Oh, and he also has the best barrier in the game & some mobility on top of his bloated kit.
Is that really balanced? No, it’s not. He’s the perfect tank in every way, the actual definition of OP. The way Blizz keep buffing and favouring him he’s the tank version of Cassidy.
Nah. I think sigs barrier is better tbh. Being able to reposition very frequently/toggle for recharge optionally/shoot at the same time is combining some of the strongest features of rein’s barrier, orisa’s barrier and dva’s matrix.
About your actual point tho, I don’t think his one shots are problematic. Maybe in ow2 when there is far less cc to control rein, and he has better movement during pin attempts it will be annoying. Currently it’s not really an issue and used more for changing position quickly/rollout from spawn.
As for earthshatter… just track his ult and don’t sit in his lap when he has it ?
How about listing a weakness? He has pathetic range and pathetic “mobility” despite what you say, and is actually one of the weakest tanks in higher ranks for this reason. Try playing rein into hog & ball torture.
Wow, I can tell you how to not die to his 2 OHKOs. 1: Don’t stand within earthshatter slam radius. 2: Pin is probably the buggiest and most inconsistent ability in this game. He is also very vulnerable while in a charge. Just… have your team shoot him?
Implying Rein is OP over charge and a gimmick (that honestly, as a tank player, I dislike), is nuts because you ignore all of his many weaknesses.
He IS his barrier. Once his barrier is low or broken, he is a sitting duck. He is a melee character, he has to move TO you to hit you. How are you discussing Rein being broken while ignoring Sigma for some reason?
Yeah ESPECIALLY that buff. I can’t believe it goes through shields, bubbles, and even walls now. It just removed the little counterplay that shatter had.
Woah woah woah, what in the world so you mean? He has the best barrier yeah, but that’s becuase its his whole identity. He does not have the best mobility; are you even thinking about the tanks that can literally fly into and out of the fight?
Also, he has no range. His fire strikes can be dodged by slowly walking to the side. What do you want, him to do less damage?
Eh, if you count Reiner’s charge, you have to count hook, in my opinion. Neither is a one shot by definition, but both are effectively a one shot when you used properly (against squishy targets).
