Oh, my number one thought in solo queues is usually, 'why aren't you going in with me?' to healers. Mercy, if I'm 76, you can damage boost mad and we can murder everything. If someone tries to get on you, I can murder them instantly. Just stick with me on my ult.

Actually on attack a Rein that pokes until about half the team on defense goes down then leading the team push with a charge is great if the whole team is right on his tail when he heads into the point.
In higher level games, we roll as a group of 6. The second a pick happens and we're 6v5 everybody just dives.
In lower level games I feel like I can get a double kill for our picks and go in while our tanks are still fucking around with a Genji or something way back.
Also a lot of people on defense keep setting up really far up. I say something like "hey this is really far up, they'll just respawn and kill you eventually" and I get back "well we can't just let them push the cart."
It is really crazy how different some people are playing right now.
The second a single defender goes down it is probably time to hold down W.

Not at the gate. You get incredibly limited space, you give up the high ground, and you give up too much space that the defense team can control.
The best reinhardts know to lead the team through to a more advantageous position.
Take numbani for example. The main lane to point A is honestly the worst starting point for you to start a team fight. Good teams go for the high ground and limit the number of points the defenders can attack them from.

Precisely!
But god, there are so many people who just poke from the gate all day and is unable to finish anyone off because it's so much easier for the defenders to go for heals when that's all you're doing.

aka on Hanamura speedboost and go left
Yeah speedboost is the only way a Rein can get past the gate without it going down in like 3 seconds.
Rein speedboosted, Rein and Lucio break through the Hanamura gate, gets on the point, watches in horror as the entire enemy team turns around and rushes Rein and Lucio while a single enemy Genji or Tracer distracts the rest of your team at the gate and instead of coming in for free kills to back you up, they chase like headless chickens outside.

Finally did it.
Made it to 65
No more stress back to QP.

Ish. Attackers can win a fight with damage/picks/etc at the gate enough to get Rein and other people through the gate. With Lucio speedboost there's no reason to do that much, you just go left behind a shield and get high ground and fight elsewhere.
Sometimes its not worth it to play as Reinhardt. Whats the point of being the shield when there are no teammates behind you backing you up but instead seperate doing their own agenda? I hate it when people say there is no tank, somebody pick/switch to a tank but they don't support the tank.

I feel like every Hanamura match I play, my team is absolutely incompetent with attack. The door is not that hard to push through.

The rumored reinhardt castle map probably.
Yeah but if you german the pronunciation and map name is terrible, i really hope that was just some test and the map isn't called "Eichenwald".

Gone next season!
Yeah, thank God.
Just played KoTH with a guy who played Symmetra the whole match even though he was contributing nothing. WHY!?

Have blizzard said anything about increaing the ranked level limit? I think it should atleast be double what it is now going by my matches with people in placement.
Chances are your teammates feel the same ;p
I bet they do, especially since I use mic and the chat presets to you know, actually communicate.
All time low of 42 thanks to the internet dying in a game we were heading for a win in.

I feel sad that i can't grind out more cp as the season is ending. Just bad timing really. Coming back at 10-11 pm just makes ranked too much of a commitment for an hour or so of play.
Hopefully they reduce the time commitment of ranked next season.

So basically it's annoying to lose?
Not really, I was just in a solo q where my group were all randoms and we faced a group of 4 and 2. MM for solo is bad.

On console it will regularly put a full solo queue against 2 different groups

It's just inconsistent. And with the fact that it puts solo players in the same queues as full groups means that it's close to impossible to make it consistent considering how many players there are.

Happens all the time. Wonky MM makes solo q pretty random.
Yeah well season ends soon, better luck next time.

It's horrible. I started at 57 and from there I dropped, nonstop, to 39. I've managed to claw my way up to 47 but I've decided to call it quits for this season and go back to having fun in Quick Play.
The losses just didn't stop at one point. Soul destroying.
And yet lately I'm always grouped with teams when playing solo.

If you still wanna group up i heard that whirlpool is a good place to search for a group.
Or get it on pc. I know a fair few ozzies to team up with.
Definitely happened to me a few times
