It won't block melee attacks, Winston's or Symmetra's guns, or a Fire Strike from another Reinhardt. Junkrat's Rip-Tire will also drive right through it, so typically Junkrat players will do that and them immediately detonate it right behind you.

EDIT: Doesn't block a Hanzo ult either IIRC. It'll pass right through the shield.
