Please consider just removing crits when she gets golden (like hammond in ball form).

I’ve always wanted this; you use Fortify to give yourself a boost when people walk through your shield, so you survive long enough to Halt them in place and kill them. But the entire damage-resistance aspect of Fortify is removed by her torbjorn sized critbox; especially compared to heroes like Reaper or Hanzo, she doesn’t survive as long as she should

Fortify only reduces the damage you take, if the enemy can get headshots then you take criti … i mean, how is this a question?
Im guessing you are suggesting that Orisa doesnt take crit damage while fortified and … sure, im up for that but that would be denying a basic OW mechanic that has existed forever.
Then again they just back pedal’d on the armour mechanics so … 
Because 50% damage reduction + armour is already enough.
There’s quite a few heroes who don’t have Critboxes during abilities; Bastion and Wrecking Ball being the most prominent
It’s not a bad ability but she is supposed to be a tank and with her huge hitbox and the armor nerfs she is not that tanky.

Because fortify doesn’t make her head disappear
Well bastion has it on the back on Sentry mode but that’s not the point.
The point is the character model having a Crit box and not receiving crit damage, that doesn’t exist.
Like I said, sure, but it would be “ground breaking” and i don’t think devs are particularly cool about that, especially when they literally “broke” a basic game mechanic like armour recently.

Because your head (or weakness) is still weaker than the rest of your body? Fortified reduces the dmg even that of your weaknesses but your weakness is still your weakness.
His ult doesn’t have a crit box, which is what I was referring to.
The critboxes turn off depending on the ability used, or are removed, or whatever termonolgy you want to use.
Tanks are not tanks because they have 600 Hp and armor. They are tanks because of the barriers and abilities to deny damage that can create space.
This is an unnecessary suggestion, fortify shouldn’t mean “i’m unkillable even if i mess up” If Orisa’s barrier is destroyed she is supposed to be punished for it. Fortify is balanced right now because it doesn’t make her unkillable and it helps her survive those moments where she can’t deploy a barrier. There’s no reason to upset this balance.
They are not and thats my point.
You can make a skill not have crit damage, but they have never made a hero model that has a crit box and doesnt receive crit damage when hit in said crit box.
Why are you still replying to this? Its pretty obvious what I am trying to say, what is your point? that they can code it and thats it ?
Again, for the fourth time, sure, but that would be “ground breaking” and I don … ok dude, whatever.
Serious reply, I think I would prefer if Fortify was made just more readily available. The ability is already rather strong the issue is that you just don’t have it a lot of the time.
Maybe if they made Fortify a bit more of a frequent resource, perhaps indicated by the presence of a… meter of some description, it could help her out a lot.
Yeaaah, no reason to upset the balance, like making half her health weaker by nerfing armor.
And Orisa is and has always been in such a good and balanced situation, competing with Rein and Winston
ohh yeah, there’s nothing more satisfying than shooting a Fortifying Orisa in the face and hearing this “Ding ding ding ding” sound.
I’d say she has the easiest Critbox in the game to hit for sure
I’d say she’s 2nd place to Torb.
