Widowmaker: I'm on fire, and will stay on fire

Sat, 07 Sep 2019 17:45:24 GMT

This was a pleasantly long time spent 'on fire,' and I got the fairly-rare-for-console-Widowmaker MVP card, so I thought I'd post it.

Widowmaker Enjoys the Sights and Shots in Hollywood

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 22:20:31 GMT

I was on fire an awfully long time in this game - once I hit that point I never lost it again - and honestly thought I was going to card for MVP. Instead, I just carded for kills, which makes me wonder about the threshold for that MVP card again.

Were it not for one of those what the fuck is wrong with me moments late in the game, where I missed like eight or nine shots in a row, I'd've been estatic about this performance. I mean, even with that hard slump, this is a well-into-top-1%-scoped-accuracy game, which doesn't say that much as my baseline shooting is top 1% on PS4 generally. But... for a while... for a while, my aim was just intoxicatingly good. For a little while, I don't miss was just the reality of it.

Anyway, there's one shot in particular during the defence of point A which just made me very happy. I'll let you find it. :D

widowmaker: this team kept ignoring me in dorado

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 22:18:44 GMT

This game was one of those where enemy team just kind of... spent a lot of time not confronting me? Which was absolutely their mistake. I mean, we're talking about a fairly supreme unforced error there, in particular one run after they took the first checkpoint (their only really successful push) and I was just mowing them down from a high point they mostly didn't approach.

And even when they did, it's like, they'd chase me, I'd flee momentarily, they'd not follow, and I'd come right back and kill them. Particularly this Genji, who... still seems to have issues with object permanence? Somebody didn't get enough games of peek-a-boo as a kid, I guess.

Widowmaker: but we took the point!

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 20:31:18 GMT

This was so frustrating that I had to share it. We go in, it's another one of those teams that won't touch the point until it's clear, and I'm playing dive attack on my one-trick Widowmaker account. AND IT WORKS. AND I KILL THE LAST STANDING AND TAKE THE POINT.

And then we lose it immediately because the surviving members of my team don't back me up.

Unsurprisingly, we lost.

Widowmaker: Nice shooting after the second checkpoint, I think.

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 19:23:30 GMT

Basically I uploaded this because I liked my shooting in the third segment, when the team finally came together. Enemy team had tried bringing in a Widowmaker, but I had some particularly nice shots against her - there's a particularly delightful one up close - and so she wasn't able to neutralise me. Plus, I found that you can still stand on the large canvas, you just have to chain up at a different point, so I'll practice that some later in a private custom game so I don't get it wrong like I do once here.

widowmaker: shooting well front and back, but no win

Sat, 06 Jul 2019 17:59:32 GMT

This was on offence, and I really like what I was doing on my first round out. We steamrolled through the first point and got the payload underway, and I had a... not sure if it's 10 or 11 kill streak, before they managed to take me down and start slowing us.

Unfortunately, by the time we got into the castle, they'd really figured out the kill order and they held. We got close, but didn't quite get there.

Then the turnaround. Unfortunately... they remembered me. I mean, of course they did, right? And we got charged pretty badly. The only time we slowed them down is when they couldn't keep me out of position, and they absolutely halted, and I was shooting 91% scoped, which is madness. But then they managed to take me down again and that was, sadly, that.

But still, in both cases, I'm pretty pleased with my shooting.

widowmaker: rallying (9 of 14)

Sun, 26 May 2019 05:28:52 GMT

hooooooooo.

so i'm not shooting well, at all, this game. i'm tired, i should've quit earlier but I didn't, and I'm regretting it.

then i ralled, nine out of the final 14 kills were mine (all my final blows - including four of the last six) and we won.

they weren't all good shots - some of them were fairly terrible shots - but they were the shots we needed. you want some pulling a game out of the fire? i will claim this as one.

Widowmaker: ...I think Doomfist got mad

Mon, 25 Feb 2019 20:17:42 GMT

Several good shots in here, and a balance of that with some decent Widowmaker:76 play, and a nice 9:1 k:d ratio. But really, I think the highlight is when most of the way through the game Doomfist decides he has just had it with me. He's just done with my bullshit.

So he comes charging in, left side flank, ignoring everyone else on my team (as I'm on the far opposite side) as they're shooting at him, and is by god going to cut me down. It's hilarious.

Spoiler: he doesn't.

I am terrible through most of this game. Then, suddenly, I'm not.

Thu, 07 Feb 2019 19:57:42 GMT

I'm terrible - I mean, just garbage - and then I get three in one spawn just before this clip starts, and I'm still second to last, and then... well, I'm starting it here, because...

This poor enemy Widowmaker. Honestly. What did she do to deserve this? She's got a nice outright lead, then I kill her five times in a row, with no other kills in between. She spawns; she dies, at the hands of what has until now appeared to be an absolute garbage widow.

I can't even imagine how angry she must've been. It was hilarious.

Widowmaker: a win in deathmatch

Sat, 26 Jan 2019 19:19:03 GMT

This is where I started to feel like I was actually coming out of this slump. Not just because I have some good shooting in here, but because I didn't fall apart when I was in a position to win. I closed the deal. It's psychological, but then, what of this isn't, really?

Widowmaker: oh right, I have a machine gun!

Sat, 26 Jan 2019 18:47:49 GMT

Screw it - I've got a machine gun, my aim may be in the toilet lately but we can still win this.

A straight-up Deathmatch FFA win in Rialto

Sat, 26 Jan 2019 10:05:35 GMT

I've been in one of the worst Widowmaker slumps I've ever been for the last couple of weeks. But I think I'm starting to come out of it. Games like this from Thursday are an example. (I'd embed it, but I don't think I can? It's on Twitch. YouTube won't let me upload it for some reason - no error, it just fails.)

Anyway, that was a straight-up first-place finish in Petra. It felt good, and... yeah. I needed that.

I'm getting kind of okay with Brigitte

Sat, 19 Jan 2019 19:29:33 GMT

The fun bit starts at 7m 11s in, where I utterly destroy the enemy ult stack. I cancel Rein's hammer down, survive D.va's nerf, completely eat Moira's coalescence (through extensive use of bashy-bashy and my own rally), and smash Junkrat's tyre, all in rapid succession.

I think we can all agree that's a pretty good Brigitte run.

widowmaker: longer form sample

Tue, 25 Dec 2018 20:49:59 GMT

Offence and defence pair of quickplay games, at Rialto. I think I saved this mostly because they paired nicely, as if they were comp. (Both wins.)

Pharah: complete bloody rampage

I hadn't been playing very good Pharah lately.

Until last night.

Closing the Deal in Busan

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 21:23:10 GMT

Very up and down sort of game. Enemy Tracer was a massive problem - their Roadhog wasn't bad either - and kept them in it the whole time, and she was the reason they won the round they did. I needed to be above her to stay alive at all.

It's not too typical that you secure a victory this far from the point, but it really was the case this time.

Extended Widowmaker play, Temple of Anubis, second point.

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 21:11:52 GMT

My scoped accuracy was pretty bad early on in this (38%?!) but I got it up to respectable, and more importantly, I think I was reasonably effective. Could've been better against that Sombra, in particular, but... reasonably effective.

Pharah: holding the point 'til my team comes back

Mon, 17 Dec 2018 19:02:26 GMT

My housemate thought this was worth posting - pharah, booping Solder: 76, ulting Roadhog, rocketing Lúcio to hold the point 'til my team got back.

comments

this was all good, but the best part...

Wed, 12 Dec 2018 22:16:42 GMT

This was all good - a no-death first-checkpoint stand on Route 66 with some nice kills and taking out the last two survivors of the enemy team as the only survivor on my team (with some help from turrets) to clinch the victory - but the best bit is this delightful interaction with enemy Junkrat. Just... watch that part. :D

comments

nice run on route 66

Wed, 12 Dec 2018 21:50:17 GMT

This was fun - a nice 18 kill streak. It only counted 16 of 'em because the double-kill from my bomb just after I died wasn't included, but I think it counts - I mean, it wasn't an accident or someone else finishing someone off, it was my bomb, and intentional.

widowmaker enjoys rialto

Sat, 08 Dec 2018 19:37:52 GMT

I really like playing at Rialto. I'm not very effective to the first checkpoint - the team just wasn't in sync yet, I think - but after that, we come together quite well. There's a point - in the highlight I posted - where I take out both healers, including ulting Mercy, and I quite liked that.

i feel like i'm getting a handle on brigitte

Sat, 08 Dec 2018 18:57:53 GMT

I'm still dying too much - way too much really, I'm too aggro and she's not that kind of tank - but this felt really good, and felt like I had the right kind of rhythm with her. Particularly keeping a push going when a lot of our team died and had to come back from spawn. I'm also really pleased with bonking Roadhog into the graviton surge when after he'd dodged it.

Widowmaker: everybody else quit!

Fri, 07 Dec 2018 19:16:44 GMT

Everybody else literally just quit. Or at least enough to trigger a cancel. ( ͡°⌓ ͡°) I was so mad - after an iffy start, I was feeling good, and was completely in charge, and everybody else just rage quit. Goddammit, I wanted that pip - I've got lootboxes to earn! （⌒▽⌒）
