Wall is useful to block off defenders, specially snipers and turrets.

Depends, but yes. Ice wall turret encampments, annoy the shit out of the defending team trying to get around your Reinhardt.
Mei doesn't counter either of those heroes.

Hmm, good to know. That's still crazy good though. Bummer you lost the other.
I think his Ult works like a Cone, I haven't really paid too much attention to it since I usually use it if there's multiple enemies in front of me and I can get a good charge off on them. It works to keep enemies in place for a charge or for interrupting, especially other ults.
Edit: Also this one isn't off a cliff. I lost the other one I had
McCree Symmetra Reaper
Pharah can fly over Reinhardt's Shield, but she feeds damage to Zarya really easy

How do I get Blizzard's matchmaking to chill out? Last two days have just been packed with brutal crushing defeats.
I somehow managed to regain the #2 spot on the D.Va PS4 leaderboard, for now anyway.
After using nothing but D.Va for about 55 hours, I'd say the only character that can truly give me a tough time is Zarya. Some of the others can be a nuisance at times, but I can hold my own against them in the vast majority of cases.

At this point the game is just punking me
Against a good group where we are getting our asses kicked and cannot move the payload, I switch over to Reaper.
Teleport to Roof, jump behind the icewall killing the entire team and turrets with ult, which allows us to get to the check point with under 10 seconds left (still lost sadly)
POTG, Bastion in a corner killing 3 people ; (
On a positive note, 2nd time I have used Reaper and now realize the awesomeness contained
On a related note, it did make the highlight real and I wanted to show my kid. How do you fraking upload it to the PS4? Hit the media button to upload but it doesn't start any kind of recording GUI

Certainly not Zarya, but I've frozen the ass of every Reinhardt I came across so far
I'm unlikely to kill it by myself if he's full life so it's not exactly a counter I guess.
I actually pushed it pretty damn far bc nobody was even remotely near it most of the time
and when the enemy came nearby, they shot at me a few times, and then, guess what, let me go to go run after the rest of my team in narnia somewhere.
I made it to the the end of the map, and then they just blockaded me with two mercy's while my team was nowhere to be found lmao
It's one thing if your teammates don't care but when even the enemy is like w/e it gets kind of disheartening

Pharah's good for both, as long as you keep off the ground and pick your landing spots well so that they can't get in close. Flying up and over Reinhardt's shield forces him to divide attention between you and the attackers in front of him, and neither of Zarya's attacks are good at hitting you in the air.
Yeah they go away if you exit the game. Honestly I wish there was a way to save some of the better plays you have on PC without using outside capture programs.
Edit: Also I guess I knoced that Junkrat off the Cliff to his death if you look real closely.
It's a big perch.
Alright fine, I'll go play Mei. I'll throw up some of my sick walls.

Any character with high enough mobility can flank Reinhardt, and he quickly becomes super vulnerable when surrounded.
I mostly play as Zarya and I'll say the character that gives me the most trouble is Mei or another Zarya
Reinhardt is SO satisfying:

You can freeze Reinhardt sure, but you're not going to kill him. If he's alone with a Mei he should just swing his hammer, once he forces the ice block she has no real chance unless he's super low HP but for that to happen he would have been low to begin with.

there wasn't a pc patch put out today right? my frames have been dropping way more today than usual for some reason.

Admit it, you're just gonna wall off the snipers to force them to move forward.
Which is actually a good idea.
Reinhardt is SO satisfying:
That skin is so badass
Wow, she really is helping
You'd be surprised.
reinhardt himself is actually pretty decent at stopping holed up reinhardts
best case scenario you tag him with your charge, he will probably always give up his position or drop his shield from a charge, melee is good against him, etc.
also I'm pretty sure his fire thing has some sort of good interaction against shield, i dont remember if it's aoe dmg or if it just hits through

Nah, I wall off bastion, torbs and goddamn junkrats.
This is possibly the best thing I've ever heard. I'm totally sold on Mei now after hating her since the Beta.
Ahahaha, nothing more satisfying than killing a Tracer, especially annoying ones that bait the Flashbang with their goddamn Recall. That move is so infuriating.
No, I really wouldn't. Mei is my most played character.
Reinhardt is SO satisfying:
I could have sworn Reinhardt's shield blocked another Reinhardt's ultimate. Guess not. What does block it then? I know there's been two or three times were I've had 3+ people in front of me and trigger the ultimate but nothing happen. No one fell down or took damage.

I feel like randoms never give enough credit to Symmetra. It doesn't matter if you killed 15 enemies with her turrets or your teleporter was up the 50% of the time, they will always vote for the person with the better kill streak.

Ok guys, we get it. PUG games suck. Stop complaining non stop about it. Either don't play pugs or suck it up and deal with it.
Reinhardt is SO satisfying:
You got lucky as hell by being so close to the enemy Reinhardt because normally his shield can stop Reinhardt's ultimate.

Reinhardt is SO satisfying:
wow thats so lucky reinhardt shield blocks earthshatter and you werent even clipping through his shield that it would register behind it.
Reinhardt is SO satisfying:

Nah man fuck junkrats. A good junkrat is way more annoying than mei, bastion, torb, mccree or any of the meme characters that people hate.
You know how people hate mei freezing them? That's how I feel whenever I step on his steel trap.
Pretty much. I got 7 votes once when I got a Symmetra play of the game but other than that yeah no one seems to care haha. But that's okay I love playing her.

It blocks everything except Melee attacks, Reinhardt Charge, Reinhardt's Ultimate, Reinhardt's Right click, and Symmetra's right-click. I think there is one more but I can't remember it.

Holy shit. Just got on the Lucio train. Definitely my new favourite character.

She's a support, so her kills feed isn't generally impressive enough to merit a vote, but she's also Symmetra, so she doesn't have the massive visible healing factor.
It is what it is.

McCree can flashbang above it.
I was close enough for the hammer to connect behind the shield.
