Keep in mind: Reinhardt is a massive, armored man who’s suit and weapon are bother rocket-propelled. Also yes I’m a Rein main and yes I’m incredibly biased.
-
Genji’s deflect stops his hammer
-
Brig’s shield bash stops him in his tracks
-
Cassidy’s grenade stops his charge
-
Orisa’s spin can redirect his charge
-
250hp heroes like Mei, Reaper, and Torb can survive his pin then instantly avoid further damage (ice block, wraith, overload)
-
Icing on the cake from this past weekend: Mauga’s running is unstoppable, yet Rein’s charge isn’t. A big guy running with his shoulder down is canonically more powerful than a rocket-powered suit of armor at full speed.
I’m probably missing some other examples, but I can’t wrap my head around the thought process of Blizzard creating these interactions
Rein isnt and hasnt ever really been the paragon of perfect balance design the community paints him as, Rein being hard meta isnt actually fun for tank
