Shatter needs more counterplay when it comes to tanks

Hey! all you people who were complaining about being “forced” to run orisa/sigma…where are you now? bc everyone is forced to play rein in a mirror, unless they want their team to fall to every shatter he has.
At least Orisa has a little counterplay with harden but poor sigma has nothing at all…after his shield goes down or he’s forced to reposition it, he and his whole team is exposed to Rein for a whole second.
Sigma needs his no cooldown barrier back to compete with the powerhouse that is rein…he’s weak to rein everywhere else, but he should at least have good defense against his ultimate.

Well, it depends. If you are running sig as the only barrier frontline and trying to challenge a Rein, then you will have a bad time.

Sigma is not as much as an anchor as Rein and Rein is not as much as Orisa.

Sigma is a Hybrid mobile tank who uses some range and corners to his benefit. He excels in tight areas.

But so does Rein.

Sig can reach snipers and mid ranged heroes who are set up on high ground. He might get a pick, he might not.

Rein only has flame strike for that and it is not spammable.


Sig excels with ORisa simply because its double barrier in cycle and they both shoot.

Rein Excels with Zarya when holding W compared to any other tank he is partnered with which makes him play much safer.

Also, Sigma does not have to play corner hammer game with Rein. Rein has to chase Sig in order to overwhelm him. Sig just works his barrier down if need be or shoots around it.

I would just make it so you can stand faster after being shattered by mashing space.

I like holding hook for shatter.
