I think it’s interesting that 3 out of 5 of the best Damage ultimates in Overwatch 1 are still in the Top 5 Damage Ultimates in Overwatch 2.
Death Blossom is quite clearly one of the best ultimates in the game. The only reason Echo is above Reaper is because she duplicates Reaper from a slightly better position for her Death Blossom.
The Kitsune Rush assists are deceiving. It gives you 1 assist for every teammate that assisted in an elimination. If 3 teammates kill 1 enemy, you get 3 assists. Not sure if that’s intended.
I assume if this was organized by rank it would be very different… the idea that death blossom is so high in the list is likely because there is more value in it in the metal ranks.
The kitsune rush is certainly well out of the scope of this. Most all things on here are purely eliminations and not actually assists. If you want to include assists you’d be including a bunch of the other supports ults like beat, mercy, zen, lifeweaver, and rally. These are all assists.
That is so surprising, One of my more recent mains is reaper in high diamond and I honestly ult for 2 kills (usually main healer) instead of looking team wipes. If I do team wipe its only after blossom makes the rest of the team low enough for me to shot them dead.
It seems like it’s most effective at low ranks where people will just run into it and at high ranks where people can time it so well that it’s impossible to avoid.
In the middle ranks, the Reapers aren’t good enough to use it well and the other players are too good to just run into it.
Problem with Kiriko is that you get an assist from EVERY SINGLE SEPARATE teammate compared to other abilities.
E.g. if you play Mercy, damage boost your Reinhardt and Reaper (via ult) when fighting Ramattra and he dies, you get 1 assist. And if you just boosted Reinhardt or just Reaper, you’d still get one assist.
But in Kiriko’s case, she will get TWO assists if the Reinhardt and Reaper kill Ramattra inside the Kitsune. Effectively, if 4 of her teammates damage each enemy teammate once, and they all die, she’ll get freaking 20 Kitsune assists from it for some reason even though it’s effectively just 5.
Not saying the ult is weak or strong, it’s strong, but the number is definitely super inflated.
