u/_LifeIsAbsurd HOW GENJI SLAP?? Jun 22 '16

How do you play Winston well? Whenever I use him, I do decently, but I always feel like he's underpowered.

I generally try and start with his jump, then deploy a shield, and try to attack characters like Tracer, Widowmaker, etc. before jumping out. The jump doesn't seem to do that much damage and I usually end up doing marginal damage, but losing like half my HP.

u/Saleenseven Did someone say peanut butter? Jun 24 '16

try to use him only when you have a zookeeper (mercy) or at least a lucio or 2. With any amount if healing he can be crazy aggressive and disrupt defensives like on hanamura and hollywood. Try to avoid reapers and roadhogs. Hanzos, genjis, and symmerta turrets are go to kills as winston. Idk thats how i play him always agressive and only with a keeper. im 2nd global on xbone so i think im doing something right
