Overwatch: Widowmaker’s “frustration threshold” will soon be lowered

Blizzard is currently testing an internal McCree nerf, but it looks like one for Widowmaker is also in the works.

After the character was criticised on the Battle.net forums, Game Director Jeff Kaplan offered an update.

“Widowmaker is on our radar. We are discussing her,” he said. “We have some internal experiments going to see if we can keep her viable while lowering the frustration threshold a little bit. Right now, this is just exploration. If something more comes of it, we’ll let you know.”

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
