An essential pick for any team, players who main as Reinhardt are the heroes we need right now.

Being able to provide a great defensive point for an attacking team thanks to his mobile shield, Reinhardt can be the perfect point-man for pushing defending enemies back into their spawn.

More than just a hulking shield however, the hero can be pretty devastating in his own right, being able to deal out huge amounts of damage with melee strikes and long range attacks that keep the character deadly even from a distance.

And having the ability to elegantly switch from being a shield to a swinging sledgehammer of destruction means that Reinhardt players can be unpredictable in their tactics, making the character a vital pick for any self-respecting Overwatch team.
