With Infra-Sight cut or switched to a basic ability, Blizzard could give Widowmaker a brand-new ultimate. If it does stay, it should become a secondary ability that Widowmaker can use once every 30 seconds, with its duration shortened to match. While increasing its duration and making it even easier to acquire is an option, there is a good case for the ultimate being completely removed from Overwatch 2. On top of this, her mines have limited use, as their main purpose is to protect the hero from flanking opponents.įirst and foremost, Widowmaker’s Infra-Sight needs to be given a look. While her rifle has fully auto capabilities, it is too inaccurate and does too little damage to be considered a viable option. As such, she cannot keep foes busy as her team respawns, nor can she take down speedy targets at close range. With Overwatch all about objective play, this is a major issue, as Widow struggles to contest or fight foes on the objective. As such, she has never been one of Overwatch’s most popular heroes in terms of pick rates.

However, the reality of the situation is that even a great Widowmaker is at a disadvantage when fighting on the point. While most players will say this is rare, as aggressive Widowmakers are less common than those that avoid the fight, they do exist. A skilled Widowmaker can take advantage of any situation, dropping injured tanks with a clean headshot and allowing the team to push with ease. Make no mistake, Widowmaker can be a useful hero in the right situations.
