Winston guide (not spell corrected)

Hello guys! I am ackis and i am here to guide you all through playing winston!
! ! ! ! !
To begin with, Winston is a very versatile character with very low skill floor but a extremely high skill ceiling, aka easy to play but hard to master.
Winston is currently really good because dive comp is making a comeback, which means, alot of squishies. and winston is actually really good against
triple tank meta in my opinion because ana is the key to 3 t ank meta, and as winston you go in and take her out and the 3 tanks are much easier to kill with your team!

! ! ! ! !
so waht is your jopb as winston? Your job  as winston is too create space and chaos so your own team can push in.
You are also supposed to take out the enemy support heroes to disable the enemy teams healing, even if you dont kill them you made the ana turn around and
she no longer has focus on her team mates which could enable your team to take them out.
You should also be the one capping objectives such as king of the hill, etc. but not so much payload in my personal opinion since you should be at the
front line creating space and killing stuff.
! ! ! ! ! !
Now what is not your job?
You are not a rainhardt, you are not supposed to be protecting your team from heavy fire.
and the most obvious one, you are extremely weak against shotgun heroes such as reaper, roadhog, and torbjörns right click.
! ! ! ! !
Doing damage and kiling things !!!!

As for winstons damage, it's low at 50 damage per second. But you can use it in combo with your
jump pack to deal 50 dmg on impact and your melee aswell, you jump up in the sky, and as you are about to hit your target you are going to melee and in return
do 80 dmg to a target, and after that you can taser them. So if you can combine all these things and get the melee jump thing into your muscle memory winston can be extremely
dangerous (as show n on the screen) as he can take out a 200 hp target within 2.25 seconds, if you land all the combos of course that is!

! ! ! ! !
the barrier projector.

Now to talk about winstons barrier projector, its a weak reinhardt shield designed to protect you and not your team.
Its basically a personal shield that enables you too draw enemy fire to you without you being killed within 1 second, see it as a life extender. You can bubble dance to even 1v1
reapers, i will go more in depth about this later!
Since winstons barrier projector itself is p retty weak (whisper: blizz pls buff)
if you happen to get a zarya on your team, just let her know a little bit before you dive in since that barrier will guarantee the zarya 40 charge and you will be able to be in their
backline for even longer which is good!

! ! ! ! !
Ult usage!

Winstons ult is often regarded as a weak ult or useless one, but in the hands of a good winston, its a devastating ult!
It can be used to disrupt enemy positioning, to knock people off the map and even corner people and just whack them with your massive
gorilla fists! awesome right?
So to properly utilize this is too not pop it at max hp but at lets say 150hp, because when you do that you heal up to your standard hp which is 600
then gain another 400 hp which makes winston theroetically have 1600hp, when you use your ultimate aswell it disables your barrier so keep that in mind.
your standard jump and primal rage jump are on 2 different cooldowns so you can use jump immediately after primal rage ends!

! ! ! ! !
communication.

If you are planning to play winston, knowing where your healers are and your zarya (if you have one) is super important, since you dont want to dive a enemy backline when your ana is
not in line of sight. Being vocal on voice chat is also extremely good so you can communicate with your team when you push in so they know that you are going to be disrupting the
enemy team.

! ! ! ! !
Jump pack!

You are one of the most mobile characters in the entire game,! So utilizing your jump is gonna be one of the key
factors seperating a bad winston from a good one. For example, a good winston knows that you should never dive the enemy team 1v6 but  a bad one might just jump in drop barrier and
flop then die. When you are jumping the enemy team you always have to make sure you are going to make it for 6 seconds back there so you can jump out again.
After playing winston for a while you wont even think about the cooldown, it will be muscle memory. When ulting as winston, i see some people just spamming shift jumping around
everywhere not hitting anything, if you want that extra jump damage you can always do the short jump trick, this is performed by holding your backwards movement button while jumping
as you can see on the screen.

! ! ! ! !

Now as for bubble dancing, this is more of a extra tip, bubble dancing is basically putting down your barrier and dancing in and out of it to avoid the enemy fire,
by doing this you can even 1v1 reapers, but it all depends if the enemy reaper is good or bad, but usually people will pick reaper when you are doing a good job and they usually
dont know how to play him.

! ! ! ! !
Counters

Winston has alot, and when i say alot i mean alot of counters. Following characters counter winston = Reaper, Torbjörn, Bastion, Roadhog, and now after nerf dva is not as big
threat as before but she is still hard to 1v1 so id look out for dvas.

! ! ! ! !

This was a very basic guide on how to play winston since winston is all about decision making and game awareness. This was more aimed at the people that want to start learning him
but im sure some of you winston players might also find some tips here. Thank you guys so much for watching, i'm ackis and im out!

Now how to properly utilize it is to never pop it at full hp unless you need to get to the point real quick, by jumping then popping it mid air and jumping again, but generally.
never use it at full hp, dive the backline then try to go to <200 hp and pop it and just create chaos back there so your team can push in.
