just curious

Hi hi, I'm having some issues with crouching. I know many widows do it as a tactic to throw the head hitbox off, but I just seem to not be able to use my pinky finger on ctrl for it reliably/quickly. So my question is, does anyone have it bound to something else or could give advice on how to do crouching better?

So I really wanna learn how to play Widow, I tend to get lots of hate & obvi targeted but I really have this passion for learning Widow. So I was wondering if anyone has any advice for someone just starting out with learning & practicing?

every time i see clips of widow mains with more experience or while playing widow hs i’m always curious and amazed at how they’re able to get a kill midair, i’ve been trying to practice it but i can’t get the aim right. do you guys aim before using the grappling hook? or do you find the target midair? and while i’m at it, is keeping the mouse still and moving her only with the directional keys the best way to get better at aiming? would that also be true for midair kills? i’m sorry for so many questions but i’m truly curious and want to get better at playing widow

I've got over 2,000 hours on Widow from over the course of many years. I'm occasionally brilliant with her and occasionally trash. I've learned to not force it anymore. Some maps and team compositions simply aren't ideal. That being said, I've been curious about making the switch to PC from Xbox. I cannot imagine learning how to play her all over again, let alone learning how to game on a PC. I'm a complete noob, there. but I'm wondering what the actual skill level difference is between platforms? Are the games better, more toxic, more challenging, faster paced? Or is it a negligible difference? I definitely do have to deal with server lag but is that present on both? My ping will be fine, but I still experience the hog hook around a wall or Hanzo shot through a wall. I've also stuck with console because I can chill with my dog on the couch and play. Is that basically the difference? Casual relaxed playing vs more serious gamers? Ty.
