Very niche change, I don’t know if it necessarily means that he can kill tanks easier but farming ult will literally be 3 times easier.
Its a nonsensical change, that shows the dev team doesnt understand the game…
Firstly, winston is a dive tank, they dont contest other tanks… they cause backline disruption to force the enemy tank to contest them
Second is due how armor works… the damage winston lost to armor mitigation was negligible to begin with…
The alt-fire is only place that benefits (assuming it applies to it)… and even then its like meh
winston change is pretty inconsequential
he doesn’t really want to be zapping tanks to begin with, and the tanks he has issue with generally don’t have armor other than dva, but dva will still dumpster him in almost every interaction

That depends, are you a top 500 player in Asia region or a coordinated esport player? If not, then no.
Doubt it. Biggest issues have been danage just instantly bursting his bubble and his huge hitbox.
Increase damage and more health is just feeding inti this brawl mentality that the devs seem to adore so much. And I hate it.
S8 meta is more likely Doom being the main dive tank than Winston.
Bastion is still here, Doom has block and more movement abilities to get into cover, which make him a better choice than Winston against Bastion.
Reaps finally looking happy, he finally gets some job.
It’s early Christmas 
Hate to burst your bubble but Winston mains like myself are rare.
And I only use him as a secondary tank to ensure damage sticks because certain supports have too much constant healing.
Still though its hard because Bastion and many dps only player Reaper into a Winston.

Are there no wintons 
I will continue to hide from the Emo hero.
For I fear the Reaper.
I can kick your butt! Buuuut, I’m just gonna hide behind this corner. Maybe he’ll go away? Maybe…is he gone yet?!

Technically it will, basically its a 30% dps increase against the armor hp, which is pretty good. But zapping tanks isn’t really what winton wants to do in most cases, so I don’t really think it will help him substantially.
It may even be that the damage buff against the armor on torb/bastion makes more of a difference to getting the kill ever so slightly faster in edge cases where a lamp or burst heal comes in right at the last second. Maybe.
Stats wise, across all games played, it will probably help his winrate a little bit. In practice within the scope of any one game? Not so much.
