MeRcY CaN ReS WhiCH Is UniQUe MaYbE ThaTs THe PlaN FoR hEr MUst PiCk?
You see why it’s a problem? A unique capability doesn’t justify the hero being a must pick, it’s just a unique capability. Nor does it mean the hero is inherently unbalanceable.
I don’t think it does just so happen.
I kind of believe, at least on ladder, that the meta is created by overtuned or too difficult to counterplay damage abilities. I don’t think it’s gotta belong to a damage hero, but people zero in on a particular kill strategy.
But the tanks are the one that enforce and enable it. The damage heroes can’t do it alone. So the whole rest of team is about supporting and enabling that particular damage ability and securing kills.
And some tank duo will work best to maximize and synergize with that hero, and the others will fall by the wayside.
Hog, Genji, Tracer, Hanzo, Brigitte, Pharah (on console), McCree, Widow, even very briefly Bastion…
All of these guys have been used to great success at some point, and they all had a tank combo pretty much dominate when they did.
I think each tank offers something unique and what you will need will depend on who exactly you’re enabling.
That’s just my theory though
But he isn’t a must pick.
So what you saying instead of buffing the whole class to make the whole class work you going to leave them at a weak State and make their strongest weak hero weaker to balance the pick rates out ok and brigitta is balanced and mercy needs more Nerfs lol? And more so why everytime i post a rein post are you always turning into a argument to fix him about the pick rate Oh I thought of all the weak Heroes he’s picked the most it means nothing if all 3 of the only picks are buggy hard countered or situational we have 25 Heroes that aren’t main tanks out of 28 Heroes total that is the only reason his pick rate is so high you can go as Winston gets knocked out of the air by widow hanzo or orisa and try to slow push to the point on attack with a bunch of randoms you think you’re taking too long to push on the point so they ran on without you because your shields on cooldown and you have a peashooter hanging from your right arm or rein who is only dangerous if you’re within 6 Meters and has a barrier that a lot of DPS can focus down within 5 secs
But the whole class isn’t weak, that’s the point. It’s just Rein being a substantial outlier that’s the problem.
There’s no need to buff 5 heroes to keep up with one, especially not whenn a 3-4 Tank composition is already a workable strategy.
You are wrong i main tank when the meta lets it happen winston and orisa are better then rein they are fine
1 we do need more tanks
2 as 100 people have said he woeks with who is played now thats why he is picked his shield is not bugged and thats what he needs to do his job but when its down he is so buggy its not funny
Ps you are on every post i make about him asking other rein mains if they have heard anything let me give you a hint you won’t get killed by him as much if you stay 7 meters away there i fixed your issue with rein try it i just wanted to know if anybody heard anything but you made it a hundred and fifty comment conversation about him getting nerfed like you have done to me 4 times now get off him go back to your mercy fourm I just wanted freaking answers
Furthermore what five heroes are you talking about there was only three main tanks the rest are secondary tanks
People wanted a buff.
I for one was against the notion that Reinhardt needed buffs. My stand point is that if, big IF, all of Reinhardt’s bugs were fixed, he may need a nerf to balance all the utility he brings.
Before there were Ghost Hits, now those still exist and they managed to introduce Ghost Shatter, because why not.
I love playing Reinhardt, but right now it just feels horrible.

she is, still, just not in a favorable meta.
