Widowmaker Is just game-breaking

Yea, anyone can click but not anyone has the aim to be a good widow. She needs consistent headshots to be effective.

If there is one hero in overwatch who doesn’t need any changes in the near future, it’s widow in my opinion.

22

let me repeat myself: pros are supposed to be good at aiming

besides,not everyone is Carpe

23

No she doesn’t because even if you do bodyshots and do calls your team can just go and finish the target. With Widow it’s like: You’re a god and hit every headshot and carry a game on your own or depend on your team dealing bodyshots.

McCree himself is weak. I agree that he should be buffed along with Soldier.

As for Genji and Doomfist, they can carry as well and as easily as Widow. Yes, you might be deluded by the “point and click” argument but the Widow deserves mad respect for her skill if she is carrying.

Well, it’s teamwork then if your team listens to your calls instantly, no nerf for widow needed here.

You can’t nerf teamwork by nerfing a character.

I don’t respect Widow players dude and even tho it’s hard to land headshots the hitbox sometimes is too forgiving + the fact that she is most of the time safe and before you can properly jump her she already took half of your team (if it’s a good Widow) Where is the counterplay when the only character that can consistently counter her is herself?

Tracer needs aim + insane ability management to get half the value the does
Genji also needs that but a little less
Doomfist? pff miss a skill and you have to escape and wait good 7 seconds before trying again

Misses a shot? shoot again.

Tracer can one clip as well and is gone as fast as widow or faster with her recall and 3 stupid blinks :slight_smile: - and aiming on a head is not that easy with widow cause it’s from distance.

do you want to know why i hate her so much? it’s not because of her headshot and ridiculous damage only its because of this - YouTube the head hitbox is insanely forgiving and sometimes she kills you even when she shouldn’t have now you take that and add godlike aim and you have a broken character.

32

Godlike aim is not the problem of the balance of a character. Godlike aim should never be punished with nerfs. Godlike aim deserves kills and a win.

Then why Mccree can’t have that too? why she is the only one who can carry games on her own with just aim? why ?

34

the head hitbox issue with Hanzo was fixed,search for some recent threads about it on here

and as if you could talk about broken characters when your player icon is Doomfist. tanky DPS with hard CC. so balanced

Has to be melee range for it. BALANCED

Hitboxes for hitscans are not forgiving at all. You must have mistaken Widow with Hanzo. They do have some slight extra invisible hitbox, but every FPS game does that to minimize latency issues and no regs. Doomfist on the other hand… that dude hits trucks.

There is plenty of counterplay to Widow suggested multiple times over the forums. From divers, flankers, shields, walls, projectiles, aim flinch, and the ever simple and universal ADAD crouch spam.

LOL? Melee Range by pressing right click from 10 meters away?
