Ooh, a big nerf to one of the other two viable tanks and three irrelevant buffs to irrelevant heroes. What’s going to come out of this?
More Rein across the board. Obviously.

Hmm I wonder what the point of buffing “Irrelevant Heroes” is for hmmm hmmm I wouldn’t be able to guess Its not like they want them to have the ability to be viable hmmmmm

I think they are trying to not force a ball meta, not force a rein meta

They would have to buff them FAR more than this to do anything at all.
All three will go from F tier to slightly less far down F tier.
Would love a Winston meta. Imo he’s the least frustrating hero to die to. His kit is fair, and if he was the center of the meta it wouldn’t be so frustrating to lose against.

Ball is only meta in GM. Zarya is now meta in masters and it’s Rein all the way down from there.

sub master players exist though. ball is bad even in low dia
You must be new to Overwatch. This is called favoritism. Reinhardt will never receive a nerf after they nerfed all the shields. Reinhardt got only a slap on the wrist nerf on his shield and later he received a whole new passive Steadfast.

Well, they’re systematically destroying every other tank. What’s your conclusion?

Yeah he hated rein with a passion. The only fine change is rein getting deleted.

You do know they just buffed two tanks that weren’t Rein, right?
One was even quite a large buff for Orisa.

These are trivial buffs and you know it. If they gave Orisa four or five buffs like this maybe she reaches D tier again.

They weren’t but OK.
Either way, if they were “systematically destroying every other tank” why are they buffing other tanks?

Orisa just got what is arguably the singular strongest buff she ever had.

The Orisa buff is huge though, headshot immunity is like the biggest reason Hammond gets away with what he does.
Now Fortify makes damage super easy to heal through.
And the Winston buff is nice too. It’s small, but that’s fine because he doesn’t need much.
You do realize buffing tanks indirectly weakens Rein by improving alternative strategies right? You can’t say they are forcing Rein if they are directly buffing his competition.

The problem is the buffs are tiny and meaningless. Orisa and Winston will be just as worthless as they are now. The only difference that matters is doing further damage to Wrecking Ball who is already highly questionable outside of GM.
