I hate how Rein is like, PEAK tank design(that immovable wall that protects the team, makes plays, and punishes those who get close), but just like Heavy in TF2(the closest thing that game has to a similar role), he’s almost completely non-viable in high tier comp.
Fr I usually play doomfist but one match the enemy was playing tank and asked if I played rein but I said no. Dude convinced me to go rein and it was actually one of the most fun matches ive ever had. At the end I said "Live with honor" and he replied back with "Die with glory" it was the manliest tank fight ive ever had. Dude said he respects a true man when they play rein. I felt so proud lmfao.
God I miss this. The coordination, the reflexes, the speed and violence on a single target. I won't say he should be meta, but he should at least be able to compete if a team holds him up
Atleast in ranked yes otherwise playing him is just a throw right now. I don’t get why they won’t buff him. They buffed zarya when she was way better than him
@@natedavis2944 because if they buff him for t500 He'll be eating through the metal ranks That's the reason they refuse to make moira more useful as well
@@jackiejackyjaqy they just buffed miora lol. She’s literally one of the better supports currently. Aspen has like an 80% winrate on her this season lol. So I refuse to accept that nonsense they buffed bastion and miora up to where they’re meta in top500 while they dominate the metal ranks. They just won’t do it for rein. They clearly have favorites
@@natedavis2944 they buffed moira as a compensatory buff for the season 9 changes as she doesn't benefit from any projectile buffs They also buffed rein's swings, fire strike and pin But they were again compensatory buffs since he doesn't benefit from projectile changes Rein is still viable with the correct comp just very hard to pulloff otherwise that other dude playing rein wouldn't be in that high of a rank while playing rein Rein players just cry too much
There was one time I tried punching past a brig rally shield bash on doomfist. WILDEST interaction I've ever seen. I got stunned AND counterpinned, BUT SHE WENT RIGHT PASSED ME NO PROBLEM.

Been playing since OW1 and reached masters largely by watching your content and you inspired me to play Rein. Imo OW is most fun when Rein is playable. He's such a fair tank in terms of outplay potential but he's also strong when played well at least for awhile. I'm sad that the current state of the game doesn't allow him to shine.
4:42 I have been trying to figure out what the guy said I have no idea. I genuinely cannot hear anything other than the sound effects. Does anyone know? 😂🤣 🫡 Edit: Did he say “Winston’s way bigger?” …… I genuinely have no idea. Anyway….
I wonder if what would help rein is him being able to switch between hitting enemies and pushing allies with his charge. So he can flip around and get his medic or dps the fuck out of a bad situation. It doesn't help hes pure defense with his shield, yet his only other abilities is throwing a fireball and throwing himself at the enemies. His charge is iconic but hes not built to survive the aftermath it would be most used for
I luv reins, my bf is a rein main, ik the struggle so I always look out for them more than other tanks by going Ana and making their life easier or playing Lucio or just rezzing them over and over
I main Rein. His kit feels like it was reworked to make him a clown. Foam Hammer, Playful Shove, intermittent light show, and his ultimate is Intermission.
I love rein bs rein but when you swap rein and begin winning and then they go Orisa or something it’s just baffling… in the wise words of Anakin Skywalker, “hold on, this whole operation was your idea”
It kinda sucks that you're pretty much not allowed to play Rein without making sure almost 50% of the roster isn't present On the bright side tho, it totally makes those 1v1's where both teams agree not to use certain characters for the match that much more chivalrous and wholesome
I love how tank players have generally formed a truce, If you go Rein I go Rein with you
Okay, but I don't need the mirror match every game, I want to turn my brain off every now and then 😭
only way to have fun on ow2 currently TvT
It feels nice to rein duel but holy hell some other tanks just go straight to orisa and mauga and be no fun when just want to rein out
The no Zen and Lucio truce doing more to make Rein feel fun to play tho 😂
For honor
brother hasn't played rein in so long it took him a whole three seconds to find the icon on hero select.
saw him hovering over orisa too

This is the least toxic overwatch gets, two men in a rein duel is the greatest show of honor and glory

i love rein v rein its the most fun you can have istg@@spectral7972
@@spectral7972that’s so dope lol
4:42 for those wondering he said 'yours is way bigger' referencing when flats said "mine is bigger" seconds ago
Thank you much
Hahahahhahahaha looking for this commment you win!
It's the rule. If you see a Rein, you switch to Rein, greet each other, then get to swinging.
If i roll out and the tank is the same as me (doom vs doom) etc, i always fav first
this the kinda overwatch that's fun as fuck to play, and it's obvious by the comms that everyone's enjoying it too
1:14
No way this man pulled a “I’m something of a rein enjoyer myself”😂
God I miss this. The coordination, the reflexes, the speed and violence on a single target.
I won't say he should be meta, but he should at least be able to compete if a team holds him up
Well I'm saying this should be meta.
You can tell how dead Rein is when Flats actually was searching for him on the roster
Live With Honor, Die with Glory! :'^)
When the enemy tank goes Rein, I'll instantly choose Rein as well. It's literally the only chance I'll get to play him. I'm never turning that down.

Rein is totally viable,just think outside the box and ALWAYS expect that no one will ever support you,this is how i win against any comp-pharahmercy
@@natedavis2944 they buffed moira as a compensatory buff for the season 9 changes as she doesn't benefit from any projectile buffs

But they were again compensatory buffs since he doesn't benefit from projectile changes
Rein is still viable with the correct comp just very hard to pulloff otherwise that other dude playing rein wouldn't be in that high of a rank while playing rein
Rein players just cry too much
The triple kill after ult and then straight into lamp post is what I am here for
11:33 that ragdoll deserved some cartoon sound effects
Goated thumbnail
That was one of the most fun videos i've seen in a while. We need Rein back
absolutely love seeing flats having fun and the confidence he gets!
I love the few times Flats gets to shotcall.
15:00 Rein is a dive tank
i like how in high elo play there's like a gentlemen's agreement that if an enemy does rein u do the same
10:11 the enemy rein rolling in the air lmaooo
Seeing flats semi enjoy rein is so refreshing to see
I love how flats is a leader instead of tilting or judging his teamates like 80 percent of other streamers do
I played rein for 1 game and felt like hanging myself
me fr
14:34 lucio freak out was wild lmfao
Rein duels will always be the best! way too much fun to play
I see Aoi Todo reference in thumbnails, I click, is very simple
one of the best brothers ever
one change i think can help rein is make it to where the dps passive isnt as strong on him as it is on other tanks
I love the more competitive flats making a reappearance after this new ranked system. So fun to watch and a cool change of pace
That enemy rein was actual doing great all things considered
the teamwork in that last game was incredible
*Gets rolled by another Rein*
Flats: SO YOU'VE CHOSEN DEATH...
Flats must have dementia, he forgot that he’s him
Live with Honor, Die in 7 seconds!
Got a hype man near the end there lol
Always love when I get see or enjoy an honorable Rein duel.
7:58 that was fucking DIRTY
There was one time I tried punching past a brig rally shield bash on doomfist. WILDEST interaction I've ever seen. I got stunned AND counterpinned, BUT SHE WENT RIGHT PASSED ME NO PROBLEM.
The shotcalling on rein is *chefs kiss*
That surprise pin needs train noises 😂
sometimes when i watch flats play rein, i instinctively right click to pull up barrier
It looks like the stairs pushed you over more. You are my favorite tank of all time
eyo, that's me telling flats about the unlimited ammo!
The biggest form of betrayal is when the enemy goes Rein and so I switch to rein too, then I kill them and they goes orisa, like buddy. come on.
It’s been so long for flats he doesn’t remember where rein is on the select screen 😂
rein charge needs the mauga rush treatment to make him playable at all
15:15 I didn’t know you could crit the dam immortality is it only a rein shatter thing?
I don’t know exactly how but you can crit with slam
@@Bro1212_it happens if you hit them with the hammer, it does extra damage there, you can occasionally get a kill with it if someone happens to be up in your face
@@joshyjoshyjoshy the thing is he crit the immortality and I never seen that everrrrr so can you crit it with like Mauga or other characters?
@@paing06 i'm not sure what all can crit baps lamp tbh, first time i've seen that happen
I seem to remember a clip of Dafran saying that Flats is boosted by his 5 stack. Good to see Flats still able to dominate in the rein v rein.
1:35 This what OverWatch 2 should be.
Play til you lose is a phrase I wish more people lived by. Just yesterday I had three different winnable games thrown away by doomers.
That thumbnail.. As a Rein main this is exacly how it feel.

Do I Rien good? No. But when it's time to Rien, you Rien!

i learned alot from your callouts the first map
Was that FFXIV music I suddenly heard or am I dreaming...
Funny however to see Reins go like that, a rare occasion x)
Shisui of the Violet Tides....I need to get that 1.6k hours to 2000 eventually rookie numbers.
Audio mixed like it’s on netflix
edit at 11:41 is clean
I just cant wait for some of the tanks to be more impactful in this game.
Peak teamwork
Any one else really wanna see flats play cosmic crisis?
yeah I really did, did he in fact ever get around to doing that on stream? Haven't really been keeping up but was looking forward to that.
Rein vs Rein games, " Its enough to make a grown man cry" ☺
Its crazy how almost every shatter got blocked
I luv reins, my bf is a rein main, ik the struggle so I always look out for them more than other tanks by going Ana and making their life easier or playing Lucio or just rezzing them over and over
Peak the dog with the footwear
His pin really just got pinned
BRROOOOTHERS
god i wana experiance the good ol days
If only the DPS and Supports also respected the Rein duel.....

Flats am I crazy or were you turning away from the pin towards the bap lol
4:38 I need subtitles what did he say ?
“Yours is way bigger”
@@alucardwhitehair thanks
I dont know why but if both teams have a rein the game is more enjoyable. So much funny stuff happens like double shatter block or mirror charge stun.
FOR HONOR!!!
When I play rein there's NOTHING more fun then just messing around for me
Tank players, somehow with the smallest community, are able to achieve a truce.
Same thing happened with the MGS community on ps3 lmao
Rein swing 1 taps tire, should’ve swung it
Any junk in t500 isn't gonna let that happen lol
game-winning spawn hold
Where can I find that remix of ATCQ stressed out for the outro?
Rein is a solid brawl tank
We also need more moment like this in lower ranks.... 😢
Did he hit a single shatter? Lmao
How did you miss the 4 man at 4:35 lol
@@IcyColdStare bro i guess i blacked out I did not see that one lol
I love rein bs rein but when you swap rein and begin winning and then they go Orisa or something it’s just baffling… in the wise words of Anakin Skywalker, “hold on, this whole operation was your idea”
I hate whenever I go rein their enemy team goes hard rein counters to make sure I can't enjoy the game in any way shape or form
The one thing every tank player agree
If there is a rein on the opposite side. Pick rein
Rein for life
I always say hi to the other doomfist ☺️
This makes me want to play rein but it's gonna be miserable as soon as i do...
It kinda sucks that you're pretty much not allowed to play Rein without making sure almost 50% of the roster isn't present

What did you do on Rein’s face I. The thumbnail
W video again, but the music is so loud 😭🙏🙏
