What are your thoughts on Widow’s ult? I started playing her a lot recently and she’s super fun (that headshot dopamine 😮💨) but whenever I get her ult, I feel kind of underwhelmed. It’s not terrible by any means, I like how it helps the team and might help me get a kill, but the fun and potential I get from literally any other ult is higher. I imagine she’d be more fun with an ult that raises her damage potential. Since she’s spider themed, she could send in a spider mech that does high AoE poison damage over time like a cross between a Tire and her Venom Mine, or more intuitively she could have no wait time for full damage w/ maybe a glow to signify she’s ulting, or switch her rifle ammo to acid rounds w/higher damage so she temporarily can function as a close range hero… these might all be ridiculous but the point is her ult is just not fun to me and I wonder if others feel that way? Or maybe you love it and you can really pop off with it?
Widow’s ult even if its “underwhelming” its basically a zoning tool for 15 secs. You really dont want to peek corners especially if the enemy is a good widow i mean a bad one will still get a few picks here and there.
From a pure design standpoint, I think her ult is one of the best in the game. It’s a huge advantage, but one that perhaps is hard to grasp at first when playing Overwatch. It helps your team set up the next team fight, is a very effective area denial tool, gets some teammates some free kills, and so on.
As others have said, it really helps with zoning, as well as stopping any potential flankers. It’s a good ultimate in my opinion.
Not to mention in high elo, hearing widow’s ultimate voiceline practically stops anyone from peeking at all.
