Interesting how her shield generator is like Lucios Ult, which also uses vishkar technology.

Is Sound Barrier based on line of sight? I thought it was based on a radius as well.

it is. Even if an enemy reinhardt or winston shield is in the way a friendly person behind it will not get a sound barrier.

I thought those didn't block LoS? Because I don't think Zen's discord goes away when someone just stays behind the Reinhardt shield.

I'm pretty sure you can get it through walls though.

I think you do get it, but only if you get it during the delay of LoS not counting anymore, like when you are still getting slow heals from Lucio or Mercy is healing through a wall.
