Winston is fine. The current META just makes him useless.

I agree with everyone else winston himself is fine its just the meta that doesn’t work for him. Also with everyone being able to get away Winston is a hero that requires you pay attention to what everyone else is doing and deciding to dive based on what they’ve done. Moira faded? dive her when you see her coming out. It pretty much kills her every time. Like wise with Genji and his dash. Once you know enemies have their abilities on cooldown Winston can be very effective.

He’s fine. Please let the scientist be…
This meta just limits his ability to dive.

i think maybe something to slow people down in a radius, like syms turrets do, but maybe not as much damage, if any at all.

New ability primal rage
Cool down: 30 seconds
Winston starts punching people away
Doubles Winstons hp and instantly brings him to full
Leap Cool down increased from 2 to 4
Duration reduced by 2 seconds

New ultimate lightning strike
Winstons Tesla gun now hits in a 360° radius and the range is double the size
Last 20 seconds

Sound good? /s

But for real give me a Winston buff I enjoy playing him Brigitte makes me not so much but still playable because of my low tier self

Appreciate the update on Winston , but there have been tons of Reinhardt buff threads and I don’t believe there has been any response to those? Can you let us know if you are or aren’t considering anything for him? The Rein players would just like to know either way.

If I did miss a reply from you on one of those thread than my apologies.
