Rein players, please learn how to block a DVA bomb

So as a former rein main its incredibly depressing and frustrating to see rein players notice a dva bomb, put their shield up, and then move it towards a position that allows the entire team to get wiped, this happened in two of my games an im fearful that this isnt an isolated issue, new rein players really need to know the basics otherwise you will get flamed by people like me for not doing the most basic jobs imaginable.

It’s true. But even without Rein’s shields, you shouldn’t be so exposed that you can’t make a run for covers within 4 full seconds.

the matches I were in were places with no available cover within the time of the fight

then you didn’t position right 4 head

Like, ignoring your tone, what is the right thing to do? Would love to know!

kek when your in the middle of a fight on a 2cp map with dva bomb coming your way you expect your rein to provide additional cover while looking for actual cover, its not rocket science

in the chaos of a fight a rein has to manage many things
stop complaining

same can be said for D.VA players please use defense matrix to block other players ults instead of using booster to run away

oh wow I totally dont know the responsibilities of rein, lol im not gonna coddle people doing mistakes that cost people a fight especially considering rein is one of my most played heroes for the last 3 years, so I know what im talking about

The right thing is to stay alert of of the dva bomb and recall mech since that is just as lethal, like its really easy to avoid these things 3 times over. there is no right way of doing these things its just using your nogin

didn’t ask for your life story mate

A good team will hard focus Reinhardt when the DVa bomb is about to explode.
If you are counting on Reinhardt to always protect you that’s not going to happen.

The other problem is that you feel entitled to flame the Reinhardt like it’s something normal. It’s not. Even if the Reinhardt misplays you should not be flaming.

congratulations your input is as useful as a reaper against a pharah

can say the exact same about your whole post

9 times out of 10 its dps and support who aren’t watching for the angle of the tank nor are they even tracking the bomb lol

the 1 is the rein charging in like a madman lol

cool.

nah i dont actually flame the reins no matter how much I want to

a thing I’ve noticed when playing d.va, is that if even the smallest inch of the bomb is behind the shield, everyone dies, I remember getting multiple 4k d.va bombs in one match because of this.

oof thats unfortunate
