i wanted to try and keep as much of the original kit in my concept as possible while also expanding and adding to what i could.
Having the ability to swap between jean and phoenix i think was a missed opportunity by the devs
Before i started transitioning, back when i still thought i was a boy, i would usually stand to pee. but after starting hormones and socially transitioning i soon started to always sit instead. So i was curious if anyone else also experienced this?
She feels so much better here, that cooldowns feel more fair and her abilities feel more fluid. I tried to keep playing her after the rework but just couldn't get used to it, but this new mode made me fall in love with her all over again. it'll be sad when this mode is gone and this version of her will be gone too
yes i know, beating a dead horse, but i'm just so sad we lost it.
Her new kit just isn't the same. i want to snipe and i barely get to do it now. i literally went to the training room and turned on no cooldowns so i could snipe bots over and over bc i miss the feeling of it so much
pls, double g, if you can hear us, pls give us our ads back as a standard ability somehow 🙏🙏
or at least increase the time you have. 12sec is far to little time to use it and have fun with it.
as someone who played widow before the rework i would appreciate not having a time limit on my sniping. It being stuck to the ult is pointless to complain about at this point so i'll ask instead them remove or increase the timer. don't even need to give more ammo just don't force me to pop all my rounds right then and there
ive been playing widow since season 2 and i always loved her gameplay. now with this rework it completely changes how she plays and her identity.
I'm not totally happy with the changes they made, i think there's improvements to be had with this new kit, but for now i can't try to get used to it and i can wait hopefully the devs will listen to us og widow mains and make changes to this new kit to better suit her.
the old kit is gone and it's hot ever gonna come back, that's the sad reality of it. so for now i'll try to make the best of a bittersweet situation
the rework has a lot of problems but also has much potential. I can see where it could work if given the right tweaks, so i've gone ahead and reworked the rework to something that makes more sense and would be actually better.
i made a post a few days ago after the trailer dropped telling ppl not to rush to conclusions until the update comes out and...
well...
i don't hate it. but i kinda wish it was better.
i admit when first watching the reveal trailer i was excited in the moment, but now that i've had time to settle my feelings and try the kit i'm just not as thrilled.
for start the run and jump nerf kills a lot of her fun for me. i feel so. slow. on her now. and the jump is basically nothing.
as for the increased fire rate, i'm not a fan. i much preferred her slower rate she used to have, although i'm glad the rechambering is gone. I find myself pressing the fire button slower just so the gun shoots at a slower rate . maybe if the fire rate was somewhere between her old one and her current one i'd enjoy more.
the nerf to her kick probably makes me the most upset. the lack of stun just doesn't make it as useful anymore. maybe if they return her old fire rate to what it was or just slow it down a little we can have our stun back bc that feels like the reason they removed the stun.
as for her new ult, i'm not super upset but i do miss my old ads. sniping with it now just doesn't pack the same punch and it's not as useful now. if the charge was faster or the ult time was longer then maybe i'd be more okay with it but i just miss my old sniper.
as for the plasma burst and slam, they're fine, but they feel incomplete somehow. maybe if the slam gave an effect to enemies or if they both did a little more, idk. they just feel underwhelming.
the batons now feel more useless than ever. at this point they should have just been turned into the standard melee instead of a swap.
again i don't hate it, i'm just upset it's not better. i'm going to keep playing her and try to get better at this new widow, but damn. i kinda have to agree with some of the naysayers; this just isn't it. i see potential, but the devs aren't channeling it
the thighs peaking out, the beard, the tiny waist; oh lord above have mercy i'm gonna squirt😩💦
my husband continues to look hot no matter the skin
watching the new kit reveal i was hyped. yes the way she's played is going to be different that was inevitable with any rework. It was the same with Jeff, how they've played is gonna have to change. But the core aspects of her kit remain; the kick and the sniper are still there. Yes the ads is her ult now but that's not necessarily bad. Firstly we don't know how fast it charges, if it's quick it won't be much of an issue at all. If it's a little slower like other ults then it's an adjustment and learning curve that'll have to be met.
Of course we won't really know until the season releases, but in my eyes this rework ultimately is a great change and brings more dynamism to her. Ultimately i think we should hold our final judgements until we get our hands on her officially. But as someone who's been playing jet since season 1, i think this new kit is going to be incredibly fun to play.
they did it twice if you wanna get technical bc Concussive Beam and Ricochet Force are also practically the same💀💀💀
I often see posts of ppl asking for the rechambering aspect of her gun to be removed and i'm just curious if that would make her too op or not
Lots of ppl talk about reworks and changing her kit but so many ppl come at it from a complete overhaul perspective.
I for one like her kit as is, but i can agree that minor improvements could be made. In these I have kept most of the kit the same but changed and altered some small things. the only difference between both images is the last line on the Ult is added in one and removed in the other bc i couldn't decide if it was too op or not (then again, Hawkeye basically gets the same thing so why shouldn't Nat lol)
Some extra things I couldn't show in the kit images themselves are just minor stat changes.
Edge Dancer is lowered down to a 5-6s cooldown; now Ballerina Balance takes that 12s cooldown all by itself, giving Nat more chances to use the kick itself.
The stamina use for the jump would be removed. Now so long as you are running you can do the jump without it using any of the meter.
increase the run speed just a hair. her run is surprisingly mot much faster than her walking speed as i've seen in some videos. her run shouldn't be Luna levels of speed, but it should be a little quicker.
As can be seen, i removed the weapon swapping. The batons are now her standard melee which frees up a space for a new ability; Ballerina Balance
All in all, i feel like this would make her feel a little more fleshed out and flexible. Again, I love widow as she is, i've been a main since S1 and she's still my most played character, but even i think her true potential isn't fully there yet. So lemme know what you think of my idea! :3
As a tank she has very little way to build bonus health with her kit. i think her block should grant bonus health based in the amount of projectiles/damage it absorbs
THEY CHANGED HER GALA SKIN AND IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE NOW OH MY GOD I COULD CRY!!
THANK YOU DEVS
It just doesn't make any sense to me. they give her a character model with a hitbox that has focus on wider shoulders so she has an increased size as a tank and then proceed to not use that and give us the big fur we want! Even before she was officially revealed i was constantly saying "she'll definitely have a big fur coat as part of her hitbox as a tank. that just makes sense!"
Her new gala skin would have been the perfect place to include it! it's big fur cape yet they gave it the tiny little collar instead of the more obvious choice!
