Its all tricky, if your playing against rein, He is gonna throw his first two fire strikes, probably right were you place your sheild, usually one right after the other. So you can absorb both of them. So if your playing rein, throw one fire strike, and see if he uses absorb, wait till its done then throw the other one. Then its all about rock throw. If your sig, wait till he tries to charge and hit him with rock, if your rein, you need to sheild fake him and save you charge. If you can walk him down, without your sheild breaking, he will throw rock soon as you walk past his sheild usually, so sheild up right before he does, soon as you block the rock, shoulder charge, and remember rocks gonna come back while you fight him, so get used to the cool down and throw the sheild back up while you are swinging your hammer. As Sigma a close rein is bad, but doesnt always mean death, remember you still gotta hit him with your pebbles, and if you can rock him again while he is close, thats two while he is on the ground for flinching. The best way to counter one, is to learn to play the other. I dont think picking a counter is necessarily always the right move. Its a game of wits when trying to out tank another tank, so always be playing chess while the other dude is playing checkers.

Rein vs Ram is an interesting topic. They both are able to out trade each other but that's not where the debate should be rooted at. We know Rein has better stats. We also need to look at Ramattras playstyle. If Ramattra clicks Nemesis form, chucking into a tank is not efficient use of it. Typically they go for the squishier targets right after taking Nemesis form. That being said, rein has really good tools to peel against that. Therefore I actually favor rein in this engagement
@BaileysOver

my perspective on this essentially comes from which tank has better survivability if when the resources run out. for sure, Ram shouldn't just be punching into a Rein, but if the Rein is low HP he can do NOTHING to stop the Ram from finishing him off. on the other hand, if Ramattra is low HP, his block is still SUPER effective against Rein's hammer :)

This is obviously slightly outdated since it's before Mauga came out, but I've been STRUGGLING to the point of full-on tilting during matches... and it's mainly because of 2 tanks in particular: Mauga and Reinhardt. Every other game lately I get these two idiots on the enemy team alternating. I main DVa and she can survive them, but she cant push forward. She doesnt survive long enough to really dive, they just spin around and melt you if you try. So I tried Mauga vs Reinhardt because I was told online that that was the new choice for counter, and it doesn't work... He's so upclose, and Mauga's bullets dont really do enough damage medium range to melt the shield so you gotta go right up in his face. I keep trying to slam beyond his shield so his entire team or most of them plus himself get disoriented, but it doesn't last long enough to fully kill anyone beyond a single support, which i die in the process since my team never wants to push with me. I'm gonna try Orisa vs Reinhardt in Unranked for a few weeks and see if I can crack the code finally, but Im not crossing my fingers..

Seems a little artificial considering the matchups 1v1 for tanks when you need to put things into perspective of the team tactics. Zarya is the worst against Rein and I've won several times using Rein vs Zarya and Zarya vs Rein because of team comps and Rein not being able to dive for close combat (Zenyata, Ana or anything like it on my team, since he needs huge amounts of healing you go for his healers and he turns his back to my team). Same when I had either bad teamates or other dps from the other team that dove in and makes it impossible to advance or keep a line.

oh for sure! I tried to include their playstyles (eg, dive) and even some compositional factors when making this list... but Overwatch is SO nuanced, it's impossible to nail everything :')

Why does no one talk about Ram vs Winston match-up?
@BaileysOver
Жыл бұрын
honestly, I think this is a slight matchup for Winston in hindsight. however, Ram compositions are typically brawl compositions, which can counter Winston by staying close together and punishing him. so it favours Winston, but not that strongly imo :)

I think it's more of an even matchup personally :) if the Sigma player keeps his effective range, then Rein can't do much in this matchup except walk and shield. I like it as a Sigma player, but I can see why Rein players like it too, so I settled on even matchup :)

I can see that, but I do think the bubbles help Zarya out a lot here. Doom also has no defence to her beam, and she can kinda just walk into the Doom's team with little to no issue. it's definitely closer to even than a lot of the matchups out there, but I would give Doom the slight edge :)

@@BaileysOver zarya has no stuns vs doom, so its safe to block against her. And doom is always on a cooldown loop, so its very easy attack only when she doesnt have bubbles. Zarya also cant chase around doom. she has no mobility. I play doom alot and its easy to fight against her.

Winston is a different kind of dive to something like Doomfist. Doomfist goes in, tries to get the kill, then gets out. Winston is a more sustained style of dive, usually with more assistance from his teammates. this generally means that they can EITHER wait for the bubble to expire, or they can break through the bubble and kill the enemy after (since they planned to be engaged for a longer period of time than a Doomfist would). it's moreso down to the team composition - with Doom being more solo than Winston :)

I dont think orisa is particulary good against junker queen, coming up close orisa can not sustain the costant damage of junker queen and her healing while its very easy to aim with knife to pull her due to her large hitbox and low movility, i have used junker queen against her a lot and i find the matchup pretty favorable

that's fair enough! I think if the Orisa player uses her cooldowns smartly, she can be a great stopper to everything Junker Queen tries to do. but hety, more power to you man B)

Disagree with ram against sigma Sigma can stay back and use his balls against ram in his nemesis mode his big rock gives him time to go back and hit ram at the same time, ram’s shield really isn’t a big problem to sigma cause if ram is in omnic form he could just suck up all projectiles thrown by ram or any teammate and gets a health boost. Also sigma balls are unbelievably strong.

Sigma is a super strong tank! but the speed boost that Ram gains from entering nemesis form is very effective at closing Sigma's space - even if he gets rocked. up close, Sigma doesn't really stand a chance imo :(

I mean it more of a general term to describe the role. if you play tank A, they swap to tank B, so you should swap to tank C, right? rather than meaning SPECIFIC tanks contribute. I hope that makes sense :')

hahah no worries, I gotchu! I'd probably recommend learning SUPER different tanks, so you have good options on a wide variety of maps for a poke tank, I'd recommend picking up Sigma. super balanced rn, has very evenly distributed matchups, but will require some mechanical practice for brawl, I'd recommend Orisa. she has GREAT brawl matchups, probably won't ever be too weak in the meta, and all you'll real need to pick up is her cooldown cycle for dive, I'd recommend DVa. not really a DIVE dive hero, but can function like one and has a LOT of extra utility. her matchups are very good, but she will be the most aim intensive out of these three tanks if you're new to the tank role in general, I'd recommend learning on Rein. I've just finished editing a video about the best "pick up and play" heroes on every role - so stay tuned if you're thinking about picking up tank :D

I'd say it's pretty even :) if the Winston is able to isolate the Rein's teammates, then the Winston wins this matchup 100% of the time. however, if Rein's team are running a heavily brawl based comp, there's not much Winston can do - especially if they all group up with the Rein and allow him to peel for the Winston easily :)
