Idea for reinhardt

In this new era of Overwatch which we playing 5v5 and with only 1 Tank, we saw a lot of players complaining about Rein which can’t fit into to every comp, he’s not in a good spot for brawl (Orisa is just better now) and Rein gonna always need a Lucio for playing against other comps

Here’s my idea
When Reinhardt swings he will get a speed boost (similar to Mei on Experimental when she was using her primary attack under her self gives her speed boost) here is my explain why Rein can gives speed boost, so he’s hammer is so heavy right? And when you swing something heavy it will throws you forward right? And don’t panic it can be balanced and no Reinhardt with Lucio speed boost will not be able to run in the map with 200 miles per hour. If Lucio speed boost with Amp It Up reachs something like 50% speed boost (i don’t know the exact numbers sorry) Reinhardt speed can’t go further than 50%. The only thing i wan’t from this buff is “Reduce his needs to others for making more impact”

So I’m not sure this idea make it to devs hands but i hope it does. I was just thinking about it maybe its a good idea maybe its not but i hope at least they read it. (Sorry if my English is little messed up)

Trust me Rein is fine in OW2.

He won’t be suitable for every comp, and that is perfect. No hero should be always playable all the time. You should have to plan, strategies and mix it up. Also, if you give him speed boost through swing… It renders Lucio utterly useless. People need a time and reason to play him.

Hope you get into the beta tomorrow! (or watch the streams to get a code Wednesday!).
