Ramattra, arrived in Overwatch 2 with a vengeance and brought the full force of Null Sector with him.
The omnic tank is a menace on the battlefield. He can shield his teammates, strike from a distance with no fall-off, and dole out loads of damage up close.
Here are the best Ramattra counters in Overwatch 2.
Who are the best Ramattra counters in Overwatch 2?
Best tanks to play against Ramattra
Roadhog
Where Ramattra struggles with survivability, Roadhog flourishes. Since Ramattra is so reliant on his healers to be stay alive, we’ve found that Roadhog hard-counters him for his ability to either hook him away from his supports or pick his supports off and leave him hanging out to dry like yesterday’s laundry.
Roadhog’s newest ability, the Pig Pen trap, is also something that can hinder an aggressive Ramattra. When Ramattra is bulked up and using his fists to deal damage, he needs to stay mobile. Pig Pen will slow Ramattra’s movement and make things much harder for the robotic tank.
Orisa
We love using Orisa because she can bully Ramattra with her Javelin, and her Fortify ability nullifies Ramattra’s Ravenous Vortex, rendering her unable to be slowed. She’s a real pain in the neck for the Null Sector boss in several ways.
Best damage heroes to play against Ramattra
Bastion
The tank-shredder continues his nightmarish tear through the roster. We love that Bastion’s Assault configuration will melt Ramattra’s shield, but the length of his tank configuration ability will also outlast Ramattra’s Block ability while in Nemesis form. This is bad news for Ramattra.
Tracer
Since Ramattra doesn’t have much maneuverability, fast-moving heroes like Tracer can outmaneuver his primary fire. Ravenous Vortex is built to slow her down and bring airborne heroes to the ground, but Tracer is still able to blink away. Her escapability is also crucial for when he triggers Nemesis form.
Utilizing agile and quick DPS heroes to get behind Ramattra Block and abilities is vital. This makes agile flank heroes a great choice.
Symmetra
Symmetra’s primary fire rains hell on tanks, and Ramattra is no different. The beam gets stronger the longer it’s fired, and Ramattra’s Nemesis form hitbox is gigantic. As a result, Symmetra is able to deal incredible damage at a silly range as long as she maintains contact with the attack.
Pharah
Ramattra’s movement speed and lack of movement abilities make him an easy target for Pharah, who can also easily outmaneuver any shield that he throws up in her direction. We also love that she can dodge his primary fire and stay out of his range when he morphs, too.
Reaper
Reaper’s shotguns wreak havoc on most tanks in the game, and Ramattra is no exception. We love to counter him with Reaper because he can get up close to deal damage and use his movement abilities to get out of dodge when Ramattra transforms.
Best support heroes to play against Ramattra
Ana
The anti-heal nightmare continues. Ana’s Biotic Grenade is again a direct counter to Ramattra, as it is to everyone on the roster. Since he is so reliant on healing, the second he is anti-healed is the second it’s over for him. We also love to prevent him from taking her out with a well-placed sleep dart.
Kiriko
Kiriko’s Protection Suzu pots will negate the movement slowing of Ramattra’s Ravenous Vortex, rendering the ability obsolete when he’s trying to chase down slowed enemies for an easy kill. In our time as Ramattra, Kiriko has been a nightmare.
Zenyatta
Ramattra’s ultimate can be devastating, thanks to its constant AoE damage. A direct counter to this is Zenyatta’s Transcendence, not to mention his Discord orb will help shred through Ramattra’s health pool, even when in Nemesis mode.
While Zenyatta’s Transcendence can keep friends alive, you’ll want to do your best to either kill Ramattra or get your allies far from him. As long as Ramattra’s ult is dealing damage, it can last significantly longer than a Zenyatta’s Transcendence does.
Illari
When in his base form, Ramattra is fairly squishy for a tank. This means he’s susceptible to any characters capable of doing burst damage, which is where Illari fits the bill. Her primary fire can deal plenty of damage Ramattra after just a few well-placed headshots.
So, there you have it: Now get out there and utilize our best Ramattra counters in Overwatch 2.
