Winston is bonkers.
Nothing is more satisying than jumping in at low health and 97% charge, mashing ult the second it comes up to gain 1000 health, and immediately whacking three people off a ledge to their death.
Then getting play of the game.
With practice it's actually really easy to aim your jump at the point that people will land after you whack them, which allows you to just massacre teams during your ult.
But the real advantage of Winston is that, even without the ult, you have great mobility, great survivability, and enemies can't ignore you. Just don't jump on McCree or Bastion.

These guys picking their """mains""" are the worst, every single match they pick the same character and contribute nothing because they're too busy getting their asses kicked, then complain in chat and I'm just like
It's always D.Va too, something about her just makes people refuse to switch no matter how terrible they're doing.
So many maps... so many teams... so many D. Vas doing SHIT ALL.
She's not always a good pick, dammit!
fixed
I think she sucks unless there are two of her.
I humbly accept the correction.
She's 19, so technically, yeah?

She's a disruptor/flanker. If the team's got one tank, it really just can't be her. Hell, if the team only has 2 tanks, they both can't be her; the same weaknesses still exist. The others can all manage solo, even Zarya (though you've got to be damn near prescient with your shield use), but D. Va cannot play solo tank. Evah.
I generally switch to try and cover her, unless I'm the only support, in which case...
shrug.emoji
Nah, people who insist on making the game revolve around counterpicks [which is objectively shit design] are the worst because they fly between 15 characters they don't know how to play and then try to explain to the few people who do know what they are doing that they are in fact doing it wrong.
Nothing worse than a mcree/soldier/reaper crying that their D.Va isnt sitting on the objective facetanking because they know nothing about the character.
mains for life.

I have 5 loot boxes. Here we go...........

I think I played a few games with you.

Don't charge head on. Attack on the margins, etc. etc.
Now what I can't stand as a D.Va player are team-mates who expect me to actually tank.
I hope I wasn't awful!
I honestly don't remember, but I think you were good. I vaguely remember giving you a commendation.
Basically pretend you're tracer in a mech. Also murder any Widowmaker you see, she can't deal with a Hanzo very easily, but Widows are ridiculously easy to kill as D.Va.
Edit: Quoted wrong post but point remains.

Pretty sure the ones most likely to be complaining about a character they know nothing about are the one's who've never touched anyone besides their main for more than 20 minutes.
And the one's "insisting" the game is about changing characters depending on the situation are Blizzard, the people who made the game, so????

When enemies attack the shields you gain damage to your weapon. They have very short a duration so you have to use them wisely.

Can't wait for PotG to finally be improved. In my last match as D Va, I held the control point by killing 2 enemies in the mech, damaging 3 to kill them once my mech was destroyed, then got back in the mech and knocked the incoming healers back.
But the only way I get PotG is when I make mech go boom.

On Control I once helped take down three enemies, the Mercy from the other team revived them so they could continue their push, used my Lucio ult and we wiped their team to win the game.
I was so excited to see my play of the game... it went to Bastion.
Jesus this game is wild - joined my first social game and jumped between a few characters.
I found it fast, furious, fun and very colorful which is great for the length of the match.
Got confused a bit by the character capabilities and found myself standing in the spawn room hitting F1 (on PC) to checkout the capabilities.
Is there some youtube video that explains basics for n00bs like me? I'm a CS: GO player at heart but this looks like a fun blast to try in these dark australian winter evenings.
Also - gotta figure out "push to talk" on my new gaming headset. ha!

If you guys want POTG so badly, then play symmetra on hanamura.

Some clever person early in the other OT called them parries, and I think that's a good way to think of them.
The damage done to them powers you up, but they only last for a tiny window, so best to use as soon as some is about to dive, or to save someone from an ult...
Heh, thanks. I tend to play enough games in one sitting that it can be hard to remember the specifics of each match.
Easy mode for beginners! I enjoyed playing as Hanzo...
If you get hit with 3 fully charged arrows you deserve to die

BOOM BABY!
And it was the last loot box too.
1. Run into a team full of one character
2. Quickly google 'best counter to ____'
3. Win.
4. ???
5. Profit
Erm, he's 100% correct though. 3 arrows is a lot to get hit by. Get in cover. Or heal between arrows. Problem solved.
Oh ok. I figured that was the case when I jumped in front of my team with my barrier up to protect them from a Junkrat ult. I felt so badass lol.

Lmao.
Congrats. Super jealous of that Roadhog skin.
Try doing it with D.Va sometime too
Does the PC version still have a kill feed? Is there a way to turn it on for the PS4 version? It would be insanely useful to know if my team mates behind me suddenly all dropped dead and I'm the last guy on the objective. This happens quite often and I could use the info for me to fall back.

I mean, what else do you want? Pretty sure three fully charged Widowmaker shots'll kill him too? Why you standing there getting shot repeatedly in the head with fully charged shots? Get to cover. Grab a health pack.
