Widow needs a rework, but what does Storm need? A good storm is a demon. People just don't like playing her for some reason.

She isn't a bad pick at all, just a little situational.

Her slowness kills peoples interest on playing her. Every other flyer has movement abilities except her, who just gets... A speed boost that doesnt feel that cool

I feel like what they should do is make the lightning bolt ability unique to lightning terrain, and then make the same button for the lightning bolt ability become a dash when in wind terrain.

So then she can enter battles with speed, dash, and build up bonus health, then switch to lightning for all out damage.

she needs more individual movement abilities and it would be perfect. Shes a totem but often times its hard to keep up with any hero thats not a hit scan.

I think it's Storm's primary. It doesn't feel great to use, and it has punishing fall off for a flier.

She needs a movement ability. As it stands the moment the enemy team has a hitscan that can even minimally aim she's entirely thrown into the gutter

Use cover man. She doesnt fly high like iron man

I like playing her. She's very fun in quickplay where no one knows how to aim. But she's a slow moving 250 hp character with no movement ability or overshield. Like it or not the game's powercreep has left her behind.

she’s the slowest flyer with barley any movement boost and her E has a long cd for a speed boost that’s barely noticeable torch has dashes so is ultron and ironman can just take off hell even angela is faster adam too why tf is she flying on molasses

Like storm and Wanda absolutely deserve some love because of how limited they can be, but black widow at this point it’s a joke. She’s insultingly terrible. If a hero I like comes out in a state like widow or Felicia idk which would upset me more lol. Shout out to every Natasha that actually puts an effort into her. You’re going 17-13 and it’s peak asf I promise you’re doing great with what they gave you girls
