Rein doesn’t need a CC immunity buff

General Discussion
42

thats true but considering this is their livelihood they’re obviously gonna play the best characters in a real match

43

Ive tanked and my teams like “REEEEE NO SHIELDS WHY” and im like, its not easy when i can’t control how i move my character help me a bit more then you might not have such a bad time.

44

Both Dva and Orisa used to run at full speed while jumping and holding fire, they both got fixed speed even while jumping as this was a workaround to the slow penalty.

45

stunned in teamfight will kill rein a lot of times. i dont know why people keep running 1v1 senarios for these things but a rein the frontline stunned out of his shield can die in a split second. trust me, ive tried it.

and just to clarify, most rein main are asking for him to be heavier when using his shield. not actual cc immunity. leave that to orisa.

People don’t want immunity

They want Resistance.

Stuns last a shorter amount of duration, more crucially knockback distance lessened.

Orisa and Dva Lower Knockback based attacks whilst shooting, Rein is a Melee based hero and hasn’t got the luxury. At this point with the CC Power creep, Holding up the Shield should warrant Some form of protective passive. Hell it doesn’t need to even be active when the shield is down if it means there is protection at any given point in time.

47

But stuns is the counterplay to his barrier.
A knockback reduction would be nice though.

Maybe because this is a bug?

48

In a team setting rein will definitely not die because your team can heal him up especially with Ana running rampant now. And in a team fight rein is way better to pressure brig then Orisa

49

He never gona be fully fixed, that might make him to op.

50

he can die.
i dont think you get how much damage can be thrown at him by a coordinated team. that split second is enough to burn out a rein with or without ana.

Okay and Doomfist needs something to help him mitigate stuns so he can keep doing his job.

52

Ana can save him, add another healer and a secondary tank and boom he’s fine

Again, if it was as bad as you say, why is rein run constantly against brig

53

because he works when he has a brig on his own team…but what does this have to do with brig?
im saying that a stun can kill him when a coordinated team follows up and you are saying it cant. not whether or not brig is OP or not.

54

I just use brig cuz she can stun him easily

A coordinated team can also save the rein with the supports and off tank

Again, if rein was so weak to cc

Maybe he wouldn’t be played as much

55

Huh ? Of course not. Is Blizz thinking about such things ? What is this thread ? :smiley:

56

dude…he is weak to it.
but has you yourself are saying

all im saying is a coordinated team can kill a rein the sec he gets stunned.
im not saying a cordinated team cant save him from it.
it can. by all means but you said outright:

HE CAN DIE
thats all ive been trying to tell you.

57

Anything can happen

Can Isn’t worth discussing

58

then why have you been discussing it?

59

I thought your point was that rein consistently gets stunned and dies

60

my point was that rein is weak to stuns, that a rein that drops his shield unwillingly can die real fast if the enemy team is coordinated enough and that it happens more often then you seemed to acknowledge.

High pick =/= Good spot
High pick =/= Fun to play
High pick =/= Balanced

The above are just a few assumptions that people make. Yes, Rein is picked a lot but that doesn’t mean that everything is ok. Its very frustrating to play against CC and get thrown all over the place. How can you do your job as a main tank if you’re constantly being thrown around like a rag doll?

I’m not sating he should be completely immune to CC, but should have some significant resistance to it.
