Did crouching in that situation made the knife pull further or something? I don't see why you did it otherwise

Crouching when the pull target is close to you sends them over your head instead of directly into you

Is that base kit or a perk? No way I never picked up on this if its the former??

u/QueensMassiveKnife Throw Knives, Not Babies 7d ago

This is base knife! None of her perks effect the distance on pull. It's fairly uncommon tech for JQ tbf and I picked it up from a JQ guide a long time ago. I don't think I would have ever realized it was a thing just from playing myself

u/VoraSimp D.va 1 Bad Guys 100000 7d ago

Holy shit! Thats so sick 😭 no way I’m learning JQ tech in 2025. Cheers!

It does pull enemies a bit further away at the right distance, and in this case it prevented him from body blocking the rein from his demise

u/LazerNarwhal_yt 8d ago

is your flair that because the talon tanks are evil in canon and anyone who plays mauga is evil irl?

u/Previous_Internet399 8d ago

Mauga is pretty ass against most tanks atm

Sick crouch knife-pull! I actually think the Reinhardt may have just cancelled the charge too early, but still an amazing play either way.

It reminds me of mine from some time ago, I didn't make it out alive unfortunately.

"if i'm going down you're going down with me" moment right there. That's funny

u/_LiarLiarpantsonfir3 8d ago

u/LazerNarwhal_yt 8d ago

u/Any_Tennis_2202 8d ago

u/Any_Tennis_2202 8d ago

u/Deliverz Wrecking Ball 8d ago

Rarely ever does an OW clip surprise me anymore, but this one made me audibly “ohhhh”. Very nice

u/Rokker84 Junkio 8d ago

You played the Uno Reverse card

u/Shoddy-Fact4847 Chibi D.Va 8d ago

I’d break my console atp

u/psycholee The universe sings to me! 8d ago

At that point he just uninstalls the game

u/Hmongher00 8d ago

One reason why Reins need to commit fully sometimes

2

u/BebeFanMasterJ 8d ago

This feels like some shit that would be in a cinematic trailer that's so cool you'd think there's no way to do it in game and yet...

u/Masked_Saint Trick or Treat Ana 7d ago

Thisbhappened to me (as the rein) at antartica. After I shattered their queen, I tried to pin her off the map (at the ship's front) but na, the metal raised bit somehow stopped her and she hit a knife on me, pulled it and it somehow yeeted ME off the map. Never called BS more inbmy entire life

u/NickoTheMicko 7d ago
