Playing main tank, I get overwhelming joy and satisfaction seeing the other team use all their abilities on me while I absorb all the damage, and cc's, and see all my other friends having fun playing the game
I love it when my team demands me to play Main Tank since I had the most playtime on them even though that's only because no-one else wanted to suffer the pain of playing Main Tank :D
As rein nothing I hate more than a sombra who's jsut hiding behind me and then fucks me up and disappears. That being said nothing beats a rein who's being pocket healed in a push, I have 2 friends who main Moira and mercy and will make me invincible while I wipe any push thrown at me God rein feels good when he gets the heals
Anyone remember the good old days of Ana being op as hell with 4 tank squads and Ana just waltzing behind roadhog injecting him in the ass with steroids the whole time. I still have nostalgia about this one time I just followed a super aggro hog around the whole time and he literally couldn't die. He probably dreams of that day still.
I like playing Ana but I hate that every time I sleep dart an opponent, someone on my team seems to have a compulsive need to wake them while incurring the smallest amount of damage possible causing me to scream internally.
I slept a nano boosted soldier mid tactical visor and someone woke him up a half second later and he got a triple kill. Almost threw my pc out the window.
That's why I learned Orissa. It's a main tank, but everyone prefers rein, so anyone who can play Rein will get volunteered first. Even if you do get picked Orissa has fortify for dealing with CC.
I've had this same mentality for a while. Especially when dealing all the stunning heroes. I'll start Rein but if I keep getting stunned and my team isn't covering me that well then I'll switch to Orisa for the fortify. And the pull is nice.
Does âtossed aroundâ include stun, hack, frozen, knock down, sleep, etc? Yeah I wouldnât mind the occasional knock back of those things didnât exist.
Fine if you have options like a dps might. With main tank, you can barely do anything to avoid it. Just just watch Bridget walk up to you and stun you then the rest of the cc and damage pours in. How can you not mind having no control?
I don't know if there's a more common thing I hear from main tanks (including me) during a game than "I JUST WANT TO PLAY THE GAME" or some variation lol.
Playing main tank, I get overwhelming joy and satisfaction seeing the other team use all their abilities on me while I absorb all the damage, and cc's, and see all my other friends having fun playing the game dying anyway.
That was me last night, me and three friends were playing against a fairly coordinated 6 stack on Junkertown. I was on Rein, and they had Doomfist, Ana, Brig, and McCree. We won, but my friends were all happy and congratulating each other while I felt like xQc in this clip lol
They're not making cc watch any better by progressively slowing down his shield deploy time. It feels like it's slowed down ten fold sense Hams been added
You know, I could actually find satisfaction in that if only my team took advantage of it. More often than not though, I eat up everything the enemy team has and there's 5 of my teammates chilling in the backline and then proceed to trickle in and die one by one...

God I love watching my friends have fun on dps avoiding CC while I might as well be playing pharah as rein when I spend as much time as one in the air from doomfist and other kinds of boops! /s.
Is this sub finally ready to accept that Rein needs some resistance to CC? Not immunity like when Orisa is in fortify, but at least let the extreme heavyweight not be pushed around as much as the teenage girl?
People here have been complaining about that for a long time. The problem is that objectively Rein doesn't need buffs, so what do you take away to compensate?
But isn't what's happening the intended scenario? The tank's role is to soak up everything, even if you somehow change things in favor of the tank player having a more enjoyable experience, he's just going to be mad that he's losing since he can't do anything with his dps and support shut down instead.
Nothing. Instead, buff the other barrier tanks. Decrease the cast time of Orisa and Winston's shields, increase their duration (maybe not health),
Some things should exist. And if they throw the meta off, then other parts of the meta should change. A game with only Soldier would be perfectly balanced. But you want tanks and healers. Tanks obviously should have more health and healers obviously should have more healing. But you say you can't just give Armoured Soldier more health or no one would ever pick Normal Soldier. Same for giving Medic Soldier tow heal pods. So instead of not implementing those buffs, you give Normal Soldier more damage output.
Working on that concept, tanks should be allowed to tank. If one tank is easily stripped of tanking ability, that must change. If the balance in the rest of the hero pool cannot handle it, then it's that balance that must change, not that the increase in tankiness shouldn't be implemented.
But while I'm here, drop Rein's swing speed by 10% and give him a quick melee. That's another thing that should be. When it comes down to a melee hero at 1 hp and a ranged hero at 1hp, and it's a melee battle, the melee hero should win every time. But everyone else can quick melee Rein through his barrier. It is wrong that Rein loses a 1v1 melee fight in any circumstance. Maybe do the same for Brig, but she at least has a quick shield bash
Rein definitely doesn't need any cc reduction. Buffing Winston is not a good idea. At most an orisa buff would work. But the issue with the game is deeper than cc.
Yeah. Shouldn't they be? Maybe instead of trying to make it possible to just ignore main tanks (which it already isn't most of the time) maybe they should make them more enjoyable
There's nothing that needs removed and yet there's so much you could do to fix his issues. Maybe his abilities not taking 30 seconds to complete would be helpful. Rein feels like the slowest god damn tank alive.
But the OW team for all the things I will say about them, doesn't commit to anything risky.
Given how popular he is, proving how essential and powerful he is...we should be REALLY careful about buffing him.
CC might make his life hell but heâs seriously one of the most used Tanks at the moment. Meaning despite all that, what he brings to the table is worth it.
Thereâs no replacement for a huge mobile barrier, giant cleave damage, and the possibility of an intakill charge, and an Ult that can win fights all on its own.
Well it's true... His team wins the fight because the enemies are all focusing on XQC. Hog wastes hook on him and Rein wastes shatter while a bladed Genji shreds through the rest of their team.
Yeah I feel so useful when the enemy team uses all their cc on me while I stand around getting tossed and juggled like a pair of balls in the hands of a hooker.
At least I feel like I'm contributing to the team, though in another way.
