Like can you even do anything? Did they turn winston into a 0 damage hitscan? this hero is actually so useless

I am convinced the devs haven’t touched their own game in years, can’t wait for them to come out and say “winston isn’t underperforming”

I love all the support or gold players saying this lol. winston is absolutely not fine, that hero does 0 damage

Winston is reliant heavily on dps, because winston alone is a useless character that does 0 damage especially to brig, I know you’re gold so you wont understand

In t500 there is more teamplay, i’d say winston is not actually fine given that even the t500 players cant solo q winston to GM

Winston is… fine.

What lobby are you in?

Heroes tend to underperform when you are a complete potato on said hero. That’s not a balance issue

I’d say it’s possible to do something as Winston, given that his icon is plastered all over the t500 leaderboards.

I can confirm this. :sob:

Winston’s weak? Somebody needs to tell this to all the Winston’s that have been dominating my lobbies.

Jokes aside, Winton is fine…

Winston is by no means Bad he just suffers from what most tanks suffer from, most the time you’ll only be as good as your team.

The OW2 forums, where everything’s made up and the meaning of words doesn’t matter.

He’s literally been one of the top 3 tank heroes for at least the last 6 months in GM. Clearly he’s doing enough damage if that’s the case given his main competition has been DVa and other high DPS raid bosses during this period.

Nobody cares if Winston is bad in your bot lobbies. They don’t balance around your silver friends’ skill issues

lol in fairness only 2 of those players are high level, but yeah he is fine, if not a bit too strong which can’t be fixed without butchering him because 5v5.

I am a support main on kiri in silver and i agree with you… I can literally 1v1 winton till he drops to 50% health from full, before I need to TP to a teammate… his dmg literally tickles… if winton is already half health then, no issues… he can be taken out by one support in a 1v1.
