Is Rhino really OP?

Ok. I didn’t think it was you and this was definitely on a US server. But odd that somebody was using the same/similar name. Unless that is a character from some show/movie/book I’m not aware of anyway.

I’ve gone head-to-head with a Rhino on a heal station as Sawbonez and I’ve gotten the kill (destroyed the station first, then healed up and attacked again). Yes, he wasn’t the best Rhino, but as a support class with a piddly little SMG I was able to kill a buffed Rhino. With teamwork it would be more than possible to beat a more skilled Rhino, even if he had a team backing him up. Bad teamwork, however, will allow Rhino to destroy the enemy team with little to no resistance. If Rhino’s giving you problems, gang up on him (and be sure to kill the heal station if at all possible).

Yes.

People that play him might not get it, but all the arguments for him not being Op are actually reasons for him to be op. Yes Rhino can die, but it takes more than 1 player to do it, and they have to work in concert which is not something your gonna get from a pub lobby.

Rhino is a truck of pain, and he takes forever to die. If he gets an aura combo, or the phoenix, there is no reason why he should ever die. Fragger is pretty much the only hard counter for this character if the rhino has half a brain because he will only set up were he has cover from snipers.

Rhino is a truck with 200 health and a minigun that has limitless ammo. He will shit all over your hopes and dreams while the timer ticks down until the whole team can come together and overwhelm him at the cost of half of their own. Every game I have played, with the exception of a very small few, has clearly swung towards rhinos favor. And the other team knows how broken he is as well.

I see auras desperately spamming their defibs on a fully dead rhino hoping to breath some life back into the fool. They know how good he is, and I’m surprised they dont feel dirty with the wins they get. Half of em talk smack as they get easy kills because Rhino is easy to kill steal from. Then that rhino finally leaves and its like someone let an air out of a balloon. The few that know they are actually crap run for it and the rest get destroyed.

Rhino doesn’t get many actual kills, he gets assists and he makes it way to easy for his team to get that finishing blow. Next time you see a review board with a rhino on it look at his kills. That 8 kills or whatever isn’t going to tell you the story. Most of your teams deaths came from Rhino giving his team assists. The fatty probably has around 30 or so of em.

He can be OP in the same sense a good Fragger is op. People usually use Rhino defensively, holding a choke point which is fine but as soon as you get aggressive with him and have a medic back you up he is a force to be reckoned with. A good Rhino will never sit still, hence his name.

Nice necro.

(Rhino isn’t OP, he’s just a chore to take care of because of his dull, easy to use ability and health pool. Which is a shame, his VA is amazing, but the merc is so mind numbingly boring)
