They always REFUSE to swap and force you to play around them. Even if you hard pocket them, they hardly contribute anything most of the time if the enemy team has a brain.
I wouldn’t mind that cause doom players are kinda like that but what sets them apart is the WEIRD personality and superiority complex rein players have. “CHAD REIN” “REIN 1V1 IF YOU’RE A MAN” “BLAH BLAH BLAH”
Understandable, I am sorry you feel that way
the only tank i hate playing with is sigma, passive nanny’s most ofthe time with finger hard pressing S.
reins atleast will do something stupid that you can support.
even horse grows a spin and rushes in when its time,
sigmas nope oh that one mtr line to point oh so svcary let me c9
rammatras are as wuss as sigmas when they lose their melee form.

Most of the time I would rather have an aggressive rein than any other tank.
It’s only when they don’t swing their hammer that they are useless

No body says this.
Are you dps or heals ? Heals are not winning the game without their rein in the front lines adding pressure.
Dps is just a prop holder. Rein creates pressure so DPS can press Q. In short he distracts.
There used to be a time in Overwatch where that was the right way to play. Play around your tank. But now, everyone wants to play Call of Duty and try and get kills.
Learn how to play the game, buddy.

I wish I was able to play against your Reinhardt.
Trust me, I sympathize with you more than literally anyone else on this forum ever would. You are so right.
A superiority complex is probably required to play him. It’s the only way anyone would willingly subject themselves to such a troll hero. You would have to be a touch narcissistic because if you even vaguely cared about your teammates, you would pick a real tank.

I main dumbfist.
In my anecdotal experiences, I see opposing reins swap very frequently unless the enemy team is steamrolling.

If they don’t pin into the backline and spam voicelines he’s a top 3 tank in the game
It’s often that high iq high skill tank they swap to that big blob with two guns .

These are bad reins
Reins that have glory through their veins knows they have the responsibility of leading your team to victory, even if it means switching when hard countered.
Playing around your tank or tanks meant it was safe , tanks especially there was these tanks called offtanks that actually peeled.
The other day we had a tank that left in flashpoint, team morale was low i just stood near spawn waiting for next tank backfill
Then she came my long last friend zarya the real zarya main not those dps76 selfish narcissistic zarya picks to counter dva that double bubble themselves or use you for energy, but the real one that used to make rein look good by covering his dumb plays with bubbles.
Absolute tank touched point against a ult knowing she was going to die but trusting it was the best move and hope for team to secure and me and our moira did.
Bubbling fellow dps and supports not for charge but save them when virused or when their tank was looking at them.
She showed care for squishies that had been long forgotten by tanks.
It was like how Harry and Hermione cared for elves and goblins in Harry Potter…
We won so comfortably, i was on hanzo but still felt that rein bond with zarya.
Very few actually playlike this and or rare.
This is why we need to go back to 6v6 oq when everyone played or most played like this for value.

Have you tried replacing them with quality leather reins? I had the same issue but after switching from those cheap nylon ones, my horse control improved drastically. Also, make sure they’re properly conditioned - nobody likes stiff, cracking reins during a competitive match.
Pro tip: If your reins are too long and keep getting tangled, you can always get them adjusted by your local tack shop. Really helped my positioning in teamfights.
And remember - a good rider never blames their reins. Maybe try some dressage classes?

I’ve never seen this in game, and I’m usually the Rein player in these matches. You’d think my presence would encourage egotistical Rein’s to beat me, but it just doesn’t happen.
Also, why in the world shouldn’t people play who they like? Your first issue is “I hate playing with Reins because they want to play Reinhardt, and I don’t want them to play Reinhardt because then I have to play around Reinhardt. He should do what I want instead of what he wants”, and that’s just unreasonable.

That is heresy. Us Reinhardt mains are honorable. Genji and Sombra players are cowards. It is quite obvious where the crown lies.

What other tank you want them to play when rein is the best tank in the game?
You mean OTP Reins ? Yeah well … many OTPs are bad and act like that so thats another reason to play MH. The true OW experience 
PD: And yes, its a great experience because 99% of OTPs hate that mode (for obvious reasons).
