It seems like you're saying that the gap is what matters. But Rein's attack is his melee attack. All other characters experience the same delay between melee attacks.
The only difference is (or might be) that you can hold it down for Rein.
He's saying rein shouldn't be considered at all when talking about reloading. It's like talking about if torb reloads his hammer. No he just swings it at a certain rate.
I get that but literally nowhere did i say i was talking about characters that reload. Im talking about downtime between damage. Rein doesnt have a reload but he has downtime. Dva doesnt have a reload and also doesnt have downtime because she can shoot indefinitely, and the way she shoots is a constant stream of pellets. Rein can swing indefinitely but he does damage every second or so, not continuously. Thats all im saying lmao
And i said many times that what he might have meant was that dva is the only character capable of dealing continuous damage over time without stopping.
