This is technically true due to the size of the shield, but spread is only half the equation. Each individual pellet also does less damage as distance increases, starting at 3 damage at up to 10 meters, falling off to 0.5 damage at 30 meters.

At >30 meters, a shot from D. Va, if all pellets hit, does a whopping 4 damage.

The best heroes to break shields are imo Bastion or Junkrat. Or just grab a flanker (such as D. Va) and get behind the shield.

Didn't think I needed to specify considering how obvious that was lol. If D.Va is with your team facing a rein you usually wont be far away from it (as in usually reaper distance) and you can break that shield easily.

reaper counters any tank well tbh

maybe winston since he has a decent amount of health and can keep zarya's focus away from her teammates and even launch her away (especially with ult)
can't confirm but i know orbs of harmony/discord can't go through winston's barrier, so it could be the same with zarya's shields
also winston wont deal any huge chunks of damage suddenly so if zarya springs a shield up it won't really matter

winston's usually just better against snipers though
