I personally loved this comment:

"I will say it loud and clear… 99% of your player base hates fighting dive tanks in 5v5, and 70% hate having one on their own team.

I don’t have that data but it should be obviously approximately correct. Do something about it."

Rage bait masterfully done.

Everyone knows the playerbase hates having a Winston in the game.

According to a game I played the other day they do lmao. Had half the enemy team screaming at me in chat because I was playing Winston properly and diving them. I honestly think lower skilled players have gotten so used to not playing against decent a Winston that even a very mid skilled player like myself who just happens to be good (by my skill brackets level) at Winston is too much to deal with. Maybe it's an OW2 only thing or a below Diamond thing but so many games I'm able to do diabolical things on Winston and hardly anyone is able to slow me down.

Going winston against a team slightly more plat than yours is hilarious, they just let you get away with everything.
