Winston alt fire extremely hard to land

high wind up charge, low damage, hard to hit a target with. tbh never seen a winston using it.

It’s a hitscan shot that is bigger than most projectiles.

It’s not even remotely hard to hit.

but it is, and even if it was easy it would still be a useless alt fire since you can jump on someone every 5 s for more damage. no winstons using alt fire in my games.

Well it’s supposed to be just for pre-fight poke, it’s never meant to be your primary source of damage. Honestly I feel like the reason why you don’t see many Winstons use it is simply because they forget it’s even an ability.

Well I guess that makes one of his primarys hard to land then?

You can do both.

Winston actually has massive burst potential by charging his right click, jumping then shooting the right click, meleeing and landing.

Not only that, it’s virtually free poke damage or a finisher for low health targets who outmaneuver you.

You not seeing people use it means very little because you evidently are playing in low ELO; where nobody is playing their characters effectively.

yeah im a metal rank scrub, but I will try to do that in my games, thanks for that tip dude.

At least he has something that’s hard to land

It’s extremely good for your dives and to use before and mid jump etc so you don’t have to rely on a 2nd diver
It’s not much but it’s definitely something he needed and pretty good combined with his other moves

Winston aim issues, what could be wrong here… Play dps heroes that require actual aim, and learn from that.

Yeah thats why I dont play Sojourn, its just when its on right click I cant hit and having auto fire on right click instead feels weird too. :smiley:

Absolutelly understand.

It’s not that hard to hit, but there’s almost zero reason to use it.

It’s useless. I need some rework to be useful.
