This team-up is supposed to let her deal more damage at range, but in reality, the Phoenix team-up still has better TTK thanks to the hitscan cannon and faster fire rate.
My idea is to rework this team-up to bring back Black Widow’s old sniper rifle with ADS, while reverting her current ultimate to its previous version.
I really wish the devs would give this a shot. It would fix the biggest issue with Black Widow:
- her original playstyle and core identity got scrapped for a kit that feels like something you could find on any other poke hero.
This change would make her more approachable while adding more depth to her learning curve. Players in lower ranks or those who aren’t confident in their aim could stick with the Phoenix team-up and use the sniper as their ultimate. Meanwhile, players who want to master her sniping playstyle could switch to this team-up and get her old ultimate back.
With her current kit, including infinite sprint and Widow’s Slam, this would make her a genuinely unique, mobile sniper who relies on positioning.
It would be viable to remove the piercing effect/meter or let it stay to see how it works initially.
I genuinely think this would be a positive change for Black Widow. It would let players choose between two completely different playstyles on the same hero, making her team-ups feel genuinely unique rather than just being another damage boost. She could become one of the most interesting heroes in the game, with two distinct ways to play her depending on what you enjoy.
She is known for being master tactician, it would fit her character to be able to play in 2 different way
