hanzo and theyll foam at the mouth.

You realise that Widow, Soldier and Cass (and most of the hitscans in the game for that matter) have exactly the same 0 width size? What you are describing is just hitboxes of the game, they always exceed models slightly. Try Cass and Widow in practice range, you will realise that they have to hit literally the same pixels to register as a hit… Hanzo is projectile so of course he has bigger hitbox.

terrifying, widows will have to be within 1 kilometer square of their teams now. Stay safe out there.

Well tbf you can’t say just position better when it’s been the higher and even top ranks have been the one that historically had the widow problem. and it goes without saying those player’s don’t lack a skill issue.
the sniper characters have always had the problem of both maps often being very open by design (at least in the important areas) and that the design philosophy for these characters is there have no flaw and are really good, buuut they’re hard to play (I.E Hanzo) which has been shown time and time again to not be a good design as players will inevitably reach skill floor required to perform well with these characters and it’ll be all downhill from their in terms of game quality as now your character isn’t hard to play anymore and just op.
and for supports, yeah they seem to be able to bail people out a bit too much

At those ranks i can agree shes a problem because the widow is consistently moving and changing angles, but at those ranks, the widow nerfs have also done very little to her and she still runs lobbies.
Hence why i made my statement, at lower ranks Positioning is 100% the reason youre having trouble with widow, because let me tell you they are not doing well enough below masters to not be shut down by positioning. And if they are, they will be out of your rank faster than youll notice, i assure you.
