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.
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.
@@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
@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.
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

@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
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.)
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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)
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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'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
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
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.
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 👌
@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).
8:54 The game gives you the option to switch spawn at the end of a round on def payload, but if you press it it just putts you back in that spawn at a difftent location... so spamming it can be... jarring
At the end of overwatch 1 I was a low silver tank and a low gold support. Now I’m a low diamond tank and haven’t touched my support, but let me tell you. Even when you carry as tank in low roles, it’s so hard to climb with throwers and smurfs, it’s impossible. The only reason I got out is because I started playing with a great group. One who was honestly a Smurf but we play with him because we genuinely like handing out with him. We are so much fun together it’s a good time
Which swing tech do you want to use? I know how to shorten swings for a faster block cancel, or to aim the cross hair to the side of them to extend the swing, or swinging the camera in the direction of the swing, or just wiggling it slightly while mostly tracking the target?
9:00 at the end of a game it pops up with the switch spawn message but it just tps you randomly on the last spawn. That’s what happens if you spam it LOL
It happens more frequent in bronze than you think. Yesterday a trio with all 3 pride flags were trolling and threw my game, walking in a straight line not shooting and dying. Today a dps genji threw in circuit royal(I even have the code) we were trying so hard we were borderline 4v5 ing and winning while our genji was breaking the rocks around the stairs(lost game. genji could touch but didn't). Today another match on numbani a rein actively threw the entire game while me and the 2 dps had to cook to win the first round but still the guy runs 1v5 everytime. Sometimes tank players feed so hard that they start screaming and goes afk throughout the match(happened like 10-12 times by now)
I’m not in bronze, but I’ve had many a game where there’s straight up nothing you can do when your team complete fails at everything and you just can’t do any more than you’re doing
I had a game recently with the other team full of claimed gm smurfs who took the game to 9-9( 3 attacks each) and let us win because our team was chill about the whole thing. I was in bronze 3 at the time on dps.
Honestly I’m a mercy main in gold and 70% of the games I loose are from our DPS throwing because they won’t get off widow even when the enemy tank swaps to MONKIE, or a sombra rolls the back line because nobody will turn around, ironically enough I have over 100 blaster kills since I have to battle mercy everytime someone dives otherwise I just get picked.
It’s weird, there’s a few characters where doing the right thing will hold you back in lower ranks. Sombra/tracer for instance, your tank isn’t going to play too aggressive in low ranks because “where are the dps?!?!” And your distractions become useless
The key here is that the "right thing" changes depending on what your team is doing. You trying to toy with both of their supports while your team isn't pushing or engaged in a team fight isn't "the right thing". Their team will turn around and kill you and then your team is inevitably going to stagger in. If there are no plays to be made with dive characters...even if it's just at that portion of the map...swap off dive. That's the "right thing" to do. Swap back when it becomes useful again if you want. Sure at higher ranks, especially for dive characters, you'll find that more play options become available to you based on people generally being more engaged/active. It isn't your team's fault that you dove in and got burned though. Find the hole in your team's play and try to fill it with an appropriate dps character.
@@TheEpicTsube that’s what I mean though, unless something else is going on that didn’t get communicated to you the flex dps controls that engage, or is suppose to anyway. If your tank doesn’t know that then the entire playstyle of having a flex dps is completely out the window
Old video, but happens to me a lot. 1 day I win 4 in a row, next day so many afk and troll I lose 4. Now, if I lose one I take a break so the people I queued earlier will likely not be in my game. It works
8:53 this is actually a button that’s called “switch spawns” And if you’re defending and they push the payload to the end some maps will let you spam the button Btw the button does what it says, it’s supposed to be used when a spawn point is not active and you’re still in it, if you do use it you’d just get teleported to the current spawn point

When bro made a 180 to solo ult mei instead of the other three had my dead
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?
"THAT BOAT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST EVIL BOATS IN ALL OF GAMING." 👏👏👏
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.
i actually got held hostage in a game by the other team recently and beat myself up for not having had submit it
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 👌
@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).
8:54
The game gives you the option to switch spawn at the end of a round on def payload, but if you press it it just putts you back in that spawn at a difftent location... so spamming it can be... jarring
BRO
THAT REAPER PANIC ULT AT THE END OF THE MATCH MADE ME PHYSICALLY UPSET. 💀💀💀
5:25 Laughed so hard I had a coughing fit
Slam Damage IS LITERALLY ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, AND EVERY SINGLE DAY I AM THANKFUL FOR IT. FOR GLORY AND HONOR
Is that LA Noire music in the background? What an inspired choice and good taste Editor.
8:30 t-bag on the tracer was beautiful
At the end of overwatch 1 I was a low silver tank and a low gold support. Now I’m a low diamond tank and haven’t touched my support, but let me tell you. Even when you carry as tank in low roles, it’s so hard to climb with throwers and smurfs, it’s impossible. The only reason I got out is because I started playing with a great group. One who was honestly a Smurf but we play with him because we genuinely like handing out with him. We are so much fun together it’s a good time
Which swing tech do you want to use? I know how to shorten swings for a faster block cancel, or to aim the cross hair to the side of them to extend the swing, or swinging the camera in the direction of the swing, or just wiggling it slightly while mostly tracking the target?
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
8:30 was the rein t-bagging their tracer?? LMFAOO
That's that L.A. Noire bgm. nice
So hard rooting for the success and failure of the exact same team
9:00 at the end of a game it pops up with the switch spawn message but it just tps you randomly on the last spawn. That’s what happens if you spam it LOL
Man im gonna be sad when u leave this game
Time for Paladins
“they’re making their own pve experience” is so crazy but true
It happens more frequent in bronze than you think.
Yesterday a trio with all 3 pride flags were trolling and threw my game, walking in a straight line not shooting and dying. Today a dps genji threw in circuit royal(I even have the code) we were trying so hard we were borderline 4v5 ing and winning while our genji was breaking the rocks around the stairs(lost game. genji could touch but didn't).
Today another match on numbani a rein actively threw the entire game while me and the 2 dps had to cook to win the first round but still the guy runs 1v5 everytime.
Sometimes tank players feed so hard that they start screaming and goes afk throughout the match(happened like 10-12 times by now)
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.
17:16 - the way I cheered ... lmfaooo my poor neighbors
a rare flats being nice to the bronze player actual poggers
The "okay I just witnessed an execution" got me
I’m not in bronze, but I’ve had many a game where there’s straight up nothing you can do when your team complete fails at everything and you just can’t do any more than you’re doing
I had a game recently with the other team full of claimed gm smurfs who took the game to 9-9( 3 attacks each) and let us win because our team was chill about the whole thing. I was in bronze 3 at the time on dps.
Honestly I’m a mercy main in gold and 70% of the games I loose are from our DPS throwing because they won’t get off widow even when the enemy tank swaps to MONKIE, or a sombra rolls the back line because nobody will turn around, ironically enough I have over 100 blaster kills since I have to battle mercy everytime someone dives otherwise I just get picked.
It’s weird, there’s a few characters where doing the right thing will hold you back in lower ranks. Sombra/tracer for instance, your tank isn’t going to play too aggressive in low ranks because “where are the dps?!?!” And your distractions become useless
The key here is that the "right thing" changes depending on what your team is doing. You trying to toy with both of their supports while your team isn't pushing or engaged in a team fight isn't "the right thing". Their team will turn around and kill you and then your team is inevitably going to stagger in. If there are no plays to be made with dive characters...even if it's just at that portion of the map...swap off dive. That's the "right thing" to do. Swap back when it becomes useful again if you want. Sure at higher ranks, especially for dive characters, you'll find that more play options become available to you based on people generally being more engaged/active. It isn't your team's fault that you dove in and got burned though. Find the hole in your team's play and try to fill it with an appropriate dps character.
@@TheEpicTsube that’s what I mean though, unless something else is going on that didn’t get communicated to you the flex dps controls that engage, or is suppose to anyway. If your tank doesn’t know that then the entire playstyle of having a flex dps is completely out the window
With the title of the video that summarized my competitive rein plays up until this week im finally getting somewhere
I'm an bronze player and would love to hear your thoughts on how I can improve. How do I go about uploading a replay for you to comment on?
I'm pretty sure you put the replay in the discord
I'm not in it myself and I'm just going off of a hunch though, so make sure to fact check first XD
I think the rein didn't realize he had shatter in some of these fights lol
Old video, but happens to me a lot. 1 day I win 4 in a row, next day so many afk and troll I lose 4. Now, if I lose one I take a break so the people I queued earlier will likely not be in my game. It works
14:48
DEMON SLAYED! BONK
8:53 this is actually a button that’s called “switch spawns” And if you’re defending and they push the payload to the end some maps will let you spam the button
Btw the button does what it says, it’s supposed to be used when a spawn point is not active and you’re still in it, if you do use it you’d just get teleported to the current spawn point
9:25 seems like some bug with the spectator cam not updating properly when paused
This boat gave me more emotions than any person I’ve ever met
holding them hostage for the equivalent of 5 whole qp push matches. crazy
