For over four years now, Overwatch<\/em> <\/strong>has remained a fairly balanced game, with characters rarely feeling overpowered due to Blizzard\u2019s constant adjustments. However, the Overwatch<\/em><\/a> developers may have gone too far with a recent buff of Reinhardt, as the character\u2019s hammer is now being called \u201cbroken\u201d by many fans.<\/p>\n

The recent buff for Reinhardt<\/a> came as part of an experimental update, and while Rein mains will likely hope that the hero\u2019s new power level sticks, players of every other character are likely hoping for a nerf. While Reinhardt\u2019s hammer damage was only raised by 10 points, making each swing take away 85 HP instead of the usual 75, the change is more drastic than it seems. Players quickly discovered that, under the right circumstances, Reinhardt can now drop most of the Overwatch<\/em> roster in 2 hammer swings.<\/p>\n

Rein\u2019s new power was captured on video by a Twitter user named @jonoverwatc, where the player became one of many to call the current form of Reinhardt \u201cbroken.\u201d By working with certain healers, Reinhardt\u2019s swings can become strong enough to 2-shot heroes at 200 health \u2014 a huge portion of the game\u2019s roster. Mercy, who saw a funny change in a previous Overwatch<\/em> update<\/a>, can provide a damage boost to Rein, with Zenyatta adding a Discord orb to his targets. With two skilled healers on his side, the new Reinhardt is essentially unstoppable.<\/p>\n
