o yeah so winston's my least played hero because the few matches i played him it didn't go very well but i decided to play him again yesterday and did really well it and one of my teammates was saying how much of a good job i did
and the next game i played him again and i just barely blocked a deadeye that would've killed a few of us with the barrier and the mccree got mad at me in the chat lmao

so yeah playin more of him now

yesterday ster purposely tanked his placement matches on his alt account and ranked bronze, streamed competitive all day and was in diamond by the end

the whole point was to prove "ELO hell" doesn't exist and it's just people blaming their inability to rank up on other people rather than a lack of skill, but people are just accusing him of hacking or being in a secret group instead of changing their tune lmao

ELO hell exists when there isn't a huge skill gap between teammates, but someone is better by a bit than their teammates. If this guy was in Master, it's obvious his skill gap between him and his teammates is so large that there isn't ELO hell.

You were probably being too aggressive with him at first. Winston is strictly an ambush tank that should only go against low-dps squishies when he's not putting down shields over the cart.

Winston is a good back line harasser, and I also found him useful for controlling the high ground (on watchpoint gibraltar) past the first attack checkpoint (where you go into the hangar with the ship in the top middle) because I also had sufficient healing. Also you can reach people on the ground, from the bridge part so its harder for them to hit you

[Nymph]

Btw is anyone watching the Overwatch Open? I heard the game between NRG and Liquid was really good

[Poliwhirl]

the only instance that winston should be used aggressively is when you have his ult. you can smack a whole team away from the point if you aren't discorded and then hooked by a roadhog while a bastion is shooting you or some stuff

not true
winston can be use aggressively on defense if the enemy team pushes too far and you have supports
if supports are exposed you can also go aggressive there
if you have a leap ready you can save it when you jump down from high ground then use it afterwards
harassing a mercy when she dies and when she gets out of spawn is the best thing you can do as a winston since her ult is the most value a team will have when they push
since she keeps dying she wont be able to be of much value

but as long as you can get a confirmed kill trade with a high value support such as mercy or lucio it is definitely worth it because theyll be left without a support, while your team probably still have their supports AND a tank (ie reinhardt)

Anyone else kinda bored out of their mind with this game?  I made a post bitching about the false Sombra hype and about the somewhat lack of content in this game on the OW forums and got over 600+ thumbs up on the post.  I really like this game, but I think the devs could do a better job of adding actual depth to the game and buffing and nerfing things correctly.
