I’ve been seeing a lot of complaining about Ball lately and, as a Ball main myself, I would like to give yall some tips as to how to deal with that pesky rat on the enemy team.

For starters, make sure you take WIDE angles, and try to extend as much as you can, especially if you are a dps or support player. After all, what backline can Ball dove if there is no backline? Do this especially when you’re below bridges with a lot of hiding spots on top of it. You’ll see the results quite quickly.

Play on the high ground by yourself. Since Ball’s guns are really weak at long range, it’s your job as widow to get as far away from everyone as possible. Go to a point of high ground on the opposite side of the map and start sniping. Ball will not know what to do!

There is a common misconception that you need to play Ball’s counters to shut him down, when in reality, that’s a skill issue! Make sure to never swap from your long range hitscan character and just keep trying. Surely it will work eventually!
That’s my top 3 tips for going up against a Ball. Now make sure to leave a like and subscribe and idk don’t play Sombra 
P.S. I publically apologize for writing ‘dove’ instead of ‘dive’ in the first tip. Just imagine that o is an i. Thank you!

Zarya. Currently in a massive OP state, where nothing Ball does affects her, and even strengthens her.
These tips have helped me against every single Ball on ladder. I highly recommend you guys give it a try!

No no no, you see actually characters that are very bunker-y, like Sigma, work best against Ball. Make sure to blow are your cooldowns at once while extended far past your team to have maximum success.
can someone tell me how to counter ball as a supp. The easiest, for obvious reasons, i find is Moira. But, i don’t like paying moira.
Simple: Just make sure to stand really close edges and don’t worry about what’s going on to the left or right of you.

Hold on, we have to pay the heroes? I didn’t sign up for that. Does Blizz just send an invoice? How much does Hog cost per game?
Or are you paying her for something else you kinky little fox?
Yeah, but Zarya doesn’t have mobility. Pick a dive comp against her and make her have to bubble her teammates from afar. Get your kill, and retreat. Rinse and repeat.
Yeah, y’see, you need a complete new team that knows how to do that. Can’t do that as a lonely Ball, hoping the rest of team picks up the pace.
Completely ignore him, stay as a team and heal through his dives. If no one goes off solo, he won’t get any kills. You don’t need to kill him to counter him

This is the answer to almost all tanks, and that should indicate how bad Sombra is for the game.
No no no, you got it all wrong you should actually turn your attention towards the ball after he slams you and fall down in a predictable arch.
Or just do this:
Step 1: Never be in position to 1v1 him
hahahaha I meant “playing”. 
paying her for something else…?? like what? got some ideas? hahahah Lol
Just play heroes he can’t kill and use brain
