Just listen, please, and understand why Pharah’s ult is unique in that it’s problematic for BOTH teams.
Against enemies that can counter her, such as hitscan, Pharah is way too easy to headshot while ulting. So she’s a problem on her own team because she’s got to hold all day for when her counters are not able to shoot her. Meanwhile, those enemies that don’t do so well against aerial targets, she melts them instantly and it almost feels unfair.
The solution needs to be a balancing of her ult.
Give Pharah some movement, such as how Sigma was patched long ago to move more during his ult. BUT at the same time reduce her Barrage strength in some appropriate way. For example, increase the spread or reduce the rockets speed or reduce the duration or whatever can be done so that it’s a bit weaker against the enemies that can’t counter her, but with movement she can at least do something about being so easily headshot.
Flatten the effectiveness out. This would also make boosted ults less ridiculous, and make it more likely she’s hit with a stun and all enemies can counter, instead of some enemies getting instakilled or she gets instakilled.
No she doesn’t it’s meant to be a high risk = high reward ultimate and you can have a zarya bubble you or Kiriko suzu you if you really don’t want to die during her ultimate.

The damage would need to be reduced significantly if she got any kind of movement for it. It can be played around with positioning currently to not be in good LOS of the enemy team. Don’t think it needs changing.
I think if anything they could experiment with letting players stop the ultimate at will, much rather that than giving her high damage and mobility.
Id be Ok with this.
I just wish she had some kind of armor or shielding to protect her during her Ult. She dies way too often mid-Ult.
It would still be high risk high reward like McCree’s ult. He too is nearly immobile but moving at least slightly makes him less susceptible to headshots.
Again, adjust the offensive portion accordingly, but being instantly headshot is ridiculous.
Or DVA DM all incoming projectiles.
Does the corpse falling to the ground count as movement while ulting? Because she’s got that already.
In my wildest dreams. I swear this was never a part of it.
Just want to imagine this - this would make me mald as a tank.
I don’t mald but hits the spot.
