Doesn’t matter how “balanced” he is, it just feels so irritating the way he’s able to cycle his cooldowns and just never die. His gameplay loop feels similar to playing against an Orisa

Ignore the tank duel kill the backline.

You could go someone who ignores his CDs, like Rein, Ram, Queenie, Rat, Pharah, D.va, Ball, Echo, Reaper, Baptiste.
I’ll explain just for credence’s sake, because these don’t sound very good in a matchup at first glance.
He can’t absorb Reinhardt’s Hammer or Ram’s punches, Reinhardt can charge behind him as well, avoiding the black hole for a fire strike. Also can’t absorb Carnage.
D.va can go above and behind the Sigma in order to primary fire → missile him in the back, while he can’t absorb it.
Echo/Pharah are similar, so is JR, Ball, Reaper, Bap. They all have the ability to get behind the Sigma while he’s grasping at air and pummel him with either a combo or straight primary damage. Jr can mine combo him, Reaper’s shotguns do HELLA damage at a close range in the backside of him, Bap can jump and shoot him from above, Echo has sticky/primary/beam combo, Queenie can carnage → shout → melee to get behind him and start gunning him down, and by that point you’re close enough that his shield can’t do jack.
Yeah… Sigma has always been pretty cheeks to fight against. You spend half the time fighting his barrier. He’s not broken but I really hope he doesn’t become meta outside of his long sightlines maps.

that’s kind of the general aim for tanks to play as, there’s obviously others that may have more damage but for example be less tanky and vice versa… (and ofc not always equally, could have too much one or the other)
Actually don’t disagree. He’s quite annoying. Also, his ult keeps getting me when I’m out of the circle and I do not know how
