Hawkeye and Black Widow are of similar archtype with long range engagement (sniping,) yet I'm able to consistently perform with Hawkeye, yet Black Widow can barely obtain a headshot.
Black Widow is pretty much known to be way too weak, she needs significant changes to even be good :(
Was watching some streamer the other day trying to pull off Black Widow in Celestial. Every time he picked her at least one of his teammates lost their shit, wishing death upon his family etc. He was doing relatively fine, winning a bunch of 1v1s against Black Panther and Spiderman but overall she's just...so lacking compared to any other DPS. You focus on a target for 1 second too long and you die. You revisit the same angle too early and you die. Best case scenario is you hit a bunch of headshots but it accomplishes nothing because your team can't follow up immediately. I had a lot of fun with her but hitting headshots often feels like tickling the enemy team, and not hitting headshots feels like throwing.

Idk what kind of buff would make her viable, especially in higher levels of play. The oneshot headshot would probably be too aids, but maybe increase her firing speed, give her something like charged shot that oneshots occasionally like Hawkeye or something.

A lot of the high rank OTPs often have a Mantis on their team to damage buff them so their headshots can 1-shot people. Or they'll stay near a Storm on their team doing a damage aura. It's really inefficient that you have to rely on another character for it to be relevant but when it does work, it's frightening. Seeing a Black Widow sprint to the side for 2 steps so she can jump up in the air for an angle to 1-tap a strategist in your backline is turbo AIDs.

Emma looks great. I really hope they will prioritize releasing Vanguard and Strategist heroes until they roughly have the same amount as the Duelists. Otherwise, most things they are doing sound good.
 
Is ranked super sweaty? Also, how does the skill ceiling compare to something like overwatch?

I have watched a tiny bit of gameplay and it looks appealing because teams actually brawl, there's rarely someone getting oneshot or twoshot.
