Shadder is the stereotypical whining genji moonmoon emote

he's fucking unbearable to watch

Moon was actually kinda unbearable to watch today, he made a Genji-only smurf and tried to be humorous by whining the whole time, but it was just annoying. I want dad back, not his shitty brother.

I haven't watched Moons stream since he decided to be a DPS main and REEEEd everytime someone wouldnt let him be dps

I saw a love story :)

Thanks. You're master on your main right? What's your PSN again, think I got you added. Might do placements on it soon using Sombra.

Low master last season, should be placed mid-diamond in this one. Yeah I have you as a friend, we played a few games together before. Will only play in that account in a month or so, gonna add you in the new one.

I saw a love story :)

Bet it ends with an icicle in someone's head.
 
I'm trying to become a good Rein.

Guys, it's hard to Rein.

People don't stand behind your shield. ;_;

It's actually really hard to be a good Rein.

I give my team two minutes max to get behind my shield or on defense two "team" holds, if it doesn't happen I switch out. Depending on the level of incompetence (i.e. Soldier runs IN FRONT OF THE SHIELD AND DIES EVERY TIME), I will either do Zarya/Winston or anyone on DPS. Staying as Rein or going support will only end in heartache.

I thought everyone knows to stand behind shield by now. Personally I hate Reins who just stand there with shield up, swing and get ult ffs.

dps main streams are boring to watch unless its like specific positioning dps heroes like mei, pharah or junkrat


hitscan is so fucking boring to watch

It is choke points and bad Ana players.

I hate it when we have tanks that don't push, the worst ones.

It is weird (not really). When I am Rein and I push, they just watch me die or run back with a broken shield. When I am flanking and trying to push with Rein, I find him at the choke point with the team; I spam "group up" when I make it to a side route after the choke but nope fuck you and your meta comp tactics.

Solution: find people who have mics. Just call before you do it. I tried the chat and explained the strategy once in a comp game in spawn, but people are still hesitant and too used to getting owned at choke points. That is low-mid MMR OW for you.

Roadhog somehow thought that he could kill a bastion while he was inside the spawn lol



Congrats on achieving master :)

The shimada game from earlier. Then when we are losing by far, then switch, the Zarya has the nerve to send tilt thanks! when her teammates arent adjusting

pretty easy to be a decent/mediocre Rein

top tier involves extreme skill and mechanics

you don't have to be great to play a decent Rein, but absolutely legit Reins stand out and take serious serious serious skill to pull off

Never ever charge. Unbind the key.

Make sure to press forward when a teammate is over extended, bring him back safely.

What? Not sure if srs

Rein should use charge to pick off lonesome squishes at every single opportunity available at all times, always, forever. especially supports

what the fuck are you talking about

Is solo comp just complete shit on PS4 this season? Wtf happened.

It's been working out pretty well for me SR wise but last night I ended up having to block about a dozen people on PSN with incredibly shitty attitudes.

I can handle the usual exasperated "Why do I keep losing?" guy but these guys were just actively antagonizing everyone on the team from the moment the match started.

we were down one man for 3/4th of a koth match and a soldier blamed the loss solely me due to my hero pick. said we had no tanks despite having both a winston (my pick) and roadhog and kept asking for me to switch to rein. nope, me picking winston is the reason we lost when our mercy disconnected after the first round.

it's reason like these that i find comp to be so fascinating. i'm not even mad

What about to charge back to your team?
Yeah, that and charging out of your spawn.

Charging is great if you can get your team to commit to it. It is a great initiator.

Especially if the enemy has a Rein.

It's definitely the strangest season so far for me as a solo player. I've lost so many games I dropped to 2700 at one point. I had a season high of 3970 last season, so obviously I don't belong in games with golds and plats, but here I am. I get 3-4 gold medals per game, but still lose, lol. I think I managed to string enough yesterday to get back above 3000, but damn.

I had one particularly bad dip after gaining master this season. What helped me was to not expect team mates to do the things you see higher level counterparts do and if you get a good group... stay with them for a few and make the most of it. Voice chat helps a lot, give basic call outs and explain focus fire because some have no idea of that aspect of the game and will shoot whomever is closest.

It can be so brutal and out of your control though. Hang in there.

Charge creates space. Strongest ability in the game imo.
Charge=feeding. It will literally decide who wins or loses. Easy to dodge, easy to annihilate the reindhart.

You're joking, right?

Nothing worse than passive (and solo) tanks.

Absolutely not. A passive rein is most certainly the correct way to play him. Try charging and you'll be dead instantly. He moves in a straight line. I can almost one clip him with soldier.

Depends. If you charge into the enemy team or too far you die. If you charge a small distance and get a kill off of it you can win the fight off of that. It has its uses but is hard to use properly.

i love dude calling others silver and then saying reinhardt charge is useless

like charge isnt the entirety of breaking an enemy rein defense. too much, man.

It's very situational. And more often than not, people will get killed using it. Using it to get rid of a reindhart protecting a black hole with his shield is ok, but even then, if your team doesn't follow it up properly, he can easily die.

No you read incorrectly, I called people silvers for saying that charge should be used on cooldown.

Also no it's not. Ana can counter it immediately, or roadhog. Never mind that he can die instantly from normal fire.
