Mana cost: 70
Cooldown: 7 seconds.

Launches Widowmaker's grappling hook. This hook has different functions depending on how it's being used:

- If used on a item: It will pull said item to Widowmaker. This works on any item that can be interacted with. Examples: Health Globes, Raven Tributes, Warheads, Durblons.

- If used on a hostile Hero, minion, mercenary or mercenary boss: The hook will deal damage to the unit and will pull Widowmaker toward them. While mid-pull, Widowmaker can now choose to re-activate the hook to launch herself over the unit her hook came in contact with, she will then leap over the hooked unit and land on the other side. The distance she leaps pends on the distance she was at when using the hook in the first place - making longer hook range usage better for this function.

- If used on bare ground: Widowmaker will pull herself to the selected location. This can be used to jump over terrain.

Mana cost: 60.

Secondary Abilities

1

During this stealth: Her Venom mine will not be seen by enemies when cast and she will not lose stealth for casting Venom mine or if it triggers on anything hostile.

The stealth will only break if Widowmaker starts attacking, uses an ability or interacts with something - Damage taken will not break this stealth. Even if a area wide ability like Thrall's Sundering hits her: she will just be knocked and stunned, the stealth will not drop.

Widowmaker can not activate this ultimate if she has taken damage within the last 3 seconds.

While in this stealth: Widowmaker is completely stelthead and can not be seen by any means.

Widowmaker can cancel the ability by pressing R a second time.

Other skins:

I don't really fancy her "Odette / Odile" skins from Overwatch but it would be cool if we could see 3 different variants of this skin as a possible purchase skin:

A World of Warcraft Hunter themed skin is also something that would be cool - a Marksmanship Hunter esc Sniper type skin.

Unfortunately, Blizzard has decided that Widowmaker as a Hero is impossible and settled for making her a terrible Skin for Nova... :(

I'd love to see that, I am still on the side which are 100% for that Widow becomes a stad-alone hero. The skin just sold her short.

I kinda know this and because of that I wanted to make this concept. I feel as if Blizzard has WASTED a hero with much potential. Many look at Widow and immediately benches her underneath the "Shes a Sniper just like Nova" box but to that I say NO. I want Widowmaker in the game, heck I'd be cool if Blizz announced Widow and said that "and anyone whom bought the Nova Widow skin before (Insert date here) will get Widow for free as we are removing the skin from Nova. I'd be fine with that - just give me my Widowmaker as a HotS hero >.<

I was thinking of it but then I feared she'd bee to much like Sylvanas. I had more in mind of maybe a simple "Human Hunter" ish skin as well - any elf would make her resemble Tyrande or Sylvanas. And I know that peoples jimmies gets rustled when heroes have skins that resembles another hero too much.
