There was an annoying Lucio last night on the other team who literally was just wall-riding all around and on the Payload to stop its movement and my team could just not kill this guy.
I was Reinhardt (and the only Tank) so I had little available to me since I still had to shield my team, but I was shocked because he would just dance around it constantly healing and nobody was doing much to kill him.

Thanks for ideas. Now to go troll people.

Ive started using Bastion unironically more so i hope to get up with him.

That was what my last loot box contained too I think.

That feel when you finally get a purple in the loot box.... only for it to be a fucking Bastion skin.
No doubt it worked and honestly it was impressive to be able to maintain that for minutes sometimes (I'm on PS4 too) -- and also he would constantly just blast me back to get me away from the Payload, even when I had my shield up.
This session has been awful. I was doing Nepals and my team had 3 Meis, 1 Bastion and a healer whilst I played as Reaper. So fucking frustrating knowing before you even start the game that it's a lost cause. I genuinely don't understand how people are this stupid.
Randoms are ruining my experience... Anyone from PS4 gaf that can save me?

Since release I feel like i'm dying near instantly in battles now compared to being hit and surviving to find health, everyone on pc is getting better and as a result everyone dies a lot faster.
Then of course you have widowmaker and her extremely OP sniper (when in good hands)
I just feel like everything is slightly too strong now and it's annoying me.

I disagree with almost all of this except the afraid to melee bit. Too many people think Reinhardt is just about shielding and anything he does that isn't about shielding teammates is wrong/weak/whatever. Simply isn't true.
There is another way to play Reinhardt. Try playing him like Winston for a couple rounds.
Instead of jump you have charge, a charge that will 1-hit most pinned targets while stunning heavier ones, leaving them vulnerable to a finisher.
Instead of non-moving bubble shield you have a shield wall with no cooldown that you can take/place anywhere.
Instead of an ult that makes people run away you have an ult that knocks them down instantly allowing you to kill anybody knocked down while they're defenseless.
Instead of a short range low damage electric drain you have an infinite range 100 damage fire blast.
I don't know the damage of hammer vs. arm swing?
Played like a Winston makes him a lot more fun, try it some time. There is a time to be a defensive bulwark and a time to be a rampaging force of chaos. Good Reinhardts know when to switch from one mode to the other.
I find him hard to play as well. I might need to rebind his fan button. L1 is a weird button to use it. Gonna see if that's better for me.

I was a Reinhardt main as far as tanks go until I started messing around with Roadhog. He's a blast to play and hooking people out of their ults is awesome. I'm also usually gold in eliminations and objective time (Reinhardt is usually just objective time) so I feel like I'm contributing more.

False advertising!
Though I did get a Legendary skin drop for Reinhardt, who I often play, but that's neither here nor there..
First, I personally love the OT title.
Next, I didn't play during beta, but when my buddy outside of GAF started playing, I knew I had to give it a try. Boy am I glad I did!!
Lastly. Lucio >>>>>>
Can't stop won't stop ;-)
I found all the best McCree players actually sneak around the map and ambush people. This includes using his Ultimate. I thought sneaky Reapers were bad but sneaky McCrees are worse. Their ability to stun behind you and then fan hammer is so bad.
It's a tactic that works very well. I did the same on Route-66 after my team's Reinhardt and Pharah died leaving me by myself. Just hopped around switching between speed and heal boost climbing over the payload to stop McCree and Hanzo from hitting me. And if they got too close I'd alt-fire to give myself some space.
Bullshit.

I disagree with most of this, but you already knew that
Charge works when targets aren't looking for you. When they see you, unless they're distracted the moment you put your head down they can jump away very easily and avoid the pin. Then you're miles away from your teammate's firelines, out of position, etc.
Yes you have a shield, but you can't do anything with it up. Putting it up without support gives you time to move around/retreat, but little else except for a distraction until people crawl over you in small groups.
Ult I don't have a comment on, it's good in a lot of ways.
Fireblast is the easiest thing in the world to dodge unless someone hits you from behind.
Sure, you can play other ways, and should switch it up, tho, but even an aggressive Reinhardt is no Winston. That said, spurts of aggression are a good idea sometimes with 500 health and dat hammer.
It just won't win you a match most of the time without support. Smart pushes with shield up in the boring way will.

As someone who plays one of those annoying bunny-hopping Lucios (and, to be fair, not a ton of Reinhardt), I feel like if this happens to you in the future, you're okay to break out your hammer. If you get two good swipes in quickly, that Lucio is toast. If nothing else, you get him off your payload for a bit.

They need a character with an invisible camo super. Go semi invisible predator style for 10 seconds. But firing your weapon obviously makes it easier to spot you since people can trace the bullet tracers.
It would also be cool to have a healer that worked via supply drops. Dropping health packs and armor, more effective than other healers but the supply drops take more time.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
yup, only played a few matches where I encountered really good Widows on PS4. I would usually be able to counter them with another Widow or Pharah.

So happy Mcree is getting nerfed. His combo is just too OP.
Not even semi invisible
If I can't spot it I don't want it.
If semi-invisible means I can still see it. I'm fine.

Mmm, when you win a Gibraltar payload main tanking as DVa.
Though I did switch to Winston for the final few meters because you just need a bit more chaos in the final push.

I got white, purple, blue blue for my latest one.

Also got enough cash for an epic and got sharkbait immediately.

Why do I hear people (casters) pronouncing Gibraltar with the r but the announcer doesn't?

I've found the best way to play is somewhere in the middle of both your suggestions.
Most people do play him way to passively, but hes no Winston. Charging off by yourself is the quickest way to get dead.
I tried often, haha. Whenever I felt safe to drop the shield I would and did manage to kill him a few times but more often the hammer is too slow in terms of DPS for a Lucio that is healing and can move out of range quickly. He was very slippery.
Mostly it was just my team who seemed to not realize what was happening as they were too busy flanking whereas I was at the Payload the whole time. I probably should have switched to another character as my team wasn't supporting my Reinhardty anyway.

He's actually pretty good when you do more than park your butt in one spot in turret mode.

Shes so easy to snipe with. I suck at being a sniper, but even with Widow I'm racking up instant kills left and right cause the game is so generous with the hit detection/windows it feels like. Im on PC and it's one of the easiest snipers I've ever seen in a game.
