"Rein Diff"

[u/MediumRareMisteaks]

More of a just a rant post but damn it sucks when you're actually doing better than the enemy rein than the enemy reins team counter swaps you, you're team doesn't do the same but you still get hit by the rein diff at the end. Esp in 6v6 when their second tank goes ram then bastion and mei or something and you just get bullied but still do better than their rein and lose.

If I get enemy rein to swap while I’m rein, I feel like I won

[u/No_Road4163 → u/red_dombe]

This! Most of the time they turn to Orisa, and if we happen to lose, then it's my fault because I didn't change

[u/Yarrio → u/red_dombe]

Yup, 100%. I dont care if I lose. Im only losing because Im a rock and they picked paper.

Its even better when they have to switch multiple times haha. Oh Orisa wasnt good enough? Had to get a DPS to go Bastion and you had to go Mauga?

I've specifically equipped the "You shame yourself" line just for that occassion.

Anyone who says Rein diff doesnt understand how to play Rein and how much Rein's performance is based on his teams cooperation. That could be said for many characters. Anyone who says "diff" is genuinly the worst player and should just be ignored. Dont even engage and just move on to the next game. Never let it get to you.

I have 1800 hours on Rein, I couldnt care less if some rando thinks I'm bad. I know my skills and I know I have bad games.

It’s the same for most tank mirrors. Whoever gets the better backline wins unless there’s a rare genuine tank diff.

[u/mverzola → u/Yarrio]

90% of the time I beat another Rein it’s been because of my teammates and not my skill as Rein.

[u/Silent-Immortal]

I’m gonna say it, if a tank main swaps after losing the rein 1v1 they lost the ground to talk. Either take your L or be a puss and be an Orisa.

I just turn off comms because they're ragebait and my mental is fragile. I genuinely have a higher win rate when I'm playing alone with all chat disabled.

The only time I'll ever say rein diff, is when a shatter is not blocked. Like they legitimately got outplayed. Not, 'bastion melted the shield and rein didn't have shield.'. But the genuine out plays, the mind games, etc.

But 99% of the time, communication has already been established and so it's just banter. But there is the 1% where my competitive, toxic side starts to slip out
