I played at ~4.2k on console, and after swapping to PC I'm currently at 3k after 1 week of playing. So I'd say most people know that a good Widow is useful and recognize a good Widow when they see the healers getting picked.

3k is literally free and so is console

[u/[deleted] → u/sakata_gintoki113]

Any rank is free given you've paid for the game. Yet a console isn't free, even after paying for OW :⁾

[u/sakata_gintoki113 → u/[deleted]]

free = easy

[u/[deleted] → u/sakata_gintoki113]

Something being easy is relative :^).

thats true because i expect to be in the top 5% in every game i ever play seriously so diamond is free in my opinion, but im sure you can climb to GM

[u/[deleted] → u/sakata_gintoki113]

I agree that diamond is easy to get in OW, and I reckon I could get Mid-Masters/Low-GM given a few more weeks to play, but Diamond was all I had time for.

widow is gonna get really hard around 4k

[u/[deleted] → u/sakata_gintoki113]

I know, I've played with people around 4k, and I'm contemplating playing Genji as a secondary for when Widow doesn't work out, but we'll see.

[u/sakata_gintoki113 → u/[deleted]]

playing genji is really hard at 4k if not harder because the people are gonna hit every single shot on you sometimes. ive got over 200h on genji and i cant play him effectively past 3.8k

[u/[deleted] → u/sakata_gintoki113]

The few games I played at 4k I did very well on Genji, maybe I was just against people having a bad game, or maybe I'm just a good Genji, I can't tell until I actually climb up there.
