Imagine playing winston

Trying to dive widow/hanzo and they just escape and kill a squishy on his team. Then you feel bad that you didn’t do your job correctly and then realize that you don’t actually counter snipers.

Pretty sure “just dive them” is a meme now, like “just stay away from brig” was with brig 1.0 lul.

Brutal Truth :disappointed_relieved:

It feels the same way as Brig trying to counter flankers now, except if you didn’t have the huge mobility or HP pool Winston has

Best you can do is just try to waste their time as creatively as possible (shrug)

Winston isn’t a counter for either widow or hanzo, sick of hearing this.

You dive widow she grapple away to safety, you dive Hanzo he shreds you to bits.

Problem isn’t winston is bad. It’s that Hanzo and Widow are completely and utterly gamebreakingly overpowered. At this point I wouldn’t mind them nerfed into oblivion.

It’d be a hard to swallow pill if we had to stop brutal truths

Winston is a main tank.
You need a support tank to assist your dives.

Stop diving alone when your kit isn’t designed to attack said characters alone…and go in with Dva.

I don’t get it.

The brutal truth which is hard to swallow incoming

The solution is to bring back Brig 1.0 and give her a jetpack. She’ll take care of those snipers for you.

Yes the winston will with his telepathic abilities make the second tank pick Dva.

Winston was designed to counter widow all by herself and he still can’t with her easy asf grapple.

We should also make her thicc.
Make her so thicc that she covers the entire map, that’ll solve those pesky snipers!

It’s always the Widow/Hanzo mains who tell you to “just dive them lul” because they’ve never played a dive Tank in their life.

You shouldn’t need the entire team to change comp to counter one hero.

Nerf these disgusting heroes to oblivion.

Tbh unless you want a hard counter

How do you make Winston counter someone all by himself and give the other hero any chance at counterplay

Stop speaking my mind lol, it’s annoying :stuck_out_tongue:

But I absolutely agree with that, one hero shouldn’t be that game-changing that the entire team must alter the comp for that ONE HERO. When, off the top of my head, Bastion and Brig were back in the day, they got nerfed.
Any rank Plat + (and even some high Gold games) has the “ridiculously good Widow” issue. The game has been out for years, and in the higher ranks these people have had ages to practice their favourite little husband-killer.
So you’re a little bit screwed, unless you have a better Widow…but that never happens lol.

At this point, I really don’t care. Just make him insta kill them or something. Call me dumb or anything but I’m sick of those two characters, doom too. I haven’t touched comp in like a month because games are literally decided by the better sniper.
