I just told you I’m a GM player & not once in the post do I say I have a problem dealing with Widow or that she is OP. You need to analyze the deeper meaning behind the post. The point I’ve been making is that Widow just makes the game less fun… either you have a shitter like you getting rendered useless or a godlike bitch who just wins the teamfight with 2 shots. I prefer a more elongated teamfight where you have to work together focusing a target or something to get a pick. Widow just gets kills sitting far back getting a headshot on a healer while in no danger because shes deep in the backline where most characters can’t get to her without a minute long stealth flanking session.

Overwatch a team based & objective play oriented game & widow doesn’t do any of that she sits far away from the objective & team just shooting at whoever she can. The counterplay to widow is shit too… for any other character like genji for example: if you’re a healer youll switch to moira & in the next teamfight youll focus genji if you see him with your kit. But for widow not only do you have to switch but you have to constantly flank to her ridiculous positions away from all the fun action of the game just to deal with her. Its not hard to do as you said you easily get rendered useless but its just not fun to do. Like any other character you just make a counter pick then continue playing the game but for widow you have to switch then also do a boring deep flank every time… just totally unfun.

I’d have a lot more fun if she were reworked into a new character entirely that fits the style of the game more. Someone who benefits from playing in proximity to the team & objective like nearly literally every other character in the game.
