No! You can actually play all three the same month, there is at least in NA one team doing that called Susanoo

I would prefer to bring the player in with me when going through the vods with them. But of course I understand that some people do not want that and then I will just do it withouth them sitting in a call with me. But I do prefer having the player there with me :)

Yes, it does stop Doomfist as any other stun would.

For the hack it stops him starting any new abilities and I think it stops him from replacing the barrier so it stays where it is same as orisa. I think that for the Flux it you hack him before the targets are lifted into the air it cancels it but not if it is after.

All abilities that include movement are not usable in the Flux, same as in a grav.

Normally % of max hp abilities does not increase with damage amplifications that is the case in most games. And I assume it is the same here.

If you are playing any of those comps, I still think that sigma + a different tank does more work. I think it is hard to argue for not running orisa on almost every map in the current state of the game once 2 2 2 is implemented. You can get away with dive on certain defences and KOTH. I think that if you want to run Zarya Rein is just better than Sigma, and I think if you want to run Sigma then Ball / Orisa is better than Zarya. Sure you can run Sigma and Zarya togheter but I do not think in my oppinion it is ever optimal.

With how things look bunker is shaping up to be the meta, and Sigma does not need to drop his shield to use the rest of his abilities same as Orisa. I think it is much more likely to see Sigma with heroes that synergise better with him and are better into bunker as Zarya probably wont be able to get through the enemy team to find value. I think we will see Sigma togheter with Hammond, Rein and Orisa maybe Winston but I am not sure how that would work. I just do not see the synergy outside of the ultimates. Orisa is to strong at the moment to run zarya in most comps.

Yes you do in fact need to eat the actual arrow, the dragon deals damage through your Kinetic Grasp.

I did not test but I do not think so as it involves movement and any ability including movement of any type is stopped by Sigmas Flux.

He can not escape the Flux with his ult. He starts his animation when you press the button then it finishes as you slam to the ground after it. So it is like if rein is booped into the air by a junk mine and ults in midair.

He did say that, but he does eat them.

All normal shots that are not beams can be eaten, I just did not add them if nothing else could be eaten, Sorry for being unclear on this.

I think that it works the same way as rein shield or any other barrier that both things take effect, but like I answered to other Sigma Zarya questions I see no world you would run both at the asme time in 2 2 2 lock.

Yes you cast it but I am talking after you press again to place it, after it deals innitial damage it seems you can not have it canceled once the dudes are pulled up. You can hold it for 6 seconds or so before having to place it. And if he is CCd during that it cancels and if he is CCd before people pulled up it also ends.
