F Tier Damage Ultimates

Cassidy Hero Portrait

Cassidy

Deadeye Hero Ability

Deadeye

  • High damage, but inconsistent

His ultimate has never been good as it is easily kited and mitigated by a Genji deflect. Cassidy simply becomes an easy target, and despite having some damage reduction, rarely will players get an opportunity to effectively utilize this ability.

D Tier Damage Ultimates

Soldier Hero Portrait

Soldier: 76

Tactical Visor

  • Ineffective against shields, but consistent

Another hitscan ultimate that is similar to Cassidy's, this ability falls flat as shield can very easily mitigate the damage dealt or players can simply kite around until it expires.

Widowmaker Hero Portrait

Widowmaker

Widowmaker Ultimate Ability

Infra-Sight

  • Great utility, but low impact

A good ultimate it can provide intel onto the enemy team which can drastically shift the tide of the game, however, it often does not provide any further utility as most players simply ignore it or wait it out before they pursue any aggressive plays.

C Tier Damage Ultimates

Mei Hero Portrait

Mei

Mei Blizzard Icon

Blizzard

  • Good zoning, but easily avoidable

Despite allowing for an easy pick onto a frozen target, the game has progressed to the point where support can easily assist the frozen target so they can survive a skirmish or delay the damage enough so players need to waste even more abilities for the kill. Isolating picks is simply too difficult, but it can still find its purpose in some scenarios.

Hanzo Hero Portrait

Hanzo

Dragonstrike

  • Disruptive, but dodgeable

A great zoning tool but it requires perfect placement as it can be easily dodged due to the sound cue. Very useful to disrupt tempo and shake up the enemy's backline in skirmishes.

Reaper Hero Portrait

Reaper

Reaper Death Blossom

Death Blossom

  • High DPS, but inconsistent
Just like the other hitscans, his ultimate can be pretty easy to block as while the damage is not to be ignored, it requires a lot of preparation to justify putting Reaper in a vulnerable position.

Genji Hero Portrait

Genji

Genji Dragon Blade

Dragonblade

  • Very impactful, but a double-edged sword

Requiring perfect discipline, execution to get picks or space, one of the best ultimates to lead the initiative, however, you become susceptible to the enemy focusing you down before you can get in more resets to further push your team's tempo.

B Tier Damage Ultimates

Junkrat Hero Portrait

Junkrat

Junkrat RIP Tire

RIP-Tire

  • Great damage, but easily detectable

Although the tire can be easily killed as it has a small health pool, utilizing it in combination with your teammates can be the difference in a fight as it packs quite a punch. 

Ashe Icon Classic

Ashe

BOB Ultimate Icon

B.O.B.

  • Very flexible and consistent, but easy to counter

A great option to handle any composition, but it is unreliable in some situations as the enemy team can headshot him without Ashe being able to pick up crucial kills.

Sombra Hero Icon

Sombra

Sombra EMP Icon

EMP

  • Great utility, but slow charge rate

With the ultimate being nerfed, it seems that its relevancy and consistency have dropped as it is more effectively used for 1v1 picks with the damage not making it worth using in bigger skirmishes. 

A Tier Damage Ultimates

Echo Hero Portrait

Echo

Duplicate Ultimate Icon

Duplicate

  • Reliable, but not always very effective

Being able to copy an enemy hero can harbor great opportunities for surprise combos catching the enemy team off guard. Overall, this ability allows for great picks in ideal scenarios, but can also fall flat if there isn't enough backup from your team to fully utilize it.

Torbjorn Hero Icon

Torbjörn

Torb Molten Core

Molten Core

  • Excellent zoning and damage if ignored too long

A great tool to zone enemy players as it becomes a nightmare to deal with on payload maps. If left ignored, the damage over time will be prove very beneficial to your team.

Pharah Hero Portrait

Pharah

Barrage Icon Display

Barrage

  • Amazing damage, but can be easily targeted if not set up correctly

An amazing burst damage ability as it can oneshot any enemy not paying enough attention above them.

Symmetra Icon Portrait

Symmetra

Photon Barrier Icon

Photon Barrier

  • Incredible shield utility, only vulnerable to EMP

A great defensive utility ability as only Sombra's EMP can counter it, however, it effectively splits the map in two providing your team a moment to reposition or better defend an objective.

Bastion Icon Classic

Bastion

Bastion Ultimate Icon

Configuration: Artillery

  • Great damage and zoning

A great damaging ability to either force enemy cooldowns or get a pick before a fight happens as it plays excellently into Bastion's other abilities.

Tracer Icon Classic

Tracer

Tracer Pulse Bomb

Pulse Bomb

  • Consistent for easy kills, great synergy with other heroes

A powerful ultimate that is not to be underestimated as when paired effectively with another teammates ability it can significantly snowball the game in your favor allowing for your team to further push their tempo and secure control over a contested objective.

S Tier Damage Ultimates

Sojourn Hero Portrait

Sojourn

Sojourn Ultimate Ability

Overclock

  • Almost no weaknesses, very consistent and amazing damage

An ideal DPS ultimate allowing for players to quickly oneshot unsuspecting enemies to turn fights as it does not require a lot of skill to efficiently use it.
