You can do abbreviations , all the obvious ones work , the full list can be gleamed from the sourcecode here in the list of Aliases <| sep |> I am a console player as well and relatively new like you . I did not start playing until the end of season 1 . I spent most of my season 2 in platinum , but towards the end was able to do some serious self reflection and climb to masters . I also mostly played tank and do believe that winston is as situatonal as people say . He was not ever a character I would pick right off the start unless , like you noticed , it fit the team comp perfectly , but I found the most value with him by making early changes to him in maps where I saw he could be strong . When you dont see a roadhog or a reaper , you can pull him out and either win the game , or force the other team to try and counter you . And besides the clear strength he has on genji , on console he is also strong against characters that he wouldnt normally be on pc . Despite being a large target , many console anas will miss their sleep dart if you have good movement . Overall , i think it is in your best interest to master him , then keep him in your back pocket as a utility for situations that will allow you to excel . But no , he is not as generally good as a reinhardt without the right composition around him .
