Really, I think the only buff he needs is a slightly faster charge to his ult.

>If lucio is healing enemy you are fucked because of 1 dps
You're basically complaining that you can't 1 v 2 as a tank.
>>
You're a fucking idiot.

Double Winston on KOTH is the competitive meta. Overall being the 3rd most used character by "pros."

He destroys Snipers and Genji.

Lucio does not deal more damage unless he's headshotting every shot.
>>
>>339183478
personally I think buffing his shield would be better.
Also does his shield block enemy heals? because it should.

winston is great at dealing with annoying characters like genji and tracer, also good at dealing with snipers

if anything lucio needs a buff cant kill a thing maybe make his push back move have less cooldown, or more health

Winston is even better than Junkrat at taking out Symmetra nests

He's very good at disruption and getting behind enemy lines to deal with key threats like Snipers or teleporters.
>>
>>339184631
I think his projectiles need to just travel faster. They feel slow as fuck and you need to lead so much just to hit someone moving at range.
>>
Winston was never made to deal straight damage, he's more or less for crowd control.

Your job as Winston is not to go in and wreck shit, but rather, to go in and make the enemy team scatter. The tesla gun and his ult really help with this.

If you want a tank that who's job it is to go in and wreck shit, play Roadhog or D.Va.

something because it sucks to die, cant push for shit I go in and get my ass handed to me so I just run past them, but maybe thats the point
>>
>>339185551
Lucio isn't supposed to push or run in, what are you doing
>>
I've started to use him, but I'm not sure if I'm playing him right. I've been playing him somewhat like Tracer, where you jump behind everyone and focus on supports and snipers instead of people with higher hp. His ult seems like complete garbage though. 1k hp is nice, but borderline useless with zero damage. Roadhog can knockback more effectively with his ult, and it can actually kill people.
>>
Winston has netted me so many wins

>all you have to do is stick to people and the tesla gun auto aims at them

It's literally broken
>>
>>339185687
well he cant heal for shit so... I like to go in and being in there spawn coming out every so often and messing things up, then leave just as fast as I came

Why does his shield have a literal 15 second cooldown when Rein's shield blocks more damage and regens much, much faster?
>>
>>339185324
Once you're level 100 you start gaining prestige levels that accumulate much faster. Basically that's when you start getting all the shit.

But if you don't wanna wait, buy a box. No one cares.

>>339185989
I think you need to pick a different character.
>>
>>339185989
Lucio's heal is great. It's slow, but the idea is to be mobile and stick with your team. You heal everyone for fuck's sake, and you can use the healing boost.
>>
>>339185984
His ult isn't to get kills, its to distract/fuck up the enemy team's coordination/cause chaos, leading to your allies killing them or taking the objective. It also instantly heals him to full so i like to use it when I'm at 100~ hp.
>>
>>339184345

Problem with that is his shield isn't meant to be a team shield like Rein's but a personal/small skirmish shield.
>>
>>339185989
Lucio has the best healing ability, though.
>>
>>339186365
But once the timer ends, don't you go back down to the 100 health?

When I played the beta the maps seemed both pointlessly large and small. Due to the respawn times and just the way the matches seemed to play out, all of the fighting would be taking place in one small-ish area. If you died and the rest of your team was still solid, you'd run through a big empty boring space to get back to the fight. If you died and your team got rolled, the other team pushes the front line to a new chokepoint and everyone fights there. Large areas of the map went basically unused.

Does that still happen?

>>339182471

I used to think Winston sucked but then someone told me that he's actually played a lot in competitive play so I gave him another shot and realized how to utilize his mobility and advantages.

He's absolutely fucking broken

His attack goes through Reinhardt's shield making him super annoying to deal with. He can completely annihilate squshies like Mercy, Hanzo, Genji, out of mech Dva, etc.

His leap deals damage, lots of people forget this and don't use it properly. You have to land near the enemy, immediately start attacking, only drop your E if you think you need it, get a kill and leap out.

The real magic is that his attack hits any number of targets, so you build your ulti charge really really fast. Your ulti is fucking annoying and wastes people's time. In closed small areas it also gets you free kills.

Also don't forget that when your ult expires, it refreshes your leap cooldown, so you can basically leap twice in quick succession.

The only thing that's really scary for you is McCree and Reaper, so just stay away from them unless they're distracted

You'll have more fun and more knowledge about the game if you play more Heroes than just one, you'll also be more useful to the team by making more ideal hero combinations. That and perhaps someone wants to play your "main" but you're denying them each game you're with them.

>not having a main
Look shitter, this is basic fucking math.

If you are going to play all 21 heroes equally, you are going to be fucking shit at all of them when compared to people who put all of their time into only a few of them.

Just fucking go the math. Imagine you have 1000 hours into the game. If you don't have a main, it means around 50 hours per class which is fucking nothing.

Now compare that to someone who mains 4 heroes for example, he's going to be way fucking better than you since he had four times the practice you have.

And now compare that to someone who main only one hero, having almost 1000 fucking hours. He's going to fucking crash you no matter what hero you choose since you are shit at all of them.

Ask any competitive tf2 player with thousands of hours on record, he's going to have a main.

Kill yourself.

>>339197045
Mei is the most balanced hero in the game and most heroes shouldn't actually die to her.

No one said anything about playing all heroes equally. You are objectively less useful, less knowledgeable and therefore less skilful at the game if all you do is focus on one hero who might not be ideal in certain combinations and might not be useful in certain maps/modes, compared to other heroes.

>Ask any competitive tf2 player with thousands of hours on record, he's going to have a main.

>>339198061

Genji should get beaten by Mei.
Bastion wins with turret/tank, loses otherwise.
Torb depends on turret/ult, but his gun is strong and he probably won't die in one freeze>headshot with armour.
Reinhardt has to hope she doesn't block his charge.
Winston's shield stops the freeze beam going through so he can at least do some decent damage before leaping away.
Zarya's shield blocks being frozen, so no Mei should want to follow one that can aim.
Supports are supports, they deserve to die if they get close.

And anyway, if you're fighting Mei 1v1 you're playing the game wrong.

People try to play winston like Rein and think the character sucks. Winston should be played like Tracer, where he turns into an obnoxious rape ape that can enter or escape a fight immediately. I love playing as Winston because he is at his best when you are trying to be as annoying as possible.

Why is he in the tank category if he literally cannot do that?
>>
>>339201763
Why is symmetra in the support category? They aren't absolute rules, they are guidelines, and winston is still closer to a tank than anything else.
>>
>>339201861
>Why is a character that can give shields and teleport people to the frontline in the support category?

Meanwhile, there is nothing except maybe his ultimate in Winston's kit that's tanky at all. The bubble shield is pitiful and breaks within seconds.
>>
>>339182471
Winston's only problem is that just like most of the characters in the game, he's labeled wrong
Play him offensively
Jump behind enemy lines, use your shield to separate a squishy from their team & obliterate them
He's an ape, jump the fuck all over the app like one
On payload he's God. Just constantly put your shield up in front of the payload to keep it moving
>>
>>339201763
why is roadhog in tank category if he's an assassin?

why is mccree on offense when he's better as a defensive character?

why can widow/hanzo/mei/junkrat all be played just as good as offense?

character roles literally mean shit in an fps
>>
>>339182471
Winston is an off tank. the 2 true tanks are Zarya and Reinhardt. D.va and Winston fuck up the back line with ease. He's real good on KoTH maps with support too
>>
>>339202006
What about his health you incredible faggot

D.Va, Winston, and Roadhog are all odd tanks, only Zarya and Rein fit the typical role.

>>339202260
Health in Overwatch is hardly tanky due to the sheer amounts of raw damage the characters put out. Even Reinhardt dies relatively quickly if he isn't hiding behind his shield.

A couple guys on my discord are going competitive on this game now with some kind of sponsor. They play in these circle jerk inhouses you mentioned against the c9, LG teams etc. All they did to get into them though was sign up for free to enter online tournaments and actually did well in them.

why are there even cards for certain things if you're the only hero that can do them?

like a card for hook accuracy as Roadhog if you're the only one in the game? what's the point?

>>339204952
>in actual tournaments
What, you mean the ones that they did pre-release where a majority of snipers were caught blatantly hacking? What a great example for your argument.
Not that you are wrong, winston is an asshole sometimes and lucio is just straight up OP at times but I'm sick of people spouting this "b-but muh competitive players" bullshit like any of that actually matters.
>>
>>339182471
Why doesn't his weapon bounce around nside his shield?

>>339206827
there are four people who get a card and you have other stats to get cards for
if you don't have good hook stats you're not going to get the card

So how exactly does Symetras teleporter work? When i throw it down there's a number next to it, is that how many people can go through it before it is destroyed? Or is it something else?

Playing Reinhardt is amazing. Having your team behind you, backing you while you protect them with your shield just feels great.

It's just a shame so many people seem to completely ignore my shield. It's really annoying to look back and see fucking nobody standing behind you.

>>339206827
It's just "You did good". The vast majority of them are character specific. Damage Blocked with D. Va is different from Damage Blocked with Reinhardt in how they're graded, as is healing for the different healing types.

>>
>>339183341

>>339185237
even better you can drop a shield between you and mercy and the rest of the team to create separation, forcing them to run after you and easing pressure on your teammates
>>
>>339207349
it's just that characters that can use it the best are better off doing other things. reaper can go into a mosh pit and phase out, 76 is better at doing hit and runs. and bastion can't move in his turret form.
>>
>>339185984
also his ult is literally a gamewinner during overtime or contested points. you can swat the enemy team like a mile away

Winston's shield should work as a cage.
The enemy shouldn't be allowed to leave the shield when it's up and they should not be allowed into it when it's up.
>>
>>339207721
Yeah, I get that they shouldn't be glued to me, but the shield is there for a reason. It's so they can stand behind it and fire without having to worry about being shot at from the front. I'd just like them to actually take advantage of that, ya' know?
