That just bothers me a little.

Widow Maker's problem is people being salty crybabies tHat scream OP wHenever a skilled player owns tHem.

Now I'm not saying all WMakers are skilled, but tHat skill scales a lot witH her and a really good Widow Maker is a force to be reckoned with. Then you have the majority of Widow Makers who suck with her and are simply wasting a slot. So if I were Blizzard I'd be really careful approaching any rebalance regarding her.

Its just a case of good snipers being a pain in the ass like in every single game.

My 2 cents anyway.

I don't really know why that is in particular.

I don't think Widowmaker needs nerfing. She's bullet fodder for someone capable of getting close to her. If only there were some characters capable of flanking!?

People will just mope if there is a character that counters theirs. Simple enough.

I've realized I can't stand playing with strangers. The game itself is fun but I get so frustrated with poor team dynamics.

I'm addicted to this and can't stop playing.

Hooked on Soldier, Genji, Mcree, Winston.

I have a reinhardt on my go to team that is surprisingly aggressive, but he keeps throwing shield down and moving sporadically - which doesn't help the people actually BEHIND the shield.

She is squishy but the only people able to take advantage of that most of the time were other snipers.

I think there are more annoying characters but I can degree why they did this. Widowmaker could make or break games on her own.

So the patch itself changed the rapidity of her scope animation and her damage output. That seems pretty fair. More Mcree nerfing though too it seems

I guess that makes sense, he was a real tank killer. To the point that I thought that was his actual role.

Winston is supposed to be a counter as well but by the time he gets to her he has already lost a good chunk of her health meaning she just has to clean up.

This probably doesn't mean much, but for what it's worth, I've literally never had this problem.

That said, I'm glad they were at least reasonable about her nerfs. She still does the same amount of headshot damage, which I think is fair. She mostly just had some mild bodyshot and scope frequency adjustments.

You guys playing on console or PC?

Now that Zenyatta can't be casually one-shot by a body shot from a full power Widowmaker scoped shot he has no counter. No one will be able to stop him.

Synthetics will always surpass and overthrow Organics.

Thanks. 😄 👆

Kinda already not liking Widowmaker's nerf. Sniping doesn't have as much a kick to it anymore unless you happen to make headshots. She's still viable enough to use though, so could've been worse.

Gotta get them headshots

Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn for lack of Widowmaker play, but isn't that kind of the point to playing a sniper; to quickly kill from afar with precision and efficiency?

If you ask me, I feel like snipers are quintessentially meant to strive for headshots (or other immediately lethal methods) in most cases, so I can't help but suspect that she was originally intended to be designed with that in mind. When you can just as easily fill an enemy with half a mag in the space of two seconds to get the same amount of work done, there's little incentive left to be precise or efficient, which I think is what Blizzard (as well as some of the community) saw as a problem.

Plus, her tagline, "one shot, one kill," doesn't really fit in that case. haermm

Personally, I never had a problem with her or McCree to begin with (this coming from a Zenyatta main), but from what I gather about them, I feel like the changes are at least somewhat reasonable and well-intended, which I'm glad for.
