What do you think about the widow’s latest changes in the lab. 
Death of Widowmaker = Death of Overwatch League = Death of Overwatch

I think the changes are fair. You just have to think about positioning, rather than stand miles away not being that active in the game.
Although the dmg fall off is at pretty long distance. So won’t change much.

I think the changes are bad, they should have just nerfed her overall damage to 250 or nerfed bodyshots while keeping headshots the same. The nerfs adress no problem people actually have with her, they just, as pretty much all nerfs before, make her feel a little worse to play.

The ammo changes do. She has to reload more, which means she can’t spend as long in one spot free firing away.
It makes her weaker, it doesn’t adress the problem of feeling helpless against her. Widow doesn’t need straight-up nerfs, she needs changes to help your average solo queuer to be able to better counter her.
She’ll be reloading more often. So there will be more windows of opportunity.
True, won’t be “easier” to counter. Just more opportunities to try.
In theory, yes, but I highly doubt people will actually take advantage of it. I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong.
Only time will tell.
But people always forget that the environment is Widows biggest counter.
That range damage fall off doesnt affect that much. It should have been from 50 mt onwards. That would be a real nerf.
All hitscans have damage fall off so she was the inconsistency. Still got out “easy” imho.
it just shows that the devs are unable to reduce powerlevel without breaking a corekit of a hero.
im not a widow player but,…
i think a full charged headshot should always 1 shot a 200hp enemy.
otherwise the have to give other heroes that also headshot damage falloff, like Mei, genji, hanzo, echo, orisa etc.
difference is widow is a hitscan meaning instant hit at any range, where mei and the like are projectile which means the further the target is away the harder it is to hit a headshot
Projectile heroes have to predict enemy’s movement , travel time (they are different among different heroes) AND also deal with bullet drop off ( like Hanzo ). Adding damage reduction to them would be pouring salt in the wound dude.
Hell no.

Mei used to have damagefalloff for 2 years 
or even longer
being a projectile doesnt make it less powerful because it also has a bigger hitbox
ana is hitscan does she need damage falloff?
widow used to have a longer charge time on her snipeshot. so instead of giving her damage fall off. revert thet buff
