Black widow. Play or Pass?

[Rykerino]

I heard that Black Widow is a horrible character. Both for Casual and for Ranked.

I even saw one person catching her, and the other saying in the chat "GG, Black widow".

And here's the question.
Is she really that bad?
She is the Sniper of the game, she must be good at dealing damage from afar!

People don't play with it to flank the enemy team face to face, right?

[doofus0510]

she's actually not that bad, sure she requires a bit of team-work to take down someone but she can force the healers to either use a heal on themselves or back off with her sniper

Oh definitely smash. Have you see--- oh play or pass? Ummm

HULK SMASH!!!!

She's ok honestly, and what id call balance.

Shes kind of frustrating at times though. Alot better since the S1 buffs but some parts just feel kind of crappy. Like the inconsistency of the Hawkeye team up ability is still kind of a pain (not to mention, losing out on the ability from just not having the hawkeye in your party).

Sometimes her kick, particularly her follow up doesn't feel like it works, or that its inconsistent with how it functions.

Many characters also just do what she does better for far less effort and with far more lethality.

So, pass.

people call her bad why easy. shes not hawkeye shes not hela
shes great at picking of people if u got good aim
her kit might be a bit underwelming but i seen top players absolutely going banana's with her

If you can nail almost all headshots she can be good. If not don't.

I've seen very few good black widow players, but you need to be really good at her. There's a black widow in grandmasters named femmefatalshot. Youtube LunaSniper, I recommend watching a video of her playing black widow.

There's is many criticizing the champion, GG go next, but she pretty much hard carries the game.
