Does Reinhardt's shield block all abilities?
Reinhardt's main strength is his shielding abilities and the protection he provides for his team, but Are there any abilities that cannot be blocked by Reinhardt's barrier field?
Best Answer
Just to add some of the new champions:
All of Doomfist's abilities will go through the shield other than the shockwave from his E. This is because they all count as "melee" skills. Doomfist's primary fire is still blocked, as usual.
Moira's healing beam (primary fire) will still heal allies behind an enemy shield. Her damage beam (secondary fire) stops at the shield however.
Moira's orb will travel through enemy shields. If you use the damaging orb, it will not deal any damage to enemies until it has passed the shield.

Does Reinhardt shield block DVA ULT?
If a shield has at least 1hp, it will still block damage from Dva's ult. Same as how Zarya can facetank it with her 200hp bubbles. That's what makes it a shield, as opposed to something that's just part of her HP.Does rein shield block Winston?
No. Shields absorb enemy projectiles from both sides. Likewise, allies can fire through it from both sides. That is, the team the shield belongs to determines whether projectiles pass through it.Overwatch Animated Short | “Honor and Glory”
