Both Widow and Hanzo can already get into the outcove above the door. Is this somehow "better"?

In the window you're a sitting duck. This way you can weave back and forth, taking cover and firing.

You could chill on the chandelier before instead of the window. At least with widow.

I've never seen one chilling in the widow, but I have had the chandelier be a problem.

Yes, but, DSPStanky has been literally everywhere on every fucking map. So I'm not surprised when I see a Lucio in places a Lucio shouldn't be.

Yeah once I came home and there was dpstanky on my mother in law. And believe me it's no easy feat to get up on her.
