They really did turn Rein into Optimus Prime
Optimus Rein
Optimus Primehardt
With the plot armor 😂
His name is literally OP.
Sped found
They literally just reverted Reinhardt Shield. The real change is that armor and dps passive.
the armor + dps passive nerfs + health increase bro 💀
if they really wanted to revert it, the shield would be 2000hp.
Rein Lucio in low elo is a nightmare. They just walk at you like Darth Vader and there's nothing you can do about it
"For Whom The Bell Tolls" intensifies
Plat think, but honestly, if I queue DPS now I feel so cosmetic, it's basically just try to stay alive and shoot something while the tanks and supports play the game within the game. If my tank is way worse we just lose, but now it's a lot slower because the supports can kind of sustain all his poor decisions. Before the game was just over really quick.
@@stevieboitano1038 Playing dps is so painful right now.
I don't think low elo should matter for balancing cause at that point it's just a skill issue, but these buffs were so bad for the game anyways it's just the devs fault tbh
@@alexchat3020 guess we had our couple months and now dps is back to cosmetic. uggh. tank players complaining so much like they havent ran the game for like 7 years.
"Suffer, as i have"
Now this words hit different with this tank buffs
Rein: “Are you afraid to fight me?”
Me: “Beer!”
BEER
BEER
BEER
🍻
Mauga: “No Beer only (cage) FIGHT!”
*[charges at you with malicious intent]*
"I cant do anything theyre all just flying away" the overwatch experience in one sentence
No, not really.
“The Overwatch experience” is getting chain stunned 😂
@@I_am_a_cat_ flats said it disagree with him, I'm just quoting the video lol

Dinner is ready 🤤
Scrumptious

He is a frog on a piece of toast
This is the best news I’ve heard all day
The "GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT" at 4:48 was funny as heck
XD
For real haha
irl foreshadowing
@@Lucuman91 damn
No footsteps havin ass is my favorite line
Just played rein and he does feel unstoppable. It helps that the sigma i was fighting was ass.
Oh wow the buff didn't ruin the game who knew
@@gallonthegreat7036 to be frank they didn't do any swapping. Seriously I was kicking there asses and not one thought to go sombra or anything like that. Also, mind you I was playing tank but had a previous game where I was support and the enemy team just couldn't fucking die.
@@gallonthegreat7036The issue is not very tank needed a giga buff mauga zarya and hog could have been left completely unchanged and they would have been fine but now that trio is even dumber than they were previously
@@tristonandres2844 indeed, we're still in the adjustment phase and rein feels very strong. Might be because everyone is picking sigma but I'm not sure.
I mean, that's really just it. If their tank was decent, it would have been a good fight. But you were that much better, so having a character that doesn't just instantly fall over when two of the other team sneeze at you just works now.
I feel like this patch for tank is the embodiment of "what are you gonna do? Shoot me?"
Ngl the tank buffs came in with the transformers collab is a little crazy cause Optimus rein is so much fun to play
You say that as if the skin changes anything about how rein plays. It's just a skin.
@@I_am_a_cat_ the balance patch comes together with the skin tho.
@@I_am_a_cat_ it does if you aren’t you
Queen feels unstoppable now as well! She’s fun to play again! 😊
Flats tried to solo shatter a flying pharrah lmao 😂
Shatter has a height of 2 meters i believe and pharah was pretty low to the ground if i recall correctly
Watching it back it would have landed and crit killed her too, couldnt believe it
PRIME TIME REIN TIME PRIME TIME REIN TIME PRIME TIME REIN TIME
Rein feels like he cant die, which is great.
Still feels like shit though when you cant kill anyone still without feeding or needing charging
Rein vs Orisa is actually a case of an irresistible force meeting an immovable object after this patch.
You mean unstoppable? 💀
@@church6134 I was quoting Wrestlemania 3, the match between Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant, but that works too.
Seeing flats in an sc2 marine suit with red eyes is peak thumbnail content
4:16 I appreciate emongg tryna hype you up thinking you’d ult…playing with him probably makes you keep more of your sanity😂
Imagine if they could play together on the same role, that would be crazy
That poor sig getting absolutely mindgamed everytime he throws a rock lol
Love how the tanks walk into each other super aggressively beating the crap out of each other, but everyone else is peaking you super carefully and doesn't even go near you
that's how rein is "supposed" to play. Ain't nobody got the will to hold right click until the shield breaks, either the enemy will break or we will break
That rein skin goes so hard I love it
Listen I get that this isn’t the answer, gigabuffing tanks, but listen every other role has had a chance to be broken, oppressive, and just straight up the best role in the game, while tanks always go through the shitty cycle of road hog, mauga, Orissa, like it’s never the fun tanks they giga buff and make meta, if the tanks are broken the some time because of these buffs ok whatever, at least we get some time to actually enjoy our role until they can figure out an actual solution
Preach!
I understand what your saying but it's not just one role that's gonna suffer from this, it's gonna be all roles probably including tanks still because you still have to counterswap. Overall I don't care much because I'm skipping this season but yeah thought I would mention this.
@@CadenAnderson-m8t i played rein all night last night and when I was much better than my enemy tank I destroyed them even though they counter picked me, but even with the buffs I can still feel the same things prior, if my DPS aren’t killing and my supports choose to do nothing, the game becomes 10 times harder even with the buffs, I understand what you’re saying though, but again, tanks have been oppressed for so long now and every role other than tank was broken, hard meta, busted, not even once like multiple times, they can let us have some limelight for a little while
@@Das_Ungeheuer facts
Idk mauga is zero threat now after those "buffs". 3 secs and pretty much useless. Seems like the new doomfist to me and I'm perfectly happy with that. They should leave this for a bit for sure. Dps and support role have had it way to easy with over tuned heros. They are the first to go "tank diff" no matter how bad they play. Let us tanks dominate for a while 😂 we've been the punching bag for a long while now.
I don't even play tank but it's so entertaining to watch when Flats plays Rein, effin love it!
0:13 god tier firestrike
You mean, your elo firestrikes? Yikes
@@FirekingBarong nah that wall was about to teamwipe flats and his team, if he didn't hit it they would have lost the game for sure.
I've done shit like this too everyone makes mistakes
After months of not having almost any impact in my games, im loving this! Die with glory!
And I bet you had a initial issue with the buffs at first
@gallonthegreat7036 nope, I hated the way the game felt. I was always blamed for being a bad tank. I've won like 15 games on a row.
this game has basically turned into different variations of that one game mode from Gears of War where you have one big dude on each team and you gotta protect them, whoever loses their big dude first loses
For the first minute and a half Flats was playing like a silver tank
I like how the whole team countered Rein, and he still got value.
Finally feels like lore Rein
Octopus prime rein is vory cool
man i kinda forgot how much i love watching flats play rein lmao. at least there one thing good about this patch
Looks like an additional buff that wasn’t mentioned is added
Direct hit shatter increased from 170 to 200 from what I noticed….not in patch notes anywhere
0:09 I’ve never seen a worse match in my entire life
Sig and dva are the only tanks in the game apparently, because those are the only tanks I ever see
5:15 Emongg fulfilled the pact!
I've always loved rein, even when he was the wrong pick before the patch, BUT NOW?! it's glory time
0:41 great text chat interaction lol
Finally back to playing OW2
Good to see tank mains finally having some fun
I love how Pharrah is still on every single game
Cause the nerfs were nothing
Can we all just appreciate that the bg music in flats's vids is always from super mario 3d or galaxy
hey, i just had this idea and i thought id share it.
so i have been playing over watch since the beginning. from 6v6, to 5v5, the game has moved into different directions into different ways.
what i mean by that:
most hero’s have ability’s that haven’t changed much since OW1, but there are few that have. some for the better, but some struggle to come to paste with the changing format (6v6>5v5).
for example, DVAs matrix struggles to find value in this format (hot take, my bad).
also, to keep try to mend the ship we are riding, developers have tried very hard to keep up with the changing tides (at least they are now). from rotating out some OW1 maps, changing the abilities of hero’s, to the constantly back and forth of nerf/buff/nerf/buff etc.
moving forward, i play all roles, but i do seem to find myself having less fun in other roles vs others, seasons in, seasons out. but i have concluded, that the hardest role to play in my opinion is the rank role, through in, through out the patches.
why i believe this:
to kinda go back to my first point for a second, the game was originally made into a 6v6 format, then that changed. the meta was usually 2 tanks/2 sup/2 dps, now you have 5v5, with the roles as we all know them today. so the biggest impacted role from this alone was the tank. i’m not going to get into the 5v5, 6v6 debate l, you’ve you made it this far trust me this isn’t my point. but happy to have you.
most of the nerfs to buffs, etc, i believe have been try to fill this void that now has been created.
i kind of have an idea, but you’ll just have to hear me out, or disagree with me. i just love this game, and care about it. this could be crazy, or a solution. i don’t know.
but here it is:
give the tank role two options when they play the game. pick your tank, then pick an ability for said tank. each tank has multiple “tool ability’s” in their kit. they can change abilities in selected tank when they have to respawn again. there were two tanks, now there’s just two everything else. if this works, possibly less buffs and nerfs until THIS gets tweaked and tuned.
-just a thought, thank you for reading.
No
Towards the end flats barley talked he was super focused
For the first time since overwatch one Rein can actually use his shield and not die and people are crying because hes not dying instantly. SMH
Yup I have been playing DPS since the queues are short and locking Mei. The amount of stall new tank + mei have is insane. On top of the the buffs to tank are not enough to save buffed tanks from being walled off and focused.
Also jumping in front of your tank when Mauga or Bastion use cooldowns and popping cryo is very good. You can tank so much damage while your tank recovers.
Mauga feels useless. He has his 3 secs of being god them dies immediately after. Happy af about it too! So tired of that tank. 😂 doom fist feels really good right now. staying alive longer with the over health time extended.
Weird how the most monetized hero in the new season is now insane
i know this is not allowed, but i've been playing since the patch and been having fun
Heresy!
Jokes aside, this has been a long time coming
I legit need to play aggressive shield more like this. I've been really sleeping on its potential.
We actually walked a game yesterday with a Rien who wanted to play aggressive. It's rare as a Lucio to get to play with speedboost on so consistently. They COULD NOT get away from us as he just laid his hammer into them all.
Honestly, loving the tank changes. I'm a support main, but I finally managed to get my placements done on dps and tank.
Dps wasn't so bad, but I just couldn't get anywhere on tank. I couldn't justify Tanking and ruining other people's games when I'm a shit Tank on top of how much they just melted.
This new patch made it possible for to do my placements ^_^
Plus. Honestly. Knowing my Tank isn't going to explode if I look at my dps for a second is just wonderful.
I think something everyone just overlooked is that tanks are tanks, so their survivability helps overall team survivability. I'm having a lot of fun this patch now that my tanks can act like tanks.
Tanks also have insane dps with their enormous health pools. What happens when your tank goes down or is on the wrong hero? You get run over with 0 hope of turning the fight.
This new Transformers game looks dope, what's it called?
overwat too
Transformers: Lies and Deception
As a metal rank tank player, I’d say the overbuff feels pretty good. Which translates to the higher ranks are totally screwed. . .
Its got to feel good to roll someone on rein and have them swap to bastion to counter you and to kiriko for easy survivability
3:24 Fastest rez in the New West, holy shit.
Just remember that Tanks ASKED for this. They'll be complaining about it next week like the rest of the DPS and supports.
So remember tanks, YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELVES
Bait spotted
@@esacore3053 except it's not bait, I mean everything I said.
this is bait
🪝 🐟
@@BigProb somebody can't read. I mean everything I said, it's not bait.
@@psirockin2251 bait :)
We'll reach a point where Echo will be the best tank buster simply because of the laser.
Probably, we already saw her being the best tank in the game so it'd be fitting for her to become the best tank buster
I typed diamond Reinhardt in the search and this is what I get.
Rein being a raid boss feels good.
The rein Optimus prime skin is probably my favorite ever tbh
Freedom is the right to all sentient beings
its like, now hear me out, mei is like an offtank lite ver
I still think doom should've stayed damage and mei should've been made tank, her kit is just perfect for tanking
really juicy game for rein, lots of damage being done by him
There's something PERFECT about Flats as Optimus PrimeHardt.
It's just awesome to see.
Sad the game is bad. But happy Flats is Optimus Prime Rein! 🚛🚛🚛
Finally a decent patch that has saved the game.
I wouldn't say Rein is unstoppable, he just now PLAYABLE.
More playable than before I think.
True. But there are so many flying/dashing characters now you really can't do much. And everyone counterpicks cause they're boring. Atleast they nerfed Ram so you can 1v1 where before if you didn't switch off you were trolling
Rein doesn't look to broken but its always fun to play rein plus theres lot of counters so i don't think hes that good but hes better
Its all i ever wanted. Its time!
Tank is more enjoyable now imo, one trick doom and it’s great
This kinda reminds me of OW2 beta, I may actually have to start playing again
as a rein player. when flats canceled his charge and threw up a shield to block the sig rock. i got a smile on my face. little things like that that arent noticed most of the time. FIRE
I love calling the tanks raid bosses 😂😂
im kinda sad that the transformer skins dont have different voicelines
Imma be honest as a support main(mercy, brig and Lucio) I kinda like this quality of life change because I can FINALLY keep my tank up from dumb ahh plays and as mercy focus on my dps way more
Agreed! The ability to look away from the Tank, confident they won't explode in the 2 seconds it takes to help the others, is so fucking amazing.
Feels so good, not being basically forced to healbot so Tanks can play the game. Now, we can ALL play!
Dear flats , I’ve been diagnosed with chronic tank bully PTSD. As a healer main I cry my self to sleep daily while thinking of all the reinheart monsters relentlessly hunting me down…. The rapture … the horror , tank buffs are terrifying. I now no longer sleep for I am dead , a reinheart charged through my screen and into my brain . It got knocked out my ear and I now lay lifeless on the floor. 😢 ps , Zar bubble how many days until nerf?!?
I am enjoying the power trip but it’s not worth it at the expense of the other roles
It is
They legit said at the start of OW2, they wanted tank to be more of a bruiser or boss character.
Wow Reins shield actually works now!
Love your video keep it up and great reinheart gameplay
any tips against the new mauga he seems to be dominating in the lower ranks which im in
Bro, emongg needs to watch a nano boost tips videos.
Imma leave this little story here cause why not:
In a quick play match i killed the enemy tank who went zarya then mauga (btw i was playing mauga during this) then decided to dare thr enemy tank to play orisa. Ya i kicked their ass and sent a friend request after the match, kills between us were 22 (ish i forgot the exact number) / 8
yeah rein is pretty goos, i was in unrated playing as dva and his shield didnt break a single time
I can't tell if I want to play more or less..... I'm just gonna grind Last Epoch
This guy’s a Monster
I've always been more of a 6v6er. But this patch has really sold me on it.
Play rien is great until they have bation phara and ur dps are soldier 2-6 then it stops being fun
I mean, that's literally with most of the tanks too lmao
@@yarogblack1909 this patch did nothing to fix the game it just made numbers bigger
@@onetomeplz5825 when the hell did I say this patch fixed game??? Lmao what
We’re gonna need a bastion/junkrat
Plays Rein like an absolute maniac and acts like he's not having fun.
I kinda dig the new patch and I don't even play tank
It took Blizzard giga-buffing every tank in the game for the Reinhardt bros to have their moment in the sun.
new rein gameplay:
just charge into thier full team. Get a pick. Use your new unbreakable shield to wait for the charge cooldown to come back.
Charge out.
you made them use all cooldowns got a pick and stayed alive. While they were busy shooting your shield.
Blizzard thank you. I always wanted to get value from shieldbotting, finally my time has come and i can enjoy my rightclick rein gameplay
Hey I know this is probably just the good games but can we get some ranked rein as well as the games where you get stomped? It would be awesome to have rein flats again!
Is the extra barrier health really that much of a game changer? Im just a lowly diamond support so idk
It’s not just the barrier but armor buff too and top of that DPS passive was reduced to 10% from 20% which makes armored tanks such as Rein or Ram much more potent than before
*Insert “Always Has Been” meme here.*
Rein gets an Optimus skin so now they wanna buff him
hey did flats get thinner?
I may sound crazy, but after playing as a tank It feels good to play again, but it also still feels good to go against them. I don’t know how it is in higher ranks in QP or comp. To me, the changes are surprising and feel ok. The only ones I don’t agree with are Mauga and Zaryra, but for some reason, they don’t feel broken to go against. IDK if that’s to do with people in qp don’t know how to play them properly or that the changes aren’t as crazy as I thought. Again this is just from what I’ve seen myself when playing the game, I can’t speak for higher ranks. Is it just me or do others feel this way too that the changes to tank don’t make them as crazy powerful as we thought?
Outside from Mauga, Zayar and Orisa, the new buffs isn't all doom and gloom. I am starting to see people finally play other tanks like Winston in Qp. It nice
@@queenpen1398huh? Winston has been really good for months by now
Zarya isn't that good, she needs a good dps to pocket or she gets focused and die.
I am like mid top 500 rank and uh u some times live those but still just sleep anti hack on cooldown so not very much changed
@@ghoulbuster1 I have literally been running over lobby’s by my self as zar had games where my dps 9-0 7-0 and I am 22-0 it’s literally raid boss
actually just revenge for the tank mains that hated how bad tank was
Oh heck yeah he is, pocket mercy Rein meta is back
i’m still mad about the skin tier list vid. baldreich is the best rein skin
idk what everyone is on about with this update being bad, tanks are still very killable but now they are fun to play again
