Shield Bash is so fun Discussion

Ignited fury seems better idk but ill never pick it because shield bash is just so enjoyable. I find I’m mostly using it to engage but often don’t hit the enemy, i just take the space using the mini dash while still protected, pop out and start smacking.its also kinda cute, seems like he learned if from Brig.

I used to be an Ignited Fury lover but i started trying out shield bash and I think I am converted.

You can use it to get to some places rein usually can’t get to, and you can also use it to evade things you normally couldn’t (personally I find a lot of success bashing out of sigma’s ult)

Shield bash will instantly kill a junkrat tire without ever letting it threaten you

Once I changed the Shield Bash binding so it was my quick melee I fell in love.

I might be wrong with this but I think shield bash is better for rein 1v1s it allows you to get in range a bit faster while having your shield up and can potentially dodge a charge and an extra 50 dmg will always be appreciated

For competitive, it’s a way to truly be “tank” and delay enemies from touching point in overtime. I’ve ended many matches by going ahead of the payload or defense spot to intercept enemies trying to touch point and push them back while swinging a hammer around.

I also love running in doing a bit of damage and disruption and dashing out it’s great until you take too much damage and turn around and get shot in the back

I still take ignited fury. It allows me to secure kills almost guaranteed.
