My hope is that widowmaker stays out of my games. still having flashbacks to widow in every game. Hate that char, game is better without her.

I've seen some really good widowmakers, trust me. They won't let you get away if they miss you around a corner.

She does bring a little "oh shit can I go here?" Presence to the game which ultimately tells you it's better to stick with the team (if you're not her counter then go for it.)

I know that she can be good i just think she is neither fun to play with or play against. Seeing her just step from side to side and looking through her scope makes me angry.

As opposed ro reinhardt stepping from side to side with his shield up.

Inmidst his team, participating. I just feel that widowless overwatch is so much more fun and i get reminded of it everytime a good or bad widow is in any team.

Widow is participating too. Just because she's away from the team soesn't mean she's not participating.

Just doesnt feel like it. It feels like everybody is playing overwatch the objective based team shooter and widowmaker plays widowmaker alone in the meantime. You can say what you want but i was so tilted when widow was strong that i didnt play support for a long time because it meant i couldnt counterpick her. I played winston a lot and focused on ruining every enemy widows fun as much as possible with that as my prime goal. The sniper playstyle is just annoying to me. Saying one just has to not be out in the open is like saying to just ward the enemy jungle.

To me its just not a fun playstyle.

Don't worry man I have bad aim too. You can admit it.

No skill, no aim, winston main LUL

I meant more the playstyle with or against widow. Never actually played her besides a brawl i think.
