An extraordinarily frustrating team. Notice the way D.va leaves me to deal with Winston all by myself after I killed a third of the enemy team? I did my best, though. All three enemy snipers (counting McCree, which I think is reasonable) had identified me as The Only Actual Problem, but I still managed to get the jump on 'em a few times.

Daaaaang you're good with Widowmaker. I am terrible at any aiming that isn't pure twitch instinct, myself. XD
My condolences on the less than awesome team

Thank you! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ ♥

I've spent a lot of time in the Widowmaker-only headshot-only FFA games that you can find in Custom Games.

In those games, there are basically three levels of Widowmaker - well, four, if you count the zero level of people who time out or ragequit quickly.

0: Timeouts and ragequits.

1: Sniper fodder. 1:4, 1:5 K/D ratios. Can do enough not to get booted out, but that's it.

2: Competents. 1:1 K/D ratios or near it. Potentially dangerous; can win a dual with the next level up. These players will start finding themselves being booted out of Bad Widow games.

3: Competitors. Those who might actually win, and by win, I mean win, first place. I have recently been making it up into this level, and consider myself to have reached it, having actually won. But only once.

I started in level zero, just doing my best not to get timed out, and it was brutal, and I have been climbing my way up ever since.

Huh. Yeah, I've never really tried most of the FFA stuff

Best training grounds I've found in the game - well, as far as mechanical skills go. (I also have some custom AI games set up which were really helpful too.)
