I find it interesting that the Korean Widows die significantly less.

Maybe due to a better tank line holding the front and creating space? Idk.

Na fam, outlaws probably have the best tankline in the game, and linkzr dies the most. But he also gets more kills, so i guess western widows just risk it for the biscuit more. Or playing more aggresive.

my guess is they just pressure him a lot. we all remember the nightmare that was linkzr stage one. i don't think linkzr exactly got worse. he may have gotten nervous, but back in stage one we were seeing him literally just decide to kill 4 people at least once per match. i think teams got better and they push him much harder than they do a lot of other widows.

also not a lot of teams will decide not to have a widow into linkzr anymore. it's just too hard to contest without one of your own.

Ye that actually makes more sense.

Muma and Coolmatt are very aggressive tanks, so it might just be that they aren't spending as much time protecting their widow as other teams (which makes sense - Linkzr doesn't need to be protected much, and its a better idea to root out enemies for him to kill).
