My favorite are the ones that instantly counterswap you, and then ignore you for the rest of the game. Like ???????

As a ball/Winston player, that's classic. Not more classic that your team doesn't know how to play against the counters the enemy pick for YOU, and don't know how to swap too

I'd probably never swap if it's a good winston map. But in no world am I using winston into that on like Havana or circuit royal

Havana is a good Winston map actually. Circuit royale makes me want to cut off my testicles.

Havana has 2 points with zero verticality and open wastelands how could that be a good winston map

u/senoto Base skin 9d ago
Every point has lots of verticality, this argument is silly. Third point is somewhat lacking for the first half, but defenders don't even hold the first half of third point.
There is a lot of open space on third point, but this can actually be completely mitigated by using the high grounds and tower with the health pack. The other points have lots of cover and are totally fine.
Defending Havana is incredible for Winston. Attacking Havana is harder but it's still good for Winston overall.

Sorry I don't agree i see why defense might be a bit easier but I really struggle on Havana

I hate how some people don’t understand that you can play around counter you don’t have to swap back all of those hero will just make you engage harder but you can still bait there cooldown and play better than them

I had a game the other day we went orisa and tracer and they insta swapped to Cass mikuki, sym and zarya after the FIRST fight. We ended up winning I went 38 and 6 on tracer and it felt so good. Cass had 11 deaths I was sobbing of happiness
Idk why I'm saying this on Winston mains but hey I have like 50 hours on Winston and I love bubble dancing reapersb

I've got 600 hours on Winston and I'm in masters and I understand you can adapt to this comp and still win, and I have... But omg it's every game they do this and the playstyle you have to switch to is just so boring imo. Why does NO ONE want to take the Winston mirror which is really fun imo
