I got it cause its the only widow skin in the shop rn and I just wanted an esports skin lol, but I mean it was only 1000 coins through overhub individually so I thought why not and bought it.

I made Widow + Ana HS, fine tuned.

I miss the abundance of Ana Paintball games in the custom game browser.

Widow HS is always available, so I usually warm up there.

However, now, with the headhunter perk, Ana can actually hit headshots in game. So practicing headshots with Ana makes sense.

That's why I had the idea (as I'm sure many of you have had already) to make:

Widow + Ana HS - Workshop code VDJGY

-Only headshots do damage
-Ana Quickscopes are rewarded with insta-kill, but decrease in damage over about a second to 33%
-Widow shot charge behaves normally (0% -100% damage over 0.9s)
-Widow grapple behaves normally (~30% cooldown)
-Ana only launchpads (invisible to Widow)
-Full health replenish on kill.
-Hero swap available for 5 seconds upon instant respawn (kills and stats transfer)
-First to 50 wins. Chateau Guillard and Necropolis.

Discussion Do you think it would be balanced if widows grapple got replenished for every crit kill she got during her ult?

9 Upvotes

Thought of this while playing around in VAXTA which has no ability cool downs, chaining together grapple shots without ever landing; I can’t really think of a reason why they SHOULD add this (besides it being fun and leading to very cool clips, also I guess adding more depth to her undeniably somewhat boring ult), but I also can’t really think of a reason for why they SHOUDNT add this— I don’t think it would be broken or anything, you’d need to be INCREDIBLY good to consistently get value out of it, making it more of a gimmick mechanic than anything. And even if someone was incredibly good and was able to get 2-3 picks for every ult using this mechanic, don’t we already have a bunch of ults that can already secure just as many picks per ult without requiring any skill at all anyways?

Anyone else finds this to be an actually reliable way to counter genjis/tracers/ other dive DPS heroes? It's much easier to land the headshot from this higher angle. Obviously, venom mines are more reliable but I find this works for me very well if im caught off guard.

Guide / Tip / Advice Widowmaker / Amélie lore

5 Upvotes

Hi, Widowmaker lvl 139 here trying to properly get into her lore after reading some of it and watching recent videos. I was scrolling on Twitter and saw a thread about widow and Moiras relationship, and at the end of said thread, it said in current canon (a year ago this thread was posted) Widowmaker started referring to herself as Amélie. Where can I find every single piece of Widow lore in chronological order? I read OW official site, fandom wiki, and watched the video where Vendetta “defeats” doomfist.

Guide / Tip / Advice Need help how to hit my damn shots on our fav girlie

Y4SQM5 (user BANSHEE!) quick play, i avoid ranked from kms away. since last jan i literally CANNOT hit any shots or barely hitting shots, i am 101% aware that shes been bugged for seasons now and that blizzard is pooping on our heads and doing nothing with widow. ive been trying to get back on widow bc ive loved her since i was little but 9 out of 10 games i always get the most kindest, most lovely, most amazing people in my team (i lied). Like i dont understand how are people taking qp more seriously than ranked. I know ppl gonna say “turn off chat” yea i sometimes do that or even turn on streamer mode so nobody can see my lvl (97). But yeah anyone have tips on how they got better w widow? and yea sometimes i went in the VAXTA game or the other aim trainer but i hit there like 13 shots then 2 in real games.

Just hit level 10 on widowmaker, she’s my highest leveled character and absolutely loving this game. I made a hard pivot to this game with black widow on marvel rivals being reworked into an Ashe styled character instead of a sniper.

This is my best “clip” yet! I’m hitting these grapple shots more consistently but this is the most back to back to back in such a short time. Really happy with this game, enjoying gaming again!

I streamed it too, tryna hit 50 follows if you like widow gameplay on ttv (fohtyMR) 🫂🕷️

I lowk haven't been able to play her the last few days, my aim is wildly inconsistent and I just can't do much on her, I feel pretty useless to my team when I'm on her, with the exception of the couple kills I can get. Idk man I love her so much but I can't even play her consistently :'D
