you should go on the internet and complain about it, and make multiple threads about the same thing, it will definitely 100% help.

I said on the old forums that the game was always going to shift towards being 100% DPS heroes with less and less RPG elements and more and more shooter traits. I doubt they’ll retire Mercy or Rein, but it’s not hard to see how almost every other hero could be adjusted to fill a predominantly DPS role.
The whole ‘fantasy’ of playing different roles in Overwatch is being diluted with every patch. 2000lb German Warriors are being Shield Bashed by 300lb Swedish girls–and up until recently the dev mindset was not only that Brigitte shouldn’t be hurt, but that she should WIN that scenario by stunning the Reinhardt.
So much for the fantasy of playing Rein:
Charge is defecated on by Boop, Trap, Hack, Hook, Flashbang, Wall, Blast, Bash, Rocket Punch, and every other form of CC DESPITE Charge being MASSIVELY predictable, VERY slow, and UNCANCELLABLE.
It’s normally a VERY BAD IDEA to use Rein’s abilities–they’ll just get you killed outside of coordinated 2-2-2 play.
Firestrike takes AGES to activate, has a HORRIBLE hitbox for it’s VFX and can be deflected by Genji 10 years later from 4m to the side of him.
Rein is slow and sluggish but not only do Blizz not offset this by giving priority over CC, they make it so that he loses out to it.
When it suits them, Blizzard use ‘logic’ and ‘reason’ to balance heroes: Tracer goes back in time to a period of low HP but somehow KEEPS her newly acquired health (if she got it). This is because ‘it didn’t feel good’ for players.
Snipers can one-shot most heroes because that’s just how CoD does it–and not one-shotting with a headshot would feel bad.
Well, guess what: Charging a Lucio only to have your 2000lb armour ‘booped’ out of the way by a ‘soundwave’ also feels bad. I don’t want to go on a rant about how Blizzard don’t care----but it seems to me like there’s one law for some heroes and another for others.

you really wanna go down that road?
My genuine advice to you is to take a break. I work full time and I rarely have the energy to play even 1 QP of OW save for the weekends.
Even then I’ve started to avoid ranked completely so at least when I play a few games of QP I won’t get down because I’m mentally prepared that my team is just d*icking around.
To me competitive is disappointing at times because I simply am not allowed by one or more on my team to play the hero I pick. Many still see Torb and Symm as troll picks, I get it but at least let the player use them for a spell before you cast judgement and threaten to report them for trolling. It’s unfair and a false report at that moment in time.
Now to your topic. Physics in real life mean very little in the world of Overwatch. By all rights Rein should SMASH Brigitte if she tries to shield bash him and Hog shouldn’t be able to hook a charging Rein and pull him towards himself (again, irl physics). The less sense a game makes in this regard the more fun it can be because it adds a fantasy feel to it. Super strength for one. You get me?
Stuns are so annoying though, I hate em, especially if it ruins my shatter but we can’t do anything about it 
Well, you’re wrong. Neither of the lately released heroes was shooter oriented.
Well, yeah, that is really annoying when playing Rein … they should consider smaller effect of boops and such on tanks.
Not really, snipers in cod usually one-hit-kills you even when they hit you in your pinky finger 
Yeah, FIFA19 is out … time for a break, at least untill we pack some icons, right?
omg same, I thought it was just me
