Keeping it simple. Her shield is trash and gets deleted instantly, almost like old winston shield. Her mobility is horrible and halt is trash as well. Ult is easy to kill or just wait it out. She’s more feed than hog now with no instant kill.
Her ult has always been, and remains, good.
Her shield is extremely awful, but that’s apparently what the community wanted, was shields that don’t do jack.
Her pull isn’t great, but it’s not as useless as you make it sound, the slow and displace can still be somewhat good.
Her damage is actually good, but yes, she has a hard time surviving.
Over all, she’s pretty sub-par and doesn’t have a niche, but the thing is, people wanted shield tanks to not exist, so this is what we get. Her kit is built around a shield that keeps her safe, so without her shield, she will always be left wanting.

you cant wait out an orisa ult if you already are in the middle of a team fight when she uses it, well you can…but in the spawn room
Who are these people that didn’t want shields to exist? DPS Players? I’m a DPS Main, and I prefer when Shields were an actual threat.
Her fortify needs to be strengthened to 50% and she’ll be good again. Rest of her kit is in a good space.
Sincerely - an Orisa main

Honestly I just want pull back I’d be ok with the non existent shield and the nerfed fortify

You must not have been on the forums very much when double shield was meta. It was raged at over, and over, and over again on the forums. “Nerf shields” was the rallying cry for literal months when Sigma/Orisa/Rein were popular. Like CC and One-shots, Shields have been a hated component for quite some time now.

Buff pull to 7 meters. Nerf snare duration further.
Buff shield up to 800.
Rest is fine. Would need fortify dmg reduction nerfs at most.
Orisa being in a very bad spot is a small price to pay for the game being playable.

She is way to nerfed and easily countered.
They should give her back the old Halt and or make her shield like Sigmas with ability to recall recharge and replace no cool down since her animation for shield takes a while.

Just give her 900 shield and revert HP buff (or even fortify nerf)

Thing is her shield is stupid. The moment its slightly too high, with the way the cooldown works, you can abuse it and it feels “infinite” against certain comps. And IMO that is the thing that absolutely NEVER should become a thing again.
I’d like Orisa’s barrier to be reworked, still placable but you can “turn it off” or whatever, and it would work more like a normal barrier. Think of it like a Rein shield that you can change its position every 8 seconds or less.
Then it could actually be given more than 600 HP, her design no longer an enabler of pure cancer, and you can maybe buff her in other ways as needed.

Despite being not in the best shape, she seems to make a comeback at doubleshield now.
Hi! I’m one of those people. I came back to the game when Baptiste was released and have been playing ever since. OG double barrier was the worst state the game’s been in during that time, imo, because spending all my time firing at the side of a barn is not very interesting. DPS are not the only ones who find it dull; Orisa herself, as well as supports like Bap, got to spend the entire time firing at the enemy’s barriers.
I’m more than happy for Orisa to either supply more mitigation for her team or be more durable outside of cooldowns herself, but I’d rather it not be through her barrier directly. I find strong barriers make the game less enjoyable.
She was purposefully dumpstered for OWL views
No… what the community wants is for shields to not be so good that you always need one. Idk about you but I like playing Winston/Dva, or Ball/Hog…I even like playing Hog/Zarya. In years past you would never run double offtank. It’s nice to not be stuck in
Rein/Zar
Orisa/Hog
Orisa/Sigma
Sigma/Hog

Shields are pretty brainless. The game becomes a lot slower & less fun to play when it’s
put down shield
sit behind it
shoot until someone dies
It’s definitely more fun, at least for me, when I have to use my brain

Do you want the game to die? Sure seems like it.
Leave her for a while, she’s picking up traction and she’s honestly meta rn, give it some time after a patch
Since people hate shields so much give her a fortify resource meter.
All hail 800hp Orisa
At this point I’d say remove her barrier, which is holding her back and preventing her to get buffs because of double barrier, and make her a complete off-tank, just like Hog or Zarya, but then she would need a second damage ability.
Or maybe rework her to be more similar to Raum from Paladins (abilities-wise I mean):
Give her a charge ability instead of the barrier.
