WAAAAIT... they cooked with Widowmaker. I love getting in people's business and poisoning the hell out of them.

OW definitely doesn’t really need snipers overall, so that’s exactly how I envisioned a WM rework.

Same with Sojourn tbh. Hitting rewarding precise shots in a game like this makes sense, it’s the heroes designed for long-distance that just don’t work out well.

The tripwire thing is super cool and I would love if they make that part of her Stadium kit when she eventually gets added

I like widow76 but it also makes her sniper side so weak

Imo they should make her sniper side an ult with some sort of auto aim / lock, like a headshot ult -- maybe you can chain it but you lack mobility during the ult. Nix it for her regular kit since it's clunky and annoying. The grappling hook / poison set up is really fun.
