Widowmaker rework please

Hi Blizzard, im here to ask for a rework to Widowmaker, why? To this day this character not only has recieved nerf after nerf, but now u guys forgot to give her proper balance changes. (Her last one was on release of mauga, and it was a nerf) For example, her entiere kit only focus on the one-shot she have, making the rest of her kit weak, her venom mine luckily does any damage and her grappling hook luckily gives her “enough” mobility, i mean c’mon she have like more than 20 characters to counter her, almost all the community hate her and that mean she will be focused EVERY match, and the only way to play as her is to “play PERFECTLY”? Not miss any shot? There are some characters that even if u play bad u will be having fun because they have proper balance changes or proper reworks or even a proper design character, but sadly thats not the case for Widow, i just want to enjoy playing as her because shes my main, her lore is awesome, and her skins are more than enough, even her cinematics are spectacular, so why not give her te love she deserve?

What you can do with her? Make his kit focus on the FACT that she’s a SECRET AGENT and not only a sniper, with that in mind just get rid of the one-shot mechanic and turn her sniper into something like Ashe’s Rifle or Ana’s Sniper, in that way she won’t be annoying and you will have the clean path to buff her entire kit and give her more abilitys.

She should be able to do the things that she makes in her highlight intros, and in her cinematic with tracer. Like, if she’s a spider she should be hang on things, like walls or ceilings, her venom mine should create more smoke and have a detonation button or something. She also should be able to move around the map like hammond, or even if she hangs her grappling hook into someone, she should be able to kick the person, similar to roadhog.

And last, but not less important, her primary fire should be buffed into a weapon similar to the one soldier-sojourn-sombra have, because with that she will be more able to play in different styles.

I seriously HOPE Blizzard read this :frowning:

You know what would happen if they reworked Widowmaker.

They would give her a Massive portable deth-ray, a jetpack and the ability to apply CC poison status effect poison that remains afflicting the victim until they succumb to status effect. So no. no reworks.

We are talking about one of the few characters that can be countered by too many heroes, to the point that it becomes miserable to play it

widowmaker should never lose one shot nor should she become like tracer, they are opposites that work well.

also widow will avenge more skulls for all of you hating and ruining hanzo identity.

Blizzard could’ve given her a better LMB and actual ability on E. It wouldn’t make her much more oppressive in the hands of sixteen-year-old talents on adderall (that 0,0…1% of the players, btw), but would help mere mortals. But nah, let’s just nerf her, nerf maps for her, and buff Sombra.

It would be enough for me if I could make myself invisible as a Widowmaker and fire the first shot in stealth like an Assassin. :slight_smile:

Of course, that would be far too strong and will not happen. ^^

Idk, but i think spam is when someone post something very often, i only posted this twice.

No I think they should remove falloff instead.

Think about this, why is hanzo viable on all maps but widow isn’t? Don’t come with the one-shot excuse, bcs recently they nerfed health on some heroes so Hanzo has more heroes to one-shot. (heroes that are considered meta like Kiriko and Sombra)

Hanzo has no strong points or weak points, widow does.

Hanzo is not a sniper map hero .

Also hanzo is weak in 1 cp to a extent.

Also telling a hero who used to one shot everything for 7 years be satisfied with 8 heroes is dumb too.
