  • Symmetra, I liked her when she was a utility focused dps hero wih some support functionality. Now shes been ship of theseus’d into a raw damage dealer who offers little utility to her team.

    Also no, just becuase I dont main Symm anymore doesnt mean I specifically miss lock on beam because Im too bad to track a normal beam, everyone loves ro strawman that about pwople who miss older Symm reworks but thats not it for me, just staving that accusation off now.

















  • Unless you have a Bastion, it takes 8-10 seconds to destroy it with multiple people shooting, and that’s 8-10 seconds where you’re in LOS of his dps.

    This is exactly why pure buffs with no compensation nerfs would be a bad idea.

    I think a lot of people see that charging in whenever shift is off cooldown leads to you exploding, and assume Rein is bad for that- while ignoring he has effectively another 1400 HP with no headshot hitbox to whittle down before you can truly kill him. An ulting Winston with nano only has an effective 1500 hp, and Rein has almost that much on just his barrier.


  • He’s just in a bad state right now.

    Not really? Most people agree hes actually above average out of tanks right now- I mean, his thicc armor and 1400 barrier is a great counter to absurd burst damage in the game right now. I know Reinhardt players talk about shield melting fast, but keep in mind thats still 1400 points of damage your team *didnt* take.

    “Fat” buffs especially would be a bad idea- Rein being made too much better makes him way too quickly outpace every other tank in the game.

    And frankly, unpopular as it may be to say around here… I disagree with the notion Rein is some perfectly designed tank and that “Rein metas are always the most fun”. True Rein metas are just as annoying as when any other single tank is the “true” meta, and while Im one of only 4 tank mains who says this, I actuallyt dont like playing as Rein every game personally.
