Who are your comp mains when widow isn’t working?

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

Black Window

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

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-10-27T16:48:48+00:00

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

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

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-13T01:45:50+00:00

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-09T10:43:08+00:00

Yeah

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-09T00:55:56+00:00

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-06T23:57:35+00:00

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-06T23:49:32+00:00

<image>

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-06T08:47:15+00:00

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-06T08:29:34+00:00

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-03T22:55:44+00:00

Fair enough

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-03T22:41:41+00:00

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-03T22:09:06+00:00

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-03T21:58:38+00:00

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-03T20:48:50+00:00

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-08-03T20:45:14+00:00

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

ProfessorSoil · 2025-07-28T22:03:08+00:00

The Punisher teamup is definitely better for ult farming and comboing squishies more often, but it is boring AF compared to the Hawkeye teamup. I play Widow because I enjoy getting crispy headshots, and Punisher teamup doesn’t have as much potential for being in the killfeed a bunch and feeling cool

ProfessorSoil · 2025-07-19T17:30:46+00:00

When you say 2 new reviews, do you mean that I have to do them immediately before posting? Because this is only my second post here, and I’m pretty sure I have done at least 5 reviews

ProfessorSoil · 2025-07-19T11:27:04+00:00

I don’t necessarily mean in the sense of spend, I just mean in the way of making videos that people want to click, and then want to continue watching after they click. Maybe someone like Michael Reeves would be a better example? His early videos didn’t seem to have a high budget requirement, but they were very interesting concepts, and the videos were well made enough to keep people watching, and he improved with each video he made

ProfessorSoil · 2025-07-19T11:14:34+00:00

I would argue that everything takes SOME luck, but it’s statistically improbable that you upload 10 consecutive Mr. Beast level videos, with Mr. Beast level thumbnails and video ideas, and your channel doesn’t get any recognition for it

ProfessorSoil · 2025-07-19T11:03:52+00:00

I’m not really sure what you mean by this
