REINHARDT HERO COUNTERS

Reinhardt counters fall into two categories: heroes who go through his shield and heroes who go around it. Symmetra and Moira beam through Barrier Field. Pharah, Junkrat, and Reaper ignore it by attacking from angles the shield does not cover. Breaking the barrier with raw sustained damage also works but takes longer. The key moment to punish Reinhardt is during Charge, because any CC cancels it mid-dash and leaves him out of position.

Reinhardt's top counters are Anran, Moira, and Juno.

FAQ

  • Pharah, Reaper, and Junkrat all tear through Reinhardt. Pharah hits him from above where his shield is useless. Reaper walks through the barrier and shreds him at close range with lifesteal. Junkrat lobs grenades over the shield and mines him out of position.

  • Reinhardt sits at A Tier right now with a 51.7% win rate and 12.3% pick rate across all ranks. Strong meta pick. Expect to see Reinhardt in most matches.

  • Get around his shield. Reinhardt only blocks what is in front of him, so cross-fire angles make Barrier Field irrelevant. Alternatively, break the shield entirely with sustained DPS. A broken shield leaves Reinhardt exposed for 5 seconds of recharge.

  • No ranged damage. Reinhardt has to walk into melee range to deal any meaningful DPS, which means he spends most of the fight taking free poke. He also gets punished hard by crowd control during Charge because any stun, hack, or sleep cancels it mid-dash.

  • Winston jumps past the shield and zaps Reinhardt with Tesla Cannon, forcing him to drop barrier and swing. Sigma fights at mid-range where Rein can't reach, and Accretion stuns him out of Charge. Wrecking Ball rolls behind and disrupts his frontline anchor position.

  • Tracer and Anran are the DPS nightmare for Reinhardt. Tracer Blinks behind the shield and one-clips him from behind. Anran dashes through with Inferno Rush and the burn stacks ignore the barrier angle. Pharah hits from above where his shield is useless, and Reaper walks through it at point blank.

  • Moira and Juno punish Reinhardt from the support role. Moira Biotic Grasp goes through the barrier entirely. Juno Orbital Ray damage boost turns your team into a shield-breaking squad, and she heals from angles Rein can't block.
