Why doesn’t Reinhardts fire strike actually set people on fire?

 

[Zach Bill]

That is actually a great question...

 

[Lachlan Anthony Kneeboner]

I think it's bc it doesn't like stay on them long enough to keep a fire going
It's almost like whooshing your hand through a flame

 

[Malcolm David Lightfoot]

There's nothing to catch on fire mostly, no accelerant or usually anything flamable. Most heroes outfits are metal, rubber, leather, spandex etc.

 

[Mike Parker]

It would be interesting to see it tested with a lower alpha damage bit with a DOT effect.

 

[Austin Miller]

Because it doesn’t stay in contact long enough to set a person on fire

 

[Ashley Skye-Michelle Hill]

I /need/ a fire-based character.

 

[Joe Shepard]

that would be cool

 

[Constantinos Theofylaktou]

maybe 75 hit dmg and 50 dot dmg that would stop by getting any kind of healing(health packs or heal by a teammate)

 

[Jhonatan Remigio]

That would be cool but I don't see it happening

 

[Nico Alagiyawanna]

Because your question is not even funny.

 

[Maxy May]

Because dey do not kno de wae

 

[James Bezanson]

They are not flammable

 

[Kira McWilliams]

The "I'm on fire" would finally have a better purpose

 

[Sotiris Kak]

And why Genji can deflect it?
