Okay, so Sigma has another “screw Ana” ult, that, like Meteor Strike, can’t easily be dodged by old granny legs. Fine. Whatever. But at least make it so that if I sleep him the ult stops and I don’t take damage. I hit my skillshot, I couterplayed, and nope, I’m in the air and get slammed back down like nothing happened. I haven’t tried other stuns yet, but this should be consistent, if I can stun rein out of shatter, and make mei lose her entire ult, same for Sigma.
I believe if you sleep him before he activates the ult, it cancels it.

I’m talking about after he has chosen the location. If you sleep him after the location has been chosen, and you start to rise in the air, nothing happens
Sleep him before he activates it then.

cant nade yourself in midair right? XD
Problem I have with this is that similar ults are much more harsh on getting stunned during them. His ult continues unabated and unchanged with him stunned, yet if you stun say, mei, during her cast time, her entire ult is wasted. The only comparable ult is Meteor Strike, yet that at least has a several seconds for you to leave the area before doom hits, but no such thing with Sigma’s Ult. His targeting is visible, yes, but as soon as he presses the key where he wants it, the ult activates, and you are trapped. Even if you move out of the original target area while mid air, you still take the same damage.
What goes up must come down dude.

If you stun Sigma during his initial cast time it cancels his ability.
If you ult Mei once it has already been deployed it doesn’t.
Before the lift, it can be interrupted, when it starts to lift you it can’t be hacked or stopped even if he dies. If you can’t hit your skill shot or kill him in the seconds it takes him to get into a good position while he is pretty slowly floating in a static position, you kid of deserve death.

Then why can Mcree be slept mid deadeye, when it has a similar large charge time? Why is Sigma special, that he gets a long windup ult with no ability to interrupt after casting? Even implement some sort of percentage system, where stunning him midway through causes a percentage of damage based on how long the ult was active.
That’s exactly why mcree’s ult is absolute trash.
The problem with your comparison is that you can’t target Doom before he activates MS, so his landing time is more forgiving towards the player. Sigma, on the other hand, is one of the biggest floating targets in the game during his cast.
There’s a delay even if you don’t seem to be noticing it apparently.
Yeah. He should lose his extremely powerful ult if he gets stunned/killed/slept.
Stop rewarding sloppy play.
He does lose it if you sleep/kill/stun him before he finishes casting it.
He should be vulnerable until it hits, like basically anyone else would be.
Because the business end of Deadeye is an instakill; you don’t pass the point of no return on the ult activation until the targets are already dead. The casting is the glowing voice line; the activation is the “DRAW”.
Sigma’s ult passes the point of no return once it activates (begins the lift). It’s just like how D.Va can eat Mei’s ult as she’s throwing it (casting), but not once it’s in place and has activated (there’s a circle on the ground that has started to freeze). You can kill Mei while her ult is active, but that doesn’t cancel the ultimate.
Sigma’s ult is also more forgiving than Doom’s—If Ana is stuck in the meteor strike zone, she dies. If she’s caught in Sigma’s lift, she can be bubbled, matrixed, shielded, healed, and otherwise peeled for. Of course it’s still bad news for her, but she has a nonzero chance of getting out of there alive.

and easily avoidable
The only way an Ana could possible get killed by the current Meteor Strike is if she literally stood still and didn’t move at all. Meteor Strike is also blocked by barriers while Sigma’s ult isn’t.
All of these can be done for Meteor Strike as well.
Hence the, “If Ana is stuck”.
Yes, but only before it hits, whereupon Doomfist does strong and instant damage to everything unprotected in the zone. Meanwhile, Ana can be shielded and healed for the entire duration of Sigma’s ultimate, and can even shoot back at her attackers.
Again, I’m not trying to act like Sigma’s ult is no big deal or that it’s not very bad for Ana if she gets caught in it. I’m just saying that, while the casting part is similar to Doomfist’s ult, the consequences of getting stuck in it are much more akin to grav or blizzard—other ults that are serious, but not an instant death sentence.
