I really hate Echo’s ultimate as well; in one of my other posts I put Doomfist, Hammond and Echo all in the ‘ruining the game’s pace’ category, and I stand by that. Echo is a character that shouldn’t be who she is, like, for so many reasons. And the cherry on top is her trash ultimate that just doesn’t work for me. I’d much rather she be a healer; then her hyper mobility wouldn’t be an issue to the gameplay, the fact that she can fly better and easier than Pharah wouldn’t matter so much because she’s not supposed to be DPSing, she’s supposed to be with her team to help heal them. Instead she can go anywhere, spend her ult to ‘save her life’, and keep being a thorn in her team’s side by feeding the enemy over and over again because no one can keep pace with her and once people are in the sky their gamesense seems to go right into the clouds.
well it is a DPS ult
it isn’t the worst ult in the game it just does allot of damage but can be blocked
you have to be smart with barage but to say it is the worst ult in the game and you are guranteed to die is just wrong
but-
wall is really good😟
imo
and honestly i dont think barrage is that terrible
In general I think Pharah needs some form of rework. Out of all the dps in the game; she is by far the easiest and most countered, to the point where she constantly needs to be babysat. Perhaps more survivability at the cost of damage could be something the devs consider.
Meteor strike says hello. Literally moira fade on an ult.
SR is masters, scrim low GM on projectile
Definitely not the worst ult. And definitely not guaranteed to die. If you think that then you’re just randomly pressing Q in front of everybody with no cover and no support. In that case you will die… but even then you’re probably getting kills before you die so at worst it’s a trade. An ult that is basically guaranteed to get at least one kill with potential for multiple is definitely not the worst ult.
You are guaranteed to die if you are dumb enough to do it in front of everyone.
Lots of players care about console
starting with (but not limited to) the console players themselves
finally, saying “not to be mean” doesn’t then absolve the statement that follows from being mean…in fact, “not to be mean” indicates that the statement was made with full knowledge that it could easily be taken that way
and it is
still better than Dead Eye. Good Pharah’s are crazy with it…
It’s kinda like Bastions tank mode… Kolorblind is insane with it, but most people say it’s bad.
But yeah three worst ults Dead Eye, Barrage, Death Blossom.
if you are smart when you use it not really.
Which are all unecessary besides the damage boost which you often want to maintain on a key player you are pocketing, often a hitscan that isnt going to be near enough for you to make use of its 10 meter radius for it to chain on to someone else.
I think Coalesence is much better as it has insane healing that can cleave onto multiple teammates as well as deal decent damage, as well as possibly both at the same time.
Right, and I think the worst are between Tactical Visor and Valkyrie as they fundamentally do not add much to the character that they cant already do. If i had to pick though, I would put Tactical Visor at worst and Valkyrie as second worst.
Personally I think Coal is the worst support Ult, with it’s biggest saving grace being how fast Moira can build them. Admittedly I play a TON of Sombra, so Coal gets canceled immediately a TON of the time.
You’re underestimating the added survival factor of Valk. A Mercy that pops Valk in response to the start of a Hack lives, the added mobility and instant regen kicking in is huge.
You ask Ana for a nano boost.
As a Pharah Main, I actually prefer to treat my Barrage sort of like Tracer’s pulse bomb, often targeting a single-target. I know that this is an ultimate where the most value is getting a single target and staying alive is the minimum best result, and I often find it acceptable if I can trade for 2 to 1. In my opinion, most Pharah players often “advertise” they have barrage by not finding a way to properly flank in and make the attack. Remember to use your natrual vertical advantage to attack overhead or from behind your opponent. I personally believe Barrage is rather balanced. I only wish I could get a stronger splash damage ratio to my primary fire these days.
Yes. Coal is by far the worst support ult. It has no game changing value. “But it heals a lot!” You know what heals more? M1+ Orb. The damage it does can literally be healed right through by any support.
Valk is a superior ultimate in every way. It has more mobility, more versatility, more killing power, it lasts longer, and like you also mentioned: it can’t be canceled.
The average number of Rocket Barrage kills per game is 5.27, making it one of the more consistent Damage ultimates, actually. It’s not the worst, like at all.
The most consistent Damage Ultimate is Dragonblade 
That probably aplicable for most chanted ultimates in the game, really.
To my knowledge, no competetive OW event has ever been held on console. Such events form a baseline that guides balance.
Imagine trying to balance Smash Brothers or Street Fighter without a competitive scene.
Mouse and keyboard, the standard FPS input, is considered an exploit on console. Like it or not, you’re playing a different game.
Imagine if there was another system that played Smash Brothers or Street Fighter on old school DDR dance pads. Just doing special moves and combos would be hard.
This would radically impact the meta.
Finally, console players can make an unlimited number of accounts, making interpretation of stats even more difficult.
So yes, console is different. You thinking I’m mean doesn’t change that fact.
It also doesn’t change the fact that Blizzard is obviously not invested in console as a competitive venue.
I think Tac Visor is worse. Whole Hog is often good against tanks and I’ve gotten uses out of it for ruining nanoblades.
