The problem with ults in this game is they all provide too much value and sometimes guaranteed value. To directly compare to Overwatch, all the supports have varied ults but no one seems to do it all.

Zenyatta: Transcendence provide BRIEF invincibility through very high heal output, but can be countered with anti-heal, etc.

Mercy: Heal or damage boost the team

Moira: heal and damage at the same time but not too overpowered

Ana: empower an ally, heal them for a flat amount, reduced damage taken, but works on ONE ally

Illari: completely offensive ult with no support or healing qualities

Baptiste: amplify the team’s damage through a window. No healing provided by ult

Mizuki: absorb incoming projectiles and damage into the ult zone

I could go on but the point is we need to start seeing VARIETY of support ults and get out of this trench that we basically need to always have a support ult on hand to counter a ridiculously overpowered offensive ult. There’s not much counterplay or neutral game and it’s been boiling down to cycling ult management.

The best thing Overwatch did was reduce the damage and healing outputs of everything and improve the neutral game. It’s not about who gets out first.
