Black Widow is the worst character in the game, officially:

There's no positive way for Black Widow mains to spin this web: Across all platforms, all modes, and all Competitive ranks, Black Widow is in a terrible place. In Competitive, she's the only hero with a pick rate of less than a percent (0.47% on consoles, 0.89% on PC). She's only marginally more popular in Rivals' low-stakes Quickplay mode (1.71% on consoles, 2.76% on PC).

One could chalk up Black Widow's unpopularity to a high skill ceiling—her slow-firing sniper rifle is unforgiving when you're not landing every headshot you take—except that even Black Widow mains who reach the rank of Celestial or above (they do exist, apparently) are only winning 43.03% of the time, the third-worst win rate of the skill bracket behind Squirrel Girl and Moon Knight.

If you want to paint Black Widow in the worst light imaginable, look no further than her console competitive win rate: Just 37.54%, the worst by a 5% margin. That means if there's a console Black Widow on your comp team, there's a nearly two-thirds chance it won't end well.

Man I really don't know why they don't reduce the cooldown on that thing by at least 5 seconds, a 10 second cool down on that move is enough time to at least fight someone and be able to try and fight someone else shortly after if they engage in melee range.

They also nerfed the slow on her ult. The melee sticks are worthless too. Hero just probably needs a slight redesign. Maybe every 4 shots she fires a slow inducing bullet or something. At the moment she just kind of sucks.

I assume one needs an active PSN sub to partake? I let my premium account lapse over the holidays and haven't felt compelled to tag in
