The Overwatch 2 neighborhood has had a gutful of getting “one-shot” by highly effective heroes, with these grinding within the loftiest ranks of the Blizzard sequel claiming characters that may pull off insta-kills have “utterly ruined the enjoyable” within the sport.
This contains heroes like Widowmaker and Hanzo, gamers mentioned.
The issue, a horde of OW2 gamers mentioned in a Reddit thread on March 14, is that there’s principally no counterplay to those characters. If you happen to make a ‘huge’ mistake like stepping round a nook too early or peeling off out of your staff, these one-shot picks can merely delete you—and gamers need the devs to vary issues up there.
Whereas Widowmaker and her sniper rifle and Hanzo and his trusty bow copped the brunt of the ire, different heroes like Sojourn weren’t free from critique both, although solely when she’s paired with Mercy’s injury boosts.
The most important drawback, the disgruntled Overwatch 2 mob agreed, is Widowmaker. Specifically, their complaints revolved round how a lot she warps the sport. “My gameplay is simply hide-and-seek,” one aggravated Ana essential shared. Others added the problem solely will get worse as soon as Mercy flies as much as be a part of the French sharpshooter and has solely gotten worse now that OW2 has shifted away from ‘defend meta’ just lately.
With season four on the way, there’s an opportunity Widow might cop some nerfs.
That being mentioned, it’s all as much as Blizzard to resolve which characters they wish to change in each Overwatch 2 replace, so we’ll simply have to carry our breath.
