His play style only works when there are comms. Nothing wrong with that, but in metal ranks there is zero comms so he is just going to get left out to dry in all of his games. He needs to have a little more caution to his own self-preservation. He won't have the lucio speeding him out and the bap always using the immortality correctly in plat. That's why he's stuck.

[@Gr0ot]

Your analogy kind of makes no sense given he’s playing in the metal ranks currently with no comms. So the higher he gets and there are comms the better it’s going to be for him. Apply logic, read back your message, and see what you said. Maybe you phrased it wrong, but overall…you made no sense.

@@Gr0ot you're both correct what he's saying is that lower ranks don't comm at all and don't listen to you higher ranks will his playstyle benefits higher ranks but currently he's in a low rank since he's in a low rank in the first place and doesn't change his playstyle his teammates are the roadblock itself preventing him from doing anything

You need a tank with high mobility on numbani defence because your supports are probably going to want to spread across the high ground and the tank needs to be able to peel for them. If the tank can’t move between point and high ground quickly, the moment the enemy team push the tank to drop, the supports are vulnerable.

Honestly it looked like he got carried a bit that first game. He made some great plays and diff'd the other Rein in parts but not enough to win like that. I love aggro Reins but let's not pretend they aren't boom/bust. His playstyle fits Cloudy probably more so than any other content creator I've seen so he should pay attention when Cloudy goes full aggro and when Cloudy holds/retreats. Cloudy plays a smart aggro playstyle. And while this guy also appears to be smart it looks like aggro leads the charge more times than not. He's got a playstyle you can easily punish. As the video went on I could predict his moves very reliably. Once he gets that under control I think he has the ability to not only climb but climb fast.

[@commanderduck7840]

cardboard rein

[@Real_MisterSir]

The sole thing keeping this guy from climbing, is discipline. And mind, many people correlate discipline with playing more defensive - but discipline at its core is all about understanding priority and value. His playstyle is great for ladder play and climbing, and what he needs is the mental discipline of prioritizing what value to aggressively pursue. For example, discipline of paying attention to enemy intentions ahead of team fights, so he doesn't get walled by Mei every fight and his Bap has to waste lamp early. Discipline to check enemy Rein position and ult track, so he isn't miles deep in the enemy team 1v5 leaving his entire backline open for ez enemy shatter, etc. Discipline of understanding how to be aggro when he doesn't have a Masters lvl Lucio player speeding him around and also actively comming to tell their intend 24/7. All of this he should be able to accomplish on his own, in a lobby of no comms, with subpar team mates. He must have the discipline to know what value to pursue and when to do it. High effort comms filled custom lobbies like this one will always provide a far better foundation for good plays than a random rng rank lobby ever could. But it's the rng rank lobby he's trying to climb from, not the custom perfect setup one.

[@shanewinn1642]

I think this guy just had really good supports in the first game. I think they could make it to diamond but unless they start playing more like a tank I don't see them progressing much further.

[@aceofpurity]

Yeah, he did well on kings row because a long sighted Map less Flankers + supports who can handle themselves But on numbani he completely let's a dva kill his supports and not looking back, he dives and feeds. Last fight doesnt use ult, on lijiang he wastes ult. Doesn't use sheild or pin on ulting reaper just dies and his teammates stuck without him, hyperfocuses on kills doesn't look back to see if team needs him

[@pr1sma826]

​@@aceofpuritywith that mentality that u just described, i would imagine he could be a monster with a dive tank like doom, ball, dva, etc the problem is that him playing rein is a handicap in the sense that team comps around rein are more team cooperatively focused and not so much let the tank dive in and pick off a straying dps or support, i share the same opinion as u but to me its the tank specifically that doesnt match his mentality

[@salem1451]

As a Rein main myself it is obvious that this Reinhardt player has good mechanics and understanding of Rein's playstyle. He held his own well in the mirror against his masters counterpart. The problem occurs when we see him on maps that do not favor Rein. It appears that his hero pool is lacking and that will sadly keep him in lower ranks even if his *Reinhardt play* is deserving of a higher rank. In a game where there is only 1 tank flexibility is king. It doesn't matter if your winrate on king's row and Lijang are 90% if you're going to be queuing into an insta-loss everytime you land on Numbani and Gibraltar.

[@nicolasgagnon8738]

I'm not sure he deserves masters with his rein plays. The first thing I noticed is he doesnt really know how to swing optimally. As a masters rein main, he never jiggled his camera on the left and the right to be able to reach further. That's the biggest give away he doesnt deserve a masters rank even with his rein plays. If I saw him in my games I would know it would be a win just by looking at his lack of "jiggling" (lmao)

His biggest issue is that because he's stuck in Platinum, he can abuse aggressive gameplay in lobbies that generally don't expect tanks to be that aggressive. He carried that over in game 1 but to his favour. The other games, he got diffed hard by the opposing tank and DPS. KAKS lacks adaptability. The enemy team knew to switch things up but he kept forcing Reinhardt and it ended up being his downfall. If he can just learn to swap and adapt where needed and combine that with his game-sense, he could easily hit Masters.

He never got "diffed hard" by the other tank but yes he does lack adaptability. His rein deserves a higher rank but in general if he can't play other tanks he's stuck.

I really think the ping was hurting him more than originally thought. On Lijiang, for example, he had a lot of interesting charges that seemed like a whole second or two late. And on Numbani, I can't imagine why he would've deliberately NOT used his ult when demeched at the end of the round, so I think ping probably messed up the timing of hitting Q. I (NA) sometimes play with my EU friends, and the increased ping can sometimes really throw you off. Sometimes I just straight up don't queue dps when playing with EU people (I'm a support main and my dps is mid at best normally lmfao). This guy has amazing charisma and shot-calling, and paired really well with that Lucio on Kings Row (who had some amazing beats). I think his losses were a combination of the following: ping, team synergy diff (you're going to be hella lucky if you find a comp game with comms/teamwork like that Kings Row even once a week nowadays), and obviously map diff. Kings Row is favorable to Rein. Numbani is not. He should have gone Winton or something much sooner on Numbani, but tbh he probably gave himself and his team too much benefit of the doubt in being able to pull off that necessary rotation to high ground with Rein. Anyway I think he can climb 100%.

[@makispapa5867]

This is NOT solo queue, this rein is not meant to be Masters. He's Plat 1 tops. He charges in LOS of everyone taking a shittone of damage, his Baptiste might deserve Grandmaster to be fair because he saved him 1000 times. Same as Lucio. When 5 people are communicating and know your intent and understand it AND not second-guess it, then sure you're gonna have a great time. But try this in solo queue, he would be 4/18 with 6k damage max.

I'm curious, is it that in Plat because of his aggressive play style not many people he's getting on his team are not very good with an aggressive playstyle and unable to support Rein? I know I've been on teams with an aggressive Rein and we demolish the enemy team but then I get a team that can't handle pushing in with the Rein and are very passive. It also is a pain when they one trick and can't play heros according to the map. Like if you're stuck in an elo, playing 1 character, maybe it's time to learn more characters and adapt?

[@Ravitas3]

He got lucky that both team decided to play along him with a full brawl comp. In a regular queue, that will not happen frequently simply because some people like me aren't brawlers. On DPS, I play heroes like Cass, Soldier, and Hanzo. While on support, I play most of the time Ana, Baptiste and Kiri. If he play with people like me, that playstyle simply won't work. I certainly won't be in the ring brawling with him, and + this guy seems to not use his shield at all. Which is pretty bad considering I need temporary cover with these heroes. And this is coming from someone who is diamond 4 in both roles

I don't know why some people are saying he deserves to be higher than plat. If anything, this video proved he deserves his rank. Yeah, he did well on game one, but only because he had a good team and his supports constantly bailed him out when he got in sticky situations, especially Lucio. Look at the second game. Disastrous comms, wasted half the game playing Reinhardt, didn't even know what to do when he went Dva. And when he lost the first round, he barely tried and went Rein again. He has virtually no hero pool, of course that with this he'll never be able to adapt to the people in his ELO, and by extension, never climb. He deserves his rank.

​@@bbpoItergeistexcept they didn't. They all fit together like a puzzle. The aggressive rein is what makes space and allows the supports to do their job while the supports keep the tank up and help him shine.

@@Praedyths I’m just saying. The rein did good, but like how people said he “needed to shied,” he didn’t. His Lucio and bap were there. He did not actually have to use his shield much

[@freerider_piccolo]

​@@ryanmccarthy7572Especially since the enemy bastion on KR wasn't pressuring kaks very much. If you notice, there are times when the enemy rein couldn't play the game bc I was shredding him, and so kaks had all the space in the world without much use of his shield

[@mmilige]

I can definitely see why he was stuck in elo hell since most of the time he was to focus on him getting kills and not ensuring his team lasts the fight. His style requires good communication and a team capable of handling themselves without much tank defenses. I wouldn’t say he Carrie’s his games but rather limits the potential of his teammates.

Wasn’t this guy in the secret Smurf video ?

[@mikaileibrahim372]

Tbh i feel that his aggression is only permissible when he has those great heals. Good comms and atuff though, but he needs to shield more, def. Perhaps he gets too excited sometimes and whifs shattere

[@kimchiouazzani4699]

Not using shield and not swapping isnt the main issue. Positioning/ playing the objective and playing atound ennemies cooldowns is what you need to work on. Change your perspective that you need to catch kills to playing for space. Doing so will make you understand a lot better that you can commit/slowly push instead of afk at choke and then charge into them. By pressuring pushing to hold space will allow you to see clearly how easy it is to punish players using their cds being out of position. So simply put, play for space and dont waste your cooldowns. Your gameplay will look calmer and smooth. You will realize how you are getting kills without dying at all. Watch top1 rein getting there in challenge not using shield once. Its all about positioning and cooldown management

You're never doing these when I watch twitch, so I just watch here. Still good!

[@TheRealJayRican]

i wish ranked was like this all the time when people talk

[@Christian-q9s]

I read a comment “He shattered their ego” LOL

[@ThePaulodash]

He reminds me of bumper, the ex vancouver titans/runaway main tank

[@dewdadream]

I recently got into masters but never had a lucio/bap or ana i always got moira and mercy

[@fruicyjuit6243]

His supports are crazy

If I am always watching 3 weeks behind, then I'm always right on time!

That description was the best.
