The barriers, are they made out of hard light?

Just curious. I don’t recall any developers or any official pages clearly stating what the barriers are actually made out of.

I am open to more convincing materials that the barriers can be.

Maaaaaybe. Idk. Sym’s ult is called Photon Barrier and light is made out of photons I think…

Rein’s barrier is an “Energy Barrier” going by the F1 tooltip. Winston’s barrier is also a “protective energy dome”.

Zarya’s barrier is a “Particle Barrier”

yea its kinda vague… lore only explains symmetra and no one else

No, they made of Tea and Lollipops.

(Bored, was just passing by.)

Let’s examine them! They have the following traits:

  • Fun colors :ballot_box_with_check:
  • Translucent :ballot_box_with_check:
  • Not very durable :ballot_box_with_check:
  • It’s makes a noise when you rip it apart :ballot_box_with_check:

Therefore, I think barriers are made out of tissue paper

I believe they are made of thoughts and prayers.

In-game, the barriers are for the most part made of cutting edge technology; paper.

Ye- yes??? I always assumed they were? There’s no reason to assume they aren’t

They’re made of wishes.

That’s just Orisa’s barrier.

I have been trying to convey the idea that we need a shield support hero.

Symmetra fits the role.

Pulling energy from enemy shields while supporting friendly shields.

Maybe she will be reworked to do that in OW2.

Sym used to have a shield, but I guess the developers didn’t like it

Since the barrier changes they are made out of tissue paper.

Personally, I hated that shield.
For or against it…

I am glad they reworked her to her current state.

What is torb made out of
Specifically the summer games skin
