Black Widow Should Do More Damage When Using Her Scope.

[DorkSparce]

You can play her as a slower version of Hawkeye, no need to use her scope when both it and shooting in 3rd person does the same amount of damage. Why slower? Because she'll always lose that 1v1 against Hawkeye and this is if both players are very good with sniper heroes. Hawkeye only needs to land one headshot against a full health Widow or any other non tank hero to get the kill while Widow has to land two headshots against a full health Hawkeye or any other non-tank hero to get the kill.

Using her scope should mean more precise aim, which should also = higher damage output.

I thought she did?

i ... feel that she is in a really good place. her mobility is pretty good, her backup is some good sticks and she hits hard enough that it feels strong and yet doesnt feel unfair. hawkeye is stronger but lacks that mobility and his melee options are weaker. overall imo shes still the better character.

scoped shots already do more dmg

Might be wrong but I'm pretty sure her scoped and unscoped shots do the same damage since there's no charge mechanic like Sniper or Widowmaker have

Why would more precise aim =more damage when she gets the benefit of better accuracy/magnification of a scope?

In a sniper duel, BW can literally just see and dodge the arrow unless shes fighting point blank for some reason.

Imo, she needs two shots because she has the highest effevtive range as is, and headshot already puts majority of the cast into like 20-100 hp. Just body shot after, or have someone finish them off.

Her scoped shots don't deal more damage, it just removes the damage fall-off.
