Shield blocks Orisa’s Halt but not Graviton Surge?

If a Shield blocks Orisa’s Halt I don’t see why Zarya gets to suck a bunch of people in at once who were safe behind a Shield.

I wonder if it’s something to do with how Halt is coded? I always thought those little beams that show who will be pulled are just for targeting, but maybe they’re actually like tiny Roadhog hooks?

genji deflects rockets and magnum rounds and he can even reflect like 100000 bastion bullets all at once.

this game is not about realism.

reapers shotguns have less range than briggites mace.

hanzos arrows hit harder than a magnum round at all distances.

etc.

lots of flaws

This isn’t even about realism though, it’s 2 abilties that are meant to do the same thing and are even made from the same thing but one thats already more powrful gets to go through shields?

thats blizzard balancing bro… i know it sucks but “get used to it”

this game is fun no doubt, thats why we all play it… but 99% of the community agrees this game is loaded with things like this that dont make sense or things like flashbang that kinda take the fun out of the game.

Because in Zaryas case it’s an Ultimate

Halt has an LOS requirement (you can’t grab people from the other side of a wall/obstacle, including shields); Grav just relies on proximity and doesn’t need LOS (it grabs people through walls). Halt is an alternate mode of fire, Grav is an ult.
