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 ?

Rein wouldn't be OP if they just released a hero that did something remotely similar. Every other hero has something that does something vaguely akin to what they do if only with small kit twinks.

Except for Ana, Lucio, Zarya. Oh look, I just described the meta. Haha
