now that Hazard removed the “weird hidden rule” that only Japanese hemps can climb walls on Overwatch… could we give the same limited ledge ability to Winston?
i mean… he’s a monkey😅. and frankly winston has such a simplified / old kit compared to the other new tanks (especially in damage output) that I would see him being very consistent in mobility for this type.
Considering how strong Winston is, I see no reason to add anything.
That would look so goofy and it fits his goofiness so well I’d love to see that XD
In the real natural world, only female gorillas climb, the males are too heavy to.
So if we go with that logic, winston can’t climb.
But he is genetically enhanced 
He’d need nerfs elsewhere though. He can already get to most if not all high grounds with his jumping.
ah, I didn’t know that. very funny anecdote. 
I was probably influenced by Hazard’s King Kong Vibe in this video.
however in reality i would slightly disagree that this would lead to a nerf for Winston: he is still a tank that on an offensive / bruiser level suffers a lot compared to other heroes that, in one way or another, have skills with multiple benefits. hazard for example: all his defensive or repsing skills still have a small addition of damage inflicted on the opponents. a wall climbing for wisnton would only increase the potential of second-hand mobility, which would not be bad for the game that has many tanks that manage both mobility and the search for kills better than him.
His jump is already on basically a 4 second cooldown. With a wall climb added, that’s the thing that would get nerfed because it wouldn’t be mandatory for all movement and relocation.
And if jump pack gets nerfed, then his hp or dmg gets buffed to keep being threatening and more survivable.
It would be a very fine line to balance on, as winston right now is pretty perfectly balanced as he is.
Longer cooldown would make him die too much. More damage makes him kill too quickly, and more hp makes him too slow to kill.
If anything, the only thing they could give winston is a ledge grab. To climb up if his reach falls just short.
But that begs the question, would it simplify playing the hero too much?
Since we wouldn’t need to be so good at judging his jump distances.
Not wrong to be honest.
Winston just became that much more relatable to me. 
I blame StormHorizon’s thread about ice cream.
Hes not a monkey…hes a scientist
…Put vines on every map, yes i said it
He should make “Oouh oouh oouh” monkey noises everytime he climbs a wall, so if you just spam climb it’s just constant “Oouh oouh oouh, oouh oouh oouh, oouh oouh oouh”
Give us a girl gorilla from the lunar colony as a hero then
As a recent Winston enjoyer I would love wall climb.
I would like the “Winston” voice line if he wall climbs. Lol. You just hear a random Winston wall climbing going Winston.
It was never a rule…RIP Tire isn’t japanese and it was always able to climb walls 
(Am I doing this right, thiccbuddha?)
To be honest, I’d like for him to have the wall stick that the Assassin boy had in Archives.
But I would also be open to a new hero having that wall stick ability
That could be fun. There is someone called Hypathia in the lunar lore of ow.
