Hate on Black Widow still here

[Ninja Boy xD]

Just had a game, where they wished me cancer for playing black widow. Im not kidding. Every lost game they blame me for playing black widow, no other fault.

And im not kidding, 90% of games im getting flamed or reported for playing black widow. Even on winning games i am getting flamed.

She needs a buff ASAP!!!! why devs so slow and wont do anything about this huge problem.

The dev's themselves said they wanted people to be able to pick and play characters they wanted too. So picking Black widow shouldn't even be a problem.

If they don't want black widows on their team, they should make friends and create premade teams with people who also do not use black widow then. If you're going to solo queue or not premade a team of six, then that issue is entirely on you. I'd honestly just Hit P and mute and silence them all and keep playing the way you want to.

maybe giving her faster reload would help

From my experience with snipers. They've very difficult to balance.

If they actually give her any buffs, they will be very small buffs in multiple increments to make sure they don't over buff her. Sniper rifles in most games are either over powered, or worthless from experience.

They're actually usually balanced by level design more then anything. Keeping sight lines short and giving off loads of flanking routes to popular sniper area's are usually how it's done.

Other weapons that get hit with this are proximity mines...

I am widow main myself. Don't worry, playing her is not a reason to ban you, even if you get reports every game, as long as you put an effort for winning, and really trying to shoot people.

Make her able to sprint during reload I think.

I love her and find her perfectly balanced at the moment (Weapon/Movement).
She is a perfect Team player and challenging to play.

Because it's useless char. Specially when you can pick Hawkeye and do everything she does but better

She is incredibly strong in Team play.
But that is too high for People, who can't play in a/as a Team.

First, you would have this said to you, even if you did play well.

This is pretty standard stuff, and playing black widow is irrelevant. You'll get called a trash tank despite holding the front line against 3 enemies. and Supports with the high dps output will get flamed for not heal botting even if they have the most healing on top of it, simply because they are out dpsing the dps.

You can't just throw the word "Buff" around and expect things to happen. You have to pitch in your 2 cents of what you believe could benefit the character. This just shows you have a blatant lack of understanding of what the character lacks, and if it's reasonable to buff them in the first place.

Her Damage is actually in a very good state and balanced pretty well, the batons don't matter cause ain't nobody using those.

Also, we've only gone through one single balance patch so far, saying they are "slow" because of it is plain absurdity. Especially when she got plenty of worthwhile buffs from that single patch. You are just saying words at that point with no meaning.

Me Personally, I think she's in an almost perfect spot, maybe she could use some adjustments to her reload, but that's about it. Black Widow is actually a pretty strong hero, but the skill floor to make her viable is near the ceiling, and only a very small handful of players can get any value.
