Her placement so low on our list might prove divisive to her vocal fans, but Widowmaker is by far one of the trickiest characters to get to grips with, owing to a steep learning curve that comes with her sniping ability. Sure, less-experienced players can use her rifle's automatic mode or ignore the scoped charge time, but where's the fun in that?

Sniping can be a great joy with Widowmaker, though waiting for the sniper shot to charge naturally leaves you open to being effortlessly flanked. Of all the characters in the game, she might be the most challenging to master, as she'll prove more frustrating than fun to many newbies, and requires a strong defensive team to be truly effective.
