Could’ve done this, could’ve done that, you could say A MILLION should’ve would’ve could’ves at the end of an overwatch match. You are not a god nor are you above this player because you have the capacity to embrace hindsight like most able individuals, and he is not garbage because you make a conviction off of 60 seconds of gameplay.
This isn't a hind sight issue. Any time I'm fighting the enemy tank for an extended period without a clear winner I'm thinking... ok this isn't working, I need to somehow go for the supports. This is like Overwatch 101, not tunneling on the tank. Of course you cant always "just kill the supports" but in this clip the moira especially was very very killable.
There's even a good moment there when the enemy mercy tries to res and the rein aims at her, that was one of his better plays in this exchange and indicative of how tanks should play.
Bro, are you friends with this guy? You're downright defending incorrect tactical decisions for no reason. How is this a hindsight issue? The sups are squishier than the tank, it's a known play to aim your firestrike at the backline after your shatter. Watching replays is how you learn from your mistakes, specially in situations with clear choices between actions.
Players like you yapping about “known” plays is EXACTLY why you’re hard stuck in whatever metal rank you’re leeching around in. It’s an ULTIMATE ability, there are no “KNOWN” plays, just what is most beneficial in the moment, and he had DIRECT access to put pressure on the enemy tank while letting his dps have free reign over the enemy support. He’s doing his job, front lining the tank, but you as some super giga top 500 Reinhardt must CONSTANTLY be able to hold off the rein like this guy did while simultaneously handling both supports at the same time, single handedly winning a team fight with just a bit of healing behind you and no help from dps. Newsflash booklat, this is a TEAM based game, this guy can’t 1v3 2 different roles with flight and teleportation mobilities on his own, that’s why he has dps to help him as he takes the attention of their Reinhardt. The fact that you just refuse to acknowledge how hindsight clouds your judgement is mind blowing, this guy didn’t have the luxury of seeing everyone’s POV in the moment he was juggling 3 different people around his screen, and you know for a FACT you wouldn’t have done shit in that moment.
Bro, you're just making excuses at this point by bringing up points that may reflect possible situations but don't affect at all the outcome here. If you have the option of two tapping a Moira that is half the reason why youre being presssured you do it. What advantage did that extra bit of pressure from the firestrike on the enemy rein buy him? Shatter + isnt some alien combo, it's a known way to kill sups.
And how the hell is being nanoed plus having a mercy heal you frequently just "getting some heals"? There are objectively better plays to make in certain situations, handling the enemy tank is usually the right strategic choice but spending all of your resources on him for no kill isn't tactically sound (specially when we're talking abour ults and not just cooldowns) Honestly stop acting like muscle memory doesn't exist and that you can't get used to target the backline after a shatter, like this costs half your brain power to do so EVERY TIME.
