lol no reaps sry

[solarbird]

Really I'm only posting this one because that Reaper was so sure he would get away with this shit, and he didn't, and he got to watch it again as play of the game.

Ffff, Americans.（⌒▽⌒）

(I'm going to be cross-posting some things for a while to help get these communities started, so if you see this on my journal also? That's why.)

Oh man, nice. Maybe one day I'll actually be a good enough widow go get potg with her. :P

[solarbird]

She is - no lie - hard mode. Particularly on console. But you can be devastating.

My best POTG was a single-person defence of Hanamura first point, down five on one. They'd all but team-killed us, losing only one of their own team in the process - I'd only survived because they got me separately, first.

From the point I popped D.va out of her mech, and she fled. (Fool! :D ) Then I two-shot their Junkrat, and one-shot their Moira, and their McCree. Genji tried to flank to his right (our left), and I hit him hard going into the little building by the choke, but not hard enough, and I was screaming into comms, because a good Genji will fuck me up... but then I nailed him coming out the upper door and said, "Oh, nevermind. Genji solved."

When it replayed as POTG (minus the Genji kill, which took too long to be included) our Reinhardt, who had given me shit for picking Widow, literally just breathed out the word, "....fuck" as I was taking out the cowboy, and I just laughed, and laughed, and laughed.

"And this," I said, "is why I play Widowmaker." （⌒▽⌒）

This is on console? *faints* You have my respect!

A single-person defence of Hanamura as Widow? Spectacular! I'm a crap Widow (but I main healers and tanks, so I rarely ever play anything else >.<), so I have INFINITE respect for anyone who can last longer than 5 seconds as her.

[solarbird]

I am so bad at tanks.

I can play D.va, but I don't really play her has a tank. I play her as a dive/flanking tank at best.

I'm getting better at Brigitte, and I think I play her a little more like an actual tank, but it's so hard. And I gold in heals (in part because I play her as a support too) but... yeah.

A good tank is a great thing and I am not that tank. o(*^▽^*)o

[navelgazed]

Hell yeah. Any character can be effective in the hands of the right person, meta be damned.

[binary_sunset]

I can't believe he tried to teleport RIGHT in front of you. I get that Reaper is a short-range hero but... how else did you think this was gonna end?

[solarbird]

I KNOW! And yet they do it all the time. And it's never not funny.

I know there are a lot of bad Widowmaker players out there - particularly on console - but... c'mon. （⌒▽⌒）

[got_quiet]

I have made this play as reaper many times lol.

I mean sometimes you just gotta give it a shot.

And no it has never worked out.

[solarbird]

I suppose it could, if you had a panicky Widowmaker.

Me, I just saw that column of smoke and was just, "...seriously? Seriously?! No." ( ͡°⌓ ͡°)

[harpers_child]

Mad props. I'm not the world's worst widow, but I'm not good with her either. (I play d.va and pretty much every healer.)

What is the thing you used to gif?

Thanks!

[solarbird]

I've got a lot of hours into Widowmaker and regret nothing. (σ❛ᴗ˂̵)σ✧

I made it with gfycat! They do (free/ad supported) conversion and hosting.

If you click through you'll get a higher-resolution version too, hosted on their site.

I also posted instructions on how embed their gifs here.

Pfffthaha. Man, I haven't played in a while but I still love watching clips.

[solarbird]

Good, 'cause I'll probably post a lot of 'em. 乁(￣ ³￣)ㄏ
