I'm referring to the Arreats/Angelics combo.
Thank you though. I got the idea that Widowmaker
was suppose to hurt opponents.
VERY great guide nonetheless.

I like it

BvC FTW!

You seem to like to rely on widow a lot for some of these match ups.

What if they are also packing a widow? You're a barb without a shield, it seems to me that a char with widow and a shield/weapon on switch would have the advantage.

yes ofc, good example is smiter (if smiter is using widow barb has close to 0 chance to win), but widow is only really needed against hammers and I doubt many hammers will use it.

It is nearly impossible to use widowmaker on a smiter properly. I have personally tried this. I'm willing to be that you haven't even seen this used, let alone tried it yourself. It is very rare to see a pally with a widow.

For most melee chars, using widowmaker is not the advantage theories make it out to be.

1. Almost all of the damage from widowmaker is open wounds. Most of these other characters have very little or no ow. It doesn't do effective damage like that

2. Other characters have so much more to lose when use widowmaker. They lose their block, which is the only thing that stops them from dying near-instantly. Also, they lose alot of mobility. Smiters can't charge, and don't have to fcr to tele + widow to escape. For a BvC is just a matter of time before they land ONE tele + ww that is timed right. Then the duel is basically over.
