They just randomly nerf winston? what the dev team look at?

Im so curious what even the dev team looks at when deciding these balance changes. How do they come up with he worst possible changes every patch its impressive, all completely random too

ikr, it’s absurd. “Dva is dominating the game!”

“Let’s nerf Winston”

And then give Dva a slap on the wrist.

Wild.

Stats like pick rate, win rate, un-mirrored win rate, map specific win rate, deaths per 10, elims per 10, final blows per 10, damage mitigation per 10, number of swaps per match, etc etc etc.

But they don’t look at it from a wood tier perspective which is probably why you are confused.

Winston is literally still a problem and needs a much harder nerf

2wk into release Winston had 37% of top 500 rankings. He’s been buffed continually. For the easiest tank to play, he gets the strongest value out of any of the dive tanks.

It should be Ball/Doomfist, then Dva, then winston in order of who’s the best dive DPS. Most people can pick up and play winston. Hardly anyone can pick up doomfist and ball and play them well. Let alone through counters. WInston is very easy to play through counters most of the itme.

They are looking to buff tanks survivability and gave them better armor - Winston ignores armor. Hes one of the top used tanks right now and needed some looking into, the issue is he’s not the only one that needed the look. Dva still kept her increased missile damage while most the divable roster got health decreases, and Ram has broken armor numbers making him more tanky than he should be.

armor is so good to the point where even reaper isnt countering him.

his TTK was too low for how unstoppable he is unless he MASSIVLEY messes up.

frankly Dva is worse rn but he could even use another nerf
