A lot of us Love the big guy and will never give him up. But sometimes, there are things in the game that tilt us or make us sigh. Whats your trigger when playing Reinhardt?
Mine would be when Mei ‘taps once’ and you are completely immobile for seconds just simply holding your shield and hoping you can get at least 1 swing on her when the opportunity arises.

not a Rein main, but I play him enough to hate Mei in general.

When healers are bad or when the team asks me to play Rein and I have a solo healer zenyatta… nope… not gonna happen I’d rather uninstall the game than suffer this pain.

Oh geez. This ^
I love a good lucio. But when there is a lucio and zen or Brig, it feels as if there is zero healing and it forces you to play rein as a crazy skirmish hero who does not count on healing. LEROY

When you Earth Shatter 5+ of the enemy team and there is no follow thru with your team. Even when you just told them your shatter was coming.

When you earth shatter the enemy team and somehow magically instantly die right after.

when you press Q and die immediately, so there is no shatter.
And then you lose all your ult charge
Bonus if this is on overtime

What I want to know, is do these people play the same game as me? Are they new/inexperienced players? Are they bad players? Honestly, what goes thru their minds that makes them think playing Rein with no burst healer is a good idea?
It’s not a good idea. It’s one of the worst ideas. But I’m absolutely shocked that people tell me to stay on Rein when the only healer is a zen or lucio. I flat out explain to people thru coms that rein MUST have a burst healer, otherwise I’m going Hog.

I know right, it’s litteraly abuse you drop your shield for a second and you’ll be bursted down can’t play agrrssive at all🤣 luckily sometimes when I explain to them one of the supports switches to either Moira or Mercy.

When I’m near spamming my ult’s ready, see that our Zarya/Hanzo/Genji/whoever acknowledges and then we, as a team, go in. I set up with Hammer Down and see that EVERYONE is scattered.
Our Gengu’s off running after the enemy Nursey (Mercy), Handsoap’s trying to storm-arrow the enemy Brig solo, Zarya bubbles’s Gengu, I’m guessing, trying to get a little more charge out of them before popping out her ult, WHICH SHE NEVER DOES, and no one ever follows up.
….-Sigh-…
Long story short, We lose the point. It’s happened to me 3 consecutive times in less than an hour and a half just the other day, to which I decide my sanity comes first, and switch to derp around in Fo4 
I can live with the Earthshatter business. I hate it, but I can live with it.
Overall for me it has to be the fact that even after like 6-10 patches claim that Charge/hit detection for charge has been fixed, it is more broken now then it was on release 2 years ago.

At this point the only thing that triggers me is when his ult detection just does not work.
I’ve put up with so much BS playing rein that this is the only thing that upsets me now.
Getting stunlocked/CC’d has nothing on the
I feel when earthshatter just does not work.

playing reinhardt and your team doesnt even try to use your shield. i havent played him in months because my team, both organized and randoms, never stay behind the shield. i break through a choke, survive, but they never follow or push up with me. instead they go to all 4 corners of the map.
