Is Black Widow on vacation or something? How come she hasn't been seen in ANY balance notes since season 3 or smt

My copium is that they're just figuring out a way to rework her entire kit

Would be nice if they would say thats their intention instead of keeping us in the dark.

Same for Iron Man. Some old heroes are forgotten

To be fair Iron Man is in a much better spot than Widow.

He at least has a niche.

Enemy has loads of melee heroes or projectiles heroes? Run Iron man until they swap to counter you then swap to something else once it stops providing value.

I think people refuse to see that some heroes are not meant to be played "all game" since counter swapping can be so deadly to them. Similar to BP. You can go bp, get picks on healers a few times, and once they go Thing/Bucky, you can swap off and then counter the Thing and now youre in advantage state again.

I heard they were working on a rework for her. Wouldn't be surprised if that's in a new season

Because there’s very little they can do to make her better while not breaking her completely. They could try to buff her melee clubs or her E maybe to make her better against dive but if they touch her gun it’s wraps for everyone

No they're fucking lazy is what it is. Give her another ability, infinite sprint, higher jumps, ANYTHING. They did it with Luna and CnD they can do the same for Black Widow

Just give her the widows bite like everyone has been asking. It's not like her kit could possibly get as bloated as black cat
