      @@Nexahexaflexa You can't predict a hitscan oneshot with immos, and rezz is liable to get the Mercy killed because, like, the Widow just shoots her, too.
      Widow is a terrible character, tbh. She's in the category of characters that would serve the game better if they were simply removed entirely.

      @@FlamingNinjaBoi Not defending one shots, just saying the impact isn't as big as people think. Just look at the outcome of games. Sure a good Widow can carry, but having good aim on Widow is not a auto-win. Team fights won't be decided by one-shot mechanics, there is too much way more OP stuff going on that is way easier to execute too.
