I’ve been wondering this for a long time. Ever since the DM nerfs I rarely ever get to eat ultimates.
If us plebs could get this info across the board for all ranks would be awesome, thank you.

I expect a little bit more than before now that we have another tank who can absorb ultimates, who’s even meta.
I could be wrong of course.
zero… one second thing made sure of that

Before DM nerfs, the best ultimate eater in OWL only ever ate max 5 ultimates in a match and the best rate of eating ultimates was only 50%, I believe it was Fury, correct me if I’m wrong.
More often than not, dva would only eat one ultimate in a match. And this is with optimal hardware for players. It’s also worth noting that 3 different dva players could only block one out of the tens of barrages from the Finals DDing Pharah player. 48 Barrage kills versus one blocked barrage basically. As for Zarya, 40+ graviton surge kills versus 0-3 ultimates eaten.
Dva feeds far more ultimates that she can ever eat, much less block. Unnerfed DM dva wasn’t worth running as an ultimate eater even for pros, basically don’t ever run Dva with the sole intention of eating ultimates since your chances of eating and blocking ultimates is super low nowdays.
Dva dying 13 times feeds 9750 ulti charge to the enemy team. Not even taking account anything else like healing dva, staggers and whatnot, that’s already 4.6 graviton surges per match for Zarya, with current ulti charge percentages and not the old ones. Zaryas during goats were spamming gravs like candy. Zarya benefits the most from beaming dva, since she has no defences against it.
Basically, even the best grav surge eater in the world, in a victorious match, doesn’t break even. Even if she fed other chars besides Zarya their ultis she cannot even eat.

1 each game but now they can throw it on the ground and DM won’t pic up. So… that’s that.
