Winston is so braindead right now

I actually feel my brain rotting having to go against this hero every single game

Like even though Dva is equally as broken as he is right now, you at least need consistent mechanics to actually earn elims, with clearer cut counterplay

Winston’s whole gameplay loop is ridiculously cheesy and low effort for such high value. I ain’t putting him in season 8 Mauga tier but its damn close

You might want to take this up with the people that claim D.Va is in every single game.

They aren’t totally wrong though. Winston needs to have nerfs in tomorrow’s patch.

yeah he’s really easy to fix he just has too much going for him at the moment. if he’s going to have high damage and an extremely fast charging ult, the survivability should take a big hit (reverting armor changes or replacing a lot of his armor health with white health)

or nerf the ult cost and his damage. ain’t no reason for winston to have 75 dps

i’ve probably made more idk lost count

I think Winston ignoring armour is good. There needs to be an option in the tanks for that.

Reducing the cooldown and or hp on bubble would be my first change. Probably HP.

That being said… If people just activated their brains for 2 seconds and broke the thing, he’d be slightly less problematic.

nah i don’t have a problem with that, it’s his personal survivability and short cooldown cycle. by reverting the armour changes i mean bringing it back to a flat 30% for all weapon types instead of this convoluted mechanic we have currently

but he can keep his true damage i don’t mind it

The best counterplay against him is breaking the barrier asap or dmging through the barrier. Brigitte is also good against him. Wait until he jumps and use the whip shot. It’s extremely frustrating.

But Reddit says that Winston is so hecking wholesome

This :point_up_2:

As a support, watching your entire team both not attempt to break the shield OR move outside of it, is infuriating.

And then you get the good ol’ ‘Where are my heals?!’ shtick.

‘Outside the bubble… and before you ask: No, I’m not going to stand in the bubble with you and let the angy monke eat my face.’

I understand this is situational and sometimes you have to get in the bubble. But it’s like some people set up camp in that bubble, it becomes their enitre world.

Of all the hand holding features added to the game, I wonder how long it’ll be before the just remove shields.

Can you imagine a 1000 HP rein just running into teams. Would be hilarious to play.

This is why Moira is like the only good remaining support against Winston at most any level of play. She’s the only support which can survive Winston’s onslaught through various means and still keep her allies alive. You are pretty much betting on trying to completely nullify Winston’s dives through sheer sustain, but not all teams support that style of play.

I can. It is both scary and hilarious at the same time. :rofl:

Imagine the patch notes: No more shield BUT he can throw his hammer at enemies. And he can charge whenever he wants.

And I just KNOW I’m going to be the dumb-dumb who keeps walking infront of the charges by accident. (It’s my curse, yesterday I got smushed coming out of fade T_T )

Moira definitely has a better degree of survivability in general right now. I tried Brig into Winston yesterday and that was just… womp-womp :trumpet:… such a bad experience.
