Rein Speed Build

General Discussion
1

Just needs a nerf.

There are like 3 counters to this build, and none of them work if they have a Kiriko. Rein gets to run for free through your entire team, getting faster, dealing damage, AND healing himself all at the same time. Pair a Juno or Lucio with that, and we’re talking about Reinhardt lobby admins doing whatever they want while your team plays respawn simulator.

There are plenty of irritating builds to go against in Stadium but this is exactly why Rein is still number one. And, no, nerfing his cash intake does not nerf this, thanks.

I think Juno is the real offender

Those torpedoes hurt far too much for how many she gets to shoot

Juno has one viable build. It’s good, but no where near the insanity of Rein, JQ, Soldier, or even Lucio.

Yeah it’s easily the most annoying thing in stadium to the point where if I was serious about climbing the only thing I would run on tank would be this build and Orisa double javelin

Even cass is annoying me more than the Juno missiles at this point

Rein has made stadium boring af for me. I have no interest in the mode anymore. Everyone plays rein and if you don’t have a rein, you lose. The game got 2 dimensional REAL quick.

It’s the thing that, if it’s not killing you, it’s softening you up and forcing you out of favorable positions

Cass absolutely deletes people with fan the hammer. Even tanks. Even tanks stacking defense powers and items.

It’s pretty crazy.

Sure. Meanwhile other builds just kill you.

No lock on time. No travel time. Just boom, you’re dead.

Even Mei is rolling around, invincible, doing damage, pushing people out of position, and there’s exactly nothing you can do to stop her.

I just played a match as DVa against a Rein who had Lucio and Kiriko as his supports.

Rein had speed boost all the time, Lucio and Kiriko would cycle CD and Rein would buy items to keep it up. I felt hopeless cause they played close together, almost like a Death Ball, so there was nothing I could do to stop them. No target to Dive, and it wasn’t needed since they were coming towards you, W+M1 fearlessly, no way to stop melee attacks and no way to burst them to death before their barrier and CDs were back up.

I remembered the Hazard’s release. Everyone plays as Hazard and the team without Hazard usually loses

Same with Juno release. And Mauga. And now Freja.

This is what they want with every hero release going forward.

But honestly, Blizzard always releases new heroes at so overpowered state…
I guess, the only one hero who still A tier after usual nerfs is the Juno. But in the other hand, I think, her design is sooo broken. That’s why she have never seen even B tier after many nerfs. And also most of supports were oppressed by Juno
