It isn’t much of a nerf. I wouldnt be that worried about it.
i dont know if u have tested the changes but i have,at max range S76 need 14 shots to get the kill as Mccree u need 5 as Ashe u need 4,mind u this is all headshots at max range ,for bodyshots that we common mortals shots at,u need 25 for S76 from 19 Mccree 10 shots from 6 and Ashe is 7 from 5,i dont think i need to tell u that this is a big nerf for hitscan at range.

That is find. S76 and Cree are short to mid rangers… So if you are at max range you are in the wrong position. So it doesn’t actually make a huge amount of difference if you are positioned correctly.

i dont know how u make that work but if i play 76 or mccree without stun at closerange i die real fast,if im to make 76 or mccree work for me i need to be in mid to long range all the time unless ur doing the stun flank with mccree.

Firstly, if you are flanking… probably won’t work.
Secondly… you will still be short to mid-range.
There are not many maps where long range comes into play as a effective option. Junkertown 1st, Hanava 1st, Illios Ruins… probably about it.
Most other maps a widow will be playing at mid range anyways. If at all.
oh it is,and im gonna laugh and laugh when the projectile players see the hell they them self are responsible for.
edit:dont get me wrong,i hope what u say is true,but i still think im gonna get a good laugh.
When you look at the distances and locations… pharah is never far away enough for it to be a nerf.
Only if she is shooting from spawn… but if you can’t move out of the way of slow moving rockets… who’s at fault… lol
Max range is not measured exclusively in Widowmakers max range for all heros, mccree and S76 max range is half if not less than half off what Widowmakers max range is, all your examples of max range are measured by what Widow does,S76 max range for example is eichenwalde first point or Nunmbani first point and this ranges is absolutely max off what S76 can do effectively
u saying this like the max range nerf is only effecting Widow,the other 1 point hitscan heros got the same nerf u know,and to give this nerf to Bastion and S76 to the worst hitscan heros is not justified.
Indeed. And most point/maps, their max range doesn’t come into consideration.
There are probsbly about 5 points across all maps where you can have sightings beyond S76 and Crees optimal distance before drop off.
At which point, if you are standing that far away to shoot people… you are either playing wrong or need to swap to widow.
