Ultimate Charge

[@videojenico]

About the "ultimates that can gain charge while being used", there are two more characters who can charge their ultimate while they use it, but it's pretty much useless. Reinhardt can charge his ultimate while using it as long as the hammer doesn't hit the ground, aka being in the air himself. Zarya also can charge her ultimate while using it as long as the graviton hasn't hit anything, like shooting it upwards. And baby Dva used to he able to do that too until it got patched recently due to its op usage in the OWL as Echo.

[@snewp_e2139]

The Reinhardt one can be a little useful if you firestrike a support just before your hammer hits the ground after activating earthshatter

[@Revid02]

The only video on my channel shows the zarya earning grav while the other is in mid-air

[@squeegel3904]

torb too. If you splooge one on the ground and the rest into the air, you get to gain ult charge once the first spoogle disappear. So the airborne ones are delayed and technically can help gain ult %.

[@tave6202]

@@Revid02 thumbs up cause for once a "my channel" comment was not clickbait.

[@Spockston]

I just want to say at 8:27 , Cree's roll with the UI transition is beautiful.

[@GundyrX]

This whole random presentation of data and how Professsional and beautiful it was done got a sub outta me. I love it!

[@Unfeatured]

2:17 I believe why Genji gets ult charge from deflecting Tactical Visor is because the bullets themselves don’t change. Visor is just an aimbot so the gun doesn’t change (except for it flicking quickly due to the aimbot nature of Visor but again that doesn’t change the gun itself other than its orientation) 3:58 I believe healing self inflicted damage used to grant ult charge from what I was told by friends. You’d run Zarya, rocket jump out of spawn, and have an Ana get some ult charge

[@ItsAllEnzynes]

I’m not sure if self damage ult charge was ever a thing. I remember a long period of time where people thought it did but it really didn’t

[@Unfeatured]

@@ItsAllEnzynes Looking into it through forum posts and reddit threads, I believe you're right. Time to yell at my friends!

[@pantuternik]

My hunch is that there are two ultimate-related checks for whether damage counts for gaining charge, one being if an ultimate is currently active, no charge for you and whether damage is caused by an ultimate. If Genji is not ulting, deflecting visor grants charge. If Genji is currently using Dragonblade, he gets nothing.

[@Unfeatured]

@@pantuternik I think it’s more of unless the ultimate changes their visuals, their primary fire is what give ult charge. Genji with blade changes his primary fire so he won’t get charge because he’s not using his primary fire. Same reason why Ashe and Ball get ult charge with their primary fires as their ultimates are active.

[@pantuternik]

@@Unfeatured That could be true. This makes me wonder if Hanzo during his Dragonstrike animation (before the dragons are released) can actually earn ultimate or not? Because if your theory is correct, that should be the case, same thing for right as Ashe calls down Bob, WB pressing the mines button etc.

[@gamesux420]

2:18 thats because soldiers ult doesnt actually do damage, it just makes you lock onto enemies, his attack is still just normal attack while reapers or mccrees ult damage is a unique attack that only the ultimate does. There is no soldier ult damage to deflect, only his normal attack which is seen as a normal attack rather than ultimate damage by the game.. because it is.

Truth

[@jolly_gman]

Agreed

facts

[@AL1CE_]

By far

[@BruscoTheBoar]

Just overtook KarQ

[@McMagicMarvOW]

I wouldn't say it is completely accurate to say you can't build ultimate during graviton. For example you can graviton directly in the air and you will be able to deal damage and build ultimate towards your next one. As soon as the grav lands and activates you won't be able to build ultimate cost any more until it finishes. The same concept works for Reinhardt ultimate when you fire strike and use earthshatter. If the fire strike hits enemies after you activate shatter but before the hammer hits the ground you will still get ultimate charge. You do see Zarya's alternate fire targets immediately before grav because they will still get ult charge while the graviton is moving through the air. Great video! Very informative.

[@Tuskbumper]

We got the graviton surge master here himself educating us.

[@Marblr]

wow, I never noticed that about Reinhardt. I just tried it and that is quite the small window of time to pull that off.

[@McMagicMarvOW]

@@Marblr Yeah you can only essential pull if off if the enemy are grouped in a small hallway or grav'd together. You used to be able to bhop shatter to extend casting time. You can also jump off somewhere high and ult making the time to land the shatter longer but that is pretty risky and pointless. Anyway these were just minor exceptions. Your videos are amazing quality!

[@RoseGoldKR]

While this is true, it’s not true that zaryas right click before grav to get extra ult charge, it’s done to add an additional right click animation cancel for free damage going into a grav. The extra ult charge is just a bonus (:

[@thewatcher9220]

@@RoseGoldKR that is situational. It can definitely be worth preserving ammo and waiting to right click until after the graviton surge pulls the enemy togethrt because you will get better splash damage.

[@mythicallag]

4:00 I love the Tf2 Reference, and the reason I enjoyed and sticker to your channel is that you are OW’s Shoudic (Tf2 Mechanics YTer) even though I don’t play OW. It’s just informing and entertaining

I was thinking the same! I really love TF2's mechanics and gameplay. But due to reasons, I switched to compete in Overwatch

[@NothingMeansNothingButNothing]

Thank you, I was trying to remember the name of the channel, I even thought it was literally him but with different channel for another audience

[@lyzder7298]

For an ultimate as impactful as EMP, the ult cost is surprisingly low, but I guess that's to balance Sombra's innate lower uptime

[@-NoNo.]

It’s because sombras effective range and game style leans to an assassin rather than a poke from range hero like soldier. Sombra does high burst of damage in ow2 but they aren’t as consistent as soldiers damage which is practically present at all times. This means sombra charges ult way slower even though she has a relatively low ult cost

[@realchiknuggets]

[@Arnoxke911]

awesome vid, little question, when you boop someone of the map and get a kill you gain an amount of ult charge but if the falling hero damages itself during its fall this ult charge is not gained. is the amount of charge gained equal to their health or just a general "elimination charge"

[@YazzPott]

All the remaining HP, if they had 10HP you get less, if you do ulting full HP Winston, you pretty much get s free ult

[@LordJazz]

@@YazzPott unless you're Lucio. Lucio has to boop off 8 hogs that are afflicted with sound barrier to get ult from 0

[@shaNk9x]

@@LordJazz It is indeed crazy how Lucio's ult is so costly when it's so mediocre / hard to get good value from. There's a reason it's been used as an offensive ultimate (extra protection when engaging) for ages rather than to survive other ultimates or combos.

[@Nickwilde7755]

@@shaNk9x Well yeah, but good Lucio’s will still have the ult up fast

[@SnoozeCruisin]

Yes, you gain an amount of charge equal to the health they had when they died. This means that if you boop a full health Roadhog into a pit, you’ll earn 600 points of ult charge immediately. (Side note: eliminations due to environmental damage are granted to whoever last dealt knockback to the victim. This means that if a victim can deal knockback to themselves, such as through Soldier rockets or Zarya grenades, they can prevent enemies from gaining ult charge since the death will be read as a suicide. This is also why you sometimes see Lucios rush in and boop or punch enemies that were already about to fall into pits so that they can receive the ult charge for that kill.)

For any new players : the reason roadhog got that passive is because he was known as a literal ult battery in overwatch 1 years ago. Tracers would just farm off him if they were confident they could dodge his hook to get a pulse bomb and then stick it on their backline. It was honestly more safe to assume tracer had pulse bomb at all times than to assume she didn’t if you had a roadhog being bullied

Honestly damaging Bob should yield _some_ ult charge. He is extremely strong (damage output and resistance). I think the same should be done for Torb's pesky turret, though it should yield less charge than Bob obviously

[@MaverickOW2]

Average plat take

[@Tuskbumper]

For all intents and purposes though, he's just a torb Level 3 turret that can capture objectives. So no he wouldn't provide ult charge, and shouldn't. Doesn't make much sense for the enemies to gain ult charge off my ult

@@Tuskbumper clearly you have never played winston before, hitting q is basically saying to the enemy team that youre ok with them earning a free 20% to their ult in exchange for your survival.

[@TimesplitPickle]

The production quality on these videos is off the charts.

[@Starkandco]

Another caveat on the hit/health values in ow2 if you're going to do it throughout a game - you have to keep track of the values when an ult is used, and if they're a hero who can gain ult charge during their ult or not. An ult can be held, so you might end up with higher healing/damage values during that time without gaining ult charge. Same for after use if not a hero whose ult allows charge
