Q press after Q press
Pressing Q literally wins the game.
There’s no wonder the most strict metas are always the ones in wich Zarya is overpowered.
Blizz, rework that Q, straight up, OR remove that no-counterplay buff you gave her a few months ago where you literally can’t escape the grav, no matter what.

Run a Zen/Ana.
Zen trans + Ana nade can outheal a Grav+Dragon even if they have a Mercy damage boost the Hanzo.
Not to mention that an Ana can counter the enemy Zen trans.

I do think there should be some exceptions to Grav other than wraith/fade, but I don’t feel like straight up reverting the change is a good idea.
For example, if Sombra already placed a translocator, why can she not use it? or why can Tracer not recall out of it? In my opinion, these two should be allowed to leave
But on the other hand, throwing a grav at 6 people and they all get out like it is no big deal is pretty unfair for the Zarya, which is how it used to be.

But that would mean the team has to plan around a hero! And we can’t have that!
Blizzard fix!!

since recall is billed as time travel and not space warping I agree with your logic here 100%

Run Ana? They probably won’t need the combo to kill you all, and on console playing Ana is virtually throwing.

Absolutely, but i am 100% sure there should be counterplay to an ult other then “press more Q then them”
Getting grav’d is the most disgusting feeling in overwatch to be honest, you just completely lose control of everything just because a guy pressed Q in your general direction

Am I the only one here who likes to figure out how to counter the enemy team? No offense, getting a team wipe thru the zarya ult feels bad on the enemy side, but you can also try not to feed zarya bubbles too much damage.

Zarya being meta again was the only good thing to come out of the Hanzo buffs

Zarya deserves to be in the meta cuz rest of her play kit demands so much skill. It takes a lot of time to charge the ult even when done right. Grav is a perfect reward for the difficulty. Its the rest that feels unfair. Grav barrage always existed and even goes through transcendence. Dragon strike being so riskless compared to suicide barrage it always confirms grav has its value cuz even if hanzo dies the dragons will do the job.

I just wish Graviton Surge was more counterable or at least easier for D.Va to eat or for Genji to deflect. The majority of the surges I have DM’d with D.Va were due to pure luck or misplay by the Zarya, since it is so easy to bait and wait out Defense Matrix and then fire off during its down time, no de-meching needed.

I think that gravitron should really feel more like a gravity well rather than an instant [YOU HIT THE RADIUS SO NOW YOU ARE SNAPPED TO THE CENTRE].
Basically, have an increasing force towards the centre the closer you are to the centre. Movement abilities are only disabled for people who hit the centre. In exchange, Zarya is buffed elsewhere in her kit.

resurrect was a counter to that, oh wait…

I dislike Zarya metas because getting Q’d to oblivion over and over is just terrible, mostly because only Zen, out of 6 people can prevent that.
If the Zen is not on point and you are playing idk Mercy or Mcree or whatever you get owned, there’s nothing you can do.

It all boils down to the comp if the enemy team was dive then the grav would barely capture 2 - 3 people as dive is so split but brigette…… Bunker comps are pretty bad these days so no one actually runs it as hog , junk , orisa have been directly or indirectly faced nerfs whos are the key heroes. Deathball demands people to group together when running rien zarya to get maximum value from rien zarya. When both teams run it ofcourse grav will cap all 6.
I mean it all comes down to the fact that getting grav’d feels like crap
Reaper, moira and orisa can escape with ease right now as is. New sym can build a teleporter in it and get the whole team out with ease. Zarya literally has one of the most useless ults that requires massive follow up by your team to get it’s value. I honestly want them to rework Zarya’s Q too but I want them to make it more powerful.
how’s about instead of 5 damage a second the grav is treated like a legit black hole and does 100s of damage a second? sounds like good compensation for ruining the only good thing about her ult.
