My thoughts on the changes (200 hrs previous eternity BW)

so i think the rework is interesting but like most other widow mains have been saying; this hero does not feel the same as before and feels EXTREMELY underwhelming for those who preferred her old kit and loved sniping in general.

I would be alot more fine with this rework if they didnt shadow nerf some of her existing abilities without mentioning it. There was no patch notes released for her specifically so it kinda bothered me having found these changes out by myself.

Basically, the height of the super jump got reduced, and that honestly was the worst thing change they couldve done, because now she cannot access some of the highground she could previously. Sure, the jump feels alot faster now because you retain the moment but i would never trade that for the height.
The kick also got shadow nerfed. Some people said it "doesnt" stun but its not true, they just cut down the stun duration, and BY ALOT. I swear its not even half a second duration on that stun, the enemies can shoot back almost instantly, and they didnt even fix the old bugs that were with the kick before aswell, like for example the way any displacement ability immedieately cancels the grapple stun is so stupid.

New dive ability is kinda cool though, allows you to play alot of different angles and flank, if you get focused you can just jump back immedieately to your team its kinda broken. But i wish you could see the landing zone before you dive down so you can know exactly where you land after, and the cooldown for it also feels EXTREMELY long for an ability that barely does damage and seems to be better used as movement (in my opinion; i know you can use it offensively but the tradeoff to use your best movement cooldown to engange into the enemy is not always a good idea)

If they could reverse the changes id totally love that. i think this rework wasnt fully necessary, she just needed buffs to any part of her kit not in the ads (specifcally the damage). They couldve even capped the damage on the ads headshot to be always 240 regardless of any damage boost to kill the one shot HS on a full hp target playstyle and then buff her fire rate or any other abiliy in her kit. Hell, i wouldve loved if they actually fixed her bugs and made her gameplay more smoother that wouldve been so good aswell.

Just my thoughts tho. I also have not gotten used to that type of aiming with her new primary so its gonna take a while to adjust to that lol, and the old ult being an ability feels awkard, especially because the new ADS ult is bound on q and is also only toggleable and not click to hold. i would change the keybinds but i think it would hurt my muscle memory for other heroes then lol
