Junkrat and McCree do a fine job of it at mid range SR.
Character is an absolute monster if he has a DPS to follow up the damage. If not he's just okay at jumping in and causing problems for awhile.
Let's do some math:
Winston jump + melee = 80 damage
Genji swift strike = 50 damage
jump in + swift strike = 130 instant damage
Any extra damage assures whatever got hit is dead. You can do this with a lot of heroes, Genji is just the most obvious one.
Other than the murder potential, just drop shield and dance in and out of it while looking for cleave. The shield is weak but if you play around it you have plenty of time to get jump off CD before your dead. If you don't you did a really bad jump(literally landed on a Reaper and Soldier or some shit) or played around your shield spacing terribly.

Haven't you heard? There's an extremely high skill requirement for regrouping. /s
Staggered respawn isn't much of a problem on Competitive, though. In QP, regrouping is some ancient, mythic technique that has been lost to the passage of time.
I agree with most of this.
Winston's dive is still better than D.Va's in a lot of ways. You don't see a lot of Winston at top level because he really doesn't play well into tanks that are dive resistant w+ Soldier + RH, but I assure you the character is far from weak.
People underestimate the terror of Winston hitting you in a coordinated team. He wasn't a monster in S1 just because of 50% discord

Oh hey, had a good game, let's try this group up feature.
Next game someone in the group afks.
Fuck me.

I got a couple of them in one game. That mode is the first good Mei-related thing to ever happen to Overwatch.Just got all the new Achievements on the first day

The thing about the group feature is that you as a group of randos who decided to stick together is likely to be pitted against a 6-man premade that's used to playing together (unless it only matches you with other PUGs but I doubt that). The one time I used it we got kinda steamrolled the next match.
That's why I hesitate to use it. Unless I feel that we really coordinated with each other and/or we steamroll the other team so convincingly that it leaves little doubt then I'm not going to group up just because my team won the match.

New Sym, man. Was playing Mystery Heroes with a couple of my friends last night. I was Mercy, and we had 2 Symmetras and a Torbjorn on our team at the last point of King's Row defense. Both Syms got shield generators up, and I had an armor pack too. I was a Mercy with 425 health. Most of our team had +225 life. Turrets everywhere, Sym's long beam of death doing work. Good fucking luck, guys. We won handily.

Did not work for my group. They intentionally killed themselves and didn't change at all. I accidentally kileld myself as Pharah and stayed as Pharah.
Def during a match.
Yea, can't kill yourself to switch during a match. Kinda genius. Guess Blizzard knew people would try that.

Thing is that match ended up super close too despite us being 1 down.
Ah well, had an up and down night, but it was fun seeing what this new meta will bring. I think sym could potentially be super problematic. We need more damage, not more sustain.
I can kinda see her taking the lucio role, especially on defense where speed is not as essential. Shield is basically kinda like heal song. Has somewhat different mechanics but it's basically an aura heal. And her turrets actually are a counter to speedsong. Winston might become more popular.
Sure, but all you're doing is wasting time getting back to enemy team to do that. I would just use whoeverr I get.
Are you guys playing the Mystery Gift mode in Arcade or something else?

Yesterday a Pharah killed herself during the prep phase and respawned as Rein so it's definitely possible. Just RNG.
Not sure if it was with you or after you went off but yesterday on Hanamura defence we got like 5 support with like 3 mercy's so I jumped off. Then the rest of the team followed. Wonder what the enemy team were thinking.
Yeah the winter brawl in Hanumura and Kings Row.
Yeah it was funny. Like all the supports suicided leaving us with no supports so we lost the match.
Oh wait, the one I'm talking about was on attack. It was probably when I left.
I remember we had 5 supports and me as Genji on Kings Row defence lol
more RNG!

Seen the same thing with a Junkrat too.
Definitely possible to kill yourself to switch character, even before the game kicks off.
Dunno why you'd want to though.

I've had a decent haul in winter boxes so far.
- Peppermint Sombra
- Nutcracker Zenyatta
- Wasteland Ana
- Holiday Reaper
and a few highlight intros and emotes. Still waiting on yeti winston....
Not having any friends outside of my brother who plays this game really makes it a drag. If anyone else is in the same boat or wants to group throw me a friend request. PSN same as username.

First mystery brawl, I didn't know what it was all about. Everyone picked Zenyatta... I was excited for a goofy team of all Zens. But then we got the random picks. Oh well. I actually like this mode, it's more fun for me to try heroes I don't really use here instead of 1v1 duel which I hate.

There are a few things though. Sometimes you just get fucked on your jump and there is something you can't really deal with right in your face (i.e. Soldier with med station), or the Genji has to retreat for x reason/pursues a different target you can't really catch up to. That happens sometimes. But in those cases, it's essential that you have your front line push into the enemy as hard as they can when you dive so pressure is alleviated. This is why Winston requires a coordinated team to work.
Also of note is that to run Winston nowadays, you need an Ana on your team due to the incoming damage. It is hard for any hero to sustain a dive without her, really.
Turning into a snowman easily makes up for it and makes it in my unbiased opinion, the best skin of all time.

I decided to not play competitive anymore. can't find any fun in it.
I guess i am just not good enough and even if i were, many things about competitive in this game are not done right or need to be changed and improved.
Wasn't really playing S1 and S2 too, only few matches. Thought that i will be playing S3 but it's not worth it, can't find any fun playing it and that's it. Most of the time it's frustrating so i am giving up.
Edit: Generally speaking i feel like this game is turning into loot boxes grinding for me. And it's taking too much of my time.

Tfw as Zarya when you walk up to a D.Va explosion and body block it at point blank range with your personal barrier to save the squishies behind you. So satisfying.
(Pity you only get 40% energy for it now...)
Her Frosted skin may be the first seasonal skin I've bothered to buy. I normally roll with Classic but I quite like the new one.

Eh well I don't think the snowman makes up for how lackluster the actual skin is on the legendary tier. Still I like the skin in of itself and will wear it, but I definitely wouldn't have paid currency for it even if it was the regular legendary price.
It's definitely a cool addition but the skin itself is lazy
Has anyone got advice for solo queue in comp (on console)? I've lost four straight games and played well in nearly all of them. I see some people saying solo queue is legit but I seem ot keep getting randos who either panic switch after a death or switch from a healer to another class. At least on pc you can type and chat, in most games, I'm the only one with a mic.
Sounds peachy. If what you say is true about Symmetra's shield stacking, I'm dreading the thought of a team of Symmetra's beefing up D.Va.
i gave up. unless they allow trophy hunting in Arcade, fuck the rest.
