I think they should change it from 5 low projectiles to a wide-angle, lateral vector, with almost no height.

Are there any updates on this matter?
Please Jeff don’t let this go unresolved for another year.

I don’t want to sound a pessimist but earthshatter has been bugged ever since the game’s release and last year you posted that “next patch” in July, it would be resolved.
Not only did it not get fixed, but it was removed from known issues as well.

Remaining issues:
Earthshatter isn’t picking up targets under certain circumstances. We intend to fix this issue in the next patch.

What happened to a fix in early April? Can we get an update please?

You forgot that they don’t care.

You never know, it might be included in the PTR patch once it goes live. That being said, at the same time, early April has clearly come and gone, so I would not hold my breath.

78

That’s what you get for trying to solo ult a defenseless support. Working as intended.

79

PTR is out, not a single mention on Reinhardt or his bugs.

They said they would fix it last year, but after that post they gave us the silent treatment. Now we are getting the same silent treatment yet again.

Another year will go by with no fixes in sight. I lost all hope by now.

Maybe it’s hard to fix? Why bump an old thread.

Maybe it’s time to give Reinhardt, a new ultimate then due to not easy fix, and please do buff him up Jeff please!

82

It can’t be that hard to fix if they’ve had a year and someone step forward with a due date.

83

Given that the estimate given back in February was for April, I’d say they thought it was pretty hard to fix. That’s a long estimate for a bug. If it was easy, it would probably be fixed by now.

84

Seems as though April Fixes are out of the question at this point. Being that it seems hard enough to fix, new estimate would likely be Late May, Early June. Probably just in time for the anniversary or after it.

I have experienced a different issue, Rein vs Rein in this case (affecting other players though), Rein 1 uses ES, Rein 2 has his shield up, then drops the shield after the hammer was dropped only for ES to go through and stun everyone in line.

Basically, if you drop your shield a second after the enemy Rein uses ES it still connects, no, it wasn’t lag, people on the other end confirmed it, I had the shield up when the attack was executed and everyone else saw it.

I am going to be honest, Rein is just messed up lol. Earthshatter should be a cone, not 5 random cracks that sometimes miss enemies right in front, and he should lose his ult everytime he gets interrupted. Just make it an invincibility frame or something sheesh.

87

Even though this is fantasy I have a huge problem with ES climbing on payloads, I mean, they are usually a nice cover but you can’t be either behind or on top of it when ES goes through, if you are behind the payload it would make sense since it goes through the floor, but then again, why on the payload if the thing is usually a floating device?
