Community News Does this mean r/WinstonMains is back?

54 Upvotes

Hi everyone. WinstonMains is public again after nearly 4 weeks. I believe the old sub owner got hacked which lead to the sub being hijacked by bots.

Reddit has allocated moderator to a handful of members so hopefully from here on, things will be back to normal.

I'm an active mod over in r/WreckingBallMains and r/doomfistmains so I'll be sure to keep that up over here too for y'all 🫶

the picture says it all, this season Winston was one of the highest win rates and low ban rate across all tier. Dive isn't too bad this season with all the seasonal and previous changes.

Mind you, I'm not a winton main, I just find him fun and I like playing him.

This was a game that I wanted to share. Notice my healing and moira's healing. How THE HECK do I have more HEALING as TANK than a SUPPORT ???? >:/

Sombra was asking her for help with heals just cause she couldn't keep up with all of it by herself, then she started healing a lil bit 🙄

Winton healing bubble perk for da win 🗣️💯

The code is from the Opera GX collab. I already have the skin, so one of you can have the code.

Discussion What am I doing wrong on Esperanca?

2 Upvotes

Hello, folks! I am currently back on the grind in comp and for last couple of days got stuck in D1. I'm reviewing my replays and it seems like I perform exceptionally bad on this map. I can't really pinpoint particular issue, but fighting in the middle is tricky and I choke a lot. I am leaving couple of replay codes but I'll highlight first one, as I lost without even dying there and I'm quite confused about it. Here are replays:

Discussion What’s the fastest you’ve been counter-swapped?

I play a ton of Winston and even if I’m not doing great I instantly see a Reaper Hog swap or similar. What do you guys do about this?

Discussion How do you guys keep track of people when you’re in primal

6 Upvotes

I’ve been using this character for not a whole lot since i cant play often, but i do wanna know how other winston’s keep track of other/s when you’re in primal or juggling someone in primal.

In addition i’d also like for anyone to review my gameplay and tell me how or what i’m doing wrong (if i am).

Meme/Fluff i began making this ages ago when it was still relevant but never finished it and now the meme is pretty much dead so there would be no point in finishing it.

It took so much effort and time because i was using a video editing software from 2011 called shotcut instead of the modern editing app that every tiktoker uses, capcut, where it just does everything for you.

Discussion Doctrine is the easiest support to kill

7 Upvotes

As Winston, no other support hero is as easy for me to kill as Doctrine. I don’t know if it’s because he’s new and people don’t know how to play him, but it seems like his movement just isn’t very good.

Discussion Winton decision & timing feedback

7 Upvotes

Hello fellow Wintons! I keep finding myself dying to similar circumstanced very often, I feel like I'm repeating a similar mistake. It seems to happen when I know I have to touch point soon and I try to do something before that since I know I will explode if the whole team stack on point. Without the power of spectator and using only my POV what should I work on/pay more attention to?

  • Dorado - QH76WV both deaths at 12:40 & 16:00
  • Neon Junction - 0M7P2X point retake and last fight death at 13:00
  • Lastly, this a Kings Row game (01S30D) what should I've done different on first point defense.

These are fights where I think I could've made an impact but made the wrong decisions.

Edit: Please be masters and above.

Is it just me, or are we eating well right now? Every match has a Sombra and Doctrine as supports, and both seem to be great partners for Winston.

...And great prey.

Discussion What is your melee & secondary fire key binds

8 Upvotes

I have melee on RMB and secondary fire on a side mouse button but clicking/holding the side button while aiming keeps missing up my aim and I find myself unable to finish 1hp targets sometimes because of it.

What is everyone's binding that you can always get last second melee's, able to charge and aim secondary fire while having full movement/abilities access.
