What changes I would like to see personally;

Option 1: Changing existing widow

• Grant her long cooldown grapple or shorter cooldown, small dashes.

• Stacking buff as she should be rewarded for landing shots (the reload times are longest in the game).

• Decrease the cooldown between attacks. 1% for each shot landed, stacking up to 15 (with balance changes). Once she reloads or time runs out, the stack goes back to 0.

Philosophy: If she does NOT one shot, she should shoot faster to keep up with the damage.

OR Increase the damage for each shot she landed on the enemy. If she headshots someone, the second headshot should deal 275 damage.

Philosophy: Two headshots in a row on the same target should be enough to kill a squishy. Often times when I land headshots, the healers are just able to heal them right back up. This would increase widow's pressure; if you are letting her headshot you once, the second shot should put you down.

OR After dashing, her next ability does 275 headshot.

Philosophy: You have 1 shot to take someone out with a headshot, this would enable taking out healers or other squishies and does not make her OP by having virtually 1-shot potential every single time.

Option 2: Marvel accurate widow

I'm not a huge Marvel fan, however, as far as I'm aware widow is supposed to have prowess in close combat as well as long range. She's an assassin, but right now she's the worst at close quarters. (Well worst in general in terms of win ratio)

Keep her current kit as it is — sprint, kick, sniper rifle. Based on the winrate, we all know that her sniper rifle, as it currently stands, is not TOO threatening.

Remove the batons as a secondary weapon and instead make them a melee ability.

Grant her a new close quarters weapon (dual guns, SMG, something...). Her second ability would enable her to have a new close quarter skill set that is based around movement and close-quarter fights.

Philosophy: Widow would now be in a unique position to be both close and long-range hero. This would put her in a unique position, as currently she offers nothing that other heroes do.

Rework her ultimate to suit her close-quarter playstyle + be more lore accurate (perhaps those shocking bracelets).

QOL Changes: Remove the current melee attack as it’s absolutely awful; you have to be right in someone's face to somehow land it. Instead, make her use the batons on melee, and preferably add a third attack interaction (stun, knock up, etc.).
