I hope you all enjoyed this video. I took a lot of time trying to make good points by scripting and giving examples in the edits (all edited by me so took a litle time). Anyway, even tho I'm a diamond player, i hope this might help someone on mindset and so on. I'd love some feedback on this video cos I'm honestly pretty happy with this one! What Could I have done better and what was good? 😄
Yeah, I think everyone has those games. When I go back on replays on games where I thought it wasn't "myfault," it always ends up that I made decisions way too late or went back too late, its not always easy to make the right choices hahah
i never touch widow but today i decided why not, i should probably start some time. this video is a perfect breakdown of the core things you need to be aware of when playing widow. she is like a support dps, kind of a scout, at least that's the take i have. i already know the maps well, so that helps alot, and combined with the insight from this video, i pretty quickly got some 15-0 matches in one afternoon. thank you for this, great stuff
Glad this video helped you find a way to play her! The way I see widowmaker is that she is a Zone controller. which basically means that as long as she is alive, wide areas is where she has control and will make the enemy have a harder time to approach the objective. that also means that you need to be aware of her weakness (close range). getting these 2 simple things down makes her a very scary dps with high impact of the game 😄 Most are usually way too close than what makes them need to be, which turns widowmaker kinda bad, another mistake is i think i said it in this video is to try to not repeak same spot more than once or twice when they notice you for easier picks, most peak the exact same place, which makes them predictable 😄
@@IamZetaight, great video! 100% agree on positioning is key with widow. Also being creative and swapping sides each fight keeps the enemy on their toes
Helpful video! But she honestly needs buffs badly. You're forced to switch off her against a decent DVA/Sombra/Tracer/Pharah/Genji/Doom/Ball/Moira/Reaper/and now Venture. Not to mention the loud heels give her exact position away, just like her shots do. 12 seconds for one grapple hook use is far too long. The game is fast paced, and Widowmaker isn't designed for that.
Glad you felt it was helpful! Alltho I believe the only heroes u need to force switch is sombra, doom, (a monkey good at focusing only you) DVA/ and ball. Dva isnt always that aggro but can be. I think ball and sombra are the most annoying one that makes it impossible to play 😄
@@IamZet Oh yeah the nightmare Monkey definitely!😂 It also should be mentioned that she has a very low mobility to purposely be dived on (especially while strafing/scoped in), her only means of escape is the grapple hook (which still isn't a guaranteed way of escaping to safety with a long timer). There's a lack of players using her for a reason which is so heartbreaking. But anyway! Can't wait to see more Widow content from you!!! 🕸
@@JamieJamie2o2 Haha yeah its a real pain. But I agree, I'd love to see a lower cooldown on Widowmakers grapple. especially now with the dive meta comps. But that wont stop me from doing my widowmaker content! :D And thank you mate, can't wait to upload some more!
@@artmanrom Widow already has a default downside, because in order to even get a one-shot it requires an unbelievably high amount of skill to even pull off. Let alone get it on controller and high mobility heroes, for example Genji. I agree that every hero should have weaknesses, but not so much more than other heroes.

Widowmaker is like Teemo in LOL. You get passive global taunt.
I feel this lol, nowa days I never play widowmaker due to sombra EVERY game. So I may be able to play widow for like MAX 1 fight 😂
Thank you so much for this vid I've been a cassidy one trick for so long but I wanna play widow more and show off my noire skin

These are very helpful. Thanks!
I'm glaad I could heelp! 😄
i have i think 335h on her and still kinda suck im sometimes good and sometimes bad
Yeah, I think everyone has those games. When I go back on replays on games where I thought it wasn't "myfault," it always ends up that I made decisions way too late or went back too late, its not always easy to make the right choices hahah

@@IamZet exactly, yes, zone controller is another way to put it. thank you again!
at 2:22 i invited you haha
Hahah yeah, not sure exactly when this clip was taken, buut sometime last year 😄
Rule of thumb you mean
Im a rat not mean. Big difference 😉
Everyone counters widow these days. she needs a buff or more survivability
Yeah, but I also see why they wont buff her 😔
fucking sombra and genji bro
If you’re thinking about trying widowmaker, please don’t.
Haven't seen the video yet but I hope to get comment reply from you in stream :P hehe
Ofcourse! But I'm using the phoone 😉😉

@@IamZet When you are the only characters who can one-shot most of the other characters you have to have a lot of downsides for playing it.
