[@reagansido5823]

I have to wonder if it was coordinated or if the poor guy just wanted a Rein mirror with Mr. Rein main himself and his teammates decided to be duckheads with it.

[@yomama2376]

Probably

[@AngrySecs]

Can't control your randoms unfortunately. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt tbh

Yeah it was he even said he doesn't know why he choosed bastion

[@KingAssRipper69]

Tbh flats accepted a rein duel where he had a lucio and the enemy rein didn't in a previous video,it goes both ways

[@AngrySecs]

@@KingAssRipper69 imagine thinking Lucio is equal to zen+bastion ☠️

[@ThatTexasGuyyyy]

This is the issue with these kinds of truces: You can convince the opposing tank player to do something, but if other players not in the truce know they're going to fight a specific character, they'll just pick characters to counter them.

[@SuperLifestream]

The one issue with these kinds of videos is the shitty ass twitch TTS

[@AmongstTheCovers]

I had someone ask me for a rein mirror a couple of weeks ago and after I had agreed, they walk out of spawn as Ramatra, Mei, Zen, and i have never been so disappointed in the state of the community as I was in that moment.

[@sonderbain]

I actually uninstalled last night. Idk how long Ill leave but this game just sucks so much right now I cant take it anymore. Time for a much needed break.

To me the opp rein was doing pretty well and trting his best for the duel but his teammates were just counters to rein which affected the duel. Still seemed pretty good though

Its almost like... tanks are supposed to have a synergistic companion to help cover from other characters abusing their inherent exploitable weakness.

The fact that in this game a tank has to run in fear because of a support is so baffling 💀 I miss playing Rein and having fun, now I'm just a big DPS that can be deleted faster than a Hanzo lmao

[@andreamicheli2575]

It's insane how much value you can get by just shooting the tank, the enemy DPSs and the Zen hard focused Flats and he couldn't do anything, either increase Tank's hp or nerf damage overall so that people who only shoot tanks get punished for it.

[@InceyWincey]

They should get punished for it anyway. If everyone is focused on the tank it leaves your DPS free to do as they please, which should mean they can kill the enemy supports pretty much for free. The trap is that your team gets sucked in to the tank duel and then whoever has the best anti tank DPS wins. Or you could just pick Orissa so they get no value from shooting you.

[@dylancrosby2451]

I swear rein is one of the few tanks it's actually good to shoot at at times, especially as bastion. Though I would still argue that you get more value from shooting literally anything else.

[@wisp_acro3666]

Earlier this week I had someone say Doom mirror then their comp was Brig/Mercy/Echo/Sombra. I just consider it that if you go a full counter comp the mirror is off and I can play whoever the hell I want

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

I get it, you know there is a Rein duel going and you want to win. That being said, have a little honor in not picking the literal hardest counters to Rein and Zen.

[@navier3043]

The fact that flats character just slumps on the wall in defeat is just hilarious 6:16

[@LaughgreatYT]

“Thats no honour” **quickly changes back to pharah**

[@denn7s]

bastion, mei, zen is just straight up evil

[@emptytincan528]

The legend of Pesky cat continues

[@dylancrosby2451]

Alright, I need everyone to upvote this so it makes it to the devs. Stuns should not be able to be chained together on tanks and there should be a delay between all stuns, much like sombra cant chain hack now. Makes no sense that you can be slept, hacked and hindered one after the other for simply existing. This causes skill based interactions where you need to correctly identify when to use a stun and not just press all of your buttons because someone else pressed theirs.

[@voronovychda]

That nyo nyo nyo with Mei's ult in the background is every tanks nightmare xD

[@CosmiccNova]

My heart went into my throat when I saw Flats at 8HP at Ram and still lived 😂 he has such good supports omg

[@amichiganboiwhosereallazy1544]

[@paing06]

I asked for a doom duel with someone once and his entire team went counter against me it went to a point to where I had to switch he was sad but I mean he blamed his team and throw their game bc he couldn’t get the duel just bc of his team

[@Moehre040]

being sad about not getting a duel is alright. Throwing the game is not. It's still a valid decision to not agree to the duel as his teammates and just go for the win, so throwing their game you are ruining everyones fun, just because you didnt get to be selfish. I wish more people would respect duels like that, but throwing just because they didnt is not ok.

There is no respect in this game anymore. Every time I challenge someone to a Rein 1v1 they either don't pick him or swap off, even Rein mains such as Bowie.

[@duckyduck34]

because rein duels are non-existent in ow2. It’s all about who got zen/and whose kiriko knows how to suzu

Its not that we don't want to rein duel too. Its just everyone else not respecting it. I respect ana duels but they can't do the same when I duel reins?

[@Hraesvelg]

Mad when bastion gets the same value at T500 as he does in Gold

[@emannuelsepulveda7259]

Mad because bastion is a counter to reins shield in a battle where they’re asking to 1v1. Choosing characters to counter a specific 1v1 is a dickhead move and we all know that, don’t act like you don’t. How is flats supposed to win a rein 1v1 with both no shield (because of bastion) and taking more damage than the other rein (because of zen discord orb). He isn’t, that’s how. It’s lame

[@JDMKEV]

need that tips and tricks video flats!

[@butterzzz13]

Comment for the editor. That Enderman teleport noise when he took tele… Mint.

[@maskedkid26]

I refuse mirrors for this reason, don't care the champ Rein, Sigma, Widow, anything, the only way you can actually prove you're the better player on a character is having literally the exact same outside influence, which is genuinely impossible, even if the entire team mirror matches, it'd show which team is better not which individual player is better. The only circumstances where you can try and show who is better is either a. both teams having identical bot teams, or b. 1v1 ing, which at least as tanks doesn't quite show an accurate match up, bc you don't have the outside pressures of heals and dmgs.

[@_CallmeDaDa]

The least you could do to help rein is make him so he can't get headshot he's just so bad rn

[@ReeseWRX]

At 10:18 does anyone know what was going on in the match for why he wouldn't try to secure another kill in that fight? Not criticism just trying to understand context for my own tank improvement lol. Cause for me 9 out of 10 times I'm pushing to try and secure another kill especially if I see my support come heal me and the tracer is pretty close to help pinch them.

[@PepperJeff2022]

It's overtime and if he can force the opposing team steps off he wins, he needed to get the contest, after pushing the front line opp back he backed up a bit to make sure he doesn't leave cart completely high and dry in case of a back cap

[@BoliceOccifer]

I feel like I've seen this video title three times from Flats

[@JadeaYuki12]

Me and Dva wanted a 1V1 and one of the opposing teams was down for it. The rest of the players from both sides cockedblocked us from having fun. Sincerely hated the rest of the match.
