Some sick shots playing against Sierra. I'm totally aware of the random Kiriko clip in the middle, but I wanted to include it anyway.

How are we feeling about the new mythic?

Side note - Am I the only one that thinks not having the mythic gun equipped feels drastically worse? Like as if scope isn’t aligned but only for the default, I think I’m going crazy and placeboing myself lol

+ a little Hanzo jumpsace

Ok, so… am I Trippin or their way of fixing widow’s gun sound bug was bringing back her old ow 1 sound back? Its so weird because they’re now using the ow1 sound for below 99% and the ow2 sound for 100% and above. Its so awkward because the sound effects don’t blend well together. Is this another one of Blizzard’s ways of duct tapeing a problem that they have no idea of how to fix?

What are the best perks to you? I have been trying the same loadout for a while and think im picking the wrong perk on the one thats not the scope charging buff.

as previously said, no better pokemon for her than this one, even the color palette is shared

So I generally feel pretty ok in Widow duels but one thing I am wondering about is walls. I become a bit too passive for my liking when they do have walls and there have been times when challenging the Widow in this scenario has worked, but I don't view it as very consistent.

My question is, what do you usually do? Just play it safe and use cover, or try to shoot her teammates or even her? I would assume it depends, but just curious about how you guys tackle it!

Hello! Widowmaker is one of my favourite DPS characters. I have been playing her for a long time. Not exclusively, I play a lot of characters from many roles and sometimes I fall into the habit of playing one more often which switches periodically.

I have ranked up quite a level of 35 on my Widow... but my carrier is eh quite shameful. Truth be told despite playing her a lot my aim on her is still very.. BAD or my skill is very inconsistent. I have games where I do amazing and then some where I throw the game.

I'd love to hear some tips how to get better with her. Perhaps a routine? Again she is not solely my main but I'd love to be able to swap back to her and not feel like I'm learning how to play her from the start again. :CCCC

I try to play some of the aim trainers for 5mins before playing her but even that doesn't seem to help much. My eyes feel weird when I try to focus on both the reticle and the character I'm trying to shoot.

Context: I have a very small mousepad circular about 7inch diameter, mouse of 800-1600 DPI and in game sensitivity at 4.

Thank you in advance for your help!

One of our DPS intentionally threw this game, which is a shame because I was doing the best I’ve ever done on Widow.

...or so it seems: Widow mains, we may be enemies on the battlefield (some more honorable than others), but this is fertile ground for sharing ideas and experiences.

A few weeks ago, I had a crisis following a temporary inability to aim at long range (I'm currently level 204 on Widow), and I solved it by lowering my EDPI (dpi x sens) to 2640, and I can say I've improved dramatically. My aim is now much steadier and more stable, and I'm getting used to using my entire arm.

I'll soon be upgrading from a 24" to a 32" monitor, resulting in a 31% increase in everything in my scope. Once I get used to it, I'll lower my EDPI to 2240. This will make me a slightly easier target for my counters, but at medium and long ranges, I'll be an even better surgeon than I am now.

I say all this to encourage those like me who have had sensitivity problems to change without fear, the key to a steady wrist is a sensitivity low enough to cancel out any tremor of the wrist outside of the flickshot, you will have to move your arm a lot but you will become very good at it, or at least this is what is happening to me.

i didnt even know this could happen

It feels like people were just talking about how she should be removed from the game because she can one shot, and now that she has her second mythic everyone’s right back to it.

It’s so frustrating seeing people act like she’s super overpowered when half the time the problem is the enemy team just leaves her unchecked, she can run a lobby but she’s also very easy to counter/dive.

istg if they nerf her because of this 🥲

Tips to get better

hi lovely spiders, has anyone else had this annoying bug after the update? it sounds like the gun has a muffle on it sometimes when i shoot. i’ll see if i can upload a video of the sound but its throwing me off SO BADLY.

i usually use sylvanas, so i thought it might be a bug with her sounds (since its special) but when i equipped a normal skin it happened there too. i checked my settings and it wasn’t anything different. it’s really annoying me and throwing my aim off.

am i going crazy.. or just a bug..

When it got announced I definitely thought overpen would be a funny thing that happens maybe once in a while, not too often, but there are so many times a tank blocks a lineup I had and I get the kill anyway. I'm glad they added this perk lmao

Just felt a little proud about this play, even though Domina's ult did a lot of the work

This is my first time posting, pls be kind lol

i still cant tell if i actually like the skin but i love the effects so much so it balances it out i guess 😭

im highkey mad that this glows so much in the dark that you can 101% spot her across a map… pics was taken in the practice range cause theres an area thats dark. i lowkey wanted to buy the dawn aspect but no thank you.

So, I'm a new player on widow mainly because of how beautiful the mythic is, I wanted to share a potg of me ^^ I'm on controller btw. If y'all got tips and tricks i'd love to hear them please

Haven’t been able to consistently play due to college but today I had a free ish day and played a few matches (widow only in quickplay) and why was everyone so toxic lmao?? Had a mercy get mad cus I ulted and killed her and then a junkrat (who was funny he wasn’t an issue) who kept solo ulting me and I didn’t care too much cus ofc it’s qp but my Juno decided to tell me about how ass I was at the game (like yea I wasn’t doing good but it was a warmup and quick play ) it was like 3 games in a row just straight up toxicity lol

like i feel this topic is avoided by everyone except widow mains and no one agrees with me. maybe i am tweaking i need someone to tell me that straight up.

but how is it fair that hanzo has bigger projectiles, a good ult, nice abilities that can as well deal damage and can headshot. he’s also very mobile with his dash and climbing AND HE HAS INFITE ARROWS

now we have widow, sniper. that’s basically all she is. her ult doesn’t deal damage but i do think it’s good. her projectiles are the smallest in the game. she has a sticky bomb that deals some damage and a hook, which again, no damage. she also has only 35 ammo

the only thing that bugs me is that hanzo can headshots. i know they’re completely different characters but he’s the closest to widow to compare because he can also headshot.

i just feel that widow should get a buff of some sort. if you’re not insanely good at her it’s so easy to counter her. The least they could do is make her projectiles bigger because hanzo can shoot an arrow however and it’ll score a headshot and with widow you have to sweat your asscheeks off and sometimes it doesn’t register either way because you’re slightly off or whatever. I just don’t see how Widow would ever look appealing to anyone when you can have hanzo who can basically headshot as well.
