If I prompt that I have my Ult ready, pay attention to my position and USE YOURS.

I usually find it’s the other way around more often than not. You’ll all have damage ults, all be in perfect position. Grav goes out, catches all of the enemy team and your team just sits and admires the visual effects.

Same for EMP, you get everyone and your team is just “oh look at that pretty light show”.

Yes, because Zarya is the ultra-mobile hero that can get to Genji or Tracer’s position in a fraction of a second, ignoring everyone in her way.

Maybe the onus should be on you, dear DPS player, to stay in position and make sure you’re ready to capitalize on her ult. Even better, work to create the ideal conditions for Zarya’s ult by de-meching that DVa so that she doesn’t eat the Grav or other ults.

Half the time what happens to me is that I am lining up to ult with a teammate, but in the split second between me launching the Grav and my teammate getting in there
they die.

Yeah , because we need to pay attention to you

zarya: “my ultimate is ready!”
genji: “i’m in Africa having a bbq!”

Indeed. Pretty much a call to PAY ATTENTION to what your teammates have and what they are doing.

How about you pay attention to your zarya, there is a reason she isn’t using her ult

Maybe you should use voice comms to set up an ultimate combo with zarya. Instead of expecting them react perfectly to you pressing z, or whatever keybind you use to promt ult.

It sure sounds like your laziness is the main issue.

More like you should pay attention to the Zarya, Graviton isn’t worth using if you’re not getting at least half the team in it.

Lets be honest, zarya is the only hero that checks ult. Pay attention to HER, team. Its literally her thing.

Exactly my sentiments ol’ chap

I communicate to my teammate that I have my ult and that I am interested in a combo when I get back as I am currently on my way back to the fight from spawn.

Then they use their ult when I am only halfway there.

You follow Zarya, Zarya doesn’t follow you.

Hold onto your ult and let him/her set up the engagement for you. If you’re pushing them because you’re too antsy to press Q, that’s your problem, not their’s.

Half the time, setting up a good Grav is about waiting for the right moment to throw it. Just because YOU’RE ready, doesn’t mean it’s a good Grav opportunity.

Take a seat and let your tanks do their job.

I agree wth your overall point, but there are things Zarya’s team can do to help her be able to use it. Usually she’ll hold onto grav because there multiple things that can nullify it, from DM eating the ult itself to the presence of a full health Rein barrier or a Zen who has Trans.

It would be pointless for Zarya to drop Grav in front of Rein and waste not just her ult but your DPS ults as well. So unless the team can bust his barrier, demech the Dva, or kill the Zen first, she’s absolutely right to hold it. Sometimes the player misjudges or tunnel visions and it’s totally his/her fault.

I don’t disagree with you though, a lot of people are very lacking in awareness. But these are some tips I can give as a Zarya player to help with the “Zarya won’t ult” problem when you have one on your team.

theres nothing more annying then seeing your zarya gravs and then the dps’s too slow to reach it

sometimes the zarya is mistaken for using grav with no ult to follow up, sometimes the dps are wrong for seeing the zarya has 90%+ grav and still just randomly ult.
