It would also give her an ability that both low and high tier players could benefit from. This would give her a real chance in this possibly upcoming triple tank/support meta, and it would give her a real defense against the dreaded Winston counter. They scrapped the idea because it didn’t feel fair as a regular ability, but what if it was an Ultimate? I propose that Widow’s new Ultimate be the ability to pierce shields for a short enough time frame to land a few shots. While Blizzard’s Overwatch team was working on new ideas for Hanzo abilities, they tried a piercing arrow ability that would go through shields to hit targets hiding behind them. Hanzo’s sonic arrow is also more frequent than Infra-sight, and comes without most of the troubles followed by picking Widow. Diamond ranks and above already have the awareness and positioning experience to know where most of the enemy team is at all times, and an experienced widow will catch flankers with her venom mine, making her Ultimate of little use. The other issue is that for high-tier players that Widomaker is more suitable for, her Ultimate doesn’t do much. You see, her damage output is great, when it’s utilized properly, and while giving her more damage or less time on her grapple would make her more powerful, it wouldn’t make her a better player for low-tier players. I discussed with my friend that it’s her Ultimate that is the missing-link to her kit. Currently she’s an incredibly high skilled hero who has too many weaknesses and counters to be viable for anyone who doesn’t have the aiming skills of Pine. I had an idea the other day on what to do with Widow.
