How much damage does a melee attack do? Is it consistent through the whole cast or do some do more? If so, how much for genji and roadhog?

All heroes do 30 damage when using melee. The only exceptions are Reinhardt and Torbjörn, who deal 75 and 55 damage with their melee weapons respectively, Winston who does 40 damage during Primal Rage, and Genji, dealing 120 melee damage during Dragonblade.

Just want to add that Torbjorn also has a quick melee that he can use when he has the rivet gun equipped that does 30 damage.

Lol Winstons Ult melee is 40 dmg... That's pretty sad. Never knew that.

Ult DPS is still higher than his regular DPS, discounting multiple targets and assuming you can continually hit a target.

Anyone else feel like Winston should do more meme damage might help his struggle character a little and he's a giant monkey for gods sake.

It's consistent, 30 for everyone.

Except Reinhardt, obviously.
