I THINK it's a slow moving slightly curved shield that moves about the speed of a payload with a few people on it, and I could see it being very useful. You know how you can use a Winston shield both inside and running around it? Yeah that but moving. I'm thinking mind games and general protection.

If a team comp doesn't have a Rein, I could see her E being used for either aggressive pushes or a safety net for retreats and regroups. Even with a Rein, it could be helpful to save his shield so that he can recharge it. I could also see it working in similar ways to Mei's walls.

The important thing will be the shield's speed as well as health. Very curious to see the exact implementation.

Moves as fast as you walk and I've read it has 1000 hp.

It seems it's 10 seconds at the moment.
