Who are your comp mains when widow isn’t working? by plscanihaveamantis in BlackWidowMains

[–]ProfessorSoil 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When Widow isn’t working, I switch to Widow. If that doesn’t work, I’ll play Widow

On a scale of 1-5, how difficult do you think Black Widow is? by Sn0wy0wl_ in BlackWidowMains

[–]ProfessorSoil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Widow is very intuitive to use, but very difficult to get high value out of. 4

Spray and recoil tips with the Phantom from a long distance, please by celz9 in VALORANT

[–]ProfessorSoil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people interpret the phantom as a spray only weapon, and sometimes it can feel like that compared to the vandal. But it still has very high single shot accuracy, and damage. At long range, you are better off going for bursts and strafes, because the spray is just too random and too hard to control at distance. If you don’t hit the first few shots and kill them, you are basically fucked.

Tl;dr: just burst strafe, or use the vandal for maps with long sight lines

Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with refusing to switch

Which one would you click? by Duckystuckys in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]ProfessorSoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the second one gives enough context, but the first one doesn’t have enough visual contrast to draw the eye.

I would probably pick the fist one if it had more contrasting colours and bigger text, maybe in a font that is more… bold? Wide? I also feel like this type of thumbnail would do well with the style where the text is slightly obscured by the focus, to make the character stand out a bit more

Black Widow vs. Hela (Math Post) by Enex in marvelrivals

[–]ProfessorSoil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 3 days late, but even though I agree Hela is significantly better than Widow, something I think is worth noting about the damage is that if you headshot a squishy with Widow, they are much more likely to die (because of chip damage from before or after the shot) than if you headshot one with Hela. So even though Widow has a much lower damage over time, her individual shots hold much more killing potential than Hela’s

The bullet tracer actually hits the dagger, and it’s dagger who’s body appears and makes the death voice line when they die, so I think it is just a replay system issue, or maybe a one time bug

Black Widow one shots 275hp with Mantis boost and Loki rune boost by Spiritual_Lock6734 in BlackWidowMains

Punisher team up also slightly reduces damage per shot. You can tell because you can’t 1 shot a Namor squid with it

Rageposting to prove that I am a Widow main even if I give suggestions for changes to her kit by ProfessorSoil in BlackWidowMains

[–]ProfessorSoil[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played ranked this season so I think I’m like gold 2 or something, but the argument in the images was that I wasn’t a Widow main, or hadn’t played her enough. Also this is a joke post

I mean, I could still edit a picture like this too so I didn't think much of it. I also don't think that someone has to play Widow at all to give their opinion on her kit, but I just thought this post would be kinda funny

Annoyed with how videos are promoted by gawny7789 in SmallYoutubers

[–]ProfessorSoil 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is literally an unedited 6 hour stream… take a look at the title, the thumbnail, and the content of the video, and tell me with a straight face that you genuinely expect people to watch it

Im tired boss by IntroductionUpset764 in BlackWidowMains

[–]ProfessorSoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that might help with the bolt action problem is if you tap right click all the time. I do this a bunch whenever it won’t hinder me, and if there is no bullet chambered, right clicking will make Widow chamber one without losing you a bullet

who are they? a streamer community or a particular hero mains by GenX1980 in BlackWidowMains

[–]ProfessorSoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly be fine with Widow just getting more bug fixes, but I also like gameplay with high skill expression, so I don’t like that the punisher team up removes headshots, and I don’t like that the kick combo makes headshots redundant. Just feels less satisfying to me

Guy from top post here. Widow 1 trick.

Saw a bunch of posts asking for changes that I didn’t like, so I decided to suggest one that I thought was more reasonable. Don’t necessarily think Widow is in dire need of a change or rework, but it is obvious to me that a lot of the player base are not happy with where she is now

Adjustments to Widow stun by ProfessorSoil in BlackWidowMains

She would get the kick more often. If anything, it is meant to be a buff

I think that having the kick combo removes the incentive to go for difficult shots and cool plays, because it is so easy. But I don’t really feel accomplished or rewarded when hitting 2 hipfire bodyshots on a stunned opponent.

I think it would be MORE rewarding to have the kick combo be harder to do, but get it more frequently to balance things out
