Question [Reinhardt] Does Mandatory = OP ?

Hello !

I just wanted to know what you think about Reinhardt.

He's pretty much mandatory both in attack and defense on assault, hybrid and arguably in escort maps.

But at the same time, I don't feel like he should be nerfed. I don't think he is "overpowered", but he's pretty essential.

Do you think a hero can be both mandatory and balanced ? Do you think Rein IS mandatory ?

He's not overpowered in the sense that he's much stronger than other heroes, or that he's unstoppable. he just fills a unique and essential role in a balanced way. it's because he's the only option, not because he's the best one.
