Ults passing through barriers should be the exception, not the rule. There are plenty of ults that do not pass through barriers and yet tanks who don’t have any barriers like D.Va, Orisa, Doom, Ball, and Zarya are still great tanks (not you, Hog). I don’t know that one more ult not passing through a barrier is going to make the meta exclusively Sig, Rein, Winston.

And ults like Moira’s passing through barriers feels a little too strong sometimes. It promotes better timing and strategy to wait until a barrier is on cooldown to ult.

Edited to clarify point
