Req for Reinhardt/new player tips (and a question)
New player here trying to learn Reinhardt because my friends tell me that I’ve actually played my best as a tank so far when we’ve been practicing. The biggest issue I run into is not knowing when to pull back, how to utilize his charge (seriously, how do I use it? It seems to kill me more than it’s useful) and how to counter specific enemies.
My more specific question for this subreddit is this: how do I deal with the enemy tank rushing my shield/ getting behind it? The two characters I’ve seen do this the most are D.Va and Ram.
Other than that, I’d take any advice anyone wants to give me that isn’t just “don’t bother”. I genuinely want to get better but I got my first ‘tank diff’ the other day when I don’t think I was actually doing that bad. It was pretty disheartening. I typically mitigate 20,000+ damage and do anywhere between 3000 to 3500 damage (this is a weakness of mine I’m working on). I’ve gotten MVP several times in quick play too, so obviously I’m doing SOMETHING right but there’s always room for improvement.
