After his unnecessary pointless nerf no compensation buffs? he does basically 0 damage now

If anything the cooldown needs increased. He and other dive tanks are way too strong.

If anything they will nerf his jump CD because he is too hard to punish in the short time he is around before he can jump again. I guess they will wait and see how their armour changes affect him, but if there is little change I could see them adding 1s to the CD.

Hate how everyone now thinks that every Nerf needs A compensation buff

Do the math and get back to me about how much less dps it actually is. Mercy moira heals basically cancel it out.

Moiraā€™s self-heal is so insane now winston canā€™t even 1v1 her.
a TANK canā€™t 1v1 that god forsaken character

lol her selfheal was nerfed

good winstons burst her down

Increase CD by 1 sec

As much as I agree with most of your intakes, I for one have to disagree- mobility (cooldowns) should be thee last thing that needs to be adjusted. I rather the devs look into something else if needed rather than touch heroā€™s mobility.

Well we wouldnā€™t want support to be able to effectively save our teammates now would we.

Perhaps - Iā€™m definitely open to other ways to address issues. My main issue with dive tanks is that it often feels like the mobility cooldowns are too low, and very often the cooldown management allows them to get a free ā€œoutā€ from their engagement. In the case of Winston, for example, he can leap in, place a bubble and barrier dance it for 5 seconds, then leap back out. It makes him absurdly good at diving solo targets. And if he plops the barrier down between you and the healers, itā€™s super easy value.

Now, granted, I understand a real game is not always this simple. But I guess just in general I think dive tanks are too strong at the moment and given their huge armored health pools, they get too much value for too little effort.

Winston is still the best tank in the game right now. Heā€™s got the highest pick rate in top 500, even higher than DVa. And thatā€™s post nerf.

Iā€™m sorry you canā€™t get value on one of the best tanks in the game. It must be so hard for you to play Winston after he dropped from S tier to A+ tier. :violin:

Heā€™s genuinely still S tier unless they shadow buffed Mauga or Hog which they didnā€™t

He has no real counters left in the dps or support role

If you think Winston takes skill despite not needing to aim, then how about not buffing him in a way that makes him more easy and forgiving to play.

16

Theres not way you aint trolling us.

They are trying to increase tank survivability and buff armor across the board, monkey ignores armor - oh wait!

Good Winstons canā€™t physically burst her down, thatā€™s not how the hero works, it doesnā€™t matter if you are bronze or someone the pro, you do a set amount of dmg that basically gets out healed by her primary fire

You genuinely have to be the most delusional person on this forum, either that or you just want people to not hate on dva as much even though you know itā€™s not true

Even if this is true in whatever leaderboard you are looking at, definitely not my one, because mine is dva by miles. maybe itā€™s because heā€™s fun
