Rein is disgustingly OP

Zarya should have less charge but more a quicker bubble cool down. That might even out badly but I hope there’s a day where Zarya can be played as a main tank. She’s either ridiculously OP or ridiculously weak. That might mean removing the charge from Rein or Brig with their shield up. Tbh I never understood why that was a thing, seemed extremely one sided.

People is playing Rein + Zarya on quickplay cuz they are using that as pre-ranked mode.

On quickplay the Meta is similar to Competitive meta. This is the reason for i want 1/3/2 on quickplay so we avoid using same metas as competitive.

Rein is garbage on 1/3/2 specially on teams everyone is spreaded. Also he is hot garbage on classic quickplay for the same reasons

Ummmm no. Orisa gets a 40% damage reduction and 100% CC reduction. Rein has a 50% CC reduction.

I’m tired of seeing these “Rein is broken” threads. Just because someone is the best in a role doesn’t always automatically make them broken. He’s only as good as he is because the other barrier Tanks are awful.

I pretty much only play quick play. That’s nauseating

Well if they release 1/3/2 without ajust Reaper, Right click mccree, Mei and stuns. That will be a hell for tanks without mobility. People get salty insane fast and sadly start use 3 counters vs your solo tank.

Solo tanking sucks. That’d explain it.

he’s not

Orisa: check
Sigma: check
Dva: check
Reinhardt: coming soon

They would never dumpster Reinhardt

Yes. Rein is disgustingly OP and takes no skill.

Happy?

I’m tired of plats making threads after threads on how they can’t win against a Rein. Or how he’s mandatory.

Meanwhile I can win on Hog Zarya in Eichenwalde against double shields.

Guess what OP plays in qp and comp?
Mei Sombra Sigma Hammond Moira Baptiste

Don’t want to be that guy buy I guess they were some of the most balanced heroes in the history of the game.

The lack of flavor in this post I could never

I know what you’re saying, but those heroes were ACTUALLY broken. Let’s take the Tanks for example. The only reason Rein is now “broken” is because the truly broken Tanks were nerfed to the point they weren’t even viable. And SOMEONE had to take their spot as the best hero. Even if they were balanced. And unfortunately that’s Rein. Now everyone that thinks “OP = Meta” are whining about it. Just because someone is meta, doesn’t mean they’re broken.

If Rein will get a nerf, who’s next?
My bets are on Wrecking Ball… His CC is just too good :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :hamster:

Sarcasm lol.

I was one of the few who actually said make other tanks viable alongside Rein (Orisa/Winston etc.) The devs released Sigma that wasn’t best for the game.

What most of these people making posts will never do or did in the past before Rein got his steadfast:

Playing Rein into Doom, Lucio, Mei. Most engaging and fun experience ever right?
Other tanks have some sort of escape/counter ability against Doom for example. Rein had nothing and you’d play pinball. But yes. Tanks don’t deserve anything to have fun because all of them are low skilled according to posts like this.

It’s hard, but this is what Rein needs:

stuns. use em.

his charge has jank, but it works both for and against him. also, show the clip of someone getting pinned out of reins fov or it didn’t happen.

being better than two overly nerfed/gutted characters isn’t hard or an accomplishment.

speed. use it. stuns. use em.

Rein dva is played more for a reason lmao.

bad characters are bad. woah.

Cause blizzard is smart enough to realize that the other tanks are far too weak over rein being too strong. his buffs didn’t suddenly push him into the meta, it took gutting sigma/orisa a LOT for him to become meta.

Whenever someone calls a character skilless, they should prove it. I hit t500 with a “no skill” character during bloody dive meta, you should be able to do it during this meta where he’s SOOOO broken.

uwat
you literally shoot them
and they just dangle there

and most heroes who shoot can move faster than rein or have vertical mobility to completely avoid his hammer entirely

you’ll still move slower than other heroes, and?

good
we saw where he was when this wasn’t the case

yet he can still be normally hard CC’d

o.h.n.o.
the tank can tank for his allies

again, he’s in melee range only with no verticality at all, it’s the only thing keeping him from being pushed into worthlessness with how much damage is in the game

like the entire cast?

everyone wants to complain about “b-bu-bu-bu-but the other team has it, too” when arguing balance… until it’s about lucio, i guess

like the entire cast

like the entire cast

i don’t even understand this rant

you’re upset over… team-play?
in a team-based game?

so you want him to be reduced to not having synergies?

yes, power creep is very real, and very tricky, but getting so mad at something to remove the only thing they have going for them (again, a melee hero, in a shooter) is a horrible alternative

we need more synergies in the game
not less

it’s a team-based game, not a solo 1v1dueling360noscopefiteme game

if you “tune down” something that already has huge counters, you get a flailing mess of a useless hero that we already saw in rein’s previous state that ended up being basically a joke who got tossed around like a puppy chewtoy by an aggressive huge adult dog

what do you even “tune down” if not his passive?

his health?
do you realize what zenyatta’s existence already does to him?

his barrier?
which already gets melted?

his damage?
which, again, is melee, and is one of the easiest things to counter in a shooting game with huge mobility tools?

his charge???

i suppose i could agree to an ult nerf somehow, but even then, that doesn’t sound like it’d stop any of the complaints you seemed to have brought up

i just don’t think this is a rein-specific issue

more like a lack of alternatives issue, from the absolute dumpstering of kits like dva/orisa/sigma and outdated synergy like from winston with dive due to d.va being dumpstered, or from what hammond got from the dps roster when hammond was ran with like, what, 4 dps? but then 222 killed that balance yet never shifted hammond’s effectiveness to work around 222 enough

Did you see what I was replying to? I wasn’t replying to your original post.

Once again, a forum user calls a dominant pick “no skill.”

I would not say that Reinhardt is OP, but it’s more that all other tanks have been NERFED so much that Rein looks good by comparison.
