Actually, I was knocked off to my death by Pharah's knockback missile, I just botched the midair-jump to rescue myself. That's why I was griping about how Ultimate Winston should be immune to knockback

Ult Winston is a walking knockback, something has to be able to slow him down.

Generally, it's balanced by doing shit for damage, both in ult and regularly.
I'm pretty sure that's how you spend 99% of all games. [emoji14]
If you buy it right now, then you can get in on it while everyone's crazy about it.
I'm getting a lot better with D. Va. Even with a shitty team, I've been able to help stall things out in hopes that they'll arrive and die quickly.
Gas and I played Don't Starve for a solid month, just no one ever wanted to play with us. :'(
To be fair Winston's Ult isn't about damage anyway, it's about having more health than anyone else so you can knock them around and hopefully off a cliff.
Personally I prefer to Roadhog Ult if I want to push people off ledges.
Also, Overwatch is up to 10m players, apparently.

Yeah, he's amazing at breaking a defense. Suffers a bit in things like pushing or solo fights, but if you need to completely wreck a blockade he's your primate.

I mostly use Winston as a harasser to try to knock the other team off their focus, by leaping around into their backfield, zapping who I can (which as often as not doesn't kill anybody), dropping a barrier when they start to shoot at me, and hopefully by then the 5 second cooldown has elapsed on my jump so that I can leap away. Then ALSO hopefully, my team has started advancing and shooting them in the back, which also doesn't happen as often as not
But there has been the odd match where we were completely bottled up in our spawn (like the first Volskaya chokepoint with the truck and whatnot), and I managed to jump over/around their defenses to go get on the capture point, which leads them to run back to it, and let the rest of the team out.
But more and more often, my most effective attack character continues to be good ol' vanilla Soldier 76.
I wish I had thought to put up the entirety of that defense match in egypt where we went 5 S76's and one Symmetra (because Dei hates fun). That thing was an amazing stompfest, the other team couldn't get beyond the first chokepoint either.

*because Dei would not have been able to shoot anyone unless she was using her ult*
Though, I do think it would not have worked as well without my turrets and teleporter. [emoji14]

He originally drew the sprite facing the other way, and just mirrored it for this animation, I bet.
76 is also right handed, not left.
@GasBandit the weekly brawl was made for you.
I got two in the same game last week, which was pretty awesome. Roadhog's Cute spray and McCree's Pixel spray.

I get purple shit for characters I never play, like Hanzo.
Because Gasbandit can't aim properly enough to jump through an opening 10 ft wide, let alone aim accurately enough to snipe with a weapon that requires you to lead your target.
Remember, his favorite character has an ultimate that doesn't require you to aim
And you play someone that shoots AE rockets and you still haven't managed to kill 4 people while in the air. :xBecause Gasbandit can't aim properly enough to jump through an opening 10 ft wide, let alone aim accurately enough to snipe with a weapon that requires you to lead your target.

Or even complete it, apparently.
Strange games today.
Fought against six Torbjorns.
Fought on a team of six Tracers.
Fought against six Symmetras, which would've been easy except everyone else on my team was Hanzo ... on a payload map. I was the only one trying for the payload. You can imagine how that went.
Other games, it felt like I had half a team. Where were the other three? No clue. Special mention to the incompetent Symmetra who placed the teleporter outside the base entrance, meaning you'd teleport all of three feet. Woo.
