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

    The Reinhardt and Mauga thing exist only in game. In canon/lore WE DO NOT KNOW😐.
