Ehh it's pretty bad without charge. I don't think she needs a buff per se, but a quality of life change would be nice just having the thickness to stay the same regardless of charge. With how finnicky reg can be, lvl0-40 charge is pretty miserable to hit with. I pretty much just stuck to M2-ing the entire time until I have close to 40+ charge.

It would be nice if the beam aimed at the crosshair instead of off to the right somewhere

The best Winston v turret is to bubble it and then run off to cover. Hopefully your local DPS will be coordinated enough or get the hint and waste the thing. Winston is really really not a seek and destroy character, it's more chipping and harassing.

My greatest Winston moment was when I made the other team so angry at me they all chased me off the point and my team capped before they could get back into position.

Are you sure? If you aim close to a wall it shows the decal/burn point as being offset but seems to get better with distance.

You mean "I'M GONNA LAND THIS AMAZING HOOK ON HIGHLY MOBILE TRACER/GENJI/LUCIO... WHY ARE YOU BEHIND ME..." watch them skate away...

I had that happen to me once and it turned out it was due to me moving forward (on a slope or on a cart, stuff like that) while hooking them so they got pulled to where I had been rather than where I was. Now I'm paranoid about it and hold still which has its downsides but not as many as letting a Pharah go flying away behind you largely uninjured.

I'm hoping some goons who played with me from this particular game sees this, but i was in this goon discord pickup game within the last 2 or 3 days:

I was in a pickup game with you guys and we played against this insanely good/coordinated team that absolute destroyed us. Probably the best team i've played against yet. Their tracer had to be, by far, the best tracer i've played against, and he was absolutely wrecking our poo poo (i think someone in our group found out he was ranked like #100 for tracer).

After the 1st map, a couple of you guys pleaded with me to leave the lobby as a group so we wouldn't play them again, and i almost complied, but another goon in our group shouted 'don't you dare quit against this team' and i sheepishly let the group stay in the game expecting to get embarrassed again.

I believe the next map we played was Lijiang Tower (i think), and i suggested doing the double monkey strategy and we actually won! The other team rage quit, and before the tracer guy quit himself, he told us that his teammates were incredibly pissed off for losing to us. Best feeling in the world :) Hats off to the guy that wouldn't let me quit the lobby.

I thought about that a couple times today, and wish someone had recorded that.

Sigh.

Edit: I'm MFister#1576 if that jogs anyone's memories.

I generally like playing against players that are only somewhat better than me, I don't think i get better playing against god tier players that steamroll my team. However, i guess sometimes we do discount trying something different with characters/strategies and i'll try to stick it out a bit more from now on in random PUGS.

I ran into your goon group with another goon group this past weekend. You destroyed is every match, and i think we played 3-4. We asked in chat if you were goons and someone made the stairs joke.

Definitely the best matches (besides the one in a million coming back against an incredibly good team that's much better than you) are the ones that are evenly matched. The only other game that really sticks out in my memory is one where i got 58 eliminations and another goon got 61 eliminations on Nepal. Both teams were evenly matched, stuck on 99% for a long rear end time going back and forth on overtime many many times, and we finally triumphed, but my heart was racing like crazy and my fingers hurt like hell. Good times!

Was that the one we had against a goon/group of goons and I DMd him to let him know how good of a game it was and he was heaping praise all over our Mercy? It was so amiable even with the long-fought win, everyone's numbers were through the roof because it was nonstop fighting on the point. Good times indeed.

E: yeah after looking at your other post I think that's the group, we had really good awareness of enemy ults going on in those games.

I played against a rank 220 mei who would not stop trash talking. My whole team made fun of him for being useless when his team lost. He then said he was afk the whole time, so I told him I reported him for being afk.
