Ramattra ult it's totally unbalanced, where is the nerf?

General Discussion

How cool do the developers think it is to put in a huge ULT field THAT ONLY ENDS WHEN NO ONE IS AROUND FOR A FEW SECONDS?

And worse, the character can stay in defensive mode as long as he wants.

And there’s still the fact that some healers make the character almost completely immortal.

DID YOU REALLY THINK BEFORE PLACING THIS ULT? OR JUST THOUGHT ABOUT SELLING THE CHARACTER IN THE PASS?

If all new characters launch like this, it just makes Blizzard’s intention very clear… to take money from you.

Or you destroy him before he can take a step or throw a punch.

Rein hammer down/pin
Dva bomb
Ana sleep dart
Widow sniper headshots
Hanzo headshots
McCree…

That just makes a few

Ram’s ult isn’t the juggernaut that people make it out to be.

3 ways to deal with it:

  1. Mobility. Simply move. Problem solved.

  2. Damage pressure. He’s scary now because of the movement speed buff, but he loses it if you force him to Block. Even of you can’t kill him (he’s being pocketed, say) he can now hardly move and you can even back away to safety and cancel his ult.

  3. Positioning. Just like a Dva bomb his ult can be LOS’d. Play ring around the payload for 3 seconds and it turns off. His ult turns him into a horror monster, so channel your inner final girl.

My dear friend…
There were several characters where the gameplay was toxic and nobody liked it, because it condemned the team a lot and all of these were nerfed and Ramattra is one of them.

Totally OP character, especially when the healer knows what to pick up and play with him… the ult is totally ridiculous.

He didn’t launch like this. He was too weak so they buffed him. The extra armor and especially 20% move speed are a big reason why his ult feels overpowered atm. Either way, I’d bet it gets some changes next patch. When devs are back from holidays.

Can’t headshot when he is blocking, and why is cree even listed? He does nothing special to ramattra. My issue with his ult is it’s pretty much Ana and tanks who can actually do something to cancel it. Since it’s through barriers or cc. Most heroes feel helpless against it, and killing him often isn’t an option before you’re dead since he can block so much while getting healed by supports. I don’t think the hero is op, but I’d bet on his ult getting nerfed soon enough.

None of what you described can pass through a payload in OT like Ramm’s ult can.

8

he wasn’t too weak, they justdidn’t give players enough time to play around with him and really learn the character before gigabuffing him

9

He died very easy, and wasn’t threatening. He needed buffs. He isn’t op even after his buffs.

10

I don’t think it’s totally unbalanced, but it could use an adjustment of some sort. Probably around his ability to block or block and move during it.

Devs on Holiday break, best I can do is silence :man_shrugging:

He literally got a movement speed buff for his bully form lmao.

He should only gain duration when he punches someone and it should only be like .5s

Lazy points being used here to try to defend an unbalanced ability.

  1. The AOE on his ult is simply too large to “Just move forehead”.
  2. Pure damage can be a solution but this stops working with competent supports to pocket an ulting rammatra. You have to lay down an obscene amount of damage to force him to block which even then doeesn’t solve his ult lasting forever (see issue #1)
  3. Attempting to "hide behind a payload in game with competent players simply isn’t all that practical. Especially for an ult that lasts as long as his. If even one person is getting hit by his ultimate then he stays in it.
    Its overtuned and it’s okay to say it. Don’t kill the character and the ultimate but bring it in line.

Tinfoil hatter in me says he’s not getting nerfed until he’s free.
