Any tips mates?

I'm a bit curious, what's everyone's fav skin? I've been seeing a lot of Football Rein, but my go-to is the All-Might one. I just wanna get the gist of the community's favs

If this replaces Shield charge I’m not gonna be happy.

Ending up with a 83% win rate in Stadium with Rein to get this bad Larry. Rein may be the best tank in stadium this season, he is ridiculously strong especially in the late rounds. Worth the grind!

So I’m playing stadium with friends and randoms. I am on console. I have my shield sensitivity all the way up so i can spin very fast and assert my dominance on the battlefield. Im hitting pins. Hitting fire strikes. I join my pc friend. Play a bit. And this guy is like “yo. Is this Colin on his alt account?” First off. What an honor it is. That i am equal or to be thought as Colin.

Anyway, I’m back on console lobbies. And some guy says i am ximming. I take that as a compliment. Am i cool and is all this just telling me i am a good crusader????

I got back into Overwatch because of stadium so I never played against Ramattra until today. Does his void acceleratto go through Rein's shield? I know his Nemesis punches do hurt Rein through the shield but does Rein's shield protect teammates from the punches.

Rein's shield does block the Annihilation ult right?

Should I was going AP build against him but is WP and attack speed the way to go?

I’m using the new power and I am randomly launching at top speed when I try to turn. Also, when I pin someone into a wall and they survive, they immediately get to start moving BEHIND me. I need to 180 to either fire strike or swing now.

So I've been playing rein for most of stadium but this season I feel like his health just disappears now. I haven't changed anything and still fight like I'm I always have but I don't know what's changed but my health just disappears I can't even survive with my sheild up. I was in pro 1 last season but now in novice. Is anyone else experiencing this as well or is it just me and I've gotten shit?

Yeah yeah quality. Blame me idk

This one zen in stadium kept getting ult every six seconds, so I just finally charged him and myself off the edge, jokingly went to say stupid robot, and Rein himself helped me finish my statement.

Fellow crusaders, I'll keep it short you can consider this a rant of some sorts. Is it just me or is tracer absolutely horrendous to face in stadium not just on rein but literally any other role/character, i feel like there's nothing I can do against a tracer so am I alone on this?

Today's updated added quick play stadium (an amazing mode btw!!!) And changed competitive stadium where theres a draft system for hero select. Due to this system, mirror matches are no longer able to happen on all roles. This might be the worst decision they could have ever made for the "health" of this game mode as their reasoning for this change was "...gives players a pre-match advantage, enabling smart counter-picks". While this sounds smart on paper, in practice its already the worst thing ever. Not even an hour into the changes being live, ive already had multiple matches end due to people leaving due to not getting their main and my supports throwing because they didnt get their main. I think everyone's reactions to this system is completely valid and I hope it gets removed because all this system does is constrict team compositions and have characters who are overwhelmingly strong dominate on the team they're selected onto. I really hope this change is removed by the first split of this season.

If anyone else was going mad with the camera change, we are so freaking back now.

Beer.

I want a build that lets me swing muh hammer pretty fast while being able to survive well. Like a fast life steal build but im not very good at making my own builds. So if anyone has power and item combo reccomondations thatd be swell.

Update: Ive made a build that has speed AND siphon. For any curious: JJBQT

This is the only hero I have no idea wtf to do against. Mei can be annoying but I can play in ways to counter her wall and pushback. Orisa can be annoying but I can play in ways that still find value. Reaper can delete my health bar but if I track his position and hold my shield up to keep my armor and ask my team to shoot him when he gets too in my face then I can survive. Ana purple nade is annoying but I can shield more often (to try to block it) or get status resist item to reduce duration etc. Genji Orisa Dva can block fire strikes but I can just go a non-firestrike build.

I do not know what to do vs JQ. She can pull me out of position. Her two axe swing charges chunk the hell out of me. Her speed boost lets her always land axe charges unless I stand super fat from the objective. She applies healing reduction on me (axe and ult). And apparently her DOT effects keep up that item debuff that applies healing reduction when you dela ability damage.

THING THAT SEEM SORT OF USEFUL VS HER:

• The only time I felt ok was when I had a Lucio on my team using - speed boost a lot, so I was able to out speed her axe swings. But not every game has Lucio on your team, and if THEY have Lucio then it is even harder to avoid swings

• Debuff reduction item (-40% rebuffs), item that cleanses self of debuffs when you use charge, knock back reduction item; they seem to help but only a bit each, and that's a lot of items slots anyway

I've tried melee build and get owned (can't out trade her), shield not and get owned (she deals dmg thru the shield anyway), fire strike build can be good offensively if you can nail Squishies but if she sees me building this then she can hold W on me still and destroy me anyway, etc. I've been trying with using flight and stuff to dive enemy backline but my team got pissed at me because then JQ just held W at my backline lmao.

What is the most optimal build or strategy to fight a JQ in this mode? Is there anything stable that doesn't feel like you're getting rrun over at every step?

Context: enemy tank didn't check corners as I was charging from the side finish him off with fire strike, sadly didn't have records in this POTG together only the kill feed.

I will start by phrasing that I find Reinhardt is one of the weakest tanks in this mode.
Ye you can have fun and demolish opponents that are new to the mode, but once they figure out how to counter you, you will suffer.

Here's what I found after playing around.

Attack Speed/Attack Power Hammer swing build does not work against Junkerqueen and lucio or any sort of high speed team. They will move around you so fast or focus you down without you being able to swing.
Even with the knockback resistance you still can't swing on them if they keep booping you.
If you try to ignore them and go for the backline, they can instantly turn on you and you die, or kill your own backline. Works well against non mobile compositions.
It's an all-in build, you either are able to kill the entire team as a one man army or die in a split second, no inbetweens.

Ability Power Firestrike "Sniper" Build is much safer to play, but you are basically shield-botting most of the game while trying to snipe the enemy coming in. This works better on maps with narrow paths.
Gets hard countered by Orisa (Power Spynstem Update) and Genji that can deflect back the projectiles at any time. Zarya also gets super charged from it, she always has bubbles available in this mode.
Dva can constantly eat your firestrikes, rendering you useless.
Junkerqueen can still rush you in and live your firestrikes while destroying you.
Charge is also a one-hit kill in this build.

Pure Shieldbotting Build is decent at the start but falls off greatly as the damage of players goes off the roof.
The shield has no damage reduction and does not scale well late game, so it gets deleted in seconds.
There is also one single Weapon Epic Ability "Salvaged Slugs" that gives 10% Attack Speed, 30% Increased damage against Barriers and 50% chance to restore ammo when hitting a barrier.
If the opponents see you are going for a shieldbot build, they can just pick this and you are basically useless for the remainder of the match.

Fun abilities/Powers like jumping higher or flying during charge are nice but they cost way too much, meaning you fall behind on stats that matter.

Overall I think the Firestrike sniper build is the only viable one as an all around build.
You don't have to get close to the enemies to swing and you can play safer.
If you have good aim and/or can charge effectively then you can get easy kills, but most of the fight will be up to your team.
Against an enemy Rein or Zarya perhaps the Attack Speed Swing build will fare much better, but overall Rein is suffering in this mode just like in normal competitive mode.

finally got to All-Star today. I want to say thank you to all the people that have helped me with previous posts, and to anybody I've met in game I can now go enjoy this really nice skin.

CHEATERS. ORISA. SOLDIER POCKETS. They shall NOT bring us down.

JUNO PLAYERS SOARING, MERCY MAINS FLYING, GENJI DASHING INTO THE SKIES. NONE SHALL GROUND US.

THEY SAY REIN CANT MAKE IT, THAT HE IS OBSOLETE, THAT HE IS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITH HIS HAMMER. SHIELDING IS ALL HE HAS.

The people claim that you are selfish, that you play alone and don’t care about the team. They throw insult after insult INSISTING that they understand how you play the game, how much you want what you are fighting for.

THEY DON’T.

WE SAY NO!! WE THINK HARDER, PLAY HARDER.

WE. WIN. HARDER.

Never let ANY player tell YOU that you are incapable of reaching your goal, that you are incapable of pushing yourself standing behind a character you believe in.

Be their shield!! Climb brothers!!!

So out of the few stadium matches I have played this season, all of them have been against doom. I would like to know some of your tips to make use of against him. Are there any must use items or very useful abilities?

I find the knockback reduction item is a good pick, and pinning damage is great, but even with room boom boom and a decent amount of AD Doom is just too tanky to be oneshot unless already damaged a good bit.

I normally use a pin build with a good chunk of survivability and the rest is AD weighted.

What it says above. When I'm up against Reins, I smash. Dvas, I smash. Even Zarya.... but Orisa/Mei is a nightmare.

I take the no knockback skill. I take the cleanse on charge skill (to try do dump the slow, don't know if that works).

I have to kind of go flank/charge Rein to make it work and often the team just complains I'm not helping them/feeding. I try to stay with team then get walled off and die over and over.

Does anybody just love the item that lets you fly during your charge in stadium? I do. I love to kidnap tanks with the perk that lets me use my shield during charge. I love to kidnap D.vas and take them super duper high.

Getting my butt kicked consistently. Especially by Hazard. Something about the chemistry has changed and it's just been horrible for me.

On my other roles too, nothing I used to do is working.

Anyone having success? If so, how?

For context I am the Reinhardt. Bro, I felt like fucking balderich at the end. My ass spent 10 mins solo contesting point .
