Is this a bug? Why would they want Rein to be even worse?

And why the hell cant sigma absorb ramatra’s “long range” punch? He can absorb bombs, missiles, lasers, energy weapons, etc, but he cant absorb an energy “punch” that has range? Make it make sense.

Because people are still wrongfully terrified of shields, and the second one is worth a damn, their double shields PTSD will be triggered. Its also why Ram has a toddler sized shield that vanishes after a couple of seconds.

Nah it’s a feature unfortunately.
They’re probably going to lower the damage in the future, like “damage through barriers decreased by 15%” or something like that
I wouldn’t be terrible surprised to see it have something like it’s range lowered (it’s 12 meters now I believe), but I’d be surprised to see it’s direct interaction with shields changed.
Am I the only one who thinks Ramattra is a little underpowered on his own? Put him in a 1v1 against most heroes and he’ll lose; in my opinion he’s only viable if you have people backing him up (Lore accurate Ramattra question mark)

Because his punches are unblockable much like Winston’s primary fire and all melee attacks (baring deflect) this has been known since the hero was revealed

All melee goes through shields

Depends who and what he’s fighting.
Ramattra can kill a standard 200 hp in 3 punches followed by a quick melee. Each punch does 60, the first one comes instantly, he only needs 2 “resets” to get those 2 follow up punches at .6 seconds each. The quick melee can animation cancel his pummel as well- so in 1.2 seconds he can kill you. 1.8 without the quick melee if he can’t get up to you, but he often can sue to his 20% speed increase. And again, 12 meter range on that punch anyways if he can’t.
That’s pretty good.
Add the poke and approach strengths he has in his mage form- I feel he’s a lot stronger than people give him credit for.
Not to mention he’s got arguably one of the strongest ults in the game now (I’ll go so far as to say it’s down right busted in a lot of situations. It’s one thing when that strength is “niche”, but his overtime ult usage in particular is ridiculous nearly every time it’s used as such, which can and should be in every overtime).
Ramattra is a pretty strong hero right now I feel
sounds like a skill issue to me.
Why should Rein care? If Rammatra is that close to the no.1 brawl tank in the game you give him the death he obviously craves.
Not true. Ramatra punches weird energy. It’s not a melee. His RANGED attacks go through Rein’s shield. His ranged energy attacks are closer to Lucio’s gun than they are to regular melee punches.
Orisa also breaks this trend. Her E will damage even through Genji deflect even though Genji can deflect molten lava, sound, rockets, etc.
It isn’t a bug though it is by design his punches are much more similar to Winston’s Tesla cannon with slightly higher DPS.
Pretty sure his punches count as melee. So it goes through barriers, matrix etc. Blocked by deflect, orisa spin.
Lucios gun literally has projectiles that travel until they hit something, Ramattra punches travel a short distance.
You are really trying to bring the realism argument into a game like Overwatch? …
They are still considered melees, wether they have some range or not.
There are a lot of exceptions in OW. Shields block Sym, Echo and Zarya beams. But Winston can shoot through shields.
Reins firestrike is a projectile, but goes through shields as well.
