Revert Reins animation cancel changes

from the killfeed looks like he just got killed by widow. What was the bug in your view?

Sound and animation of shatter played even tho it got stoped.

Itā€™s unclear but it looks like he got blasted into the air from some explosion behind him then killed by widow pocketed by mercy while sombra was trying to hack him. There was a lot going on and you know sometimes the animations donā€™t really sync up perfectly maybe due to networking with all that going on at the same time idk.

Yea but the shatter finish sound should not be played if the shatter does not go throw.

you know how sometimes the game reverts a certain thing because the server acknowledges the player already was killed or something. I donā€™t understand networking that well but thereā€™s a video on youtube of devs explaining the favor the shooter mechanic and the lag compensation interpolation/extrapolation etc.

I know that but it still counts as a bug when a sound playes that should not we had similare things in OW with a lot of characters (for example Sombraā€™s hack finishing sound) and they all counted as a bug so this is a bug that should not be there on a Character with hundets of other bugs.

It could be a bug then.
One more thing I thought of is that there are a lot of hammond mines in front of the earth shatter maybe those could have blocked some of the ult?
I know those mines blocked a lot of my shots before donā€™t know how they interact with Earthshatter.

Edit: nevermind if those blocked it then they should have been destroyed.

There are a lot of animation cancels in this game that feel super dumpy to play against, Reins were probably at the lowest part of that list. Whatā€™s next, preventing self-heal in Configuration: Tank?

Great stuff, I was already starting to play a whole lot less with my favorite hero barely touched him the past month in fact, frustration playing him and all. I guess the guillotine dropped now. Any hope I still had for Reinhardt is completely gone. Thanks Blizz

I have been your shield since season 2. Iā€™ve taken long breaks and Itā€™s true Iā€™m rather terrible at this game and not the best Rein around but I have learned to utilize his animation cancels and mind game potential. And after taking time off OW Iā€™ve always come back and played the big German grandpa.

I can deal with Brigittes, Doomfists and so forth. Itā€™s not fun to be smacked around so easily while being a huge tank but I can live with that. I can still be effective. Howeverā€¦ Taking away Reinhardtā€™s mind games and little skillful maneuvers is unbearable. Intentional or not. I will not be playing until this issue at least gets official recognition.

Ahaha this is perfect

Blizzard donā€™t give a f**k about Reinhardt. Itā€™s absolutely disgusting.

Iā€™m sorry, Rein players. The big guy doesnā€™t deserve this.

First ā€œWeā€™re working on his bugsā€
ā€¦6 months laterā€¦

ā€¦?

Itā€™s not an exploitā€¦ itā€™s skillful movement that requires you to learn it to pull it off .

People complain when Rein gets some animation cancels removed

ā€œItā€™s fine, animation cancels shouldnā€™t be centric to a hero anyway.ā€

People complain about how other heroes still have animation cancels

ā€œThey are fine, animation cancels are centric to these heroes.ā€

I donā€™t think he lost melee into firestrike animation cancel, but he did lose cancels with shield, now having to wait for the shield to undeploy before next action.
