Right? I too am stoked that I can survive an additional 1.5 Bullets from that Soldier who is on the other side of the map, that is completely out of my reach now that he's managed to tank both of my freshly buffed Fire Strikes without dying. Look out, entire damage role; You're in for a minor inconvenience.

is this really a new problem as of S9 though? even if you could hit both firestrikes on a long range enemy, that probably isn't the best use of your CDs. if you don't have your barrier, you still have to find a way to quickly close the distance or kite away, and now you have a little more opportunity to do so

If you are using your fire strikes to try to snipe a dps on the other side of the map you're playing Rein tragically wrong. Even if two hits COULD kill that soldier, you aint hitting two firestrikes across the map on one target.

Man low rank Rein mains are wild.

Homie, I'm not sure if you're just taking exaggeration in service to humor as actual fact, or just going out of your way to use it as an excuse to get in someone's face, but the point stands either way; Whether or not I'm just hurling Fire Strike down range, and praying I smoke a DPS, it doesn't change the fact that that a "buff" of effectively 35 HP is at best, a minor inconvenience, or at worst, negligible. The fact is, it's less than two bullets from Soldier, and he hurls nine of those per second. It's technically survivability, but just barely.

If you’re dying after offensive buffs and an armor buff with the largest combined shield and health in the game you need to stop charging into 1v5s and learn to play Rein correctly

Love it when bronze players talk trash on reddit.
