Caveats: All Ults have a purpose and all can be used skillfully. A well-used low-tier Ult will oftentimes impact the game more than a stupidly used high-tier Ultimate. Also, Ults exist in context. Tracer’s Ult, is more like a third ability to round out her overall great kit whereas Zarya’s exceptionally powerful Ult is balanced by having a high charge cost.
Tier A
- Reinhardt’s Earth Shatter
- Zarya’s Graviton Surge

- Junkrat’s Rip-Tire

Tier D
- McCree’s DeadEye
- Orisa’s Supercharger
- Roadhog’s Whole Hog
- Tracer’s Pulse Bomb
- Reaper’s Death Blossom
I think if you wanted to use a “tier list” for ultis, you need to take into account of how easy it is to charge them up too. Making EMP easily Tier A, especially in higher level play. Many heroes are more balanced around the fact that their impact is slightly lower till their ultimate is up, those heroes generally have much more powerful ultimates.

Idk if I missed any Sym is in rework so skip.
You can stick Bastion’s in the lowest tier. Tank config is 1.5 seconds and immobile, meaning it can’t be used mid-fight or you’ll die. It must be used in anticipation of a fight, and at only 8 seconds, it’ll be over before you know it.

I think you forgot Hanzo’s. I’d put him in the A tier.
I based this list on personal experiences. I personally get above average value when I pop tank mode, but you must understand I don’t play loads of bastion. Even though it sounds like fun playing more bastion.
Long story short. List is based on “me”
if coupled with zarya i believe its A tier. without its slow and very easy to dodge.
EMP takes a reasonable time to charge now, but no one has seen a Sombra in 3 months so it’s easy to misrememver that it is the fastest charging ult in the game.
Roadhog’s whole hog is not Tier D. You’re likely using him in the wrong situations.
Why do people apparently think Valk is on the same level as Grav? It does nothing, it counters nothing. It’s either a crappy Orisa OR a crappy Zen ult, that also allows her an escape option if the enemy team is bad.
Part of why Mercy feels so garbage to play right now is because Valk is trash.

Tracer since nerf (she doesn’t need an ult anyway)
