One of my favorite minigames in a match is doing something like a fake out shield raise as Rein knowing Doom is gonna try to punch me out of it, so I immediately drop it and sidestep the punch. Similar thing with Ball, pretending not to notice the tank behind you while shooting in crab mode and then you roll to the side at the last minute
Every time I do this, I go “olé!” to myself lol, I feel like Rein/Doom/Mauga players sometimes try harder to hit me when I do this and I’ll dodge them several times in a match and it just has to be obnoxious but I can’t help myself

Classic firestrike v firestrike experience
I do this a ton on support. On Bap especially I love waiting till the last second to jump over their charge or hook

I have actually baited out and blocked enemy Rein ults as Brig before. I flash my shield and do mindgames just like if I was playing Rein myself, and then the moment he goes for the shatter I Rally and block it with my big shield. Kind of the same energy, I think
I like doing this sort of thing as Reaper. It was more fun when he was still a tank-buster, though, but I make do.
I end up playing this game with Dooms on Lucio or Juno, since they are always diving the supports and you can rarely get help against them. Boop them aside or double jump their punch. My favorite is crouching in the open as Bap when you hear a Bastion ult, they just see a free target from above and forget who you are playing so they pop all three shots on you wasting them when you just jump away.
yeah I’m really good at dodging rein charges and hog hooks on DVa
not so great for my teammates standing right behind me lol
