Why is there such a difference between Rein and Winston?

I main Winston.

And Reapers are rarely a counter.

It seems counter-intuitive but it almost feels easier to win vs Reaper comps.

Because he’s so easy to kite & render useless.

If Reaper tries to apply his massive firepower to a fight, I demolish his backline while he’s busy up front.

With healers dead, his front line is out-sustained & dead.


If he tries to stay with his backline, his extreme short-range renders him useless…

…when I help overwhelm his frontline.

Or take out isolated DPS.


If they decide to all clump together:

Winston gets massive cleave-damage that’s hard to heal & results in insanely fast Primals that can be used to break the clump.


Winston’s cooldown allows him to be anywhere Reaper isn’t.

No need to 1v1.

Reapers rarely kill my Winston.

I just kite and exploit Reaper’s lack of mobility & extreme short range.

Can’t count how many times I made Reapers swap, as Winston.
