    Because what could be cooler than a superintelligent jetpack gorilla from the Moon?

    Didn't get a chance to play him, but holy hell would he break up our defenses like a damn monster if he had his ultimate up.

    I'm glad that I had a jetpack as Pharah when he went into Primal Rage on the @Blizzcon; he wrecked our team just like that! He's intimidatingly powerful. And intelligent too! Stay away from him!

    It's pretty clear that Dr. McCoy was a strong influence on our simian friend, yes. That is not a bad thing, mind you.

    There's a very Silver Age comic-book feel to him, to the whole game really, mashed up with a sci-fi anime aesthetic. I'm also put in mind of DC characters like Gorilla Grodd and the Champions RPG character Dr. Silverback.

    Oh I agree. It is a great thing.

    I think It'll be my other main with Reinhardt.

    The concept of the Big Furry Kind-hearted character who can go into Primal Berserk and wrecking everything, that takes a big place in my heart.
    But I'll hope for 1-2 more furry guys (like wolfy mutant concept) in the future.

    He's a gorilla and a scientist at the same time. Winston is the man. Er... ape?

    As much as I normally love the "turret" class and have been leaning towards Torbjorn, Winston is just calling to me. I get excited every time I see him in a gamplay video. I have a very strong feeling that he's going to end up being my most played character.
