Reinhardt doesn’t need a buff, but he does need his bugs fixed.
Continuing the discussion from Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – June 5, 2018 :
Reinhardt
Fixed a bug that prevented Reinhardt’s Rocket Hammer eliminations from receiving credit in the Kill Feed
Fixed a bug that caused Reinhardt’s Barrier Field from not playing the correct sound effect if it was affected by Sombra’s Hack
Fixed a bug that caused Reinhardt’s Barrier Field cooldown to cancel an active hammer swing when it became ready to use
This is all that’s been fixed for him on the PTR. He needs Earth Shatter fixed. We were told that would be fixed possibly by April. It’s still not. An update would be nice.
Ok. Derek (who is amazing) immediately replied.
He said: “We know what the issue is, but it’s unfortunately not an easy fix.”
Apparently, it’s the same issue that also affects Doomfist’s Seismic Slam. He is scheduled to work on a fix that will likely deploy around early April.
Sorry for the delay. Software development is… um… fun.
