from brone 3 to bronze 3?
there are things called statistics. widow is the second LEAST played champ in the game across all game modes.
imagine if you put your imaginary superior skills to actual good use.
climbing in ranked is not hard, by design it's made easy. if you can go 1:1 ratio win to loss, you can win (edit: climb). generally you can do that as baggage your team has to carry too.
i might have to give you a jester for this take.
widow isn't broken, her hero powers simply need a remake.
nobody is saying something is impossible. it's not probable, which is why nobody plays the hero. not because widow is a woman, or a sniper, or their (edit: the players) skills are bad. it's because she's literally useless overall. her numbers suck, and it's not due to bad players, it's due to bad design.
Moon Knight could be played by a blind person
Playing bad characters is essentially handicapping your skill.
Sure, a high skilled Widow will carry in a low rank game. They could probably also carry DPSing on a support. But in their proper rank, Widow will be a bad character there, and they'll lose more games on her. Unless they used Widow to get to that rank, in which cause Widow is holding them back and they'd probably climb a lot if they switched to Hela.
Her kick is a get-out-of-dive-free card. You get the kick, start a combo, and whatever was diving your team is now fully stunned, has 210 health missing immediately after if the Widow can land a headshot, and unless your team is just not paying attention, they will die, no matter what saving abilities they have. This means Spidey gets shut down, Panther gets shut down, Magik gets shut down. With the specific case of Venom, you can kick him, wait for him to burn through his shield before trying to swing away, and interrupt the swing with the second part of her kick combo.
Jeff tries being annoying by running up to your team? You get a kick on him while he's surfaced and you are guaranteed to kill him. Luna Snow/Mantis/Invis ulting? With Hawkeye passive, you kill them and anything standing next to them instantly with no counterplay.
The whole time she's building up to these specific plays with kick and ult, she's doing consistent damage that's impossible to ignore. This means healers can't position poorly or they die, meaning they can't all stack up and roll over your team. You have the potential power to control the flow of engagements by controlling where their healers can stand.
The only problem with playing her at the moment is their entire team will want you dead and focus on you if you're doing well, and healers are so brainwashed by tier lists they'll assume healing you is a waste of time.
