Patch Proposal - Zen’s Discord Orb increases damage done to Discorded Hero’s shields (projectile, or all?)

I also posted this in:
General Discussion

What if Zen’s Discord Orb could increase damage done to that Discorded Hero’s shields?

This could just apply to projectile shields rather than personal shields, so as a change it would impact less heroes…

Overall it would immediately impact target prioritization for Zenyatta players, but would it also serve to help reduce the strength of shields in a tactical, subtle way while making (1) Support Hero with ranged attacks (which complements the current meta) a much more viable choice?

Is this something that people can test within a game dev. environment/sandbox?

I know Zen’s lack of drop-off damage could also play into Zen’s ability to help shred shields safely on maps.

Let me know what people think, I was just watching September 14th’s NYXL/Vancouver e-sports highlights and thought this. Constructive feedback is needed.
