Reinhardt Counter Pin

It felt like an OverWatch one all you had to do was press the charge button and you’d counter instantly. Now it feels like unless you’ve pressed it about one second before your hit you’re not countering and you’re getting smashed.

I never missed a counterpin even when it was done in close range and OverWatch one but in number two even when I see him coming from a mile away if I don’t press the button way in advance to charge back I get pinned.

Am I doing something wrong or has this mechanic changed a bit?

Check your latency. That specific aspect of charging hasn’t felt different at all on my end. :thinking:

My latency is between 17 and 20 ms. Counter pinned last night just fine. I think it’s been fixed with patches quietly or something. It truly sucked and felt bad.

Huh? How is it so low lmao? I get 30-40 with a wired connection and good internet.

Are you in the server room?

I am even lower then him between 12-20 ms lol, before they bought the crappy Amazon servers and dropped the (google?) what ever they had my ping was 1-5 MS lol.

Low ping actually sets u at a disetvantage if you play vs someone with a high ping and he does what ever first in real time.

For fun if you see a tracer on the enemy popping and going crazy with blink and near instant kill you should clip your realtime game and then compare it to the replay (server interpitation) and u will see how some hero’s really benefit from a higher ping.

No, just have 2GB PS internet, hardwired. 17-20 is average for me.
