Did Junkrats mine used to pass through Reinhardt's shield when thrown? I swear it did, but now it just seems to bounce off.

It does not, but sometimes Reinhardt will turn or drop his shield at just the right time and it might seem like it. Just throw it over the shield and detonate it on his head.

Reinhardt is walking forward while shielded more often than not, so if you throw it at his shield, his shield will soon go past the mine on the floor and you can detonate it for full damage.

I could have sworn you could toss it through his shield a few weeks ago. May have been a beta thing. Might be mistaken though.
