The German knight Reinhardt from Overwatch still has some bugs. One of them particularly frustrates players.
Although Overwatch regularly releases patches and updates that should fix bugs, there are still a few problems that keep reappearing.
Especially Reinhardt’s players have been complaining for months that there are strange moments when they want to play their favorite hero. For a long time, the abilities of the German knight were faulty, and the animation did not match the speed of the actual effect. If someone swung a hammer at their opponent, they sometimes had to wait a full second for the hit to count.
The same applies to his ultimate ability. Occasionally, enemies who are clearly in the ability’s range are not affected by the stun at all.
Clear line of fire and yet no hit
And his charge still seems to be faulty, as this video by sinatraaow impressively shows:
Even though Reinhardt sneaks up on the opposing McCree quietly and the latter doesn’t even try to dodge the charge, he simply bounces off Reinhardt and survives.
Moments like these currently frustrate Reinhardt’s players massively, as they occur with several abilities and often create the impression that one lost a fight because of it.
Blizzard has not yet made a statement on this. At least the bugs with the incorrect animations seem to be fixed by now, but Reinhardt’s charge remains a mystery bag.
Have you experienced such moments with Reinhardt? Or have you been spared from misfortune and always managed to pin your opponents cleanly against the wall?
Have you ever imagined Overwatch as a Netflix series? This is how it would look!
