Since he widow bans occurred and forced people like me to search for a new hero for a week. I think everyone’s eyes were opened to the full potentiality of Ashe. I feel that having another sniper in the game isn’t a bad thing. However, the widow Nerf that widow received to her charge rate in my opinion was unnecessary. I heard arguments referencing the mercy dmg boost and quick peaking. However, I feel lthat people are oblivious to the stupidly overpowered yank in the corner. She has the ability to instantly delete a 200 hp character, with little to no charge up time ( this was also just buffed). In top of this she has a grenade which, with damage boost, will be able in kill any 200 hp target. Now, BOB, if your friendly neighbourhood ana nano’s ashe. NOT only does Ashe receive the boost. BUT BOB ALSO GETS BOOSTED. Now if you have a competent Dva then it is easy to shut down ashe, however, most of the community believe that running the standard double shield, brawl or dive comps. Therefore, they think that Dva is a semi useless hero or don’t utilise her in the correct manner, feeding the Ashe to get Bob faster.
Except that isn’t true. First of all, her headshots don’t do 200 dmg but 170. Second, she has damage fall off (as opposed to Widow).
And I highly doubt nano’ing Ashe also nano’s Bob.
Edit: just checked, not true. Bob does NOT get an increase in damage from Ashe getting nano’d.
i am soley talking about the damage boosted ashe which i can confirm does 1 shot. Please read more carefully before answering. Also I h ave tested this with my mates in practice range and it is clear that BOB receives the nano. You should try it in comp at some point. Really confuses the enemy
Euhm lol? Please write your posts more clearly because you never mentioned the Mercy boost in combination with your one shot statement.
As for Bob and Nano, I’ve found out the following:
- Nano Ashe and throw out Bob does not increase Bob’s damage. However, and this is very weird and possibly a bug, the sound of Bob’s fire rate does increase.
- Nano Bob himself does increase Bob’s damage but does not increase the sound of his fire rate. That’s a bug in the sound again.

[/quote] Sorry but I think that you should also read it carefully . However, that doesn’t matter my argument is more focused on questioning why the widow charge nerf when Ashe, who now has a higher ROF than Widow has nearly the same DMG. Doesn’t make sense to me
I don’t main Widow but I think her charge nerf was uncalled for and I feel like they should revert that.
As for Ashe, like I said, she has damage fall off and Widow doesn’t. I think Ashe is in a really balanced spot atm. Not underpowered nor overpowered.
I’ve made a video about Ashe/Bob Nano btw which I’m gonna report to Blizzard because there’s clearly some buggy interactions in the sound (Weird Nano Bob interactions - YouTube)
I agree. They said the reason for that was because shields have gotten weaker, but who in the world would use widow as a shield breaker??? Any good widow player would prioritize support and other dps heroes before shooting at shields.
The reason behind the nerf doesn’t make any sense.
Ban hereos is stupid. If they ban most played hereos every week then every second week will be banned same hero.
My favourite thing in the world to do with ash to throw the dynamite through Baptiste window ultimate. You rarely get the chance, but damn is it beautiful
Widow problem:
- Her spider mine is next to useless. If the ‘best’ use of the spider mine is to use as a ‘shield’ in Widow 1v1, might as well give her an actual personal temporary shield which would be more useful for wider range of situations. Or how about a temporary weapon mod that enables her SMG to be accurate and deadly up close for a short period of time? Ya know, at least give her some ability to help capture/stall the point?
Ashe problem:
- Can we please have a selectable full-auto firing mode? She’s fun, She’s awesome, and She is wrecking both my mouse button and my finger. I’ll deal with the oh-so-long reload time and the fact i missed all my shots because i have lousy aiming skill - but please, make my life that much more enjoyable rather than inflicting self pain.
All snipers should be sold to fornite, they do not belong in overwatch.
they are killing the game and blizzard and snipers are to blind to see that.
how is it possible if i am standing behind a widowmaker with ashe and shoot her full in the head she doesn’t die. she turns around and missed me while shooting i still end up dead. i watch the killcam because wtf. and i see the widowmaker missing me so badly and then i died. and that is when this widowmaker got reported for cheating. because i consider that cheating not hitting me but still getting killed
“potentiality”
Dude don’t make it too hard, you can just write potential
widows spider mine is not next to useless at all. very few abilities can be set and forget and feed you information about the opponent.
Here is a simple solution for you: HS her first and then immediately melee. Congrats 200 burst dmg Widow dead.
What do you mean with autofire mode? Just holding right-click button while in scope? Btw. there is a setting that allows you to toggle her scope I dunno if that helps you.
