Point-blank shatter was the only way for Rein to (almost) guarantee kills, and now’s it’s gone. This is a huge indirect buff to all supports, but especially to Kiri, Nanogoblin, and Bap.
Yet another reason to uninstall for good. One day I will be free…
Oh god…how are you gonna live through having to use a newly buffed firestrike to secure multiple kills of helpless enemies?
Hot take
Rein never needed a insta kill hitbox,they added it cuz of the meme
Shatter outright killing people was a bit ridiculous, and removing it to buff parts of his kit that DID need help is a good thing.
they literally increased the stun duration by .25 second?
you basically can make enemies unable to play the game for 3 seconds at the cost of slightly less damage. as a Rein player, he’ll still be good and probably one of the tanks with a team fight winning ult
yes the stun is worthless if Kiriko is in the game but thats because they have yet to address suzu cleanse
Shatter, pin them out of the lamp or fire strike after the suzu. If you shattered and missed the bap or kiriko then you are most likely not gonna get the kill anyway even with the one shot.
Doesn’t it still wallbang? Or did they fix that?
Sleep dart lasts for 5 seconds, so shatter stun could last for 5 seconds and it would still be easy to counter.
The insta shatter kill was fun and will sorely be missed.
But I will accept the sacrifice if it means I get two 100 damage fire strikes, and a longer stun. I can now finally snipe those damn Junk tires.
He never should have had 250 in the first place.
should do the same with dva then? i’ve felt this way ever since they added her insta kill with remech in OW1
Just swing one time my guy. They buffed the duration of Earthshatter, reduced the cooldown on his charge, and increased his firestrike damage so he can two-tap, and yet you choose to fixate on the one small nerf he recieved.
Wasnt he like one of the worst tanks already? Why nerf him?
honestly
to get my firestrike back at 100
I can easily trade my one shot shatter, it was a band aid fix in ow1 anyways, we played rein without this change for years, and it wasnt even needed.
now when you will shatter people you will be able to secure kills easily with 2 firestrikes at 100 (especially on the supports that tends to be at the end of a shatter)
You gotta be out of your mind. Pin on shorter cooldown, firestrike can now kill when you hit both AND destroys junk tire, hammer swing knocks back less so people won’t get away and 2.75 second shatter stun
One consistent source of joy for me was seeing my Rein-main friend flank the enemy team and instantly delete the enemy Ana with shatter. I’m gonna miss seeing that. But 100 damage firestrikes is probably worth the trade.
As an OW1 rein player he never needed that buff. I’ll take longer stun over the instakill and other buffs he received
Not sure about that, but it did go through payload and other obstacles.
