Fir the most iconic tank hes always gotten the short end of the stick. We does too easily his range is awful and his movement speed is pretty much nothing. Buff Reinhardt

He’s pretty fine with Lucio or Juno (Preferably both). They cover his major weakness of no real mobility outside of pin.
He doesn’t really need anything.

Every OW1 Reinhardt tank will agree with you.
People are mad upset that he has shield that is the key issue. DPS just want to blast a tank down. with Reinhardt you need to use your head.
that is an issue with faceroll dps from Valorant.
Today, i bought the gilded Orissa skin and steam rolling top 500 dps.
That is how easy this Orissa hero is.
Reinhardt is one of the best tanks right now lmao
Meta tank for 97% of the playerbase and for the top 3% he is still above average.

Being iconic isn’t a justification for “a major buff”, what part of his kit is too weak in your opinion?

No.
We will not.
Over 1000 hours and a 57% win rate.
All Blizzard does when they mess with his stuff is make him worse in the end.
They tried to fix Earthshatter and now it’s less reliable and more buggy then before.
They fixed Charge and it became “too reliable” so they reverted it, and made it worse.
Firestrike had a stealth change, I would say it’s projectile hit box was ever so slightly narrowed when they gave him a second one.
They can’t figure out how much shield health to give him, when if you’ve played him long enough, it makes no difference.
How about they just don’t touch him and make him worse…again.

Perhaps we should try the opposite approach. Let’s nerf Reinhardt. Perhaps they will accidentally buff him.

Hard pass.
To be fair, what has been done, this logic is sound.
I will never get over the fact that Charge was fixed, and the reason to change it back was to make it more RNG like it was prior to the fix. Imagine if that was any other hero.

Honestly Shatter is a pain… Honestly the one part about him I hate (as a former Rein main). On the one hand;
It’s absolutely NASTY to hit a shatter on someone you didn’t even intend to shatter, or getting a Pharah in the air.
On the other:
God I feel bad when that happens. Like I feel terrible, because I’ve been that Pharah/Junk/Mercy, I’ve been that one Tracer who was DEFINITELY BEHIND A WALL GODDAMMIT and it’s just kinda unfun. I feel bad for them, because I feel disgusted at the kit I’m playing with. I think.
Sorry if this makes no sense, I’m on break and my mind is melting out of my ears.

what buff could they give him? Hard no to more shield health, he doesnt really need more damage, its already pretty high… he really just needs to be played with a speed support. That’s kinda it

Random ideas to buff/change rein. Mostly for fun not balance.
Halve his tank role boop passive and give him back his own steadfast passive. Frontfaced boops have most resistance, moreso than anyone else. He barely budges. Side on boops are 50% of his max resistance, rear boops are not steadfast resisted but he still has half the role resistence. Or maybe a quarter.
Adds skill expression to the rein, read when a boop is coming, turn to face it. Fail to do so, get booped.
Firestrikes deal bonus damage to armour. Does fire i.e. molten core still deal bonus to armour or did they remove that?
Rocket pin. Hold space while pining to gain slight height. Very slight, like 5 or 10 degree angle upwards. Gives rein much more movement options around certain maps. Clear more gaps he couldn’t clear before ect. Pin pharah off the top rope if they’re low enough.
Rocket burn. Enemies within 3m behind rein while he pins will get burn and get slight knockback. It is a Rocket after all.

When was it “fixed?” I recall it always vacuuming in people that it missed.
Great idea. Make it so that one support is locked on Lucio or Juno and they cannot switch unless the other support picks one of them. That would definitely be the least intrusive way of doing this.

Yes just buff a tank that’s already performing well statistically in every single rank

We even have Shoeglazer’s approval? This should be a done deal. It seems EVERYBODY wants Reinhardt buffed. Not a surprise.

Fireball should pass through effects like deflect, matrix and Sig’s absorb
Deflect similiarly should not be able to do anything against his giant hammer swings
Get rid of these silly interactions and he’d be more reliable. Genji alone is a really trouble some hero in QP, the playerbase needs more ways to render him unplayable.
