    Anyone else getting the bowed/bent/warped Switch issue? I'm noticing a slight bow on mine, but it's completely unnoticeable without a straight edge, so it could have come like that out of the box for all I know. Still keeping an eye on it.

    Bleck lives in a small town where he needs to take the bus for an hour and a half to get to work, and knows that anyone with a longer commute than that is likely doing it to a job that pays well enough where you could just buck up and buy the extra chargers 

    Which only cost about as much as a new Switch game anyway.

    This battery life thing really is nothing. I don't know why people are upset over it. Considering the caliber of game being run on a Switch as compared to, say, a smartphone, 2-6 hours is actually good.

    To compare: The battery life of the New Nintendo 3DS XL is 3.5 to 7 hours. Not a huge difference.

    I, for one, am excited. Off the top of my head, I can list 7 confirmed games for the Switch releasing this year that make me want to buy it. Give me time to think, I'll break 10. That's enough for me.

    In particular, super pumped for Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon 2.

    Did I mention Splatoon 2?

    So, this game dropped recently, and I've been having a blast. It's everything I liked about the first game, and nothing I didn't.

    Anyone else playing it?

    Yeah, you're so good and experienced:

    That site's gotta be off, then. I've won several competitive games having played Widowmaker. Maybe not all throughout, but I have used Widowmaker to win competitive matches.

    Anyway, Bleck's right, I shouldn't be carrying this on. Nothing I say is going to convince you guys that certain characters aren't "useless", just like your opinions won't stop me from playing those characters and winning with them. It really is a pointless debate.

    Also, sorry if you felt insulted, AngelCityOutlaw.

    Widowmaker is bad right now. You're just going to have to accept that. It's not like it's illegal to play her.

    I guess I'm just good with a "bad" character, then.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    A good Widowmaker on Shrine will die against a team of good everyone else

    You're continually using skill as a way to try and shift the conversation of the viability of the character, when that's not really how it works. If you make suppositions like "if widowmaker player skill above a certain point and the enemy team is at or below that point or the players at or above that point are playing characters Widowmaker is strong against, then of course Widowmaker is OP HURR DURR"

    We're not talking about that. We're talking about kit design, map design, overall meta (her winrate in competitive is bottom of the barrel). Skill is irrelevant; it's a team game, someone particularly good at something doesn't translate to how it interfaces with the other 11 players in the game so much as how that player is contributing to composition.

    If your entire argument is that you get killstreaks with Widow, it's a really weak argument. The people you play against are shit. That is the far more likely scenario than that the general Overwatch community has no idea how to play Widowmaker effectively but you somehow do.

    And for the record, Widowmaker is 4th place in KD despite her shitty winrate, so your citing of killstreaks isn't really contradicting anything; it's actually coinciding with the statistical trend that Widowmaker is good at killing people but not at winning the game.

    Other peoples' Widowmakers being unable to win games =/= my Widowmaker being unable to win games. This is still a L2P issue. Most people don't know how to play Widowmaker, I guess.

    But I think it's strange that you're insisting that everyone I play against is bad. That'd insist I'm better than the vast majority of players by comparison. I'd disagree on both points, but hey, I'll take the compliment.

    this is particularly true of Nepal, in which basically none of the three maps provide her both a clean shot to and a safe distance from the point

    Hahaha, are you kidding? A good Widowmaker on Shrine will have no trouble clearing the point.

    I just got done making the enemy team ragequit in Competitive, first point on Anubis. This after finishing up a solid hold on point B on Volskaya. It's a L2P issue. Though if Blizz wants to buff her so my streaks get even more stupid, I'm fine with that. ;)
