The big Reinhardt rework in the breakable barriers patch sped up his gameplay by lowering his shield health, but increasing his move speed and resistance to knockback with the steadfast buff. This empowered Rein’s mechanics to carry his gameplay and made him a serious force on the battlefield, he is now less about playing scared of all the things that can kill him easily and instead more about imposing his will with strong tank mechanics and overwhelming his opponents by hitting his abilities. In this video we cover everything we could think of when it comes to playing the new and improved Reinhardt, you can check below for timestamps for the different sections.
