Reduce reload time by 10% (down from 20%)
Reload no longer cancelled by halt or barrier deploy.
Bring on the Orisa meta!

And what would you be willing to trade off to keep her balanced? Shield HP down to 600 (from 900) sounds reasonable for such an aggressively powerful buff.

She does not need a dps buff.

That would probably be the fastest possible way to kill the game

Cheesy Bunker-comps with:
Orisa, Hog, Bastion, Junk, Baptiste and another healer.
Sounds like a high potential to complain about.
Here is a buff or orisia: Bastion has halt piercing bullets that do regular damage.
As if no one ever complained about every other meta in this game.

When compared to Rein, and would you think Orisa would need a nerf to counteract any buffs?
As is, a Mercy boosted Junkrat is going to be able to tear down an Orisa Barrier in 5 shots, without reloading.
Decrease her core tanking ability by 30% to “reasonably balance” her reload being slightly more reliable? Yeah, sounds about right.
All I’d really want changed for her though is a more responsive Halt activation.
Orisa does not need DPS buffs.
Shes meant to be an alternative to Rein, she can’t do that with the way her shield works.

I mean… It’s not like you have to reload often so why does it matter if it’s slow? >.<
sounds like a really good buff, its not to crazy but not that miner, it would affect some situations but overall is a good idea.

I would love to see a reload speed up.
But it’s more of a selfish personal reason,
I played a lot Battlefield before OW and fell into the nasty habit of always reloading after firing.
It’s carried over to OW, and l have always struggled with orisa because of it.

An idea I got was also to allow Orisa to destroy her current barrier which would reduce the rest of its cooldown by half.
Example: Orisa needs to advance so she destroys her 300 HP barrier which lowers the cooldown on her shield from 4 seconds to 2 seconds, allowing for faster repositionning.

as much as that sounds good, it could make her way too viable for quick advances. The point of the cooldown is that it’s a double edged sword - you have more shield output in theory than rein, but your shield has to be less flexible and adjustable.

Love this, and just to make it OP, her shield explodes when cancelled or destroyed dealing 25 “shock” damage to enemies standing close to the shield.
Bow before the goddess 
Are you suggesting they completely gut a mediocre hero, as compensation for some minor buff?

Only buff she need is to be rideable.
#LetUsMountOrisa.
But seriously tho, with new healer she is quite strong. Nano+Bonko+AM deletes people. And I mean it. This combo not only sends you to spawn, it also pierce heavens servers and force disconect and uninstall.

Cutting the longest reload time in the game by 20%, and enabling her to still use abilities while reloading (no one else in the game can do this) isn’t a “minor” buff. If you want to make a main tank into more of a bruiser, you reduce their ability to main tank in return. Otherwise you get another Dva situation.
