It’s getting ridiculous due to the amount of players who are leaving that your forcing tanks to stay low to keep your queue time from going through the roof. Every time I win it’s less SR than a loss and I’ve dropped 100sr with a 55% Win rate.
Do you want zero tanks left because this will happen if all you do is force someone to play at a level just to keep the DPS players happy.

You described an player issue outside of Blizzard their hands, if you lose less SR depending on how many players on your team left then that could be abused or result in issues with the alignment of MMR.
I’m sorry but anyone who is relatively average would get out of bronze pretty quickly. You don’t need to be good or decent just not a complete bot.
It takes a special kind of delusion to believe the system is “keeping you down” while rocking almost 1 death/minute. Stop feeding your brains out.

Dont forget the abysmally low damage output and the 2.6 shatter kills per 10min
If you want to climb, you need to contribute more than an Orisa shield

Well personally i have only 3.25 Shatter kills / 10 min and also not so much dmg output as Rein, but i glimbed from 698 Sr to low Gold. I think it’s more about staying alive and blocking + playing with supports? Well what ever
Im bad at this game anyway

Maybe post reply about your game play and someone could help you? This sounds like you are doing something wrong… At least that helped me, asked help and fixed few things.
If you want to climb, youre going to have to learn to play aggressively. Rein’s job isnt just to shield, youre supposed to use your hammer liberally.
And shatter is one of the most powerful offensive ults in the game
The biggest problem is that DPS players in Bronze love to sit in front of my sheilds. Dying as fast as possible so the Tanks and Support are usually playing bunny hoppy back to safety becuase we are 4 vs 6. I tell them I’m move up with the shield to create space and they run away from the team like a dog with a bone.
In Bronze you dead from getting shot in the back because supports don’t use mics and let everyone get picked.
With Rein I have a 62% winrate. The only time I select off of him when the team comp will not allow it. Even with the remaining losses I still have a 55% winrate overall yet my SR keeps dropping.

Not even true. That issue already exists now with players being handed free wins winning handicap matches.
No one should lose Sr at all for a leaver. If you want a game with no competitive integrity that’s where the game is.
Blizzard did implement that but they still allowed stacks to do leave and reduce Sr which was a mistake.
But anyone who can defend the lack of a leaver system doesn’t care for competitive integrity. Comp will be a joke and rank won’t mean anything until the issue is addressed but it won’t be.

Matchmaker is not doing that. Your bad performance is affecting your MMR which is reward Ing you with less SR. Play better and you will start gaining more than losing.
Lol shatter is terrible now.
How is it terrible? Its several second long stun to everyone hit by it, thats pretty strong.
Well, from my experiences all tanks I’ve had have been absolute garbage who just feed all game and act like they do everything, and its the same on the other team.
I have worst experience with tanks too.
Tbh when I first started playing this game (and knew nothing about how to play) I too was one of those who would say “our DPS is not doing anything, switch, we lost because of you etc”, but now the more I play the more I see how important good tanking and good supports are at deciding the match. Cannot count how many times my tanks were bad, or how many matches were lost because of me alone because I could not hit that deciding sleep dart, or failed to land my anti, and sometimes no matter if you hit your sleep darts, hit full antis the team does not use it or tanks just stand in choke still, holding shield up without moving. In Bronze all you need is like the most basic understanding of the game to get out of it. I got out of Bronze on DPS (and I am a support player) while playing drunk.
Sounds like youre not using it right.
Replay code: PQWG1H
32k blocked with 10k damage. I missed some ULTS but the theme was the same. Team would let the HOG, Winston, and Reaper dive into the group without ever dealing with them.
Why do people keep boasting about medals? I do not get it.
The reason you had so much damage blocked is because you kept your shield up the whole time and in some cases even stood still while holding the shield. Never, ever do that. Always hug corners and wave your hammer, and when you need to put your shield up, again hug a corner and put your shield in the middle of it so one side of the corner covers the shield and the other covers the frontline. Like that you can actually see people coming around the corner. Your shield can never break, ever. As XQC once said “only bad Reinhardts let their shield break completely”. If your shield starts getting below 50% hug the nearest corner to let it recharge, sometimes even using payload as cover. If your shield keeps getting low you always need to have some hp on it to block shatters, Ana’s nade, D.VA bombs etc. I suggest watching Bowie, Super or Cloneman, they have incredible shield health management.
And please do not ever think that you are carrying or anything if you have gold medals. Do not even look at your medals.

I never boasted about medals. I purely gave stats of the round. I’ts also a payload map with long corridors. The only time i’m standing is when moving the payload when it’s contested. Since your post was so close to the time I posted I can tell you didn’t watch the replay. Please only send constructive criticism if you actually watched the game.
