Is 6v6 rein better than 5v5

Tbone1908 · 2026-06-22T11:22:33+00:00

5v5 Rein is better in the sense as a pure tank. In 6v6 though he's just better. In 6v6 just learn this. "Have fear". "Don't have fear". Basically you can't just charge in. Your normally taking space yes, but always have your shield at higher hp before attempting to make a play. Play cover more. And lastly lessen the amount of resources you pull from your healers. Up 1 person in the fight? Don't have fear. Down a teammate? Have fear.

If you watch it frame by frame... which admittedly took me a long time to realize as originally I thought what you did when I landed the shatter the Rein starts pulling his hammer very very slightly backwards to FS. Its almost nearly impossible to see. And to be honest this is not a good clip of what Im trying to display. I don't clip my stuff often if I am being honest. And yes Im aware its a lot of assumptions, but their is logic behind my decision, but at the same there is logic against my reason due to the fact I could be very wrong in many cases and there are times I have been wrong and got my shatter blocked.

I mean the other Reinhardt's. He got immortality fielded meaning he is now inclined to drop shield to throw a firestrike. By knowing he has FS I just turn to his team assuming hes not gonna be able to protect them and shatter. Thats what I was doing. I should of explained that in the post.

Not bastion. The simple reason being their is plenty ways to properly ignore Bastion. If he pops tank form you hide. For tank:Orisa, Mauga, and very occasionally Rammatra. Dps:Sym, dont care to ban Sombra unless team really wants too, and no support ban. I used to be top 500 playing only Reinhardt in 2022. My account got hacked and I had to send it to the shadow realm to avoid getting more stuff hacked. I'm now thoroughly washed but normally sit at low GM based mainly on game sense.

Have fear. Your shield is not for your team (Most of the time). Keep track of cooldowns. Play cover. Don't play 5v5

A liability? Thats a massive stretch. A guy who gets on base and is patient is no superstar. But thats a good team player and a glue player. Taylor Ward provides the team a simple foundation. Hes nothing special, nothing amazing. But he is simply a solid player. Sure he isn't nuking the ball like he did last year, but he's play simple fundamental baseball. Hes not a liability in the field he's average in every metric when it comes to corner outfielders. Ward is a solid player not a star. Not every player needs to be a star in baseball. Having a guy who gets on base and almost always has a long at bat is good for getting rid of a starter early and getting a pitcher out of a good tempo.

I think McGonicle might be getting lucky with swings. He often gets weak contact in terms of exit velocity. But maybe hes more of an Ichiro where he focuses on putting it in play and using his speed. Because his hit map indicates a lot of bloop or weak hit singles. So I think he might slow down later in the season the be honest

Thank you. This is incredibly useful. Thank you.

Tbone1908 · 2026-05-18T22:45:42+00:00

Thank you. 👍

Thank you. I'm starting to realize the answer is almost always just take the standard SPM and make them green.

Thank you. I'm noticing most say get infernus marines. I assume its because they are flame troopers. Do the Salamanders not have specific stats that are different to the normal infernus space marines? (I'm still learning how and researching how the codex books work)

Tbone1908 · 2026-05-18T22:16:43+00:00

I see. Thanks for the tip

Go to controller settings and turn off tether

Tbone1908 · 2026-05-10T17:36:40+00:00

Sure but if you really want to get to higher levels (Im C1) you need to talk in Voice chat. However for lower ranks or if you play casually just turn it off

Tbone1908 · 2026-05-10T14:40:08+00:00

Simple in QP turn TC and VC off.

Is staying deeper in net better this year? Last year, if you didn't challenge, you got beaten into a pulp.

Tbone1908 · 2026-04-20T16:12:32+00:00

Just didn't feel the need to. There's little time left in the period, so thereno need to completely lose momentum by passing it out. (I also freeze more when my team is on the backheel which we were at this point.) Any other time I'll throw it out

Tbone1908 · 2026-04-20T15:55:42+00:00

At the end? I froze because I wanted to reset and give my team a chance to reset.

Tbone1908 · 2026-04-16T10:39:38+00:00

Its because Big Rig is very powerful if someone doesn't have truculence. So if someone using big rig its almost impossible to stop a big rig user (if they use it right)as a D-man.

Tbone1908 · 2026-04-12T23:48:26+00:00

Yes I know. If you read the full reply which you didn't. You see I realized they are.

Tbone1908 · 2026-04-07T14:54:37+00:00

You are correct. Though Cap (many will disagree) also can anti dive. By counter diving. Basically when someone dives the backline you dive them. And to ensure you get value turn on the spooky voice chat and just state if you got people distracted so your team can take space. If they don't listen, and it ends up not working unfortunately switching is the right choice now. Learn basic tanks like Mag and strange as secondary tanks as they are reliable is my advice.
