Rein doesn’t need a CC immunity buff

[DrFate-11148]

This is blatantly false. Brigitte can literally shield bash rein out of his shield, giving the rest of her team opportunity to combo cc him down and clean up the rest of his team. Orisa still has her barrier up in that time, which has also cut off the back line healers from the enemies front line.

Ppl act like getting stunned is the actual worse thing in the world. Sure if ur like zen or soldier yea getting brig stun is death. But as rein? You ain’t gonna die, and it don’t last very long. Orisa doesn’t stand up to brig, she just takes it, rein takes it and dishes it out, better then Orisa

I mean you would think running Orisa would be a popular strat agaisnt brig if it was good, but oh wait, rein is the go to

This is the exact same thing.

No, rein is actively pushing in with his bunker, while Orisa is setting up bunkers closer and closer to the space given. One is more effective then the other in terms of claiming space

Hint hint it’s rein

Depending the meta. For a long time rein was barley existent beyond low elo. It can also be said, every hero can give front line pressure. It’s practically the default.

Agreed that it’s meta dependent. And rn it’s in Reins favour

as oppose to just shooting her from a distance and breaking her shield, which practically leaves her useless?

What brig lets her shield die. Mine has yet to die in a comp match

Also should be noted with the scenario with rein, he’s still just the equivalent of a mobile barrier, that the enemy can bring down at any time.

2000 hp and he doesn’t have to keep it up constantly

[Cerburus437-1424]

they can play any strats they want.

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

[Fireball-1614]

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.

[One-22893]

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.

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.

[Sikko-11245]

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.

@Sikko-11245

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

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

@Sikko-11245

Orisa and Dva Lower Knockback based attacks whilst shooting, Rein is a Melee based hero and hasn’t got the luxury.

Maybe because this is a bug?

@TomPowers

Orisa and DVA aren’t intended to have reduced knockbacks from abilities. This is currently on our list to fix.

[DrFate-11148]

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

[Aster-2434]

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

[VoldsomVolvo-2245]

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.

[THEOVERLORD-2725]

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

[DrFate-11148]

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.

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

[VoldsomVolvo-2245]

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.

[DrFate-11148]

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

[tepeketepe-2342]

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

[VoldsomVolvo-2245]

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

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

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:

But as rein? You ain’t gonna die, and it don’t last very long.

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

[DrFate-11148]

Anything can happen

Can Isn’t worth discussing

[VoldsomVolvo-2245]

then why have you been discussing it?

[DrFate-11148]

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

[VoldsomVolvo-2245]

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.
