Look, I get it, not everyone on these forums plays tank.
I get it, a lot of people are caught in their role bubble and have a hard time generating any sympathy, but come on you guys. These Earthshatter bugs needs to go. It’s so damn frustrating when you line up a perfect earthshatter and then your hammer behaves like the item hammer from super smash brothers, bobbing up and down until you finally land somewhere unintended and miss your targets.
It sucks guys. It really sucks. These Rein bugs (especially with his ult) is starting to get me angry. It’s one thing if I play bad, it’s one thing if I lose a game because the enemy team out plays me, or I make mistakes…
But when you do EVERYTHING right, and you get taken down by a stupid bug… well… no experience as a gamer can be any worst then this.
How long has Reinhardt been this messed up? Why is this tolerated by all of you? Because you don’t play him? Well news flash people! YOU STILL LOSE GAMES because your Rein teammate is getting slammed with these broken bugs.
You don’t exist in a vacuum. The poorness of bugs (and lack to resolve them) effects YOUR gameplay, whether you are aware of it or not. This is OUR game. We share it, we experience these things either directly or indirectly. We should all be more outspoken or concerned.
No hero, I don’t care WHAT CLASS YOU ARE, deserves to have a bugged out ultimate, let alone have one for MONTHS on end. I wouldn’t want this for ANY OF YOU. So why the hell are we tolerating it. These things should be patched ASAP. Stop the skins, stop the events. If a Hero has a bugged out ult, THAT needs to be the #1 priority of the dev team. It’s a damn shame it isn’t.
Sorry if I sound more aggressive in this post. I’m just sick of bugs.
There have been multiple threads on the bug forum with this.
At what point, seriously, is there ENOUGH evidence? Gamers have been piling up evidence for this, along with all the other bugs they had to live with for months on end with previous bugs.
Do you care to respond to the crux of my post:
MONTHS ON END bugs, without fixes prior. More bugs now.
See this is why this game sucks. You have people like yourself that will defend this madness.
If anyone else cares to respond, I’ll be happy. But this ring around the rosey from the devs needs to finally be called out. REIN has been BUGGED for God knows how long now.
And again, I will repeat this for you. NO GAMER playing this game (or any game) deserves to play a hero who has a BUGGED ultimate. That is just plain out WRONG. I don’t care who it is. That is the kind of stuff that MUST get patched quickly. And as the Chronological patch evidence shows, IT DOESN’T get patched quickly.
Months. On. End.
Either we are going to have some solidarity of this forum, or we are going to go to hell in hand basket (if we aren’t there already).
Look at the patch history. The chronological evidence is there. It takes them WAAAAY to long. We aren’t talking like a couple months here. We are talking anywhere from 6+ months to a YEAR with this the same bugs! And like I said in the original post, It’s an ULTIMATE. This game centers around and is decided by team ultimates, ult syngergy, and ult economy.
If an ultimate is bugged. It’s a bad gaming experience. There is no spinning this. There is no “is hard” …“it’s really hard”… bull. Blizz is a huge gaming company. They shouldn’t have it this way for 6+ months.
If it was your hero, you’d be singing a different tune. People on these forums are bias as hell. It’s like American politics on these forums. Divisive and lack of empathy.
People over react to this bug IMO. It’s cosmetic. Earthshatter doesn’t land until Rein touches the ground. That’s intended. The animation playing while he’s in the air is the bug, it doesn’t change gameplay though. Just an annoying visul, not nearly as bad as other things which do infact change gameplay.
Regardless, it’s fixed on PTR. Don’t get emotional over something that’s already been addressed.
Listen. I’m a Mei main.
I have been waiting since day one to have her Cryo-Freeze bug fixed where she can be killed/stunned in her iceblock, so I DO know how insane long it takes to have some bugs fixed.
But I don’t get angry about it.
Why?
Because Overwatch is just a game!
I don’t want to get angry over a game.
And I’m not a Blizzard defender. I have made my fair share of threads calling Blizzard out for their problems.
(This is why I dislike the forums sometimes. It’s whiny sometimes.)
Again. I play Mei.
Ever seen your ultimate dissappear mid air? I do. A lot actually.
The rein earthshatter bug is purely graphical - it has nothing to do with whether you win or lose. It’s weird and kind of annoying, but all fixing the bug would do is make you not have to watch the animation play over and over.
Now if we’re talking about actual gameplay-influencing things - that Gridiron reinhardt shatter voice line really needs to change.
Thanks for striking a condecending tone with me. Your snark is not appreciated. And if you played Rein, you’d know his bug history and how long he sat with bugs.
I’ve played comp Rein since Season 2 with over 100 hours on him, and honestly his bugs were never that bad. The only ones that really bugged (get it) me were the 180 shield glitch, the thing where getting uppercut can cancel earthshatter, and earthshatter occasionally ignoring shields.
I know everyone has complained about charge and shatter hitboxes for forever, but I never really noticed any inconsistencies even playing at ~4000 SR. Maybe they were all fixed by the time I got good enough at him to notice
Not that bad? There have been mega threads on it in the past by a hundreds of Rein mains… I doubt you. I seriously doubt you. Here is one of the threads from the OLD forum (that proves how far back this goes):
I know about the megathreads! And it’s always mystified me, because 90% of the time I don’t notice anything. Like recently, everyone’s been complaining about a few frames delay on his shield and calling him incredibly sluggish and unplayable, but I honestly wouldn’t have noticed without the forums calling it out.
Maybe I’m just an incredibly ignorant Reinhardt, but I literally cannot notice half of the game-breaking bugs people complain about, even though I have solid understanding and lots of playtime.
Then it’s seriously you. I’ve provided the threads. Reins have talked, and been talking about this. It’s because of their effort that Blizzard seemed to have taken some notice. But seriously, it is you.
Just because you didn’t notice the bugs doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
I still have to deal with Rein randomly spinning 180 degrees after dropping his shield. It really sucks when I earthshatter right when Rein spins and end up shattering the wall behind me.
