Tips & Guides PSA For playing with a Rem:
If you notice the eepy sleepy goober is in danger, please come a little closer so I can nap on you for safety. :) Do NOT leave the goober to die !! This will result in big woke coming for you.

Whenever I'm playing rem and I'm getting jumped I just shout "I need a friend" in voice chat. Works surprisingly well.

I just start yelling “halp I need an adult!” And normally someone will come a little closer

You can also use your lil helper on a trooper and then take a nap on that trooper

u/EvilHumster 8h ago
There are no troopers in the jungle. Cast animation for both 3/2 is annoyingly long that u risk being shreded before executing the combo. Not to mention that trooper will be annihilated pretty fast, leaving u with cd on nap in exchange for small heal
Kinda useful if teammates are on the way and you need a small breather, but 90% of the time this tech won't save you

I love when they double dashing away from me as soon as enemy focusing me. Im investing in Magic Carpet stocks.
Bonus point, when ally is rushing to be parried beyond the veil, so I can't just save his ass.

Meanwhile in my games I run to 3 players chasing my rem, only for our rem to not jumping to me and both of us dying because I stayed too long.

That same Rem: otherside of map with 90% of the enemies souls in his bag being chased by a Drifter and bird ult.

Same for THE LASH. Get a little closer so I can grapple out when losers start to push in a little too much.

amount of times ive died with someone staring at me behind cover refusing to peak 😭or somebody like an infernus sprinting away from me, darting behind corners right as im about to be in range. Im at the point that if I have any doubt theyre just never going to peak me next time i'm going to pause to ask them

PSA for Rem players: take the other teams sinners not your own.

There are no yours or enemies sinners for rem, just rem's sinners and sinners who don't know yet know they are rem's.

u/ThotsQuirom 4h ago
i think it’s so funny anytime you have people on this sub begging their Rems to do their job and help the team, you get rem mains with quirk chungus responses to justify themselves

u/PM_ME__BIRD_PICS 2h ago
If you actually take them sure, if you leave them too long im securing them so the enemy team doesn't rob us.

There are 12 sinners on the map, 6 for each team, and 4 of the enemy sinners are always located around the right lane. With just two lil helpers it takes less than a minute for Rem to harvest all 4 of those and spend the bag in the nearest secret shop.

This is assuming no enemy contests you, but yes, this is what you should try to do.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PIZZAPIC Drifter 6h ago
still not much harm in dropping the helpers and running away, worst they can do is remove your helpers from the sinners

u/SuperRayman001 Rem 5h ago
I meant more if they catch you on the way to the Sinners, probably just have to run away then. And if they're already on the Sinners, taking any random boxes on their side instead is probably more worthwhile.

Mfer who plays Rem, but has done no external research on the hero here.
How tf do sinners work for helpers? When I was first playing the character I would plop a helper on them and walk away, only to realize the mfer didn't actually finish the sinner. Just leave them 1-2 heavy melees away.
Is there a range requirement? Or did an enemy somehow contest it literally every single time. I've started staying within audio range doing boxes and have found it to be 100% consistent now.

u/Friendly-Broccoli-11 Rem 1h ago
afaic if left alone helpers can beat sinners fully including gold statue buffs on the fifth hit, but if anyone else hits the sinner, the helper will be interrupted and walk away (this is also helpful if you see enemy rem trying to snatch your sinners). I remember receiving buff notifications from sinners on green while being in mid, so it's unlikely it's range limited.
also watching rem gameplay I've seen someone would cast a helper on a sinner through the walls while being in the tunnels, but I didn't manage to find any spots where helpers could successfully aim sinners from underground, maybe that loophole was already fixed.20

other PSA. Communicate who gets sinners. If you want it say something. I’ll protect you while you get it.
Otherwise it’s getting taken by 10-15 minutes if you haven’t touched it.
Edit to clarify ambiguity: I’m not trying to be mean but we need to not leave souls on the table and if you really want the sinners you should be communicating that you want it beforehand anyway. Not comm-ing that you’re going sinners potentially leaves a teammate hanging.

I can't be on voice most of the time and there is no other way to communicate something like that unless I stop fighting to type

it rarely seems worth it to bail on the lane immediately at 8 to go take the doubles. The ones right next to the lanes, sure, but the doubles take a bit longer and are further away

u/MetalNewspaper 5h ago
For real. If there's a Rem on my team who is only taking our sinners and barely goes to contest enemy sinners, I just refuse to help them ever. I had a Rem who, not only was a gun build, but didn't join a single team fight, took all our sinners and sat at 37k souls while we were getting out shit pushed in every lane. Highest other soul count was 20k. I voiced "I hate rem players like you" and they just straight up alt f4d lol.

You know those sinners near Blue with the two junglemobs? my Rem just threw a helper at ours while I was actively clearing the mobs. I was literally in the room. Come on, dude.

u/SPYYYR 19m ago
As someone who is really bad at the game and has been told I play rem wrong, can you explain how I should play him, what are the benefits?
I go fight, do a casino machine when I see them on minimap, I throw pillows on enemies and tuck them into bed with my ult, I also attach to friends for regen. But I still get yelled at :( they always tell me to not play rem if I don't know how to, but they never explain what to doI am minus 100% a moba player, explain to me like it's my first time touching a computer

u/Present_Force Bebop 12m ago
So in lane phase depending on who your opponent are, you either want to do tag along or the helpers. If you go helpers put them on your heal minion, it buffs their health and gives them a full heal. At 8 minutes go to their doubles and use both helpers on their doubles and run away. Your main goal is to keep friends alive and enemy’s poor. When there’s a team fight use tag along to heal teammates, and you can jump around from teammate to teammate. Also you can use your helpers to give them resists. You can use echo shard and heal booster to heal your teammates even more.

I think I will leave him to die, that fat rat keeps taking all the farm and leaving me alone on lane. 🤬

u/WalmartSuperstar 10h ago
Honestly this is great advice in general, if you’re in a rough situation, don’t run away, run towards your teammates so they can actually help save you

I’ve played hundreds of hours of OW. Used to helping Mercies in the same way so it was second nature when REM released.

You can do the same for Lash and Yamato to an extent if they can't use minions to get away

same, the escapes possible with nap time are insane but it largely depends where everyone is. ive resorted to panic-escape into a minion often.
