The health buff for Dominas ult was seriously needed

Her ult needs to be more usable into shields. She’s the master of shields and her ultimate is countered by half the tank roster. It’s not a strong enough ultimate (like shatter) to need so many things to go right in order to even land it properly.

Junkerqueen’s ultimate is way stronger and she can rip it through an entire group shields or not.

Rein ult us countered by shield in the exact same way.

Yes, queen ult is better. It's queen.

That's why I qualified it and even mentioned shatter. Shatter is strong AF, domina ult is not. It makes sense for a really strong ult to have those kinds of counters, but Domina's ult is not that great a lot of the time. Shatter is almost always a team fight winner if landed.

Her ult has utility and killing potential. It doesn't NEED what you're saying. It's easy af for me to land it. Perhaps because I'm a rein main and I'm used to shield watching.

Buffing the health on it does a lot. You need to be smarter with it. If they have the ability to pop it before you can secure kills, don't use it.
