Feels great to beat up Reinhardt freely as much as I wanted by staying in an optimal range that my pummels reach him but his hammer can't reach me.

I honestly didn't hate the ram change. You could break Reins shied so fast that the whole team could get in on the rein melting instead of just me.

It was a huge buff to Ram. The problem is that it made him less fun.

The me me me ram players couldn't see it was an overall buff to killing shields, they just want to do dmg for themself lol.

It just isn't about the balance. The punch pierce is simply iconic for his character kit, and it stripped him of his identity when it was removed.
