Widow's SMG is useless

Seriously, when has SMG EVER been better than a scoped shot? It’s barely useable at point blank, anything farther away and it’s shotgun spread x2. But even at point blank, the enemy’s head hitbox takes up practically the entire screen, so you might as well just go for the scoped shot anyways.

Widow’s SMG is useless, change my mind.

It’s not, that’s the point.

And your t500?

Unreal

Use it to clean up low hp mobs. Far from useless.

its surprisingly useful against roadhog close range you can almost one clip him.

Its useful for garbage widow like me :slight_smile:

If it’s not better or useful at all, then why is it even in the game?

Toxic for no reason, nice. Imagine being plat while playing Orisa.

If a Genji tries to kill me and I do the usual bodyshot + venom mine, a low charge scoped shot + quick melee usually works to finish him off.

But if it’s supposed to be for cleaning up, why give it crazy spread? Just lower it’s damage but make it more consistent. I’ve used SMG before, and I still use it sometimes, but it feels like absolute crap to use.

It’s good if you body shot someone and need to smg them down

One thread “widow smg useless pls buff jeff”
Next thread “widow so op srs jeff? Delete widow”

You guys are funny

It doesn’t need a buff, it needs a rework to not feel like trash. And I don’t care what other people on the forums think about Widow, most of them are like plat or lower and only play QP, they’ve never played against a Widow at the rank where she could be considered broken. She’s like Tracer, people complain about her being OP but she’s only good in the higher ranks. Tracer is a glass cannon, low Elo Tracers are super easy to kill, they’re just bad.

Well for us that dont have godlike aim/flick shot abilitys…its useful. I find it good for taking dva out of mech. As she flys to u hit her with scope shot…then close range just smg her out…as she hops out pop her with a scope again…thats best case senerio for us non t500 people. (Not rank shaming just pointing out that t500 usualy have crazy aim to the point that us normies would think u were aimboting if we didnt know better) its also good when u get that body shot but dont have time to scope again just do quick smg and they drop. Its not ment to be a long range smg its short range. That is my thoughs

That makes sense. I just find it frustrating that the SMG feels very inconsistent unless it’s point blank range, so if you can hit close range shots it’s almost more consistent to just go for it instead of using the SMG.

Auto t500 at the character select screen im sure

As of when last week?

Love how you checked my stats before replying though i can appricate the effort x

You shouldn’t be using the SMG at long range you can’t be serious.

You have a sniper rifle lmao?

Its for finishing 1hp targets essentially even my plat tank main brain knows this.

No idea what you’re talking about.

https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/career/psn/sneakdisshmu

as of right now on your profile.

There is a difference between short range and point blank you dumb@ss. At short range, not all your shots will hit if you have spread, and because of Widow’s ridiculous spread, very few shots will hit and your damage will be very inconsistent. So at that point you might as well just go for another scoped shot. Reduce its damage and give it falloff, I don’t care, I just want it to be more consistent for finishers at close range. Even at point blank range you can just hit them with a scoped shot + melee if they’re low.

plat chat dps kornmeal suck my pp u noobie

As of her buffs, was going off the assumption that you insinuated of orisa being a free win.

No idea what your rambling on about my profile for, its public for a reason.

Touch a nerve did i? Calm yourself you wreck.

Or do you make a habit of lashing out at people on the Internet?

Most ppl with this profile icon are lucioball or something similar top 500 and has nothing to do with actual comp. So just ignore :smile:

Yeah that’s basically what I was saying. She has the second highest pickrate and second highest winrate in GM. You should be able to climb pretty easily with her, wasn’t hard at all for me to get a positive winrate with her in plat, and I don’t even play Orisa + my tank is terrible.

It’s called talk sh!t get hit, you were toxic first, of course I’m gonna be toxic back. If anyone has a habit of it, it’s you. At least I have a reason to be toxic, you didn’t.

Your first post after having nothing to provoke you was:

Yeah, it’s from CTF. I peaked 4.2, I’m not top 500 material. If I got lucky when I was at my peak, I might have been able to touch it once, but not keep it. That’s why I use this icon, it’s the fake top 500 icon that you get from like lucioball, and it’s funny when people fall for it.

At least i charge my shots puppy :wink:

Watch out,

Very edgy xo .

My WR is positive with her, feel free to check as you seem to be obsessed with my profile.

I only play comp with a select group of friends, i could probably climb if i used LFG or solo queued but it doesn’t matter that much to me.

Eitherway relax a little, i could easily lash out just as you did for you trying to insult my intelligence but im over it and not that petty.

Oh wow, a common saying, how edgy. :roll_eyes:

I guess you could also say eye for an eye. My point was, you’re the one that got toxic first for no reason, but apparently I’m the wreck?

Unprovoked first post:

I’d call attacking people for no reason pretty petty.
