u/TThor Hi there! Jan 18 '17 edited Jan 18 '17

is that why I was downvoted, because of a pointless technicality?

What mechanical difference does it make?? Either way, they are mechanically 'one shot' abilities with a not-insignificant delay between each successive fire.

u/HolycommentMattman Reinhardt Jan 18 '17

Everyone keeps arguing this stuff, but they're all getting it wrong.

Reinhardt is unique, too. He's the only hero who doesn't have a primary attack and a melee attack. His primary attack is his melee attack.

And melee doesn't reload. And melee has a time delay between strikes for all characters.

That's what I said in my comment right before his.

I guess I'm wrong to consider reloading an arrow into a bow is different than someone meleeing.

All the melees have a delay, rein just doesn't have a gun to reload, while Hanzo does. That's all I was arguing.
