Some of us Crusaders got together and made this video. Not to be cruel, just as a joke to poke fun… because… well… we are starting to feel like… A BIG ONE TON Armored Joke.
We love you Blizzard, but com’on guys, the Crusaders need your help. If there was ever a time Reinhardt players needed their community, then this is the hour. I know a lot of us are having fun rallying to Briggy… BUT I beg you, Rally to REIN… he is a bloody mess right now and he needs our help.
Also I’ll be creating a Reinhardt Mega Thread Monday Morning, it will be well constructed with all the bugs, and all the issues concerning Reinhardt.
EDIT: My Mega Thread is delayed, I’m still communicating with several Reinhardt players and collecting footage for a complete and well constructed thread. I’m hoping to having soon™ but I want to make sure it’s done right.
I personally don’t play a lot of Rein, but as someone that enjoys Zarya a lot, it pains me to see him being so neglected. Season 2 and 3 was the most fun i’ve ever had with this game, and since then it only went downwards. Really wish we could have both main tanks (Not counting Winston) on the same level again.
Now, while I don’t play a lot of Reinhardt in OW. I still love everything else about him, not to mention, in another realm distant from that of OW, I’m very proficient with another charming hammer wielder.
So seeing a fellow hammer boi suffer like this hurts, not as much as they do, but still hurts.
As the guy who thought up the concept of Judge Reinhardt, I hereby request Blizzard to fix Rein-times bugs by order of the court.
Quite a few of those in the video aren’t bugs (or at least not Rein bugs).
One of those earthshatters was done on top of an enemy player, and it not snapping 2m downwards to the floor is expected. That one shouldn’t be changed.
Earthshatter is mechanically made out of a few wide, discrete projectiles (regardless of the visuals), and sometimes not hitting people standing by edges is a natural consequence of that design. Obviously it needs a rework, but it’s not a bug.
The pulsebomb thing happens to all barriers, not just Rein’s. That’s a pulsebomb bug.
At this point, I feel kinda bad for bullying Rein’s with flashbang for so long. At least McCree had to dedicate the one good ability to dropping Rein’s shield for a second, the rest of the roster… not so much…
So that’s why I keep getting killed by Tracer’s pulse bomb.
I keep learning about new Rein bugs every day, it stopped being surprising a long time ago.
In fairness, it’s Rein’s fault if he gets flashbanged. It’s very easy to block by flicking the shield up (it’s a projctile with a travel time, and the shield responds more or less instantly). The McCree also has to put himself out of position.
What about the times where the shield doesn’t want to move vertically?
Happens every game to me, I have to put it down and up again to regain vertical control.
Not sure what causes it, I’ll play around with it today.
What I was trying to say is that, I’ve always seen you as sort of a pure soul, unyielding towards those who oppose justice, so seeing you fatigued about this sort of matter only makes me think that a powerful being of despair is involved, such as one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, Pestilence to be exact.
Basically, I’m saying that you being this fatigued/irritable is a very, very bad sign. Like seeing one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
In other words, I’m just trying to imply that I’m worried about you RichC.
I can’t say I’ve experienced that bug. The worst I’ve seen in regards to shield control is when you’re on a ledge and it angles the shield down for literally no reason (which is another bug I hope gets fixed).
I see what you mean. Sorry, I’ve grown impatient this past week. I’ve watch people troll/derail many Reinhardt threads. I had a Hanzo player who had 0 Hours on Reinhardt tell me he knew more about him then I did. Fragehardt had a Genji main in his thread that derailed his thread yesterday. Yes the trolls and people who keep derailing these topics is getting to a lot of us Crusaders; makes us feel bad.
It’s honestly ridiculous how every single patch they bring in a new counter for Reinhardt. The new Sym will even counter him. lmao…
He needs something soon though, so here’s one of my ideas because why not:
NEW PASSIVE: Precision German Engineering
Reinhardt is more resistant (not immune) to CC effects if he has armor on.
For example, Flashbang would stun him for less time if he still has armor in his healthpool, but when Rein drops below his 200 armor in his healthpool, the stun would act like normal. (The passive would not effect ults, so Grav, Blizzard and Earthshatter would function like normal whether the passive is active or not.)
