Having spent well over 100 hours playing as Reinhardt in Overwatch, I'm well-acquainted with the tediously punishing main tank experience: you shield your allies from an onslaught of projectiles that would surely cut them to ribbons. Meanwhile a lone teammate risks it all for a vital pick that will let you push the line forward – alas, they were killed instantly. Suddenly, as your shield falters, an enemy flanker that no one was prepared to deal with guts your healers – a swift death and the long walk back to do it all over again until the enemy wins is your only fate. Truly, to main Reinhardt is to suffer.
That's why when Marvel Rivals launched, I sternly vowed to my friends that I would never main Doctor Strange to avoid the mental anguish of being The Shield Guy again. Yet, I eventually had to try the Sorcerer Supreme out, and to my surprise, he was a lot more fun than I was anticipating – a lot more so than his rocket hammer-toting counterpart.
