@Erupt https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiv...the_sr_system_rewards_onetricks_and_punishes/ I shouldn't have flexed so much in my early seasons. :/
You going to be on tonight. We played pretty well considering I had to play Reinhardt for the Eichenwalde match.
What are the best strategies for playing Winston? Based on my minimal experience playing him and having watched streamers play him, it seems beneficial to jump into the back lines, try to **** up the healers/snipers/other squishes while laying your shield down, then jumping back out for heals since he's kinda squishy for a tank.
Patience with the jump. It is actually really similar to playing Genji or Tracer when it comes to diving. Teams typically have some sort of split occur. Where their flex support is away from the front lines. You mostly just farm for ult until these situations are good. Making sure you have a dps player who can support you somewhat is also good. That is why Genji and Winston work so well together. Because their kits complement each other very well. Tracer works to but Tracer is often capable of harass without much help. If you are playing against a Rein as well be ready to block shatter with the bubble. Edit: Another thing to keep in mind is where your healer is when you are jumping.
I just think it is sad that the majority of the people I have played with can't or won't even try to Rein. Sure there is a lot of responsibility but like most characters in this game. You just need to death ball. If you are playing Rein and not death balling you better be running the Selfless comp. Which is still a pseudo deathball. --- Double Post Merged, May 17, 2017 --- I have invited you a few times. Can you Rein?
She is really good on Sanctum point of Nepal. Like borderline must pick. Kind of like Reaper for University on Oasis.
I feel like her dps is really low. On defense her shield seems like it breaks too fast and you'd be better off with anyone but winston. On offense I've already felt like rein has the better shield and roadhog is better for setup breaking. I only choose orisa because the constant stream of bullets is fun
Her halt ability is insane on Sanctum. Her utility can be fully realized on that point. I have also taken advantage of halt a few times as a tracer with a pulse bomb. Mostly by accident though. @AceOfSpades I was just thinking. We carried that Lijiang game really hard. There were a few fights we were pretty much done if it wasn't for us stalling and me getting a pulse bomb basically every minute. I got my ****ing pulse bomb back in basically 30 seconds once. It blew my mind. --- Double Post Merged, May 17, 2017 --- I miss being a god at hog. I stopped playing him because my controller took a poop. Now I can't do **** as him.
I was Lucio for that one, right? I distinctly remember booping a healing hog off on Garden With Lucio's changes I've been carrying a lot of games. Like Gold healing, obj time, and obj kills while usually squeaking medals in elims and damage. I'm afraid for a future nerf, because he feels reallllllly good right now.
I've found unfortunately that she excels when she has another shield-providing tank with her, especially Rein. That makes it so her 900 health shield simply supplements the Rein shield while it's recharging, rather than trying to rely on it as your teams only shield.
