Overwatch has been around for over five years now, with Blizzard having made numerous changes to the game's roster since launch. Besides adding new heroes to Overwatch, Blizzard has also tweaked the game's launch characters, buffing and nerfing them in an attempt to balance the game. While changes have been made to every Overwatch character in some capacity, a fan recently realized that one of the Overwatch heroes has never received any kind of nerf.
Overwatch Tank hero Winston has never received a nerf in any of the updates that have been released for him since the game launched in 2016. On the contrary, Blizzard has only ever really buffed Winston or made neutral changes to the character. This makes sense as Winston is generally considered to be one of the weaker and more difficult characters to play as in the hero-shooter, so it really comes as no surprise that he's never received any nerfs.
While Winston has never been nerfed in Overwatch, there could be a major rework in store for him in the near future. With Overwatch 2, Blizzard is changing the flow of the game dramatically by reducing team sizes from six players to just five, with only one Tank hero allowed per team. This change necessitates that Blizzard change up the currently-available Overwatch Tank heroes, and Winston will certainly be getting some changes.
