I started doing more dmg on Ana and my dps duo that I usually queue with legit stopped playing with me because I'm "not doing enough healing". Even though my win rate and rank has gone above his (low plat to high diamond), he refuses to believe its the correct way to play. He says I should just play dps instead of trying to get kills on support. Awkward has shown me that some people are just destined to stay low rank and will never take accountability for their poor gameplay.

getting picks with ana is definitely a must because she's such a strong and capable support BUT you need to make sure you're keeping your team up because you're still support. if you have good comms with your other support and they're focusing more on healing and are capable of mostly keeping the team up solo (like a weaver for example) then i'd say it's fine to do more damage than to heal, but don't forget to help out because ana's heals are also excellent and you'll build ult charge faster. if i'm not playing ana myself i LOVE when my ana is getting good picks and will ride for her as the other support

If she has walls up and you're in a precarious situation, you can fake jiggle-peak out of cover to waste some of her time.

As a widow player who's praised a lot for good aim, I'd like to mention that even flicking partly needs predicting where a target is moving. I've noticed that I instinctually move the reticle slightly towards where the target is moving during a flick. The larger the flick the more time it takes to execute, and the target will have moved a bit by then, thus the need for the prediction. If they move side by side fast it's harder to flick but I would switch to a different aiming technique which is to position the reticle stationary in between the target's strokes and wait for the right moment to shoot. If they stroke unpredictably, changing stroke distance and stroke start/end point, that's where it can get hard to hit shots. A combination of tracking and microflicks is probably the most reliable at that point, but it'll take more time to line up the shot and shooting back can put a lot of pressure on me at that point. Also I can confirm jumping sideways is very easy to hit. It's funny when they think they're evading bullets lol. They're helplessly in the air during jumps, I can flick with good prediction or line up the shot where they land. They can actually change direction during a jump which is an efficient technique on sojourn and baptiste (surprisingly hard to hit) but the trajectory can still be predicted and tracked upon changing direction, unlike sharp turns on the ground behind a cover.

Some of these things make sense in a lot of cases but sometimes it won’t matter no matter what. In those cases one of your DPS HAS to play widow. One thing about and enemy widow vs countering widow is the enemy will be looking for picks while YOU are looking for HER and not looking for picks. Sometimes you have to know who she’s looking at and you have to capitalize fast enough when she’s focused on someone else. Communication is something that greatly helps when you should capitalize “hey widow looking at me” should be enough for you to peak and take her out of the game. It’s a team based game having teammates to give you feedback DOES HAVE A FACTOR ON THE OUTCOME OF A GAME. You can’t just say skill issue to everything when communication is one of the biggest things that can swing a game

Sometimes using knowledge you know from other games can help out in others. One thing I do in dead by daylight with tracer is running into the enemy then away very quickly using blinks in a 1v1. This tends to confuse players giving me an easy kill without much effort.

Counter-Strafing is another issue with Overwatch's lack of intuitive design, counter-strafing doesn't feel nearly as powerful as it is...

This means you need to improve your map knowledge and awareness of the enemy players. 90% of the fight against a widow is figuring out where she is. This means you can either wait until she takes a shot and exposes her position, or scout for information to find her. Intimate knowledge of the maps will help you understand the "default" places a widow may be positioned and where she can move to.

How to beat widow: Play hanzo, shoot her in the head. She moves slow when scoped in so she can’t dodge you at all and you can use sonic arrow to know when and where she’s going to peek. Or if healer: kiriko and just throw a kunai at her head. She moves too slow while scoped in to dodge so either she runs away with low health or gets 2-tapped by the kunais.
