I haven’t been able to do my ult a single time tonight without getting interrupted out of it, having interruptible ults to some extent is important but this is ridiculous. As a Sigma player it feels like my ult is almost useless, like a stiff breeze hits me and my ult is gone instantly. He was already a sitting duck just floating in the air waiting to get shot but now someone sneezes 10 feet away from me and my ults gone? Excuse me? Why? Im fine with a range nerf and i was even fine with nerfing the damage on his boulder but why exactly does his ult need to be this fragile? This feels like one of the most unnecessary nerfs Ive seen in ages, im literally praying they revert this nerf, it just makes the character feel so much worse. Anyone else having this problem? What do you guys think?
I have…
…once…
…and then died immediately after it finished casting…
I suppose you just need to get used to not using it while your face is pressed against opponents who have interrupts. The only abilities with enough range that they should have any chance of interrupting Flux are Sleep Dart, Hack, and Accretion.
I think I managed to get his ult off once, but it was with a nano.
I got a bunch of them off, but I was playing safe so nothing died.
Also I barely play Sigma so it must’ve been a fluke.
Maybe be a bit more aware of what’s around you. Don’t ult around Roadhog.
If you play it right you should have no problems, they just made it so you can’t just brainlessly use it anymore.
Lets assume it is quite a weak ultimate however, whats wrong with this hero having 1 weakness. Good damage, defence, easy to hit stun etc.
He’s the squishiest tank in the game, he can’t kill through healing since his fire rate is so garbage and his oneshot combo is gone, he takes two forms of self-damage, he’s vulnerable to close-range aggro to the point that his only self-defence (his rock) stuns him for longer than it stuns the opponent at point blank range, his ult, in addition to being just a worse Blizzard, takes four hundred years to charge, his range is hard limited to 22m, his cooldowns are longer than most tank cooldowns and unlike every other main tank, he has no armour or CC mitigation.
He has so many weaknesses.
To me he was a little over nerfed on his ult.
His ultimate is fine, what killed sigma was taking his shield away and nerfing accretion damage. Sigma and orisa together don’t even add up to a single reinhardt shield.
Welcome to so many other ults. Nice to have Sigma’s ult design down to the majority of the other heroes ults.
All the press Q to respawn ults don’t take this long to charge.
It’s also the only ult where I can be out of the graphic and still getting picked up and slammed.
How bad are you guys at playing Sigma? I’ve had incredible ults still.
You MUST be doing something drastically wrong
Grav nabs people through floors and walls. People complain about shatter all the time for some reason. I wouldn’t say it’s unprecedented.
OP also says he’s getting interrupted. There are only 3 heroes I can think of that can interrupted him while in the air… Hog, another Sigma and Sombra. Brig can if she’s on a ledge at his height. I did that once. I was on the route 66 gas station roof and he raised up to my level. BAM.
If Sigma’s self-damage is a problem for you, you might have bigger issues than the hero.
I would like to point out that once Sigma locks in his ult he can go back to attack or use his DM while still in the air.
You could always try pre-placing your shield right before you ult? It’s definitely telegraphing, but that beats dying or being stunned out of it.
Mccree, dying, Ana sleep, getting frozen, somehow getting pinned or earthshattered by rein are also posibilities. But still, just play smarter, for instance. Put your shield in the air before casting, then shield dance during the ult.
