When you think heroes now can be stupidly unbalanced, this is a good reminder of how stupidly unbalanced they used to be.

I am so glad that they nerfed Reinhardt. He is oppressive and really needed the charge cancel, two Firestrikes, longer shatter, and 100 damage hammer swings to be less effective.

OG Reinhardt is so bad that I finally realized why everyone believes he is broke these days. Itās still a little unfair because I also feel as if they pretend other tanks aināt even existā¦ But I get it now. I truly do.

Us baby Reinhardt wanted wealth gifted to us whereas our fathers had to work to achieve such success.
Btw, I finally got my midair charge on Pharah. And also a max distance one on a Genji who was about to blade.

Personally, people have not been ready for old zen. 150 hp is 149 more than I need with 50% discord orb in a world where the only other healers are slow Lucio and Mercy.
Really has been nostalgic, and such a hilarious way to put into light just how much some characters have been power crept. Love Rein still anyways.

Reinhardt with 1 HP or Reinhardt with over 9000 HP is still Reinhardt. They can never take that away from us.

OWC has reminded me of just how much I absolutely despise lamp, suzu and the infinite mobility options everyone has. Amongst many other things.
Iāve played pretty much nothing but OWC, and the more I play it, the more I dislike what OW2 has done to the game.

He feels so much better to me itās crazy. Charge kills tank busters, Meis, reapers and bastions canāt literally just face tank charge. TANKS DIE when you hit your kill shot on rein. Also, his survivability is less but FEELS better because it being in your shield instead of in your supportās kits gives the control and skill to survive back into the reinās hands.
And also, my absolute FAVORITE part of classic Rein. The ult charge rate. Heās a character that has always been about cycling ultimate and playing around it. The core of his character is better in classic than in live and is also just more fair/fun to play against.
It really is just peak character designā¦

I love him. I am having so much fun that it is ridiculous. I actually went on a 14 game loss streak and that has historically made me baby rage before. This time was different though.
I do not want to oversell it or anything, but experiencing OG Reinhardt and spending this time with him has been relatively life changing. I do believe this is helping my unresolved anger issues. They creep up in the video game, but he is like a comfort animal or something. Itās weird.

I know what you mean man. You arenāt overselling anything. Playing classic is legitimately making me emotional because overwatch has been such a big part of my life, and this is the most fun Iāve had with overwatch in years.

sym 1.0 was extremely bad. you can give 25 shield, 25 is NOTHING in this game, you have to be really really close to use the beam and she gets slowed when placing turrets.
Good reminder about why widowmaker deserves stay nerfed and even get more nerfs

Now just imagine getting dmg boosted on top of that.
Boosted zen used to be a good meme. But deadly on the right zen.

OwC balanced perfectly, for players who can: survive, adapt, overcome.
