Anti-shield items

With the amount of shields in this game we should probably include items that counter them as well. Looking at you reactive barrier, a really cost-efficient purchase against heroes like bebop and haze. There was a post about this in June but there wasnt much traction, hopefully with the recent influx of players would help.

Taking into account that we probably will get an character that has skills that generates shields for themselves or allies in the future. ie OW's doomfist and zarya.

We could take some notes from an item in TFT, the Guardbreaker. Where the holder gains bonus stats on hitting an enemy with shields, or reward the player upon breaking or dealing a fixed amount of shield damage on the enemy.

Alternatively the holder could inflict debuffs on the enemy upon breaking the shield and make them more vulnerable or slowed.
 
Yeah, people get so tanky late game, especially vs bullets, and they don't even need to be that far ahead. And then you add things like mystic slow into the mix, and just getting touched by an ability and you're also firing slower.
