The Pharah ult being so effective is surprising because Blizzard specifically used that exact scenario in the Ramattra trailer to show how his block could be used.
its only good right in his face, the rockets generally go off in different directions so unless you did it right in his face, it wont work. and when you ult that close up all he needs to do is walk towards you and you die. youre not going to be able to kill a blocking ramattra with barrage in general
it's point blank, so all the missiles hit him, what i found interesting is the splash damage is the thing that actually kills him. from what i see, if something with splash damage directly hits ramattra, the splash damage will actually come from the sides and back, so he can't block those, u can see it in tracers ult and the splash damage doing a ton of damage
@KuruttaTensai Doom can't block sleep dart either. It's dumb really since defensive abilities should block CC like sleep dart. Especially since it's Doom's ONLY defensive ability.
No, it's just that those two ults are the most powerful in the game in terms of raw damage. Barrage has the highest dps of any ult, while whole hog does the most damage over it's entire duration. They just have spread issues meaning you rarely get to see their full potential. Perhaps barrage did get some splash damage in, but it only mattered because it has so much damage already.
Pharah's ult is because it gives a maximum (if all the rockets hit it directly) of 1200 dps, which if you reduce the 75% (not counting armor reduction) of the block it will still give 300 dps, which is enough to kill him. Tracer's must be because the bomb sticks to him, what is no longer considered a projectile, therefore, it does not reduce damage. However the damage the bomb deals when thrown is reduced.
Fun Fact: AOE type damage still does full damage but if done in front of you it is then cut in half so in theory you don’t need to be behind him you just need to hit around him to deal full damage.
Thaks Jay! With this video I managed to find out that the maximum damage that can be reduced is around 85%, since if we add the armor and the ability reduction together, we would have 105% damage reduction, which would not make sense. In Mercy's part, we know that each shot of her does 20 damage, and if we watch it at minimum speed, we will realize that they are being reduced to 3,5 in the armor bar and 5 in normal life, which means around 85% in armor and and 75% in normal health.
I think that they did take away the 50% damage reduction by enemies during his ult was a good decision because combined with his block his ult would have been quite strong.
When Cass ults, I suggest not block right away. Some reason, block adds to hp meter for deadeye. Even if the skull appears while he's blocking, it won't kill
It’s crazy how many people don’t realize hogs ult potential considering his ult doesn’t have falloff just depends on how many pellets connect which is why Orisa fortify is a bad counter his ult can destroy sym wall
Pretty sure you can still block Pulse Bomb if its on the ground or a nearby teammate. It looks like sticking Ramattra bypasses his block though. I think Pulse Bomb still hits Zarya too if you stick her and she bubbles after but it's been a while since I've seen that interaction so I don't really remember.
Would rammatra be better if his punches, and ultimate beams gave him life steal to some degree? Edit: That way he has more incentive to not be a block bot, and actually be a little aggressive.
No. His ult weakness is killing him right away, making him block to allow the enemy to escape. Giving him life steal will allow him to keep going after the enemy team. If they add life steal, then his ult timer gonna be changed
What’s odd is that when u get slammed to the ground by sigma’s grav flux,u have look updwards when u block so u get the dmg reduction.It’s stupid ik but it idk it js works like that
@@colewlrd1317 Pfff only reaper? There's so many options I feel like Im getting ragdolled every fight even with my healer pouring every ounce of heals into me
It's his only survival tool and he still ends up getting shredded anyways It only blocks from the front so half the time you get crushed from someone flanking you cuz you also have to block frontal damage
I've seen a video about the blocking damage for sigma ult, basically you look up instead of looking directly at him. This always applies to Doomfists block

Truly a blizzard moment

@@slavchems4759 yea i noticed that to even junkrats grenades go through his shield idk know if that's a glitch or intentional though
Her ult also does 1200 DPS soooo
Ramatra an block a nuke but not a sleep dart.
hahaha it's really stupid
Honestly he definitely shouldn't be able to block dart.
@@nicholassunderbruch7131 yea. In game perspective. But in lore, naah bruh xd
Somewhat unrelated but can Doom Block Dart and if so why can't Ramattra?
@KuruttaTensai Doom can't block sleep dart either. It's dumb really since defensive abilities should block CC like sleep dart. Especially since it's Doom's ONLY defensive ability.
Ramattra can block gravity flux, you just have to look up when he does his ult
Ramattra vs a nuke: 😁
ramattra vs a gun that shoots trash: 😵
Yea we can't have anymore counters to the 700 hp self healing dps
@@gabrielchaney1577 You forgot 1 shot before dps 🤓
You wouldnt get full damage in a real game tho
There has to be something Sigma is better at than Ram
@@michaelb9537 burst damage, sigma have a one shot combo and his ult can kill 2-3 people easily, apart from that, not really.
Everyone knows the best way to handle a slow moving health bar is rapid chip damage, that's why whole hog and barrage both did so well
You know what’s funny in the rammatra trailer it showed him actually just eat an entire barrage
Bad math
I think it's a bug and the splash damage registered from behind. But yeah whole hog and bastion turret form should work decently well.
No, it's just that those two ults are the most powerful in the game in terms of raw damage. Barrage has the highest dps of any ult, while whole hog does the most damage over it's entire duration. They just have spread issues meaning you rarely get to see their full potential. Perhaps barrage did get some splash damage in, but it only mattered because it has so much damage already.
Wow hog ult still absolutely destroys rammatra while blocking I think this calls for a genji nerf
Nah this calls for a Mercy nerf
Nah give mercy some more bullets
*Sojourn “nerf”
no one ever gets the chance to hog ult that close into a corner..
@@ethankang4068 had it happen plenty of times lmfao
Mei's ult lowkey could counter Ramattra's ult pretty well
mei tracer might be reasonable
@@DyingBreed8 mei phara
It would’ve been cool to see turret form Bastion against Ramattra’s block too, imo.
It would be the same as Rocket Barrage and Whole Hog
Symettra ult can cut off line of sight to cancel ramattras ult
Seems the explosive ults (pharah and tracer) deal a lot of damage. Maybe because they are also hitting Ramattra from behind.
Pharah's ult is because it gives a maximum (if all the rockets hit it directly) of 1200 dps, which if you reduce the 75% (not counting armor reduction) of the block it will still give 300 dps, which is enough to kill him. Tracer's must be because the bomb sticks to him, what is no longer considered a projectile, therefore, it does not reduce damage. However the damage the bomb deals when thrown is reduced.
@@chateau_guillard Phara is just to broken rn...like she gets her ult sooooo fast, like in 5 primary hits, and it does sooo much damage....
@@Chutte_Mi trueee
@@Chutte_Mi That was a bug which they fixed
Her ult charge was apparently 31% lower than it should of been
@@Chutte_Mi pharah is not op lol
“Nerf thi-“
Rammatra: “NeRf ThIs.”

Would be super cool if ramattra during blizzard froze in the blocking form!
it matters not if you have that much damage reduction if your support cannot heal
Symmetra ult still blocks Rammatra ult from crossing it though. I know it doesn't cause damage, but it still has an interaction.
For Sigma ult, use ur block and look up
Tracer’s ult can be blocked if it’s thrown in front of Ramattra, if it’s thrown onto him then it’ll do the full damage.
I think that they did take away the 50% damage reduction by enemies during his ult was a good decision because combined with his block his ult would have been quite strong.
Probably he didn't have block and had that 50% reduction instead during his development i'm guessing.
Finally we can actually say "Wow it seems Pharaf is effective this calls for a Pharah nerf"
Idk if it's intended or not, but you can actually block sigma's ult by looking directly upwards while blocking
One of life's greatest mysteries:
How do you suck a robot
2:31 it looks like the mines are doing full dmg somehow?
It seems that "contact" explosives like ball mines or tracer bomb dont get reduced.
@@mechanicalsilence1 which is odd bc ball mines can be reduced by block. Been blocking to clear away ball mines and always reduced the damage.
Sigmas ult can actually be mitigated if you look up whilst getting slammed to the ground
That is the power power of gym
look up to block sig ult works with doom aswell
for ana ult you coulda had her nano a teammate then have the teammate shoot ram throughout the nano's duration
I have blocked a phara ult before, did say the problem was having the wall behind you that the missiles hit, leading to splash damage behind you.
Would like to see Roadhog + Kiriko ult
The mines can be reduced, you just didnt exactly do it right
But some of them were actually reduced
wow that tracer bomb is strong. the extra 1 dmg makes her very strong rn in this meta.
nerf genji.
When Cass ults, I suggest not block right away. Some reason, block adds to hp meter for deadeye. Even if the skull appears while he's blocking, it won't kill
It’s crazy how many people don’t realize hogs ult potential considering his ult doesn’t have falloff just depends on how many pellets connect which is why Orisa fortify is a bad counter his ult can destroy sym wall
Item 2 bombs that stick (tracer ult,Cassidy,and echo) do full damage upon stick they have to land in front of them to be blocked
You have to look directly up to block damage from sigmas ult
I'm pretty sure you can block a portion of sigs ult as doom and ramatra if you look up. I might be wrong, though. So take it with a grain of salt.
Since time in memoriam, when Hanzo ults, you get tf outta the way. This is huge
Pretty sure you can still block Pulse Bomb if its on the ground or a nearby teammate. It looks like sticking Ramattra bypasses his block though.
I think Pulse Bomb still hits Zarya too if you stick her and she bubbles after but it's been a while since I've seen that interaction so I don't really remember.
Stick bypasses on the floor or others is blockable
I know from experience
Zarya can bubble pulse
Zarya can bubble pulse even if she gets stickied. I know as a Zarya main.
You can actually block sigma ult damage with looking up
If I recall, look UP when blocking sigs ult.
Sigma Ult can actually be blocked if u look straight up. Don't ask why, we don't know either
Ramattra can block the damage from Sigma's ult if he looks up
When Sigma does his super you have to block upwards.
Ramattra ult reduced damage dealt by 50% though so you would take less damage
Devs said that there is no damage reduction in the release version
No it was a written error
It doesn't reduce anything
if you looks up in sig ult you can block it (with both doom and ramttra)
with a lot of the explosion ults you have to make sure you don’t take colisión damage from behind
Bruh, i clicked on the video and an ow add imediatly poped up
you need to look up to block sigma's ult damage,
i mean, it works with doom's block, i think its the same thing and yes, its look like a bug
You can block the sigma ult by looking up btw
Would rammatra be better if his punches, and ultimate beams gave him life steal to some degree?
Edit: That way he has more incentive to not be a block bot, and actually be a little aggressive.
Dunno. That sounds like a more op moira.
No. His ult weakness is killing him right away, making him block to allow the enemy to escape. Giving him life steal will allow him to keep going after the enemy team.
If they add life steal, then his ult timer gonna be changed
Love the content good to know this when u come against a ramattra in comp soon:)
What’s odd is that when u get slammed to the ground by sigma’s grav flux,u have look updwards when u block so u get the dmg reduction.It’s stupid ik but it idk it js works like that
Something tells me this block will be nerfed soon....
Nah it's his only survival tool in nemesis and he still gets shredded anyways
Just bring reaper, he just dies in every battle
@@colewlrd1317 Pfff only reaper?
There's so many options I feel like Im getting ragdolled every fight even with my healer pouring every ounce of heals into me
Jay3 😂 Im surprised you didn't say "Support btw" at baptiste ultimate XD.
Rammatra does block Torb ult btw
You have to look up to block Gru (Sigma) ult
if you look up against sigs slam while blocking it does basically no damage
You can still block a sigma ult as ramatra by looking up (I think it’s a bug)
for sig ult, try looking up. Doom can block that
1:54 I believe I’ve seen clips of people blocking sig ult by looking up, possibly a bug or troll but idk
about the sigma's ult, u have to look up, then he will reduce damage, idk if it is a bug or not
You can block Sigma ult by looking up
"How do you suck a robot though?"
- Jay3
Ramattra and Doom can both block sigma ulti if you look straight up
You are legit the best overwatch UA-camr
He can block a nuke but still gets blown away from road hogs ult I hate that.
I used a nano, kistsune rush, bastion turret against him on rialto... his health went down by 1 per shot and went down 200 total
Try looking up with the Block When Sigma ults
If you block while looking up on sig’s ult it does less
jay you should do a GM against silvers and golds but GMs can't use ULts
I just realized he sounds like a loader bot from borderland when he takes damage
Btw idk if u saw after this test jay but if u look up when sig ults and block it blocks the dmg from his flux 😂
Actually. If you look up during sigma ult. It blocks it.
i’m pretty sure you have to look up with sigma flux and block
I think if you look up when zigma slams you actually block
He can block sig ult if he looks up
so looks like multi shot and explosives hit through the block at least quite a bit
4:35 wtf? I swear in a trailer they show ramatra blocking a ult from phara
Ramattra his block is so Op
It's his only survival tool and he still ends up getting shredded anyways
It only blocks from the front so half the time you get crushed from someone flanking you cuz you also have to block frontal damage
I think that ramattra only can tank bullets and melee damage the other stuff still does equal damage like rockets and granades
2:25 LOL that is 110 damage sir
I've seen a video about the blocking damage for sigma ult, basically you look up instead of looking directly at him. This always applies to Doomfists block
Explosion damage isn’t affected by block
Ramattra strat if u hear: "its High noon" run to the Cassidy and block him with ur face he Will not be Able to kill Anybody.
If you block and look up during sigmas ult, it does less damage--
so the trailer lie?.....Rammy can't take justice rain from above lololol
You have to look up to better tank Sigma’s ult
And this was before his new buffs to his armour health gain :/
There seems to be… inconsistencies.
To block sigma ult u need to look up
Just remember these alts will do alot more damage if your not facing them.ex( a junk tire from above will deal
i would make his karthus ability just slow, but a slow like mei.
9:05 "How do you suck a robot tho" 💀
My favorite tank by far I already got 10 hours on him and I plan on many more
You can block sigma flux, you just have to look up for some reason
Man really said Ki-ri-ko
So if Ram is meta, Tracer will be meta too. Can shoot from behind and the pulse bomb destroys him.
Ramattra nemesis form block interactions
When sigma ults you then look up and Block. It will block
Sombra's EMP should disable Ramattra's block...
Doesnt Ramatras ULT make the tethered enemy do less damage? the whole hog was tethered is why i mention/ask.
actually on a few you have them tethered..
No
Was an error on the written part that was taken out shortly after
It would be kinda cool if I'd did now tho
