I think Rein just needs a new ult as most of the time Hammer Down either never works as intended or only gets one maybe 2 people down.

For the 200 + hours of playing Rat against Reins I have never not once ever got caught in a hammer down more than maybe twice or three times, and 2 out of those 3 times weren’t even aimed at me lol

Alright… welp.

You win the best gif award.
That is the only gif i will ever use now.

I kinda feel like Tanks are being ignored right along with “Defensive” Heroes…

Where’s the love man?
Where…

SensualSpud-1202 · July 25, 2018, 8:07pm

It’s a great gif, mostly because you don’t see it right away.

And yeah, the tank role feels oppressive sometimes because tanks are absolutely required to win a game, yet all of them feel bad right now because they’re either buggy or not worth a damn in the current meta.

I am sorry, D.Va and Winston mains. I love you all the same

His swing is slower and you can’t animation cancel out of shield for a quick hit making it far more punishable and kills his combo’s. I guess its fair considering how trivial it was to CQC/shieldslap Reapers into submission but it still makes me sad that he feels so stunted. Please tell me this isn’t an official nerf and, if so, why wasn’t it listed in the official patch notes? I’m sure many have lost sr due to this surprise change.

SensualSpud-1202 · July 25, 2018, 8:08pm

It’s really no different than what helps separate good Genjis from bad ones. Bad Genjis don’t utilize animation cancels. And neither do bad Reinhardts.

I’m not saying they’re the same hero, just providing another example.

You take that away from Genji players and they’re going to be rather upset.

im happy with this nerf. shields on this game is annoying af

SensualSpud-1202 · July 25, 2018, 8:14pm

Ironic, considering it’s not even the shield that is the problem.

AkinLint66-1127 · July 25, 2018, 8:20pm

Tracer’s and Reaper’s are laughing at my swings. Make it stop.

haXudon-1567 · July 25, 2018, 8:23pm

ah then it is an intentional nerf. you’re supposed to be holding up shield and not swing. so blizzard kind of forced you to be doing that. and punish you if you do otherwise.

this nerf makes sense.

Afterstar-1658 · July 25, 2018, 8:26pm

I just saw that video with the earthshatter changes,sorry, I meant stealth nerfs/bugs(?).

I’m so triggered right now.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN BLIZZARD SCREW REINHARDT OVER?
HOW DO THEY DO IT?

Animation cancels removed, Sluggish movements, slow shield retracements, new earthshatter and ghost melee swing bugs introduced, NOTHING FIXED YET, NEW BUGS AND NEW STEALTH NERFS!
No comments from blizzard, just silent treatment as usual.

DeadlyPants-189582 · July 25, 2018, 8:26pm

I’m really glad this was posted because I feel like it answers the problems I’ve been having as healer. Without Rein the teams all seem messed up and disorganized like nobody knows what to do so they pick off tanks and the dps just runs around like idiots. I hope they fix Rein soon, maybe things will go back to how they were if our favorite main tank is working right

SensualSpud-1202 · July 25, 2018, 8:30pm

Well, hopefully if it gains more views it’ll get a blue response of some kind. Again, I’m not asking for full details, or a, “omg we’ll fix this right now!” I just want it to be acknowledged. We can adapt.

Bigwoof-1781 · July 25, 2018, 8:32pm

Feels so bad to play rein now.

On top of all the bugs, old and new, now there is another high-mobility hero with displacement effects.

Reinhardt needs to just be renamed piñata

SensualSpud-1202 · July 25, 2018, 8:34pm

Punching Bag can be his alias, and Piñata is his codename.

Morrov555-2818 · July 25, 2018, 8:36pm

I’d love if they told us if it’s intentional and we just have to suck it up or can we expect a fix.

I can honestly live with a nerf, even if he didn’t deserve it, but the fact that it’s a ninja nerf is quite annoying.

Duke-13605 · July 25, 2018, 8:37pm

oh my GOD. That video… I am lost for words with how much the results of each interaction has pissed me off. That is simply unacceptable.

Piximae-1841 · July 25, 2018, 8:37pm

I only play Rein a few times if we’re extremely desperate for a tank, and I’ve noticed how drugged he feels opening his shield

SensualSpud-1202 · July 25, 2018, 8:39pm

Maybe he finally decided to say, “**** it” and showed up to work very drunk.

CatCountry-2145 · July 25, 2018, 8:42pm

I haven’t tested it myself, but if the shield deployment really is this slow now and can’t be cancelled by any means… ugh…

So we can’t bait enemy shatters anymore? Can’t swing-shield in time of certain character shooting cycles(really helped me vs Reaper, for instance)? Can’t even quicksmack someone thinking they can just walk around the shield?

All mindgames rekt.

Sigh… I’ve always said that it’s Blizzard’s wish to make DPS the only fun and impactful role in the game… I hate being validated like this.
