That sounds good although I’d like them to bring back 11 damage too. I don’t know why the nerfed her damage.
Why would you want this back?
I mean, I liked bunker pretty well. Not everyone wants a Rein Zarya deathball every game.

It’s a playstyle that doesn’t overlap with the other MTs.

Except her hp (few patches ago) and fortify was just nerfed so…maybe not “as ever.”
okay, but why bunker?
bunker is sitting in 1 spot aiming at the enemy team.
I still really do not see the purpose of Rein on defense when Orisa exists to be honest. But at the same time, I am a horrible tank and Rein is my worst hero by far.
Having an option to play bunker is an overall plus imo.

My standard of her barrier being ok is “exactly when for two years she was considered a niche pick if not a throw, and the only one in the whole world who played her was EvilToaster”. (Don’t get all tumescent, now, it’s just a hyperbole).
For what it’s worth, I preferred brawly Orisa, but the problem is that might give her too few weaknesses and might place her permanently in the meta.
Well I don’t see an alternative for Orisa.
Well if Orisa players prefer the brawly I suppose we can keep her that way, but if her current state isn’t balance (which in all fairness remains to be seen), what could be changed about her that wouldn’t push double shield?
It’s not like we can buff Fortify over the shield…
The problem is that Sigma synergizes with barrier tanks, not with off tanks. It’s the same problem it’s been the whole time, and it’s not Orisa’s fault. If Sigma wasn’t also excessively nerfed we’d just be in a Sigma-Reinhardt meta.
Sigma needs to be reworked to have less damage, less range, and more barrier.
Or alternatively, less barrier and more “off tankyness”.
Or alternatively, they can just stop making heroes that can do everything. Or better yet, give the older heroes more to work with. That way they aren’t left in the dust.

Because Orisa was like, good at everything almost. She was basically invincible whenever she had fortify up, she also got a barrier on top, halt is also an incredibly powerful ability. She has damage amplifying ult to add to her already high damage. Really the only thing she wasn’t one of the best at was mobility.
The only tank who was doing more damage than Orisa was Sigma, and what do you know, he was the other tank that did everything.
I understand the damage nerf since she was consistently getting pretty high damage in every match and the halt nerf felt fair too but the fortify cooldown nerf made no sense. The cooldown needs to be reverted back to 8 seconds and now that her gun isn’t as powerful I’d like to see the change of 20% speed reduction while shooting implemented that was originally on the PTR a few patches ago
Having both of those is exactly why she dominated.
Pick one.

I refuse to play rein. I play every main tank except him.
If someone insists I play a meta tank, I tell them only if they play the meta DPS or support. They have to trade.
Sigma is already made, so stopping or not he is there to be dealt with.
