I just got done with a competitive match and it seems that when Orissa uses Fortify on the enemy team, and I shield bash with Brigitte, it stuns Brigitte onto the ground as if she’s using shield bash into a rein charge or a doomfist punch.
I checked in the patch notes and I don’t see anything about changing it so a fortified Orissa now stuns a Brigitte shield bash. Can anyone verify?

Yep can confirm. Happened to me every time that interaction happened. Have clips
What do you expect when bash into few tons of metal
Was wondering why. Can confirm it happens every time. Really hope this isn’t intentional…
Yep same thing happened to me on havana
Before there was a bug with doomfist punch interaction, now it seems to have moved to Unstoppable targets.
AFTER Doomfist uses punch against Reinhardt, If Reinhardt tries to use his Charge ability, he will get knocked down on the ground.
Doomfist is not affected, only Reinhardt and this happens AFTER the punch has gone through already.
I’m not talking about the interaction between Charge and Punch that knocks both heroes down at the same time, this is different and a bug.
Here is a video of a player that recorded the bug:

Same thing happens with Reinhardt Charge into Orisa Fortify and Mauga Overun.
Pre-patch and in all of Overwatch’s history, when Reinhardt used his Charge ability and collide with a hero that has Unstoppable such as Orisa’s Fortify, it would simply make Rein stop the same way it would when he hit a wall.
After Season 9 midseason patch, if Reinhardt charges into an unstoppable target, he gets knocked down for 2 seconds, same way he would if he collide with a Doomfist Punch, Another Rein’s charge, Brigitte’s Bash and BOB’s charge.
Interactions affected by this bug are:
Re…
These devs and their spaghetti code…
I can confirm it happened to me as well, and I have a clip.
It also happened when I bashed into a charging Mauga but I honestly don’t remember if bashing into charge supposed to knock me down or not.
Can you provide the clip? I think it’s best to show Blizzard as much examples as possible. I don’t recall Mauga causing Brig to be stunned either when he charges, but I could be wrong.
I uploaded it to YT but I can’t embed the video so here’s a link:

Disclaimer - This was a bad play game-wise but I saw an opportunity to capture the bug so I took it
