Ults butchered by balance

I start with:

Ram (better at launch)
Mauga (better at launch)
Soldier (Season 9 changes)
Reaper (Season 9 changes)
Sojourn (Season 9 changes)
Genji (Season 9 changes)

What’s yours?

Braguette actually had a raid boss ultimate and worked as a second tank. Now, she just gets a good amount of overhealth and has to rely on another healer once those are gone.

i think full team rez (as an Ult) is 100000% better than current Val ULt.

Let’s agree to disareportyou.

Yeah Soldier was very strong before season 9 hp changes.

season 12 hp changes helped a bit tho thankfully

Ram’s ultimate hasn’t received a change since there was a maximum duration added. Not that anyone intentionally got it that high.

No changes to Mauga’s ultimate.

Soldier’s Tactical Visor critically hits now. Prior to that, no falloff was overpowering.

Was buffed.

Overclock wasn’t buffed or saw any reductions. It also just recently got buffed.

Dragonblade now swings faster and has a higher damage per second. You do require more swings for a kill, however. But players complained about one-shot combos, so this had to happen.

2 Shots for a kill isn’t bad. That’s half your shots for the duration.

It was bugged, and new Rally is a lot stronger. But it won’t be solo-ing Tanks with it, by intention.

Not really. Soldier saw a damage decrease prior to season 9 and falloff changes. Tactical Visor getting a buff puts him back to the same number of shots to kill as if it were prior to season 9.

Hanzo. Already was a very underwhelming ult before S9 — absolutely useless now.

The RAM one was necessary, no one liked an infinitely lasting … whatever his ult is called I forget…

Mauga I’m not sure what they changed about it to make it worse

Others just kinda got shafted by the S9 changes with no compensation buffs.

It’s still 300 damage per second that only Transcendence can out pace.

It could be 1000 damage per second, it is irrelevant if it doesn’t actually hit anyone.

Current Hanzo’s ult is bad at killing and bad at zoning.

Virtually every single ultimate in the damage-role is bad because they can’t hit anyone. As it is constantly repeated for nearly a decade at this point; damage-role ultimates require back-up and enabling to work. Doing them solo is a recipe for disaster and being a dead-weight.

He used to get infinite ammo during his ult.

Riptire
Also because of the season 9 changes

ahh, didn’t really know that. that was probably also when his Cardiac OD was busted, too.

That was a buff, his sword has the hitbox of a Rein hammer now.
