Reinhardt's shield delaying bug

To start with, I’m not the real ryujehong, i’m one of his big fans. :slight_smile:

This bug is kind of old, but I want people to notice this bug, and hope the Overwatch team can fix this bug.

Reinhardt’s shield didn’t use to delay; the decoration at the center and the shield popped up together when I right clicked before the new Reinhardt’s ultimate patch.

After ow was updated with the new patch for Reinhardt, I tested to see if something was different; the decoration popped up first, and the shiled came out after it. Furthermore, i tried to right click (which is putting rein’s shield up) repetitively, but the shield just randomly loaded, unlike the old Reinhardt’s shield. It felt very odd.

Can this be fixed?

It isn’t a bug, it’s intentional so you have to be more careful with when you’re going to deploy.

I’m assuming you’re saying that rein’s shield used to be like Brigitte?

They removed his animation cancelling between swinging and shielding. It was not intentional because it was not in the patch notes.

They changed the animations of Reinhardt not so long ago for the purpose of “making them look better”, and ended up with his shield taking more time to deploy and his second swing being slower than the first one. There’s also a couple of bugs here and there, but hey who’s Reinhardt without his bugs amirite? …

It wasn’t intended though.

You got my hopes up and everything, O.P. Feels sad man.

Not all intentional changes are in the patch notes.

Then it’s considered a bug.

Not necessarily, sometimes they just do changes and neglect to write them down. Usually minor things.

Except it’s not a minor thing as it heavily affected him.

Usually minor things, but not always.

yeah, when it was faster to put the shield up.
