Hi, I'm the guy who decided 4 months ago to start running forms in the x.5 seasons to gauge general community sentiment. It's almost the season's end, so once again I am doing it again. I hope we can get a larger sample size this time. Please share it around; Reddit mods don't like mass cross-posts. Thank you, and have a great day!

Widow has a ton of bugs, and it’s become a running joke in the Black Widow community that every new update just adds more. The main ones we run into really hurt her gameplay and impact the player’s abilities. These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, other Black Widow players could probably name even more.

- Inability to grapple after a kick
- The grapple colliding with geometry cancels your grapple. (happens 75% of the time)
- Shot no Reg (Notably this issue is across the game as a whole and not specific to the character)
- Delays when you can start charging your ultimate after pressing Q
- 3 second delay before energy recharge

There are countless other bugs and issues I won’t list. Before getting into the passive, I want to address her kick cooldown and suggest what I think is a fair adjustment.

My idea is a simple conditional cooldown: if you attempt the kick and miss, it’s a 5-second cooldown. If you hit someone with kick but fail to grapple after the 5-second grapple window, you get another 5-second cooldown, making it effectively 10 seconds. If you successfully kick and grapple, the cooldown is 15 seconds. The reason for this change is that while the ability can guarantee at least one kill, it shouldn’t hit you with a harsh 15-second cooldown unless you’ve fully used its potential.

Passive Idea: Fang Strike

The idea behind Widow is to create a strong, heavy-hitting character with impressive long-range capabilities, something few characters can pull off, without giving her the one-hit power available to Hawkeye. This is largely due to her gameplay design, which focuses on front-lining rather than staying in the back like typical snipers in other games. Without going into too much detail, the biggest issue that hinders Widow is the bonus health or armor (blue health) that characters can gain or receive. On paper, it makes sense to reward players for actions they should be taking, but this mechanic affects Widow more than any other character. Since she needs to deal heavy damage and lacks a one-shot kill, bonus health impacts her performance significantly.

My proposal is "Fang Strike": Critical Hits bypass Bonus Health, dealing damage directly to base health.

There are two key aspects to consider. First, the effect is triggered exclusively by critical shots, thereby rewarding precise aim and leaving targets unaffected by standard body shots. Second, it grants Widow a distinctive role unprecedented in the game, positioning her as a countermeasure to bonus health advantages.

I think this is the best way to give Widow a solid overall buff without completely changing her kit. If implemented, I believe she could jump from most people's F-D tier up to at least a B-A.

Changing controller settings is one thing, but what the hell is this

I personally believe that if it wasn't for Emma being on the list, Widow would've had her Second Hellfire Gala Skin. It's probably the best Gala Skin😭✌️

Original post

On her official page at https://marvelrivals.gg/heroes/black-widow/

Shows an ability name in Chinese, something called Lions launch, an infrared detector ability, and some kind of melee form

edit: leakers confirmed these were pre alpha concepts for her

I also made white fox and the rivals version of Deadpool before this. I may make widows classic outfit custom for her soon but idk yet.

We’re over a year without any kind of buff or meaningful bug fix. Will things be looking up in season 8?

Ahh I hit the tictactoe with this one! Headshot, grappling/kick combo, AND batons ALL on the same play.

I play on console and recently changed my aim assist window to a very low setting. Turns out the lag I kept feeling was me fighting with my aim assist!

I had stopped playing her for a little because I was getting frustrated with my inability to control my reticle, (i messed with settings i didnt fully understand thinking it was my sensitivity or whatever, max deadzone blah blah) but now we are back and better than ever 🥹

Anyways, thanks for reading lol. We wound up taking the point back and winning after this play 🙂

Just had one of my best matches as BW , only D2 so nothing crazy but I was solo Q and team had only a few pings and no coms otherwise haha somehow managed to keep MVP most of the game & was shocked to see Scarlets kills end game ! Oh yea there was a moment where my teammate was complaining and raging but that’s an easy mute and keep locked in. Let me know what y’all think and any advice would be welcomed !
