I have 300 hours on this character and I still suck.
I almost have 300 hours on Widowmaker, and honestly, I suck.
I used to play Widow a lot when Overwatch 2 first released. Back then I mainly played on PC, but I eventually switched to console. Since then I've spent a lot of time on other heroes, and my aim on other snipers like Ana, Ashe, and Hanzo is perfectly fine. I usually get around 50–60% accuracy on them and can hit crits pretty consistently.
With Widow, though, it feels completely different. If I aim for the head, shots that look like they should connect just don't. If I aim around the shoulder area (which I've seen recommended before) I usually end up with a body shot. My overall accuracy is usually around 40–50%, but my crit accuracy is often only around 10%.
I've spent the last few days trying to relearn her, but I honestly feel like the bullet size nerf completely ruined my ability to play the hero. My settings are universal across all my snipers, so it's not like Widow has a different sensitivity or setup.
On top of that, I feel like I get countered immediately every game, with tanks constantly chasing me into the backline.
The weird thing is that when I play support in Diamond lobbies, I barely run into oppressive Widows. At this point, it feels like Widow is only really strong on PC. I rarely even see Widowmakers on console anymore.
I'm genuinely close to abandoning Widowmaker as my main, but I really don't want to. If anyone has tips, advice, or can at least tell me I'm not completely insane, I'd really appreciate it.
