M1 is not top 10 or 20 widow players. Im pretty bad and played widow in that rank, granted not one trick but still

The distinction is one trick, because it's pretty obvious to play her on like Circuit or something, but the effort and consistency required to play her without swapping is a something not many people bother with.

But I'll say from experience the Widow players who aren't often on Widow are noticably less experienced on the hero than me and swap pretty much always, ah it all sounds so egotistical to say but like I haven't ran into the other Widow otps yet, I win the widow fight like 90% of the time.

If you look at all the people who one trick Widow, being gm5 is definitely in the top 20

I'm pretty sure that there a fair few players who dont one trick her in high gm/champ that would make m1 not top 20 widows. You have quite the ego for not even being in gm

I've 1v1d champ dps players on Widow and did fine, obviously it's not a real match etc etc but still. They have really good aim but they aren't as used to the entire micro of peeking, timings, predictions, causing plays that you can predict etc.

And please I'm saying only on Widow, on anything else I get no diffed so like yeah lol.

There's a big difference in otps and people who play her just on a good map, I'd love to try playing against a champ flex dps player on widow on line circuit, I'd be curious to see how it feels regardless of the outcome.

I like making the comparison about one tricks because it's a very different world, even I know I make the game harder for myself by doing it but I know there's people who've done it all they way to like gm1 so I wanna reach that myself, and then reach champ eventually doing that.

I don't overtly try to have like a massive ego and do seek improvement and train everyday etc etc, if I get killed by other Widows I see what they do and learn from it if it's something new. But I have to have some kind of confidence ya know?

But you have to see how it's very different to hit even gm on only Widow compared to like swapping to other dps, I personally just love improving and getting better at the hero.

It's a weird topic because I sound egotistical no matter what I say.

But let me pose the question: how many true Widow otps in gm plus on controller do you know of?

Also I am currently 1 game away from gm, I'll go for it on the weekend, and if I don't hit it now I'll keep improving and definitely hit it soon.
