Winston
Barrier Projector
What do you think? Is this finally a sign that Blizzard actually cares about turning Winston more playable?
As a Winston main, I think it’s something, better than nothing 'cause since the game release Winston never got any kind of buff actually…
Technically he has gotten a buff before. Flashback to near the end of triple tank and Winston’s barrier cooldown started when he placed the barrier as opposed to the original start of when the barrier was destroyed. It may sound small, but this (among other factors) did propel him to be the meta tank for a while.
You’re 3 weeks late.
Is this buff already available? o.0
It will be available tmrw…
I think it helped, but i think it mainly because Roadhog and Ana got the nerf hammer hard at the time (along with Soldier revert) and Dva was left in the spotlight which enabled winston to thrive.
Winston was already plenty playable. But they did buff the right part of him his barrier has always been an odd duck.
Nah, Winston got a super major buff remember? That change to how the shield cooldown works was very very good
Stoked for this buff and the dva buff. I love my dive tanks.
The duration buff is pretty pointless because it never even lasts more than 3 seconds. The extra HP is good though.
He had more than that before (1k dome) and he was still trash tier without a second Winston.
tmrw? i thought it was coming tuesday
Tmrw is Tuesday atleast here in India 
. Day after tomorrow then
Im not too sure about 6 to 9 seconds.
Often I am waiting for my bubble to come back before jumping back in. This longer delay may make him even harder to be effective with.
The bubble health, while nice I don’t think it really matters. Im not often jumping out when it breaks, more when im at low health. I don’t think it’s going to stop Reaper or Mei being pretty powerful against him.
So overall, I don’t see it helping at all.
No but I respect the square flag they have
They made his barrier cooldown start immediately instead of when it’s destroyed. That was ages ago though.
hahaha so thank you 'cause I am from Switzerland 
As a Masters Main Tank player; Winston didn’t need this.
He didn’t need anything.
The armor nerfs were already a buff to him. He’s trash tier in Masters and above, but not because his kit is bad- because Double Shield is literally anti-dive AND anti-sniper.
So there’s nothing for him to dive, AND if he does dive, he’s dead.
Not to say it’s impossible, but it is exceptionally difficult.
Winston didn’t need these buffs.
We’re just making power-creep worse.
His Barrier was perfectly fine as is and the buff won’t really help him to do his job as a dive tank any better.
You don’t want to overstay your welcome anyways and 600 HP 6 second barrier was enough to last you through that time window.
The Armor nerf and the Sledge Hammer nerf to his dive buddy D.Va is what screwed him big time, but Blizzards seems to be stubborn about those two
