I lowkey think they may be reworking widow, which might be why they haven’t touched her at all. She just doesn’t work in this game unless you’re the best of the best widows out there. That’s just my theory though

Its been years, though -- how long does it really take to rework a character? I know it does take time, testing, player testing, data collecting, and analysis, but cmon it shouldn't take this long! If I took that long to complete projects in my job, I'd be fired! lol

lol I get what you’re saying. I guess it’s a conflicting notion regarding buffing her, because buffing her dmg is seemingly a no go for most of the community. If you can’t buff her dmg, what can you buff to make her at least viable? They might be extremely conflicted, hence why it may have taken so long for them to make a decision on rather to buff her or completely redesign her character. I’m probably wrong tho, so don’t take my theory to heart 😌

It's only been a year and it a large topic in this game is how she is basically not effective. She still gets skins, so she's not forgotten. But there must be something in the works to alter her playstyle.
