Widowmaker ultimate

Why is no one talking about her? Her ult is so trash at the moment. It’s just a bigger version of Hanzo. I think it should get reworked or buffed. If they buff it maybe allow her/teammates to see traps and turrets. Or if they rework it maybe allow her to kill anyone via body shot with 200 health or less for like 6 seconds. In my opinion at least.

I like her ult.
Wallhacks are nice, specially to find those pesky tracers/flankers.
I wouldn’t mind it it showed turrets though.

Knowing the enemy’s position is a huge advantage, in a lot of other games too

What about possibly buffing it then? Maybe to show hidden traps and stuff like that?

I actually think that is one of the best ultimates in the game

Yeah show turrets, last longer would be nice.

It’s ok. I mean In my opinion could get a buff so it wouldn’t be almost like Hanzos.

Her ult is actually quite strong, but I am not opposed to changing it. I’m on board for changing it because it wrecks the pace of play. When Widow’s use their ultimate people tend to stay in place and hide behind walls until the ultimate is over. It’s like a huge time out for the game and I don’t think that’s all that great for gameplay.

Buffing her ult would require nerfing other parts of her kit imo

It’s one of the best ults in the game. If your widows a demon she’s getting free picks. You can jump out of position enemies etc. Hanzos aoe is tiny.

Widow ult often wins Widow v Widow duels for free. It’s incredibly powerful. At higher skills wallhacks often basically means a 5v6 teamfight when both teams have Widow and one doesn’t have walls.

Sometimes individual players will miss the “wallhacks” call-out, or not know where the Widow is, and feed to a wallhack pre-fire. This happens much less at higher skill levels, for sure–players will either wait out walls, or just LoS/shield LoS the Widow until walls are over if possible.

Mostly what others have said. Wallhacks in other games like Csgo and Rainbow are massive and you feel it and like widow those games have 1 tap headshots. It seems people in this game dont know how to take advantage of wallhacks and still stand in the open and miss shots.

I think the ultimate should be changed because yes it does break up play as was aforementioned but also because In the right hands its literally hacking. Like its called wall hacks for a reason. People have hacked this game with this ability and other games too and its seen as against the rules and scummy. But they give it to a hero who benefits from it the most?

I like it when I’m Winston and a Widowmaker uses her ult when I have them trapped. Its like they think it’ll help them or something.

dude you’ve just been spamming the forums with your complaints. compile them all into one forum please and thank you.

(P.S. stop being so whiny)

Whatever the topic creation limit is per day, it should probably be reduced… lol just noticed now how many threads OP has been creating now that you’ve mentioned (yikes! :joy:)

I think there is value in splitting topics for discussion into separate threads. But I wish the forums had tags, there really needs to be a way to sort out and group like topics.

Maybe one rule for thread creation should be something like: cannot make more than X/10 threads (X=# posts)? That way people will have to actually respond to and nurture their threads, and contribute to others’, rather than posting a dozen threads in a day when total post count <200… :thinking:

Yeah her ult in comparison to others is kinda trash but I wouldn’t be calling for a Widow buff or rework any time soon she’s in a fine place. At least you can get it up pretty fast and being able to one shot people as they come around corners occasionally is neat.
