Playing against this combo as tank is ridiculous it pretty much deletes you from the game. Only hope is your support goes kiriko but thats still not enough

I play sigma/ram into it without many issues. Just gotta play slow.

They are strong from range but very weak up close. If they give you any problem, go D.va or Winston and just melt them face to face.
Hammond & Doomfist also work if you can bait the sleep dartā¦
Other than that, just try to avoid their sight like you would against a sniperā¦
funny people say heroes that think is a pain to deal with i already know which tank i would chooseā¦ ana and zen as a tank for me would be reinhart, sigma, or ramatraā¦ Anything i can offset orb or nade with a barrier, sig even has the suc every thing ability. Rein has heavy shieldā¦ Side not if your the only one trying to deal with support then that is a dps failā¦
Ahh yes. The most logical way to play tank and take space.

Reinhardt. Zarya. Orisa. Maybe even Doomfist or Wreckingball if you go down the mobility route. Even with Wreckingball being the prime reason Orb is used!
A team that is literally just focusing the tank is leaving four other enemies to do as they please.
Maybe they can shoot the Zenyatta?

Maybe, but playing solo you canāt count on that.

In ow2, yes.
Protections suck (every protection only lasts couple of seconds before disapearing) and you canāt just stand in the open doing noting anyways. So the environment is your best protection anyways.
If youāre not willing to dive the support, donāt be surprised they put their heavy ranged pressureā¦ Each hero got its strengths and weaknesses and for Zen-Ana this strength is range and weaknesses is up close.

But thatās dumb players rather than dumb mechanics. And even then, youāre not actually asking your team to do anything.
Youāre letting them do whatever they want simply without having to worry since youāre huddled there singing like Bo Burnham!
Ahh yes, my mortal enemy. 1 combo kills the zen every single dive.
If thereās one character besides a good sombra that forces me to swap Zen, its a good diving Dva. Matrix any ana heals, while the unavoidable rockets/booster/melee combo kills me.

Iām not very good at ana but even I can make doomās life a misery and can make sure wrecking ball never hangs around long enough in a fight to kill anyone with either of my abilities.
Doom block doesnāt block any of Anaās kit and he stands nice and still to get slept every time. Not a good counter except to an Ana that doesnāt save at least one of her abilities for his arrival.
Ana zen is one of strongest support duos
Also this ties in to my other post

āTake Spaceā doesnāt mean āstand there and get shotā. I was just playing a game as Ram, and Ana kept shooting at me through a tiny door. You know what I did?
I moved a little bit to the right so she couldnāt shoot me. I didnāt give up my space, I just moved a little bit to the right.
Supports trying to tear your face off!? Buy a shield, and then a health pack, for when the shield inevitably goes down, and you really need it!
-M-
Remember there are no āhard countersā in OW2ā¦because the devs said so

Youāre still going to be harder to pin down while leaping about in and out of LoS with DF and Ball than you would as DVa, Sigma, Roadhog or Junker Queen.
Itās not a perfect solution. You have other tanks that can outright negate the application of the orb.
Actually, DVa and Sigma can also negate incoming fire even while orbed, meaning the effect is negated while still drawing focus from your allies.
