buff Black Widow in the season 1

[MadyMadMady]

I hope u guys consider buffing her for the upcoming season. what's the point of taking Black Widow when headshots don't kill light enemies?
It really makes no sense and discourages people to take black widow and play Hawkeye instead.
I'm even discouraged trying to go for headshots cuz I know that won't kill em. they'll just sneak back to their cover, get healed by their puppy and get back to the fight again.
U got 2 snipers in the game, one can one shot enemies and the other can't. then why did u even bother to put Black Widow in the game? Hawkeye would've been enough.
she must be able to one shot light classes. otherwise she's one of the worst heroes.

Even if she will be able to one-shot, she will never be viable while Hawkeye exists who can also do the same. That's because having Widow do OHK only levels the playing field in that regard, but Hawkeye:
-- Still has better survivability
-- Still can spam chokes
-- Still has a miles better ult
-- Still has a better DPS overall

(and likely other stuff I forgot). Widow will never have her niche unless they change something about Hawkeye - and that's probably where they should start looking. Having OHKs on snipers is controversial at best (I don't mind it but I know a lot of people who do). I'd rather change Hawkeye so that:

-- His arrows have was less forgiving hitbox
-- His arrows have more curve to it and the gravity correction
-- His arrows have a strong distance damage fall-off so that it doesn't one-shot if it's just a full room away (not even half the map)
-- His charge only works on targets he actually can see (so no left-shoulder peeking tricks)
-- His charge only works on targets he charged them from (so no charging off huge tanks to shoot at squishies)

Then maybe we can talk.

Nooo. 1-shot heroes are too oppressive, which became pretty apparent in Overwatch. Hawkeye needs a nerf so that he can no longer 1-shot, and you could probably keep Black Widow right about where she currently is.

There's already the OP point-and-click hero that gets banned every comp game (Hela). Why in the world should they add another one? lol
