Widowmaker

Tactical assassin

Widowmaker is one of the main and well-known villains from OW

The concept is designed not necessarily upon her basic abilities from OW, but still should feel like playing a tactical assassin (sniper) hero

The concept of Tactical assassin for WM resides in her being able to give self (or her allies) a small or greater tactical advantage over the opponent in order to either outpoke or outsmart the opponent

Additionally the better players will hugely be able to abuse her Trait (Isolation) which makes her deal a good amount of extra damage to opponents that don't have an ally nearby

Combat Trait

1
Isolation
Widowmaker deals more damage to isolated opponents that have no nearby ally (opponents get a mark/visual when/as-long-as this happens)

[Damage increased = 15%, radius of activation of isolation effect = 4]

Primary Abilities

1
Battle stance
Tactically switch stances between normal and crawl/prowl mode. Crawling reduces physical damage taken by 25% but also reduces movement speed by 25%

[CD = 3 sec on crawl, 1 sec on stand; Mana cost = 0]
2
Venom mine
Place a venom mine that takes a few seconds to arm itself. If there is still an opponent nearby after it arms it will explode and will deal some poison area DoT, additionally opponents standing in the cloud of poison will slightly have their damage reduced

[CD = 10, DoT = 25+5%/level per sec. for 5 sec, Damage reduction = 15%, lifetime duration = 18 seconds, mana cost = 60]
3
Grapling Hook
WM can use Grapling hook in order to move/close-up on a terrain faster, or if cast on a building (or a wall) then can use higher ground for increased range of attacks advantage (in case of latter press E again to climb down)

[CD = 20 seconds, Range increase = 100%, manacost = 75]

Heroic Abilities

1
Tether rope
Launch 2 hooks to tie a movable tether in order to use as your tactical advantage. Movement temporarily becomes limited only on the rope itself (press R again to cancel) but while attached on the tether you get significant movement and attack speed bonuses

[CD = 70, Duration = 7 seconds, AS/MS bonus = 50%, Mana Cost = 90]
2
Infrasight
After 1.5 seconds of channel WM shows all opponents on minimap and nearby allies gain 25% increased damage for 4 seconds

[CD = 60, Mana cost = 75]

I like the idea of Widowmaker being a new hero, but I doubt she'll ever come to HotS as such. We've already a cool Widowmaker skin for Nova. I do wish they improve the skin so that it feels less like a fancy cosplay though. :P
