[@VVheeli]

“Does he think melee is hook?” The fact that the answer to that question isn’t 100% “no” is a testament to how Bronze OW is a different game.

[@sirisaac6225]

It’s a different timeline entirely, a different species of players you could say

[@lofkii]

bronze players are mutations that scientists are still trying to study to this day

[@Malcorpse]

14:00 I went ahead and counted, Blake went from 450 hp to 0 in 32 frames or just over 1/2 a second at 60fps

[@karamei]

thank you for your service in this analysis of the main tank experience

[@Freyaundergrowth]

The only reason it wasn’t faster was because it was bronze

[@KyleCorbeau]

and that is why concentrated fire with orisa ult is _absolutely_ terrifying. When it's not blocked and directed to one target, that target is just dead.

[@Astorias]

That Rein was the absolute embodyment of what MTD is. His goals and motivations are beyond human comprehesion. One Tank to rule them all, One Tank to find them, One Tank to bring them all and in the Objective bind them In the Land of Bronze where the Shadows lie

[@hanasong8296]

the fact that the ana is in the same game as this rein is exactly why we need a hard SR reset and bring back performance based SR gain.

[@masift1494]

Performance based SR gain is a thing from bronze-plat. Once you hit diamond, the SR gain is based on the average SR of your team VS the enemy team.

[@setshuei]

The hard reset won't do anything cause the Ana will throw the games she needs to stay at the same rank.

[@zacharyhorton3139]

@@setshuei nah I went from miserable games with shitty teammates struggling get out of silver but when I made an alt account to try to get a sr reset I got low plat. People tank there SRs at the beginning of their career at lvl 25 and then unless they grind for months and months for a dozen hours a week they can’t get out of that rank.

I get a real sense of "Someone let their kid play on their account but they clicked competitive instead of quickplay" from Blake13 😂

[@blackflashh]

You know what? That just might be correct. I mean, his account is at 163 lvl, absolutely no one at lvl 163 would play like this, even in bronze We are not watching Blake, we're watching Blake's little brother XD

[@ariannaeleanor314]

[@vishg5148]

@@johnsonspark171 Yeah it is pretty hard to play a game that’s not out yet, good job bud

[@Siks7Ate9]

​​@@MyuNeptune 1 tank also means you can punish 1 tanks mistakes allot more. hence if you understand what your doing you can basically win that game up to a certain point where dps will have insane aim and punish you for trying to sleep or anti or even wall of the tank. also with 5 people in the game your impact will also be felt more. even if your rein does absolutely nothing your still going to get ult charge as a support. Another thing is that if it's a new player you can also just try to explain why he shouldn't do that and he might follow /lead you. I know I was like Blake when I played tank for a good 8+ hours or more until someone explained this to me. there will also be allot more tanks and players so the chances of getting a rein like that when tanks are super powerful is pretty slim imo. because before he gets in comp he will get absolutely rolled 100 times over or someone explains what he's doing wrong

[@justcallmexen]

I like how Flats did probably exactly what the post wanted and watched the "interesting" rein. I feel like this person may have been backcapped once and said "never letting that happen again". I could see why the Mercy was pulling the pistol cuz she wanted so bad to not wait until the enemy was on point to engage when rein forced everyone else to pick between having a barrier and being in position. And just... the threadbare understanding of how the hero worked, instead just holding up shield so to never be caught off guard, literally. They didn't know how to shatter, or that the shield recharges when down, or that you can't buffer shield when swinging the hammer.

I think people forget QP exists sometimes and that you can get skilled at the game without playing comp. I don't mean Flats btw I mean the people in chat who said the Ana is a smurf because she could aim, and had good game sense.
