**Reinhardt bug list - pls fix him**
Yesterday, I posted a video of a Reinhardt charge bug and it got some attention. The user u/redtigerstripe ironically said "Waiting for excessively long list of Reinhardt bugs". Well, there are a lot of bugs with this hammer-swinging German man so I decided to really make this list. I hope it will get some attention and it will be fixed.
I only found bugs for his charge and his earthshatter. Some of them are pretty common, others are very rare. Bit when they occure they can be very gamebreaking. Let's get started!Charge
Vacuum Charge: A bug where the Reinhardt is charging and the enemy gets pulled into it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WijsXh8_h6c&index=23&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8eXBHDEDdc&index=24&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ
Anti-Vacuum Charge: When the Reinhardt is charging exactly at the anemy and it should be a pin, ut the enemy just gets bumped away.

- Reinhardt the Runner: This is a bug, which happens when Reinhardt hits his enemy right when the Charge should end. He Ends u pinning the enemy and charging a Little bit further in a weird running Animation.

- Wall is Jello: When the Charge ends right in front of the wall and Reinhardt Releases the pinned enemy, the enemy goes right through the wall.

- Ghost Pin: It's possible, that Rein charges a Wall and an enemy near oder behind it dies,even if he doesn't actually get pinned.

Ghost Pin: Ok, this one is very rare and it seems to happen mostly with Zarya. The enemy should get pinned. You get a hitmarker but he doesnt get pinned or bumped away. Thanks to u/legaless101 for the correction! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDPkNfV-5mo&index=3&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ (four examples)
"There's no wall" pin: This is a bug, where Reinhardt Pins somebody at the wall or a ledge, but he stands still and the Charge just goes on.

Earthshatter
- Ghost Shatter: This a very game-breaking bug, where evrybody should be shattered, but nobody actually is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnbvw7WLZ0I&index=11&list=PL1XKQTT- 5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kzKbQjbtw8&index=13&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnR9wOihDJM&index=17&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ
- Shield Shatter: That's a bug, in which Reinhardt shatters into a shield, which should normally block Earthshatter, but everybody behind the shield gets shattered.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k8ghsakNCA&index=19&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI5hBLTLMZU&index=20&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ
Now I've got one very rare and specific Bug.
*I'm not really sure if this one is still in game because this is Mercy's old rez. It Looks like it's a bug, where the Invincibility of Mercy's rez doesn't affect Earthshatter.

- Hammer Knockback Environmental kills:If you push someone off the map with the Little knockback the hammer has, it doesn't Count as an environmental kill for Rein as which it should have counted. Thanks to u/JJFreshMemes for the bug. https://gfycat.com/JubilantWeeklyFoal https://gfycat.com/SelfishFrightenedAllensbigearedbat https://gfycat.com/WebbedAcademicAmericantoad
If you read this whole text: Thank you! It would be very Kind of you if you could share this list so maybe a Blizzard employee sees this and Reinhardt will get another fix.
