Welp, there is also df who also have ult you cant realy stop.
Because they kinda make sense while Sigma doesn’t. Do you even play the game ? Have you seen how those ults work ?
Pretty dumb tho. Most sigmas instantly place their ult so enemies dont spred out so yeah that small window exists but getting close enough to him to stun him out of it (especially when it lets him fly) is bit unrealistic. Not to mention his ult is basically undodgeable and only have zarya bubble or bap field
sigma’s ult is canceled if you stun him before he lifts people up and after he activates the ult.
That’s a considerably longer window in comparison to the rest.
Basically what flotaku said.
Killing those hero’s dont make their ults vanish. Stunning him before he lifts someone cancels the ult.
It’s a cast-time Ult. Like all the others, you can interrupt the initial cast but after that it is out there ie Sombra, Hanzo, Mei, Rein, Orisa, Sym, ect. Technically Ana, Zarya, Bap, and a few others are in this category as well, but they cast near instantly, so it’s rather moot.
If you want to increase Sigma’s Ult cast time, I can get behind that. If you want to make a special exception to Sigma’s Ult so it doesn’t interact the same way as other cast-time Ults, I’m strongly against it.
This I will give people, it seems lazy and actually broken that the ult continues if he is stunned or slept before the slam. Like the game actually looks glitched when it happens. It’s actually pathetic for such a big game
Think of it like a projectile ultimate; Hanzo’s dragon, Mei’s Blizard, Torb’s Molten Core, none of these stop after the player dies.
They also are not them controlling gravity to slam people to the ground. Nothing he does in his ultimate is a projectile
It’s preset. When he uses his “my ultimate is ready” voice line, he’ll sometimes say “the experiment is about to begin.” Whatever he does for Gravitic flux, it’s preset and predetermined to go through every step once it starts.
Junkrat when eliminate still can use his ult. Mei’s ult is still there after it’s thrown despite being stunned and/or eliminated. Genji can still use his ult after being stunned.
there is nothing wrong with sigma being able to.
Also idk it has been changed but even if you kill him during it (when lifted up) you will still get slammed into the ground even if hes dead by then.
This seemed really stupid to me.
Those are things already out. He has to slam people down in the animation. The game actually looks broken when he is sleeping and they come slamming down.
I get it, you fear the free ride will end, but a countered ult should be countered
It’s pretty similar to mei’s ult though. An area it affects and unless she is stunned/eliminated before throwing it, it’ll land. Same goes for sigma, stunning him before he chooses a place will make him cancel.
Someone are in the air, the one causing it is sleeping, do you think they’ll gently land down?
some ults are countered, other’s aren’t. there are plenty of time walking out of the ult, it’s not like mei’s in that aspect because it does not slow you.
free ride? wanna elaborate?
Meis ult is a deployable with an AOE. Its in many ways more similar to Tracer, Zarya or Dva than Sigma.
With sigma the animation/the game behaves as if Sigma himself is performing the action of lifting them and then slamming them into the ground. It makes it look really dumb in a game with 0 fall dmg to be lifted into the air, have sigma killed and then still get slammed into the ground and take the dmg.
I feels more as if you killed a genji as he was about to slash in dragon blade and the slash goes through anyway even if genji is dead.
This applies to sigma. You kill him prior to the lift and it won’t go off
Many find the universe confusing… that’s the beauty of it.
he does channel…before he targets. stop him then
it makes no sense to cancel his ult when he dies because the people he lifted up have still got to come back down…
yes. i have played the game.
and gravitic flux makes sense too. he lifts you up. you must come down. simple.
And it’s pretty similar to sigma’s. AOE while placing it somewhere. It would also be equally weird to be in the air and gently be placed down because the one casting the ult died.
It’s not much problem as there are other ults similar to sigma’s.
