Never underestimate a Winston. His large health pool and shield, and his high fire-rate make him a dangerous foe. He counters Genji effectively, as he can follow Genji quite easily and his weapon is not a projectile or hitscan, so he can't deflect it. This Overwatch Tracer Hot Wheels Character Sculpt Car is the perfect addition to any Overwatch collection. This 1:64-scale vehicle has realistic details. Winston is an awkward yet gentle giant, never wanting to inflict unnecessary harm on innocents and often stuttering whenever someone compliments him. He is a huge fan of Overwatch and really cares about its members to the point of calling them family in the Are You With Us? cinematic teaser. He also seems to have a love for peanut butter and bananas, as shown in the Recall animated short, his Voice Lines and Emotes. Baby Winston Printed Hoodies "Did Somebody Say Peanut Butter?!?!?"

A super-intelligent, genetically engineered gorilla, Winston is a brilliant scientist and a champion for humanity's potential. Six years in the past, Winston participated in a mission with Tracer, Genji , and Mercy , to apprehend Maximilien in Havana, Cuba. Although Primal Rage grants Winston a large amount of health, do not overextend with him. A Bastion that is damage buffed can easily shred Winston. If possible, try to wait until Winston is below 50% HP before using Primal Rage, as it completely restores his health. Winston's barrier projector extends a bubble-shaped field that absorbs damage until it's destroyed. Allies protected by the barrier can return fire from within it.

Although powerful, Winston's giant health pool comes at a small disadvantage: because it is difficult to kill him, sometimes players shooting at him may not be trying to prevent him from reaching an area, but rather to charge up their Ultimate Abilities, causing this to be a huge disadvantage for Winston and his teammates in a later time.On May 9th, 2017, a user named Chum posted a meme featuring Winston from the videogame series Overwatch to Amino, [1] alongside a caption that contained a misspelling of his name, reading "winton does a reminder to done science, not drug." The post received eight likes in over five years and is the earliest known mention of the misspelled name (seen below).

Winston was initially a subject in the tests on genetically enhanced gorillas that took place in Lucheng Interstellar's Horizon Lunar Colony. He had shown unusually rapid development, so Dr. Harold Winston, from whom Winston got his name, took personal care of him. Through him, Winston learned science and helped in the doctor's research. The scientist also instills in the gorilla's mind a sense of freedom and adventure, to question the world waiting for him. The doctor also gave Winston his signature glasses. Winston's pose "The Thinker" is the same as that of the bronze sculpture " Le Penseur" by Auguste Rodin, originally part of a larger commission, The Gates of Hell. The Thinker represents intellect and poetry, which to some degree reflects the personality of Winston. It was treated as an individual work after completion of The Gates of Hell. The misspelling and the plushie also made an appearance in several TikTok videos after the October release of Overwatch 2, with TikToker [6] @spiderdum posting a gameplay video on November 7th, 2022, and gathering over 800,000 plays and 120,000 likes in a month (seen below, left). On November 16th, TikToker [7] @yawnymays posted a video of someone saying "Winton" as they played Overwatch together, gathering over 1 million plays and 200,000 likes in two weeks (seen below, right). @spiderdum Winton #fyp #foryou #winton #winston #overwatch #overwatch2 #sigma #whatisthatmelody #GenshinImpact32 ♬ WHAT IS THAT MELODY – 💙🪐Lucy🪐💙 Winston is very similar to Marvel Comics character Hank McCoy aka Beast, an animalistic person with great intellect.
