LOVE for REIN. Buff idea (with some cookies)

General Discussion
1

First of all here take some :cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie:

Rein Buff:

  • Rein is now able to cancel charge

  • During charge: taken damage is reduced by 20%

  • Charge animation is now 10% faster (only the start)

Intention:

More utility. Rein could use his charge just to knock enemies back without getting in a bad position/ enemy backline. He could also use his charge more precisely to get out of a bad position.

Thoughts?

GREETINGS!

I like these changes.

I’m probably the only one in the world who wants this, but could I get a marginally faster shield deploy animation? It feels like there’s stuff I’m able to react to, but the shield deploys so slowly that I sometimes get hit by whatever projectile I was trying to block anyway.

Charge can be cancelled anyway by ramming yourself into a wall. Also its hard to hit rein while he’s charging.

Thanks for the cookies, and nice thread.

Jelly agrees, Rein needs some help😁

You have both Jellys and Jam approval, if that means anything.

i mean yeah. The purpose is to be able to cancel the charge before you hit a wall and get some more utility with the charge by only knocking people back.

  • his charge needs to be able to steer more easily, like fly around a corner if your pinned in a corner by bastion or a team.
  • his ultimate needs to be able to do more that what it does now, when i use it they get up before i can kill them. maybe 5 more seconds on the ultimate added.
  • his energy shot needs to be able to do real damage since its fired maybe once per round.

If you’re Symmetra, maybe.

If you time it correctly, you can cancel his charge ending animation to jump shield. This reduces the recovery frames from the charge end animation when used, without hitting a wall to stop. A wall stalls you no matter what.
