State of Widowmaker on Console!
At the moment Widowmaker is nearly impossible to play on Consoles, She is an unforgiving character to play if you are not 100% precise at all times. Her body shots don't do enough damage while scoped and she literally cannot challenge other heroes, Especially Hanzo.
This is a situation that has been present since her nerf back when competitive was added to Consoles.
Some of her most notable problems are as listed.
-
She takes far too long to aim down her scope, Usually by the time she is scoped she has been taken down by a McCree or Hanzo or your target has closed the distance between you and them and you have to resort to using the machine gun.
-
Follow up shots are near impossible to land due to the hitboxes on her bullets. I find myself missing a lot of shots although I am aimed at their head while shooting.
-
Widowmakers Grappling hook takes too long to recharge making it difficult to escape the likes of a D.Va ult.
-
The Grappling hook tends to grapple the exact opposite of what you're trying to grapple and the two buildings in front of the Attacker's spawn on Dorado cannot be grappled from the attackers entrance.
Due to these kinds of flaws Widowmaker sees literally no play time on the consoles and is completely inefficient in almost every way. PC players have the precision of a mouse while console players suffer because they use a controller. Widowmaker needs a buff on Consoles and PC.
