Replay Code

It means so much to me that Earthshatter can do so much more damage to heroes at the point of impact. I knew you wouldn’t let us down with this amazing, and oh so reliable buff to Earthshatter.
On the real, if this was any other heroes Ultimate, people would be screaming about how unfair it is. Looking at you DPS players.
Don’t look at me, I know it is bull.
Can I get a description please?
The buff to Earthshatter placed a 200 damage increase at the Shatter point of impact. In the Replay code, at the time stamp, you can see an Earthshatter that Mercy is standing on the small orange circle where Earthshatter hits and takes all of 50 damage.
I’m going to guess they put the hammer directly on someone and it does nothing.
Yep
I’ve been Mei standing right there, took a full ult to the face and almost nothing happened.
I thought it was bull, the Rein thought it was bull. It is buggy.
You should report it since you have a replay code in the bugs section.
So we should stop reporting bugs?
I see. I trust it looks quite funky.
But yeah shatter was never a consistent thing…
This happens like 50% of the time. Its not a bug, its a feature.
The fact that its Earthshatter means it won’t get fixed for no less then 2 years, and probably not at all.
Then there is nothing to see here folks. As you were…
Like I said, if this was Tactical Visor, or EMP, it would get fixed tomorrow.
I love when chad reins get buffed
Well it’s the first time I’ve seen it.
I would consider doing what people do for those characters then - consider it a bug, rather than a feature and report it.
I would leave out hyperbole like “it happens 50%% of the time” and focus on the actual scenario so the devs can replicate the bug and then fix.
You are welcome
Maybe I should play some Reinhardt before I make that determination. 860 hours, just isn’t enough.
A short while ago when it first came out a rein main tested it out and it actually begins at his feet and ends at his hammer
Not sure why that is… cause it makes no sense to start at his feet instead of where his hammer hits
I have had it add the damage at the point of impact before. Normally its anything that touches the little circle where the hammer hits. Problem is, It only applies the damage less then half the time, and it was a stupid buff to begin with.
You’ve played 860 hours of the game since the patch?
Can I borrow your time machine?
Irrationally irate is how I would describe this
No,
I have played, after checking, 875 hours of Reinhardt from the release of the game. I played the original iteration, that wasn’t broken at all.
Then I played the Anniversary Patch in 2017 which for some unknown reason made the Hammer Swing register the 1st swing late. And I watched as Blizzard, who couldn’t give a damn about it, band-aid fix it by making his Hammer Swing go from 1 per second, to 1 per .9 seconds. Incidentally, it didn’t even fix the problem if your ping is over 50. Mine is 90 on average.
Then I lived through the “fix” to Charge. It was better for the Reinhardt player because it did more server checks for character placement. But it made Charge too reliable, so that had to go.
On top of all this, Blizzard had to “fix” Earthshatter…when it wasn’t even broken. Their “fix” made Earthshatter more prone to hit registry errors then before. “Spaghetti code” is how the all knowing Kaplan put it. Not to mention, it created a new zone at the end of Earthshatter that just didn’t hit anyone.
Charge was then reverted back to its previous state, except now the vacuum property was less pronounced. Great, fix Charge for people getting hit by it, but leave the bounce in even if the hit was square in the center of a character.
After all this, Blizzard nerfs all shields, because reasons, and buffs Reinhardt with extra Hammer Swing damage that wasn’t even needed.
The only good thing to come out of any of these changes was Steadfast. All tanks should have some protection against displacement, not just Reinhardt.
Buffing Earthshatter to do extra damage at crotch level was stupid. However, if you are going to buff it, make sure it _______ works.
Read the above lightweight.
The best part is, no one can even be bothered to watch the damn thing to see what I am talking about. Utter trash. That’s okay though, lets see what happens when they become MicroBlizz next year.
No, I get it. It’s buggy and doesn’t always do as advertised, and as per the stigma you are acting butthurt as these self righteous tank and support players around here often do. You have a negative bias towards damage players because of how you have chosen to play the game.
All in all, your reaction to this unfortunate circumstance is both irrational and typical at the same time.
I mean - irrationally irate is what I would call the above.
No one asked about the history of Reinhardt. It’s a bug and you haven’t reported it. You’ve just taken the time instead to whine about DPS players or that people who don’t and shouldn’t care and have probably seen this thread on their mobile phone are not watching the pretty video you made.
Put this thread in the bug section, maybe without the random irrelevant ranting and perhaps (shock, horror) it might be taken as a bug report.
