Reinhardt Wilhelm is a man who from young age; sought glory. He would join the German Armed Forces as soon as he possibly could and rapidly earned the rank of Lieutenant among the Crusaders. Over the years that would follow; Reinhard fought unlike any other Crusader and made sure to carry out his duty as a Crusader with utmost pride - A duty that he strongly held onto as to never forget his old mentor Balderich von Adler who died during one of Reinhardt's earlier missions to defend Eichenwalde against an Omnic invasion.
As he keep fighting against the Omnic's - Reinhardt would over the years not only join Overwatch but also meet and befriend Torbjörn who ended up becoming a personal caretaker for Reinhardt's armor and weaponry - Always making sure that he was 110% prepared for anything that they could end up in battle with. This close bond led to Reinhardt becoming the godfather of Torbjörn's daughter; Brigitte - Who as she grew up; not only tok into armory and weapon upkeep thanks to her father; But she also formed a strong tie to Reinhardt which only grew over the years as she eventually tok over her fathers job and became Reinhardt's squire; accompanying him on his travels around the world and maintaining his armor as her father had done before.
The Omnic Crisis was eventually put to an end, years upon years of battle was over but Reinhardt's blood was still boiling, there was more glory to be had - And more glory he would find as he was summoned to the Nexus. Despite the lack of his squire - Reinhardt stepped into the Nexus with a smile on his face; Knowing that the world he left as for now; should be safe. Knowing that his friends and family would do just fine after his leave; Reinhardt would pick up arms and fight like never before on this newfound field of battle.

Primary Abilities
1
Q - Firestrike
Activate your Hammer's thrusters and preform a near instant vertical swing which will create a fiery projectile that travels forward and pierces anything hostile in it's path. The flaming projectile deals 203 (+ 4% per level) damage to anything hostile it pierces and slows the movement speed of stricken hostile units by 20% for 1.5 seconds.
After a 0.5 second delay - Activate the rocket thruster on your back and begin charging toward your targeted location. Reinhardt will charge a great distance forward and won't stop unless he collides with terrain, a structure or re-activates this ability in order to stop himself. During the charge; Reinhardt will deal 122 (+ 4% per level) damage to any minions or mercenaries he bypasses, he will also pushe them aside as he charges trough them.
During the charge; Should Reinhardt collide with a hostile hero, they will take 39 (+ 4% per level) damage and find themselves pinned against Reinhardt, causing for the hostile hero to be forced along for the duration of the charge.
If Reinhardt re-activates the ability to stop his charge; the pinned hostile hero will simply take 37 (+ 4% per level) damage and will be pushed a great distance away from Reinhardt once the charge ends.
If Reinhardt keeps going with a pinned hostile hero and crashes into terrain or a structure while they remain pinned; The hostile hero will suffer damage equal to 8% of their total health and become stunned for 1.75 seconds.

E - Barrier Field
Raise your Barrier Field - a large rectangular shield which cover the front of Reinhardt in whichever direction your mouse cursor is facing. The Barrier has 1250 (+ 4% per level) health and can because of this; sustain damage equal to the amount of health it has. While the Barrier Field is active; certain conditions change for Reinhardt and certain condition applies to the Barrier itself and those near it:
Reinhardt can not Basic Attack while the Barrier Field is up.
Reinhardt moves 10% slower while the Barrier Field is up.
The Barrier Field can be re-activated to be taken down in which case it will take 3 seconds before the Barrier begins to regain 75 hit points per second until it is raised again or is at full health.
The Barrier Field effectively negates damage as long as it has health, meaning that (Example:) A Nova Snipe that would hit the Barrier for 500 Damage would be fully negated even if the Barrier only has 1 health left.
If the Barrierbreaks; it will take 5 seconds before it begins regaining health.
The Barrierdoes not sustain damage from grounded Area of Effect abilities (Blizzard, Flamestrike)but will sustain damage from directional Area of Effect abilities (Self-Destruct). Basic attacks landed at Reinhardt or allies of Reinhard within 1 range of his Barrier will deal 75% less damage.
Mana: 0 Cooldown: 1 Second between Raising and Lowering the Barrier.
Barrier width: 7.5

R - Lion's Head
Launch the head of your hammer toward you selected targeted location. The head of the hammer will travel for a set distance before coming to a halt in which after 0.5 seconds have passed; the hammer-head will return to Reinhardt.
The head of the hammer will deal 397 (+ 4% per level) damage to anything hostile it hits and apply a 50% slow which lasts for 2 seconds. The damage and slow can be dealt / applied both as the hammer head is traversing away from Reinhardt and when it returns to him.
When the hammer-head returns, it will return toward Reinhardt: meaning that by moving - You can slightly alter the path in which the hammer-head returns. If Reinhardt dies while the hammer-head is out traveling; the hammer-head will be destroyed.
During the time the hammer-head is gone, you can not cast Rocket Hammer ( D ) or Firestrike ( Q ) - Your basic attacks also deals 50% less damage during this time-period.
Remove the movement slow penalty for preparing the swing with Rocket Hammer and cause for it's cooldown to be reduced by 2 second per hostile hero hit by the swing.

Each time your Barrier Field sustains at least 750 (+ 4% per level) damage - Reinhardt gains 50 Armor for 3 seconds. The timer for this Armor buff drops-off 100% slower when the Barrier Field is not active.

Heart of the Lion:
Reinhardt's Hammer constructs itself a spare hammer-head while Lion's Head is active. Removing all of the negative effects this ultimate had previously. Once the hammer-head returns, it will fuse with the new one and cause for Reinhard to deal 100% more basic attack damage and gain 2 additional basic attack range for 5 seconds.
Solidified Determination:
Rocket Hammer now launches a Vertical Firestrike when used. This Firestikeretains any talent upgrades the baseline Firestrike has. This Firestrike counts as an extension too Rocket Hammer and thus also benefits from the level 1 talent: "Motivated Momentum"'s cooldown redcution.
Hand of Balderich:
Activate to become Protected and Unstoppable for 4 Seconds.

Skin suggestions
Reinhardt already have so many good skins in Overwatch that I feel all should be represented; His base Skin of course alongside his "younger self" skin and the Balderich skin are all skins I think should be in this game one way or another.
As for alternative skins - I do know that Blizzard with the Blizzard-World patch for Overwatch gave Doomfist the "Blackhand" treatment but in all honesty - I think a Blackhand-Style skin could suit Reinhardt. Of course if they ever add Blackhand as a Standalone hero this may be impossible to pull trough:
Blackhand for reference:
Other concepts & more
I will list here once more of my concepts is made. Some of these concepts may also look familiar but that is because I am also "Rexx" whom has posted some hero concepts on the EU and US side forums for Heroes of the Storm.
This Reinhaardt Concept is a re-construction of a Reinhardt concept I did back in November of 2016 - The old concept was turned to Hots before the 2.0 update and was not nearly as polished as this one so I decided to re-do it as I will do with many of my other older concepts.
Other hero concepts I have made: This list is now shortened and only contains my most "recent" concepts as I will begin re-working my older ones. Please see my Profile if you want to see my older and worse concepts. (I currently have a total of 40+ concepts on my Profile)
