I suggest adding Barrier concept to Lucio and Doomfist instead of "Shield" and at "Hit-Points" page.

Why?: 1. Barrier don't stack with shield or armor. 2. Barriers stack together. 3. Unlike shield, Barrier has decay over time. 4. Ingame, Barrier has a diferent colour on health bar than shield and armor. 5. Barrier take damage even over shield. 6. Shield can be healed, Barrier can't. 7. Shield and armor (except Brigitte Repair Pack) are permanent, Barrier temporary. 8. Despite there is a temporary armor, Brigitte Repair Pack, it works like a bonus armor and disappears instantly when expires. As mentioned above, Barrier has decay over time.

  • None of that matters because it is an unofficial term that is being used over an official term, which is wrong for a wiki to do. Barriers cause even more confusion because "barriers" is already a term. Every single official mention uses the term "personal shields"; the adjective "personal" is more than sufficient to differentiate from regular shields.
