Turning 90 degrees mid teamfight to bring the hammer down on Mei is absolutely peak Rein. He might not have the mechanical skill yet but underneath he’s got the Rein-heart.
Rein pun, I respect it
@@R3dstoneT4co me too
one of us!
@@R3dstoneT4co that Shatter had to Rein-hurt! Haha!
OMG ITS ME THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really do appreciate the pointers and praise (no ego i promise) keep up the sick content!
wp! hope you dont encounter idiots like these 2 no more :)
only one comment and its hidden smh. anyways i hope you have better luck in your future games man
AWW you were so goood :D
@Kablamoo 101 I'm gold 4 and u r better than most tanks I see, good work
I like your "fuck it, I'm going in" charges.
Great rein play.
I like that Flats doesn't straight up bully the Rein in this spectating bronze since he didn't roll in with a massive ego and also his dps really were just trolling
Yeah, the lack of ego sells the acceptance of criticism, which will lead to improvement
Flats makes up for the ego when it's lacking, it's ok
There's not really much you can do in a 3v5 even if he was amazing
He should never bully anyone anyway.. flats aka fats can be an asshole though he's got a huge ego and even bigger body .. flat ? Nah yeah he's round.
@@ParkesyBeamsfunnily enough I tried complimenting flats saying it looked like he lost weight and I got banned from his chat. Infuriated me knowing I tried to be nice and they slapped me in my face.
Imagine holding a game hostage for 30 min and being confident your skills will carry and outperform bronzes. Only to lose to those bronzes. I can't think of a better humbling experience.
Back in OW1, I'd run into people who would smurf gold just to grief both teams. They'd do stupid strategies that only work cause of the skill difference - like spawn camping with a pocketed Hog. Then they'd start BMing their team who's been having to take 4v5 team fights the whole game.
Bro I need some help. I’m slow asf
What/how is the game being held hostage?
@@andreabenton7798 by "hostage" in this situation they mean that the two dps were actively delaying the end of the game, which basically "held the match hostage" and didnt allow for anyone to move onto other matches for 30mins, JUST because the dps willingly did nothing on defense.
edit: like the match became a ping-pong/back-and-forth experience and was set up like that by the dps flats was pointing out :d
@@madhatter7328
It clicked for me
Thank you my brother
@Andrea Benton Well that's definitely a risk if they actually care about winning. If their goal is to push the match as far as possible, then one team fight where your bronzes die right away at the end of the game is gg. Even top skill players don't win 1v5 against bronzes.
>Be a low gold Reaper
>Queue up with your Silver 5 DPS buddy on a throwaway accounts in Bronze 5
>Hold the lobby hostage and troll all game, assuming you're going to roll everyone at the final hour making yourself look like a God
>Get absolutely rolled by a Bronze Mei
this made me laugh so much lol
I really don't understand, back in the early OW days, gold was PISSLOW and I mean PISSLOW elo. I understand that they are technically a smurf for playing in a lower division, but...
@@alexandrecuny2186pisslow or not they are supposed to be better than bronzes so it’s still bad
@@alexandrecuny2186 gold is not and never was "pisslow" its the average rank of an average overwatch player. Plat is already better than most players. And that's just facts...
@@DomenG33K gold in the early days of OW was painfully pisslow. I remember back in season 4 or 5 of the first OW running the account of a friend from low bronze to low plat in 3 hours
I remember a Gold game with an absolute gigachad Sig and Bap who forced a win despite our DPS duo que pulling this crap. The trolls threatened to report them too for ruining their XP farming.
You meet the best and worst of folks in this game, sometimes both at once.
Imagine reporting people... for ruining your XP farming... absolutely 0 brain cells.
no way they were actually xp farming... what the fuck. glad the sig and bap clutched this one.
THERES NO WAY BATTLE PASS XP FARMERS ARE REAL? LMFAO WHAT???
Xp farmers…
Wait, isn’t it optimal to speedrun the daily challenges though?
Bro ain’t now way they are that desperate it’s COMP AND THEY WANNA XP FARM BRO WTF
What a wholesome review from Flats, cheering up a bronze Reainhardt, cute. Those dps are truly a disgrace.
dead game
@@VVVVV00 lmao someone’s got no life .
@@VVVVV00kinda not tho
Yeah have been tired of all the cheater videos lately
@JoJo-ke5yz tired of the cheater videos why? There's too much cheating. How to make it known to the devs? Constantly call them out. The devs don't care about the casual players they care only about the streamers and E-Sports. I see it with many games.
8:54 to explain him jumping around like that. At the end of rounds with a map like this it puts a "change spawn room" message and you can just keep pressing that button making you teleport around your spawn room
Still looks funny af
I hope they don't "fix" that
funny ass bug sounds like blizzard
ha ha yea that was what i was doing, first time figuring it out
It must be so gratifying to have a big streamer rip your throwing teammates a new one
They dont care, its a smurf accoutn and blizz wont do shit against griefers anway.
@@realglutenfree just like how blizz didn’t do anything with pve ;-;
I respect 110% the Earthshatter directly on Mei
If there isnt a Mercy, I aim for Mei when shes on the team. 😊
I laughed so hard at that point
Kind of off-topic, but I love the fact that two players on the enemy team are called "Feuerrabe" and "Feuerfrosch," which translates to fire raven and fire frog in German. They're probably a duo. (Edit: I kind of forgot that these are probably default Blizzard battletags. Still cute, though.)
Winning against edates just feels different.
These names are actually standard blizzard battletags in german. So it might be just a coincidence here :)
@@KaigaiProject I recently had flatsiscute and emonggiscute in my team, while we're on the topic of dou/edate names.
Yeah it sounds like the blizzard auto generated names, like "MauveRaven" and "AzureEagle"
@@unpopularguy6071 Hmm, now that you mention it, these battletags do seem a bit familiar.
Rein slam damage is honestly the one thing they should never remove from rein. The nerf was acceptable but being able to just "POP" instanuke someone that is right on top of you disrespecting your space. My mans needs it.
I swear big streamers dont understand how often this happens. Regular players get these AFKs/trolls at least once a day. I climbed from bronze to diamond, nd i can tell u with absolute certainty that i found ppl like these in all the ranks. It gets less and less often the higher u go, but it still happens
If you have 2 dps trying to draw out the game, the idea is to take the enemies dps and send them to spawncamp the trolls, and then everyone else plays a game without dps.
Of course this requires basically the entire lobby to work together, but I believe in random strangers to also have a burning hatred for said trolls
"work together" this is bronze mate, I'm pretty sure Rein was the only one noticing anything lol
that also relies on the enemy dps being capable of 1v1ing the smurfs.
That will never happen in Bronze.
Both teams working together?
I think I've seen enough lobbies where either team might have a cheater and the team with the cheater just hard going for the win. Even though they know they are rage hacking. Enough to know that ain't happening.
@@JackiedudeQQ But imagine the content if it did
I love these spectating bronze videos cus I actually feel like I learn little things from your critique and bewilderment about some of the stuff these players are doing
Most streamers five stack cuz they know a lot of people
@@EmJ.806 Your reply is completely unrelated to the original comment, but okay I guess.
@@IAmAlteringTheDeal I commented this a year ago, and I’m pretty sure it’s in response to the wrong comment
and at 14:28 he touches the payload with less than 3 seconds on the clock so they for sure know how overtime works
The ingredients list of this game:
-1 silver 3 rein player
-2 bronze support homies (
appreciate the recipe
@@Eclipse_NT you're very welcome
I'd honestly say the Rein deserves Gold 4
@yahia5476 maybe I don't know what gold looks like post ranm inflation but by ow 1 standards that's silver gameplay.
So much cringe every time big boy opens his mouth
14:48 Rein slamming mei made me laugh so hard, dude slammed her like an annoying mosquito 😂😂
I feel bad for the Rein having to take that L as collateral damage but hopefully he takes some solace in the fact that that Reaper got exactly what he deserved.
8:54 sometimes you get the “press f to switch spawn” dialogue after a round/match finishes and you can just spam it for some reason
this is 1 of the reasons why i dont care anymore about comp, it just fucks with your mental when you got people like this in your lobbys,
i only do placements and if shit like this happens i just go "it eez what it eez"
Bite you lip and say gg we got rolled and move on it ruins your headspace so if you don't give that impression the troll isn't having fun. Or t bag every kill for psychological damage.
imagine how sad and miserable you have to be to troll in bronze lobbies like go touch grass or smth get a job kiss a girl anything
was that last part an icarly reference? 😭
sadly they cant breath fresh air, touch grass, or kiss girls cause they live too far underground.
I know right it’s just sad like these guys wanna rank up and this rein deserve a rank up but no he can’t bc of trash smurfs
@@cinnamon5996 yeah lmao
@@TK-7193 Actually the other way around.
Lower-ranked players don’t care as much about the game, and they tend to have better life-work-game balance
The worst part is, blizzard isn't gonna do anything to deter these hostage situations.
my friend had a session where he played 20 games and 18/20 had throwers or spectating team mates. doesnt help that he’s gotten the same throwers so many times he’s recognized the username of every single thrower (not the defaut battlenet names)
Perfect 3 man shatter available, insta-kills the Mei instead 😂 respect
Lol you're acting like his team would be able to do anything useful with the shatter to begin with, bro could slam all 5 of them right Infront of his entire team, they would absolutely struggle to get a pick.
14:50 “I respect that, fuck mei”
I can fully agree 😂
Does anyone know why Rein pin is so inconsistent? You can be standing dead center in front of him and it’ll bounce you off or you can be 3 feet above him and get vacuumed in and just die sometimes. Super annoying just for the uncertainty of playing with or against it
blizzard
Same with hogs hook, I shouldn’t be getting hooked from behind two of my teammates
Most likely a problem with latency and the desync between the players and the rein
I have played against rein and gotten away with not being pinned because I’m 1 inch to the left or right, it’s actually kinda sad
Yea as a rein main I know what you mean. They basically have to be directly in front of your charge to get grabbed by it otherwise they just get bounced away.
His play probably dropped a bit cause be got mad that his team was trolling tbf
Oh absolutely
I still think making reins ult doing some damage was one of the best changes they made. I’m totally fine with it not being enough to one shot enemies, but even 100 damage is enough to secure a vital pick. I’m really liking where he’s at in the game.
The other day I pulled up barrier at spawn for my widow, let her get some shots in without pressure. Then I dived onto payload to get it rolling.
8:54 Thats caused by the change spawn option they introduced a while back. When the point is lost you can tp to the new spawn but since it was the third point he just got tp'ed to the same spawn.
5:23 I choked a bit lmaoooo
You posted right when I woke up, starting the day off right
Blizzard made elo hell the closest it's ever been to being real with this matchmaking
That happens when you can just make a new account in a few minutes.
@@realglutenfree explains why i have a 6 hour total playtime tank that somehow ranked up to diamond in 3 games and has trouble going through doorways
@@fpskoda467
That sounds more like a bought account though
@@realglutenfree Still takes an extra phone number and somewhere around 50 wins in quickplay, that ought to take more than a few minutes.
17:08 The tension buildup tho this was so hype, I felt so proud of him
As a casual console Andy your splashed in tips for characters really help a lot.
Hope to see your adventures in other games too in the future. ( on UA-cam)
The zen at 6:40 got a fat quad for being in bronze, god daum
balanced 5v5 hero
at 2 standing still no HP heroes, a barely mobile widow, and a half HP pharah, I'd be surprised if he missed too lol
@@Ale-km3ux i mean in bronze it's definitely possible for them to miss
@@Ale-km3ux it's bronze my guy, it's more impressive then a reaper hitting his alt. Enough said
Well this is a prime example of ELOHell. Feel sorry for everyone in that game except the trolls
For this to be elo hell it has to happen every match, only one match isn't enough to keep you stuck in a rank.
What does Elo mean?
@@EmJ.806 rank
@@Pedro_eqwthing is next match you play like shit because it kills your brain, if you want to improve you will but some days are hard and you cannot win every game by playing better.
@@zhoncinema True, but thats why you have to improve your mental as well, and know when to take a break
7:40 Feels Reinhardt man.
Awesome to start the day with flats 👍🏾
Of course the one time Flats breaks his "its a you issue, dont blame your team, that happens like 1 out of 20 games, its meaningless, if you're good you'll climb" mentality, its for a Rein lol
Having confidence is some weird secret drug in videogames.
I remember when i used to play fortnite. I spent a lot of months being awful and mostly hiding to win games. Every time i was convonced i was dead and just YOLO'd for the fuck of it, i would inexplicably do pretty well.
Cut to a few months later where im already convinced that i know what im doing and im actually pretty good at the game.
TL:DR get in there and trust yourself. You wont get it right every time, but you will be playing your best
I love how flats is actually trying to help this rein lol he always says these aren’t educational but he saw this wasn’t the rein’s fault so he tried to help. Nice!
Is this a new era of Nice Flats? I'm down for more like this!
I remember having this happen in plat as the two dps just went perma invis Sombra with a Tracer just blinking around enemies making fun of their aim. All the while once it mattered they would show up just to make the game longer... Was the only game I was glad we lost.
man this was really hard to watch. it was one of those games where you want to get out of it as fast as possible but some slimy troll keeps the entire lobby hostage.
When you switched to Tracer it didn't actually go to her location, it just loaded in her guns and HUD on top of Rein's location. It did the same thing when you went from Cass to Tracer.
5:25 Laughed so hard I had a coughing fit
When bro made a 180 to solo ult mei instead of the other three had my dead
The "okay I just witnessed an execution" got me
Flats' energy in this is completely different than normal, its back to Old Flats, like Overwatch 1 reviews instead of the energy he normally has with this, and its almost offputting, but very much amazing to watch.
This made my morning. Thank you flats!!!
The Rein/Kiriko/Zen combo is truly beautiful. Since their DPS were full trolling, the Kiri focused heal/cleanse and the Zen basically became the DPS 😂 love that
E: 6:40 elims
E: 8:45 cleanse
What a W trio 👌
Slam Damage IS LITERALLY ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, AND EVERY SINGLE DAY I AM THANKFUL FOR IT. FOR GLORY AND HONOR
The videos title is rein being hostage in a bronze lobby when i see the game the rein is dashing so stupidly i am impressed
bro i legit did not know zarya's bubble charged her weapon till like 3 years into playing the game. i legit thought he gun was like sym's and moira's
i actually got held hostage in a game by the other team recently and beat myself up for not having had submit it
13:20 I felt that in my soul
"THAT BOAT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST EVIL BOATS IN ALL OF GAMING." 👏👏👏
Flats I really respect the pick to play L.A. Noire's main theme as the background music. Such great music
2:04 "move up stop playing like a bitch"
2 minutes later: Rein still alive and pushed up but so are the other 4 players because it's bronze and two minutes disappear right there
This is pretty solid evidence that flats actually has no idea what its like below diamond and just should only comment on lobbies he is in all season.
Instead of waking up to flats, going to bed with flats sounds good too:3
no he’s mine!
“Why ah u gae?”
if he rolls over, you die
@@thebighoney9034 HAHAHAHA THATS SO FUNNY! SUCH A UNIQUE JOKE!!! 😂😂😂
ayo?
8:30 t-bag on the tracer was beautiful
BRO
THAT REAPER PANIC ULT AT THE END OF THE MATCH MADE ME PHYSICALLY UPSET. 💀💀💀
8:30 was the rein t-bagging their tracer?? LMFAOO
9:28 this did confuse the hell out of me. She was inside of rein.
that teleporting in spawn at cap is fun, when they cap if your in spawn it gives you the "switch spawn" option, but it doesn't switch you, it just rerolls your position in the spawn room, and if you spam it you just blink around, only happens on payload defense in my experience
This boat gave me more emotions than any person I’ve ever met
17:16 - the way I cheered ... lmfaooo my poor neighbors
Longer matches do give a little more xp but it's not a noticeable amount. Kinda annoying that they're doing this when new players just want to play the game.
14:48
DEMON SLAYED! BONK
Love the vids flats, i have learned so much about rein from watching your videos. Anywho, the other day i had a tank in comp, bronze 4, who was in voice coms and literally said "oh great another anna. Gg on the loss." We still won with me on mercy and the anna.
I was so confused cuz I could've swore I had watched this video before but I realised it was cuz I watched the stream for this lol
“they’re making their own pve experience” is so crazy but true
That's that L.A. Noire bgm. nice
I'm really glad this video just popped up on my homepage because I just experienced someone holding a bronze game hostage for the first time yesterday. It was a mauga that just did nothing half the game on the enemy team. We ended up winning
People how actually do this in ranked is disgusting, mad Respect to the Rein.
Rein Main: This makes me question many of my games now.
a rare flats being nice to the bronze player actual poggers
9:00 that’s the new teleporting to next spawn feature, it considers that final spawn both the old and the new and since the teams spawn in lines, the teleport with put him in each of those spots 1 by 1 every time he presses the interact key
With the title of the video that summarized my competitive rein plays up until this week im finally getting somewhere
I think the rein didn't realize he had shatter in some of these fights lol
So hard rooting for the success and failure of the exact same team
That boat...I survived a hog hook a few days ago thanks to that exact same boat, lol. That boat is either a devil, or an angel.
Got my game hijacked by a Lucio/Sombra throw duo pretending to be randoms and just trolling the game. The Sombra was actually playing their role at least, Lucio has 800 healing after 2 rounds, had 1 kill and 19 deaths. My only theory out of that game was that the Sombra was a smurf and playing the game to their advantage but the Lucio wasn't and was just hard throwing with their buddy in plat/diamond
@9:12 I think it was a camera issue. You saw the camera for Tracer being in the same place as Rein's location and assumed Tracer was in Rein's location (but in reality, the camera hasn't moved to Tracer's actual location just yet).
Is that LA Noire music in the background? What an inspired choice and good taste Editor.
holding them hostage for the equivalent of 5 whole qp push matches. crazy
I like this vid. I'm a bronze rein that recently hit gold and this gameplay reminds me a bit of my older self. You actually gave some great info this vid.
Love watching these games because you know damn well that tracers account belongs to the shadow realm now
respect the Mei solo shatter, no matter what rank
Petition to name the boat Randall.
i just noticed flats is subtly playing noir detective music in the background of his video and it sounds like its from no guns life
Bro saving his shatter for next round
I love it when karma kicks in. Sorry for Reins Team
yesterday i legit found a mercy who would not stop pocketing a roadhog
respect on the la noire soundtrack playing!
At 8:54 if you are spamming the interact button in final spawn you can to to all the different places you can spawn in the room
Never knew Flats is why we have headshot slam
that felt like heart burn
I remember this I was the zen (NAVYVIPER) and the dps was complaining about not getting healed fast enough
oh my gosh that was you??
@@kablamoo101 yea
NGL I might have quit overwatch all together if I was in this game that was purgatory
