Instead of being a gorilla, Winston and the other test subjects were intended to be the first humans to live in space, and were genetically modified to handle interstellar side effects.
Human Winston’s appearance is based off his dad, Harold, and given some Asian features to reflect Lucheng Interstellar – the Chinese space company which oversaw the Horizon Lunar Colony.
Rather than thrash his arms during Primal Rage, Winston just starts smacking the enemy team with his Tesla Cannon.
