Rein is playable yes, when your teammates cooperate. The moment you were focused, your teammates responded. On metal ranks, they watch you get melted and flame you.

[@PezzaHando]

Yeah rein shouldn't be played in metal, takes teamwork and coordination, that's the biggest issue with him tbh, people are like aww wdym he's playable if your team plays this this and this and does this this and this, yet there's how many other tanks where you can just play and don't need a pick set specifically to keep you alive or even be able to catch up to anyone to hit them, hope they implement his bap wall shield or something to imcentivise people actually playing behind him and backing him up, just something, anything, he's stale and gets rolled by basically anything

Balance is an illusion. Asymmetrical game. I think they need to lean into the asymmetry with a Pick-hero-pool(2/3) and one ban for the opposite team.

[@coldshock5181]

@@josephreynolds2401 6v6 with hero bans and double shield balance is still in my opinion the best version of ow possible

[@josephreynolds2401]

@@coldshock5181 That's fair AND i agree. 6v6 isn't coming back soon tho so I suggest buckling up. The hero pool would solve the issue of counterswapping if you could only play 2 hero's per match. And a draft phase inherently engages people with the game before the match starts instead of a short wait in the spawn room. No more last minute pickers ruining a carefully constructed comp, giving up space for the first fight for no reason.

He's always been playable, he just can't hardly play aggressively against a coordinated or intelligent enemy. Something they could do is give him a passive where after he Charges, for a few seconds he has an afterburn affect that gives him a small boost to movement speed, cause literally they biggest problem with him is his severe lack of mobility and the fact most characters can literally outpace him walking backward, and his Charge is about as readable as a leapfrog book.

I honestly think that they should make the speed buff when you lose the shield in mirrorwatch an actual passive for Reinhardt, it would make him so much more playable Edit: they should also make it so that it adds a bit of over health so you're not getting instantly melted when your shield breaks

[@mr.meeseeks54]

A good Rein player will not allow some1 to break his shield. 1hp shield minimum is required in any case szenario. I rather think he should move at 100% movementspeed when holding a shield. Yes thats a huge buff and abolutly needed as well.

Love the rein gameplay from Flats always. What if rein converted his barrier into shields while charging. I think thatd be cool, and give him the ability to chose between shielding off his team and getting in close

[@Tropicalstorm4-pg6kh]

I would love to see that change and I'm curious if would be broken

[@bright_and_breezy-n2e]

@IsaiahNeal-pg6kh it'd definitely be good, maybe it could cap at a certain amount of shields, but I think it'd be balanced since he's trading barrier health for a safer charge

[@Deusaga]

They just need to remove the slowdown while he shields. IMO that's all he needs, would be a massive buff. It's not needed at all in 5v5 when all the new tanks are 'do everything' tanks.

[@bright_and_breezy-n2e]

@Klyttorius That could work too, I think the Shield on conversion on pin would be a Shiney new toy, but I think your idea works too. Ultimately I believe he just needs a way to trade some of his defensive power for offensive power without making it broken, so I thought to make him be able to use his resource (his barrier) as a trade off for better aggression
