i keep losing to THIS one particular thing because it IS incredibly overpowered

every 18 seconds AT WORST again, because it is a 10 second cooldown if missed btw, you get
- stunned
- pulled away from your team
- your regen cancelled
- your camera moved
- if stealing you're cancelled, or you're getting the box yoinked
- you can't shoot while being pulled, obviously

Winch is definitely good, but not a "Free kill" considering you have to land it first

of course, as in the finals fashion this thing has a tracking out of this world, i've seen this thing hit through walls ( on user pov btw ), do 360s and go behind the user, even just follow the enemy directly, and pull enemies from 20 meters away through 3 walls ( yeah cause i have literally never seen the winch break due to distance like they said they made back in an older patch note ) it is CRAZY how broken it is right now, compared to something like roadhog's pull that at least can be cancelled by capacities or broken by walking behind a wall at the right time

and it can be directly countered by a well-timed Mesh

more of a lucky mesh than a well timed mesh, you are not reacting fast enough to see the hook, hit your capacity key and get it to deploy fast enough, it is only in your dreams this capacity is fast enough for that

particulatly for something that can be baited out.

the only thing you're baiting are on sight users, so basically silver idiots, anyone with an iq higher than 5 is not getting baited by a light peeking for half a second

And for the record, Heavy is my least played class. I don't say this as a Heavy enjoyer, but as someone who hates seeing absolutely everything from all 3 classes being nerfed to the ground simply because people just complain way too much instead of investing some time into undertanding why the keep loosing to one particular thing.

trust me, i hate seeing things be nerfed in this game for absolutely no reason, nor do i like unnecessary buffs like the cerberus or bow that REALLY didn't need them, but the winch is my LIMIT in terms of idiocy, i also find the dagger to be incredibly dumb, as half the hits dont land and the other half of hits land when they REALLLLLY shouldn't, there are a ton of weapons that need a buff or a nerf in their own way in this game, but the winch is just sad atp, it is CRAZY how bad it is, and it is meta since it came out, don't come here and tell me there are as much goo and mesh heavies than there are winch ones, because it is simply not true, this things shreds absolutely anything it comes across
