[@Fools_Requiem]

Neither a carry, nor the reason they lost.

[@chrism6880]

They definitely are a huge part of the loss. Playing a hero that can do consistent damage is way more useful to your team than getting a pick once in every 5 team fights.

[@patrickmcdaniel5756]

​@@chrism6880 they are a huge reason for stressing their teamout in fights that could have been way easier.... and they didnt carry. But that team should have never lost that final fight and the widow got the lucio pick to start it.

[@juveintheusa6261]

⁠@@chrism6880everybody on that team was so bad it doesn’t matter. Supports falling off the map. Odds are this person would have been feeding a lot more if they weren’t sitting way far back with widow.

[@satamiko]

​@@juveintheusa6261 the point isn't about them sitting back, though, it's their apm that is so low that it contributes to the loss. Saying I carried but got blamed where apm is this low, standing and waiting for someone to walk out from behind a wall when they are 1v1ning an ana behind like 5 walls instead of grappling to help and 2v1ning is peak ego "I do my stuff, I get picks while I'm not dived, why can't my teammates deal with dives and get picks as well? Where is my team??" Stuff right there.

[@krak2q]

i mean. it really simple. mechanical skills of a silver = ur in silver. nothing more nothing less.

[@Draxeid]

I like Flats' take on Widows, even if you are not hitting as many shots, Widow has a certain presence whenever she is on a team that makes the enemy team HAVE to keep on their toes and adjust to a certain playstyle, so whilst his Widow was inconsistent, he did contribute quite a bit to the team, I just wish he'd use the Mine and his Ult a lot more often also not to be scared to reposition when there is a flanker coming in on his ass lmao

[@yesnonoyessir]

I don't think these s4 players really adjusted their pla style that guy decided it would be good to go phrah against two sniping dps hitscans mercy holding space while calling and junkrat jumping around

[@yesnonoyessir]

[@delonat]

When there is a flanker doing WHAT on his ass?

[@akkiko]

Eh, yes and no. If a Widow is good enough to hit their shots then yes people will play around sightlines but if they prove they can't hit anything but a still target then I don't really pay that much attention to them beyond not positioning like a bronze. Conversely it's a dps far removed from the fight and not applying much pressure. It doesn't matter if you finally hit that shot after the teamfight is lost or your team is unable to take advantage of your kills. IE: you pick a support and a dps but their Rein just shattered the rest of your team, etc etc.

[@theemeraldhour]

Definitely false. lol a Widow's presence means nothing if I can literally stand directly in front of her and vaguely crouch and a/d strafe and she never hits a shot. As a Mercy, you better hit your shots or Im gunning you down and ignoring you. What you said is true in low metal where players dont know better. Get a little higher and people will notice you arent hitting shots and focus you for free ult charge.

I seriously don’t even understand the need to hold onto WALL HACKS when you get it back after like 5-6 kills

[@therealabracat]

walls really isnt a huge playmaker ult, so it charges quickly, and you hold on to it for a MAXIMUM of 30 seconds

[@rinslergj1]

Walls is such a valuable ult for your team that can change fights completely. We know reaper should have is ult soon but where is he. Let me just pop walls and now everyone can see him. It completely shuts off flanks and highlights players alone and out of position. Always try and have walls up as much as possible. It's not just so you can get picks on people walking around the corner

[@n9nedots]

I only hold onto my ult if there’s a reset (I’m walking back and I get it, we teamkilled so I’ll wait a bit for them to respawn, etc). Otherwise, send it because you’ll get it back super quick and it’s not really a playmaker ult

[@pokimanefartcompilation]

I can understand turning around for a quick shot or two but the fact they stayed soomed in for a whole 6 seconds was crazy.

[@razgrizfps]

It’s like watching widow gameplay in slow motion. This is actually mind blowing to me. An actual evaluation of it though from a lot of time playing Widow in high elo is learning to force out reapers wraith. Shooting him in the head and killing him is obviously good, but so is shooting him in the body and forcing him to either wraith away or (more likely in your elo) wraith toward you. If he goes toward you just grapple away and finish him. If he goes away just resume shooting him or his teammates, whichever doesn’t put you in danger. For the final attack, realizing that mercy/Lucio could never keep an Orisa alive was key. Every chance you could put a shot in her head should have been taken. Once she dies the rest of the fight just falls in place. Even if you don’t kill her yourself, Orisa can’t really play the game if she has low heals and a sniper keeps bursting chunks out of her health bar when she comes out to contest space. A swap could obviously have helped, yes, but personally I would rather see someone truly learn how to play into something unless you are truly being hard countered, which you just weren’t. They never played a widow counter here. You probably won’t read this and you certainly don’t know me so take my advice if you get it with a grain of salt, but it got me pretty far. PS: All of Emonggs advice was obviously good. I just wanted to focus on things he didn’t say.

[@satamiko]

I completely agree on the learning, but I think that in a situation where it goes into more than one more round they should swap just because they are not getting enough value to help the team itself. The other team applied more pressure than theirs and hence won due to the Widow's team playing deathmatch here and there where it wasn't necessary, for example Widow could've helped Ana many times, including and especially the one time where Reaper dived Ana but Widow just watched the two fight. If they would value numbers over "I go in I die, it's their problem" they could easily win that.

[@razgrizfps]

@@satamiko sure, but at the end of the day it is silver. I just can’t recommend someone just swap constantly to rank up. If you are struggling in metal ranks you have bigger issues than which hero you are playing. If I’m being more harsh and honest, if you are swapping to deal with anything below plat you aren’t going to make it far.

[@mintzazaa]

​@@razgrizfpsagree 100% just started playing dps ranked, already in gold, and people switch so much without ever using their ult just to counter you, buuut cant play Widow in Gold since if I hit one headshot their dps instantly go Sombra, and if your healer isnt really caring about you mostly because of thinking everyone sucks at this character or your tank is fully suicidal, if the Sombra just focus you first, then you just cant really get a value for your team, so in cases like that play with a decent support duo that can keep an eye or be at your side in the backline like Ana or switch.

[@ubacow7109]

Ppl in OW don't use the ping system often enough. It's such a useful tool. Esp sombras

And when people do use it others don’t pay attention a lot of the time😂 I’ll ping someone in the back many times as support and then they kill me and proceed to kill my team cos no one even acknowledged the ping or my death.

@@fireboogaloo6871 I seriously can't fathom how you are confused about my comment lol. It's literally just talking about the first few moments of the video... first point in the game shown...

[@lukaslambs5780]

By silver standards, this guy isn’t bad and wasn’t throwing. But they also weren’t carrying either.

[@rinslergj1]

Their aim is a little lazy. When they try tracking someone they always fire the shot behind the target. If they adjust their sense up by 0.5 to 1 It would help mitigate that a bit. Second is their reaction time every time the reaper tp'ed he'd become vulnerable and 1-2 seconds later they would finally shoot. Third is positioning to many times of just sitting on the ground in the middle of the open. Rialto is such an amazing map for widow with constant high ground for angles. Then when they do take high ground at places like 9:28 they just sit in the middle of the open while it's a decent angle your too easy to punish. Go to either of the ledges in front of you. To the left you have the corner you can use as cover with nearly the same angle and you can go down the stairs to get a quick shot on supps hiding around the corner. To the right you have plenty of cover with far better vision of supps back by the bridge or dps trying to play around the statue. They definitely didn't throw the game but they are far from carrying and could have given more value playing another character.

[@Annemoontje]

Yeah, that was my take of it. They are mostly too 'slow' - but it's both sensitivity and reaction time. Low aim sense is all about having your crosshair placement on point and being able to react quickly. I would say increase the sense a bit, learn a bit about cross hair placement and honestly just PRACTICE. By practicing in trainers to automate the response so that they don't need to *think* to click. I feel like that is their main problem. It would fix this delay in their response. (And very rightfully positioning, awareness etc - train yourself to think "what would I do if I was the enemy reaper?").

[@rinslergj1]

@Annemoontje aim trainers can be good but I find they only really help flick shots and building the muscle memory. Aim trainers don't really train you for the movement actual movement players have vs an ai system. I think theirs 3 different ways to Aim. You have tracking, prediction and flicks. Tracking is being able to stay with the target which is great for characters who move in more linear motions. Examples would be tanks soldier ana and so on. Then you have prediction. This will be when your holding angles and door ways. Reapers tp tracers recall sombras translocator genji deflect moira fade pharas rocket boost and mercys guardian angel. Along with letting people walk into your crosshair and grapple shots. The last is flicks and arguably the hardest these are shots you'll have to master for when you get pushed and are in close range fights or for characters with sudden and rapid movement abilities like tracer blink mercy in Valk echo Lucio etc. This takes alot of muscle memory and time to become reliable in. New players can also become very confused when they hear players talking about crosshair placement as no one really tells them what that means. The obvious answer is keep it around head level which is good advice for people who look at the ground. When you get deep into crosshair placement it changes slightly with each of the 3 types of shots I described above. When tracking don't aim for the head it can be harder to maintain proper tracking especially if the character is constantly changing in elevation. Place your crosshair at shoulder level and learn how to make small adjustments to the head hitbox as you pull the trigger. Aiming at shoulder level gives you a larger area to keep track of your crosshair and the target and will give you a sense of greater control especially if you are someone who is prone to panic when in a stressful game. For predictions you want to aim at head level here you know where the target will be moving too and the biggest part is timing. Overwatch is different than most games where each character isn't the same height or same shape. Last is flicks you want your crosshair to be placed about the middle of whatever area your target is and can move to then go for the shot when they get about a 45 degree angle from where you're cross hair is. Since 45 degrees is the most natural angle of movement in your wrist or elbow. I primarily use my wrist when I'm in a close range fight and then elbow when it's farther distance. Everything takes thousands of ours to truly master but if new players can understand the base fundamentals when learning this will help them not build bad habits and bad muscle memory. Positioning is something that can always be learned at anytime but aiming is something where if you practice wrong it'll will take hundreds of hours to fix.

[@mentarium]

on the flip side i think he is trying and failing to control a sens that is too high. usually you would see people overaim with that, but i think this is a rare case of being overly cautious of how far to move and having way too small mouse movements. lowering sens a bit could help them gain more control over their aim. can't argue with the other points though. i didn't know somebody could have such slow reaction time.

[@rinslergj1]

@mentarium the only reason I say increase is because they have the muscle memory built for the aim they have. They're actually very consistent at hitting just above the shoulders. So if they just slightly increased it they would maintain their muscle memory for the exact same arm movement but increased speed would just nudge the crosshair over just slightly to hit the head. I definitely see your point and I'm probably a little biased since I believe you should always play at higher sensitivity and learn to control it with small precision movements and knowing how to move your mouse with your thumb and pinky then wrist onto elbow instead of just wild large movements. That thinking probably stems more from coming from console and now on pc I have a small desk restricting me to a smaller mouse pad.

[@djaziztube]

As someone playing on 1.4 sens I can only imagine the mayhem of increasing my sense by 1.

[@mekacrab]

[@mel_mudkip23]

The widow shoots like me with stick drift.

[@Xeyvian]

Like in some of my recent matches where we ALL had 2x the enemy team in elims (talking about 30 kills to 12), assists and staggers, the enemy team won because people on ours were playing their own thing away from the cart defensively and the enemy simply inched it in. Same can be said about trickling and control maps.

[@rinslergj1]

This game shows perfectly on why stats don't matter in a game specifically the very start of the game with the first point. The widow gets 3 kills but only 1 kill actually provided value. Immediately off the start both dps completely abandoned the team fight to focus the reaper and it took them over a minute to kill him by the time he died the tank 1 supp and the other dps were dead. They then get a Second pick while their team was in spawn which didn't slow up the enemies movement in the slightest. Then they kill the reaper again which is finally the first kill with actual value because their team is on the bridge coming back into the fight. Just because you're getting kills doesn't actually mean your providing value to your team

[@satamiko]

Playing on defence highground and allowing enemies to push up until certain points is completely fine as long as you know when to go in and stop them from doing so, but that requires a lot of awareness. This is why c9 can be seen even in top500 at times.

[@devinedictatorshipgaming]

I think the word you are looking for at the beginning of the second round is value

[@Sandmansa]

From what I see, that's not what I would call a carry. At least they did contribute some value to the fight. First and foremost, this widow needs to keep working on that aim and reaction time. Positioning was fair. But got to keep moving around. It keeps the enemy guessing where you are. Secondly, widow has much more to her kit then the one-shot and grapple. Her spider mine is very useful for self-defense and can aid in a team fight. And her ult is invaluable to the entire team. Don't be afraid to use these more often. Lastly, try to ping more targets that you are focusing on. Widow usually has a better view of the battlefield than her teammates do. Now I can't really tell for sure, but it looks to me that the supports were in retaliation to this widow pick. There was no love there.

[@brytoncarder1419]

I think this is one of those if you’re happy being in silver or whatever tank then don’t swap but if you want to get higher in ranks a swap would have made the difference

[@n9nedots]

As a longtime widow main, I’ll say back in the early seasons of OW1 I really thought I was the carry if I got 10 hs in a game. Like it’s just a widow thing to let random picks make you think you’re carrying

As a widow main this hurts to watch (I'm plat, 100 hrs on widow so maybe not such big difference) I think they should adjust their sensivity.

[@Invhytas]

I think it's important to realize that a widowmaker has to do much more in a match to be a good contributor to their team compared to other DPS heroes. Other DPS heroes can provide a distraction (just another 250hp meatshield in a fight can be great for your tank), consistent chip and spam damage, damage to shields, and cooldowns that aren't just centered around themselves. Widow needs to get one pick per fight at minimum to contribute.

You know Dva, the tank, aka the payload carrier and genji the dps, aka also the payload carrier right? ugh anyways we rewatched their replay, and the LW barely knew how to press his buttons (they fell down the stairs near the mini healthpack on the right of spawn. Also, when i pinged the hanzo at the start of the match, they were clearly not looking, because the moment the doors opened, they walked out, and got slept. and for divine grace didn't die from the hanzo) the mercy too (dashing in the middle of the enemy to try and res the tank, always sticking close to MY ass instead of going for our DPS, and overall had very bad gamesense) they looked like bronzes/silvers, and they were the loudest to complain. it's always the low ranked players, man.

So yeah, I agree with the guy above that if they were a bit better the reaper could've bullied the back line the entire game. Overall though I'd agree that reaper isn't a good match up against a Widow that knows how to switch up their positioning and has decent reaction time.

[@Lappmogel]

Imagine being their tank. You have two snipers that applies little to no consistent pressure, which means the enemy can just walk on your while their supports are half free to do some dmg as well. So you have 5 enemies spamming dmg on you, meanwhile your supports are falling of the map. What a horrible experience.

[@xSilentXsireNx]

Im in silver rn and these are deginitely the types of people i end up playing. The widow was doing well teyong to so damage, but honestly, that enemy team was horrible so they shouldnt have let them win. Js.

[@Juno3AM]

the background music is a bit too loud, great video tho

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

"I don't know how to explain it: sometimes you hit a shot but then you don't hit a shot." Yeah, it's called low accuracy. :D

[@Jessespresso]

to be fair, if this widow managed to increase their consistency and speed - they'd easily climb to gold without improving anything else. You can see they learn as they play and their positioning isn't bad for a silver player

[@francislee174]

This is so fucking painful… missing BODYSHOTS

[@Frosty_tortuga]

hes doing dmg thats it hes not stopping movement of point and not really killing

[@Iwantbrains247]

They're better than me on widow haha

[@kqtiekelly]

I see you, too, have a cat that likes to clean the sides of their litter box. And has the stinkiest shits in the world. Also, widow had some moments, but could use some help. I don't play widow because I don't like the playstyle, but was definitely not like some of the widows I've had the displeasure of being against....

[@NightBlade117]

This is the Widow one trick I always wish to play against. Easily diveable 😅

[@feltcnz7829]

one tricks are supposed to be at least good at who they play.

[@spimbles]

Dude what? I didn’t look at the title and thought this was bronze 5 by the gameplay lmfao how is this silver 😭

[@bigfudge2031]

not much different to be honest.

[@mekacrab]

less than 5 people fell in the water so this is silver. this is how you determine the rank, by counting how many fell off the map, works everytime.

[@21972069450471]

Just my luck, in nearly every game that I've played with a Widowmaker and Sombra, we end up losing every time. Just not doing enough DPS. And to see gameplay like this too? Urgh lol.

[@Abraham_Belmont_V]

Peace be upon you. ^w^

[@skitterybananas1365]

i wouldn't say it's the widows fault, but as a widow main, I cannot imagine holding onto ult for that long. I know they're silver but yeesh

[@kai8462]

Background music loud as fuck

[@NotOki1]

why i dont like playing with widows: they are a liability, they often start good but eventually tunnel visioned and refuse to swap. also most of the time id just prefer another damage character, widow isnt useful until she gets a pick and until then is a liability not producing much pressure and then significant advantage only happens when they get another pick. just my thoughts, let me know yours.

[@mekacrab]

If they suck, the problem isn't Widow, it's the player playing Widow. You're saying she doesn't produce much pressure but she can almost entirely deny an angle just by existing because you don't really want to peek an angle she's watching if you're a DPS or support. But yeah a lot of times said player would provide more value by playing some other DPS, but sometimes they're goated on widow. And some maps are especially good with Widow like Circuit Royale so it's fine. It is the classic "hit your shots" character. If you don't it's litteraly useless, otherwise it's pretty decent.

[@NotOki1]

@@mekacrab yea alot of times they make or break a game. Majority of the time eventually they're gonna get countered. Any time a team cant counter her eventually is more than likely when they're upset trying to hard to kill her. Realistically if its a balanced game of skill and ego is set aside widow shouldn't be a threatening problem the whole game.

[@zeldacereza]

Yeah, 9/10 I’m baby sitting my widow.

[@sgt.milkshake3352]

​@@zeldacerezaMy Widow is my brother, so if I don't babysit that bitch I'm gonna hear it lol

[@thi8541]

i mean at least this time the title said he is the one cArriEd and play WeLL and not blame stuck at silver cause teammates 🤯

[@sylspren9007]

It's classic damage player regardless of hero... do trash for 2/3's of the game, pop off inconsistently for 1/3 of the game and feel like a God. Classic lobby, blame the Widow, the Sombra, the Doom, the 'undesirables' blindly without thinking.

[@YDarkLinkY]

The Widow uses her abilitys far to less. I mean, hold her Q for like 2 Minutes? For what? her Mine? maybe she used it 2 or 3 Times in the first round

[@Rebel1280]

I .... WHAT? Im silver 4 and this is nothing like the lobbies im getting and this widow makes me look like top 500 wtf is going on with the ranking system?! I'd say 80%+ of my matches have a coked out Genji or Tracer too. Side not, im Silver 4 in Role Que and Plat in Open Queue, i wonder if thats why.

[@ameliacampbell8205]

Quick tip about your cat wet cat food can and will make their poop smell horrible

[@Gamespectives]

Says widow throws game... Meanwhile 2 supports fall off map on their own On def i would blame his team more than him. He is getting kills . Their other dps n tank not peeling reaper, while they are pressuring the others. Its silver widow, dont expect great aim. Actually aim is great for silver. They do need to use infra sight more for information. It helps the qhole team

[@castorvolkCH]

I mean... Triple snipers. This team was doom from the get go.

[@David-dp8qt]

You're the reason they got rid of those warnings lol

[@Jordy1707]

Haha, Ana is barely a sniper with her quick scopes, and a good Ana would have eaten that Reaper for breakfast. I remember the early days when Widowmaker was in the defense category when her pick potential actually made her more viable on attack. In defense, more consistent output is more viable.

[@thatdirty]

whiff whiff whiff

[@SleepyKwee]

How on earth are you going to accuse the DPS of throwing when the two supports fall off the map...........

[@user-eo4it2rn1f]

what sandcastle?

[@thedude0000]

3 mins into the video....I haven't seen this widow hit a single head shot; so, just on that alone I'd say she wasn't helping.

[@MrPierdole123]

I wish my silver games looked like this xDDDD I feel like we're playing in Diamond compared to this shit, widows cracking 30-40k's per game. xD

[@skweetis]

Honestly if your gameplay is at this level, there's no reason to throw shade. Nobody in this lobby can point to anyone else and say "you being bad, in particular, is why we lost." But it's really common for low-level fps gamers to pick a sniper character/weapon, corner peek and get some kills, and think they are carrying. What's more important than kills is your contribution to teamfights and capturing/defending objectives, and at no point did the widow approach the objective in this game. If your team is losing, and you're going to die, buy some time at least. The ability to either create or capitalize on the distraction of having shots coming from far away or weird angles is what widow is for, not just racking up headshot kills. Even at this level, making the other team account for the widow by just being in the right place at the right time, you'll have more influence on the outcome of the game. And if your ability to do that is hampered by someone on their team counter-picking you and pushing you off your spots (like the reaper), do consider switching so you can go back to contributing. Staying on a character that is being actively countered and then pointing to your damage/elim stats when your team is losing is not the way.

[@JDMKEV]

this is the silver definition of "carry" jesus christ lol

[@feltcnz7829]

if THIS silver widow hits 3 headshots and 12 body shots then i should be a much higher rank lmao. this was painful to watch

[@midend]

Not his fault on widow most of the time for a silver
