How to counter Sojourn
The best counters for Sojourn are:
- Zarya
- Winston
- Lúcio
- Orisa
- Widowmaker
Zarya can take advantage of the Sojourn attacks, which is a great option. Sojourn specializes in firepower, which can easily be countered by her Bubbles, which can also convert the damage to increased damage output.
Winston’s high mobility with the Leap ability combined with his efficiency in taking high amounts of damage makes him a good counter for Sojourn.
Lúcio has fantastic speed, which he can use to stay hidden from Sojourn and attack her from behind. Apart from that, Lúcio prowess in healing can also prove to be a good counter to Sojourn’s high damage output.
Orisa possesses a spear that can take out Sojourn pretty quickly.
Widowmaker possesses a deadly accurate sniper that can deal insane amounts of damage, ending Sojourn with a single well-placed shot to the head.
How to counter Junker Queen
The best counters for the Junker Queen are:
- Bastion
- Mei
- Zenyatta
- Wrecking Ball
- Orisa
Bastion specializes in firepower and can deal huge amounts of damage in Tank Mode, ending the Junker Queen regardless of whether she’s healing or not.
Mei can come in handy against the Junker Queen’s shotgun blats with her ability to Cryo-Free. Moreover, she can also hinder and slow down the Junker Queen with her trusty Endothermic Blaster.
Zenyatta can greatly impair the Junker Queen with his Orb of Discord, provided that it’s used wisely and from cover.
Wrecking Ball works by creating a disturbance in the Junker Queen team and taking advantage of her long cooldown time.
Orisa possesses an Energy Javelin that can not only use to stun the Queen but also displace her.
How to counter Kiriko
The best counters for Kiriko are:
- Widowmaker
- Sojourn
- Tracer
- Sombra
Any hero that can hit the target at a range in a small area is the best counter to her. She cannot target them correctly, and you will always have the upper hand on her.
Widowmaker makes a great counter for Kiriko since she’s also a long-ranged fighter. She can use her high-damage output sniper to end Kiriko in an instant, preventing Kiriko from teleporting away or using the Protection Suzu.
Sojourn can take advantage of her alt-fire beam to deal loads of Burst damage in a short time, ending Kiriko before she has the time to teleport.
Tracer possesses great speed. She can easily flank the enemy team and attack Kiriko when she’s off-guard. Even if Kiriko does manage to teleport away, Tracer can easily chase her down wither high mobility, or escape the shootout if needed.
Sombra can counter Kiriko in a similar way to Tracer. She can flank the enemy team to attack Kiriko from the back, and run away or chase her down when needed.
How to counter D.Va
The best counters for D.Va are:
- Zarya
- Sombra
- Junkrat
- Roadhog
All heroes with beam weapons are a good counter against D.Va. You can use any of the heroes mentioned above since her Defense Matrix cannot absorb beam weapon attacks.
Zarya can make a great counter to D.Va with her protective Barriers, which can’t even be affected by her Ult. Moreover, Zarya’s Beam is also unblockable by D.Va and will affect her greatly.
Sombra, although not possessing enough firepower to finish off D.Va on her own, can hack her with ease. This can make D.Va immobile and defenseless, allowing Sombra’s allies to finish her off with ease.
Roadhog possesses skill in dealing loads of damage at close range. High damage combined with the help of his hook, allows Roadhog to finish off D.Va easily.
Junkrat can hinder D.Va’s movement with his Steal Trap, making her a sitting duck to be gunned down.
How to counter Orisa
The best counters for Orisa are:
- Winston
- Junkrat
- Zenyatta
- Reaper
Winston has great mobility and can easily flank the enemy. Although he can’t take Orisa head-on, he can use his speed to keep her occupied while his teammates deal the damage.
Junkrat has a lot of good abilities to counter Tanks like Orisa. He can use his grenades and mines to constantly deal massive damage to Orisa and her healers at the same time.
Zenyatta can take advantage of Orisa’s short-range damage limitation to take her down. He can attack Orisa from afar and use his Orb of Discord to negate her Fortify ability.
Reaper is the main man when it comes to ending Tanks, though he does struggle a bit with Orisa. For the Reaper, his primary fire or his Ultimate should be enough to take down Orisa if used correctly.
How to counter Reinhardt
The best counters for Reinhardt are:
- Bastion
- Reaper
- Junkrat
- Pharah
Bastion specializes in dealing massive damage in a short time. With such high damage, he can easily tear down Reinhardt’s barriers to finish him off.
Reaper can use his teleport ability by teleporting behind Reinhardt’s barrier, rendering it useless. Although struggling a bit in terms of firepower to finish Reinhardt off, he can distract him from pushing.
Junkrat possesses all the necessary tools to stop Reinhardt. He can easily destroy his barriers and use his Steel Traps and Mines to deal damage to Reinhardt.
Pharah is the ultimate counter to Reinhardt, as all his abilities are useless against her. She can easily tear down Reinhardt’s barriers along with himself using her splash damage rockets.
How to counter Roadhog
The best counters to Roadhog are:
- Ana
- Zarya
- Reaper
- Widowmaker
Ana is the ideal hero when it comes to countering Reaper. She might not deal well with his hook but can easily finish Reaper off from long range.
Zarya is a tank and is hence best used against Roadhog’s hook. Mainly due to his huge hitbox, Roadhog can be easily dealt with by Zarya. Moreover, thanks to Zarya’s bubbles, his damage is also amplified with the continuous shotgun blasts.
Reaper, although similar to Roadhog in many ways, gets the upper hand against him due to his teleportation ability and Wraith Form.
Widowmaker can also prove to be an excellent counter to Roadhog with her prowess in long-range combat. Roadhog is a large guy with a pretty big head, making it very easy to land a headshot with Widowmaker’s deadly sniper.
How to counter Sigma
The best counters for Sigma are:
- Reinhardt
- Genji
- Orisa
- Reaper
Reinhardt is a good counter to Sigma since he can render nearly all of his abilities useless, including her Hyperspheres and Barriers. Sigma, on the other hand, has no real upper hand on Reinhardt.
Genji can bypass Sigma’s Barriers to land a few hits as well. Moreover, due to his fine mobility, he makes a hard target for Sigma to hit with his Hyperspheres
Orisa can absorb a lot of damage from Sigma with her Javelin Spin and Fortify abilities. Moreover, she can also push Sigma back from his barrier with ease.
Reaper can also jump behind Sigma’s barriers, for a surprise attack. If, whenever pinned down by Sigma though, Reaper can still fight for a long time as his healing abilities are much greater for Sigma to counter.
How to counter Winston
The best counters for Winston are:
- Ana
- Roadhog
- Junkrat
Ana possesses a single tool to counter Winston, and that’s the only thing she needs. She can use her Sleeping Dart to disable Winston temporarily whenever attacked or if he starts to use his Ult.
Roadhog can easily take Winston down in close-range combat with his shotgun blasts. Moreover, he can also use his hook to knock Winston out of place if he ever flanks your team.
Junkrat can also easily take Winston down with his mines and grenades because Winstone can’t heal himself, nor does he have extra armor.
How to counter Wrecking Ball
The best counter for Wrecking Ball are:
- Reaper
- Pharah
- Sombra
- Bastion
Pharah can use her superior mobility and her high vantage points to make her rockets rain over Wrecking Ball. This is a great counter to Wrecking Ball since it can’t do anything about it.
Sombra can easily hack Wrecking Ball to immobilize it and leave it defenseless.
Reaper can use his close-quarter-combat prowess to overpower Wrecking Ball. Wrecking Ball is also a close-range fighter, but he’s no match when it comes to Reaper’s shotgun blasts.
Bastion is the ultimate counter to Wrecking Ball. In his Tank phase, there’s no stopping Bastion, neither in close quarters nor in long quarters.
How to counter Zarya
The best counters for Zarya are:
- Sombra
- Pharah
- Bastion
- Zenyatta
- Genji
Sombra can use her hack on Zarya, immobilizing her and preventing her from using her Bubbles. This is a good counter since Zarya’s main go-to for either defense or offense is her Bubbles, without which she’s pretty much useless.
Pharah can easily take down Zarya since she specializes in dealing damage from long range if she doesn’t charge her Bubble.
Bastion can easily take Zarya down with his extreme firepower. Regardless of whether Zarya’s using her Bubbles or not, Bastion can finish her off with ease in his Tank Mode.
Zenyatta can use his prowess in long-range combat to take Zarya down. Zarya’s primary fire can’t reach Zenyatta if he maintains some distance, but he does need to be wary of her alt-fire. Moreover, Zenyatta’s ult can also be used to counter her Gravitation Surge.
You can even use Genji to deflect the surging attack and turn it into a utility for his team to use.
How to counter Ashe
The best counters for Ashe are:
- Widowmaker
- Tracer
- Reinhardt
- Hanzo
- Sombra
Widowmaker can use her deadly sniper to finish off Ashe with ease.
Tracer can use his superior mobility to move around Ashe and deal constant damage to her, taking advantage of her slow speed. Moreover, he can easily flank the enemy for an easy put-down.
Reinhardt can use his charge to easily take care of Ashe. Furthermore, his Barriers can not only be used to provide cover for himself but his entire team.
Hanzo can also deal well with Ashe with his Sonic Arrows. These are best used when Ashe doesn’t have any cover to hide behind.
Sombra hack ability can disable the B.O.B attacks of the Ashe. Once this attack is disabled, you can kill her in no time.
How to counter Bastion
The best counters for Bastion are:
- Junkrat
- Roadhog
- Reaper
- Ana
- Roadhog
Junkrat is a great hero to pick when it comes to countering Bastion since he’s an expert in dealing damage from behind cover. He can easily avoid Bastion’s fire while still dealing damage with his grenades, ending it with ease.
Roadhog can easily deal with Bastion at close range. The only thing Roadhog needs to do is get his hook in contact with Bastion and it’s done for.
Reaper can also deal with Bastion in the same way. When it comes to a close quarter 1v1 with Bastion and Reaper, there’s no beating Reaper as long as he gets the first shot in.
Ana can use her trusty Sleep Dart to tranquilize Bastion. This is most useful when it’s about to enter tank mode. If Ana can get the drop on it soon enough, it can give teammates enough time to deal the damage that they need.
If you go with Roadhog, its hook can hold onto Bastion for a long time and allow you to take him out.
How to counter Doomfist
The best counters for Doomfist are:
- Pharah
- Reaper
- Echo
- Genji
Pharah can be a great counter to Doomfist with her superior vision and vintage points. She can remain out of Doomfist’s range and deal damage to him from above. Moreover, Doomfist’s ultimate is also useless against Pharah because she can avoid it with her flight.
Reaper can easily take Doomfist down with his expertise in close-range combat. Moreover, his ability to heal himself can really be a problem for Doomfist.
Echo is also a counter similar to Pharah in most cases. All Echo needs to do is stay out of Doomfist’s range and rain hell on him from above.
Genji is also a similar counter. He can use his superior mobility to counter all of Doomfist’s abilities while still dealing damage to him. Moreover, he can use Deflect to dodge his primary fire.
How to counter Echo
The best counters for Echo are:
- Sombra
- Hanzo
- Sojourn
- Widowmaker
Sombra can easily hack Echo and immobilize her, preventing her from using her abilities, and leaving her defenseless and an easy target for allies.
Hanzo is also effective at taking down Echo. He can easily finish off Echo with a shot to the head or to shots to the body.
Sojourn can deal with Echo pretty easily when it comes to close-quarter combat. Her quick-fire and damage output are just too much for Echo to handle. Moreover, her hitscan beam can easily take Echo down from the sky.
Widowmaker serves as a good counter for Echo since she can take her out from anywhere with a single headshot using her hitscan shots.
How to counter Genji
The best counters for Genji are:
- Zarya
- Ana
- Pharah
- Brigitte
Zarya’s main counter against Genji is her Bubbles. She can use them during Genji’s Ult to protect her or her teammates.
Ana can also counter Genji’s Ult with her Sleeping Dart. Though it might be hard to land a dart during his Ult, if timed correctly during the cooldown, Genjo can be immobilized with her dart.
Pharah is good at staying out of Genji’s effective range and dealing damage to him from above. Even if he’s deflecting the shots, shooting down on the ground next to him still does the job.
Brigitte is effective against Genji from long ranges. Her melee attacks and Whip Shots allow Brigitte to keep Genji at bay. Moreover, Brigitte’s shield also protects her from Genji’s attacks effectively.
How to counter Hanzo
The best counters for Hanzo are:
- Winston
- Widowmaker
- Va
- Genji
Winston can take advantage of his superior mobility and Leap onto Hanzo to finish him off. Hanzo just doesn’t pack enough damage or has any speed to counter this attack.
Widowmaker can easily counter Hanzo since she has a longer range than him. Her sniper is far superior to Hanzo’s arrows, making her win the battle inevitable at long range.
Genji is faster than Hanzo and can get the drop on him easily. Moreover, he can use Deflect to dodge his primary attack and Storm Arrows.
D.Va can use her sheer power to push up on Hanzo and deal massive amounts of damage, finishing him off fairly quickly. Furthermore, she can also use the Defense Matrix to absorb Hanzo’s attacks.
How to counter Junkrat
The best counters for Junkrat are:
- Pharah
- D.Va
- Kiriko
- Echo
Pharah can take advantage of her superior mobility to stay out of Junkrat’s effective range and deal damage from above, ending him with ease.
D.Va is an excellent pick when it comes to dealing with Junkrat’s as her defense matrix can easily help your team in getting through the tight choke points that Junkrat is spamming.
Kiriko can use her Protection Suzu as a perfect counter to Junkrat’s Ult. Moreover, she can attack enemies from the backlines with her superior mobility. Up close, she does hold the potential to finish off Junkrat with the right amount of headshots.
Echo not only has the mobility but also the power to finish off Junkrat easily. She can attack while airborne as well, and even if she doesn’t, she can still kill a Junkrat without breaking a sweat.
How to counter Cassidy
The best counters for Cassidy are:
- Winston
- Tracer
- Widowmaker
- Baptiste
- Genji
Winston can tear apart Cassidy in an instant. All he needs to do is to get close to him, his high-damage output will do the rest.
Widowmaker can fight at a larger range than Cassidy, and hence has the upper hand in a sniper fight. If far enough, the Widowmaker can finish off Cassidy with no trouble.
Tracer can take advantage of her superior mobility and fire rate at close range. Besides avoiding his alt-fire, all she needs to do is to get close to Cassidy to take him down.
Baptiste’s Immortality Field is the only counter he needs for Cassidy. This will not only be a problem for his low fire rate, but it will also act as a shield against his Deadeye Ultimate.
Genji can completely defect the High Noon ultimate attack of Cassidy that can kill him instantly.
How to counter Mei
The best counters for Mei are:
- Sombra
- Pharah
- Soldier: 76
- Widowmaker
Sombra can use a Hack on Mei to immobilize her and prevent her from saving herself using the Cryo-Freeze ability. Although she might struggle to handle Mei alone at close range, it’s easy to take her out with the help of an ally.
Pharah is a great counter against Mei since her Walls have no effect on her. Moreover, she also has enough mobility to stay out of Mei’s range and attack her from all sides.
Soldier: 76 is an excellent counter to Mei if he stays out of her effective range. All he needs to do is keep gunning her down from afar.
Widowmaker possesses the damage potential she needs to finish Mei off with a single hit. Mei can prevent this by using her wall though, but all the Widowmaker needs to do is keep at range and wait for a good shot.
How to counter Pharah
The best counters for Pharah are:
- Soldier: 76
- Mercy
- Hanzo
- Sojourn
- Widowmaker
Soldier: 76 can use his hit scan weapon to deal massive amounts of damage to Pharah, especially when she’s on the move. Moreover, he can use his sprint to escape danger when Pharah fires back.
Mercy is a great counter for Pharah. In terms of support, she can pocket her DPS easily making sure that you can finish off Pharah and also avoid her rocket splash damage as well.
Hanzo is also a pretty great counter to Pharah at longer ranges. Hanzo just needs to land a headshot to finish Pharah off.
Sojourn, like Soldier: 76, also has a hit scan weapon which she can use to gun to Pharah while she’s in the air.
Widowmaker possesses the deadliest sniper ever, and Pharah is no match for her especially when she’s in the air. All the Widowmaker needs is a well-placed shot to the head to send Pharah home.
How to counter Reaper
The best counters for Reaper are:
- D.Va
- Pharah
- Echo
- Sigma
- Widowmaker
D.Va is an amazing counter against Reaper. The reason is that she can easily deny him high grounds and block him from killing your teammates as well.
Pharah can take advantage of her flight against Reaper, who mainly fights at close range. She can use her rockets while in the air to finish off Reaper in seconds.
Echo is a good counter to Reaper. She can also fly out of Reaper’s effective range and deal damage to him from the air. There is not much a Reaper can do against Echo, even with his healing abilities.
Sigma is another good counter for Reaper as well. He can use his rock to deny Reaper’s space and force out his defensive cooldown. Moreover, he is also able to survive pretty much all of Reaper’s damage.
Widowmaker has the damage output that can put down a Reaper with a single shot. All she needs to do is be wary of Reaper’s teleportation and wait for a clean shot.
How to counter Soldier: 76
The best counters for Soldier: 76 are:
- Winston
- Genji
- Roadhog
- Sigma
Winston can use the Leap ability to latch onto Soldier: 76 and finish him off soon after. There’s not much a Soldier: 76 can do against Winston even with his Biotic Field, as he can get knocked out of it.
Genji can use Soldier: 76’s own attacks against him by reflecting back his rockets and bullets. This can deal a lot of damage to him.
Roadhog has no problem absorbing any amount of damage thrown at him by Soldier: 76. To send Solder:76 back to his spawn point, all Roadhog needs to do is land a hook followed by a shotgun blast.
Sigma can not only defend against Soldier: 76’s attacks, but also finish him off quickly. He can nullify Soldier: 76’s attacks using his Kinetic Grasp and Barrier and can also kill him easily with an Accretion and a few hits from his Hyperspheres.
How to counter Sombra
The best counters for Sombra are:
- Widowmaker
- Va
- Junkrat
- Hanzo
- Tracer
Widowmaker is equally matched with Sombra in terms of countering one another. However, if a Widowmaker manages to get a good shot, she can kill Sombra with a single shot.
D.Va is a good choice against Sombra. She can easily decloak Sombra with her primary fire by just randomly spamming around the map.
Junkrat possesses the damage potential needed to finish Sombra off in an instant. He can use his grenades and mines to really wear down Sombra and then kill her with one or two hits. Moreover, he can also use his Steel Trap to catch a Sombra that’s trying to flank.
Hanzo has a Sonic Arrow attack that can reveal Sombra if you manage to land it near her. Moreover, he can send her home in an instant with his high-burst damage
Tracer is also equally matched with Sombra in most cases. All she needs to do is to stay safe from Sombra’s hacks. If she manages to do that, she can use her abilities to get the upper hand on Sombra.
How to counter Symmetra
The best counters for Symmetra are:
- Reinhardt
- Junker Queen
- Tracer
- Pharah
Reinhardt, being a tank hero can be used to deal with Symmetra. He is the best pick when it comes to countering her since he can overrun her easily and beat her without coming into her range.
The Junker Queen can counter Symmetra in close-quarter combat. Her high firing rate packed with a high damage potential, along with the ability to heal, really makes it hard for Symmetra to put up a good fight.
Since Symmetra is deadly when confronted head-on, Tracer can turn out to be the optimum pick against her. She just needs to stay out of her range and then use her abilities to deal damage on Symmetra.
Pharah’s superior mobility allows her to stay out of Symmetra’s beam range. Moreover, while in the air, she can fire rockets at Symmetra and her Turrets to take them out.
How to counter Torbjorn
The best counters for Torbjorn are:
- Widowmaker
- Ana
- Echo
- Pharah
- Sombra
Widowmaker has the damage potential needed to finish off Torbjorn in a single hit. This is fairly a simple job since Torbjorn doesn’t have enough mobility to escape her shots.
Ana can use her trusty Sleeping Dart to effectively fight back against Torbjorn and save her teammates when he’s Overloaded.
Echo possesses the mobility and the damage potential to put down Torbjorn with ease. All she needs to do is to steer clear of his Auto-aiming turrets and get close enough to land some hits.
Pharah has the mobility she needs to get the upper hand on Torbjorn. She’s an excellent counter for him as she can deal damage to him and his turrets from well beyond the effective range with her rockets.
Sombra is another excellent counter against him since he can disable the Torbjorn turret for a short time.
How to counter Tracer
The best counters for Tracer are:
- Roadhog
- Pharah
- Winston
- Torbjorn
Roadhog is an excellent counter for Tracer. He can use his abilities to burst down Tracer. Just make sure that you stay out of her range and that way you can capitalize on your damage as well.
Pharah has the ability to fly, and she can use it to get a better idea of Tracer’s movements. She can then use her rockets to finish her off.
Winston is pretty effective in taking down a Tracer as he has both the firepower and the mobility to do so. All he needs to do is to be wary of flanks, and when he does find Tracer, use the Leap, and finish her off.
Torbjorn, while not having any potential to take down Tracer by himself, does have Auto-aiming turrets that can track Tracer down effectively.
How to counter Widowmaker
The best counters for Widowmaker are:
- Winston
- Sojourn
- Wrecking Ball
Winstone is a highly effective counter to Widowmaker as he can catch her off-guard with a Leap and finish her off quickly. Even if she does manage to flee from the leap, it can be followed by another one to make her death a sure thing. Moreover, he can also tank her snipes and auto-fire.
Sojourn, although vulnerable at longer ranges, puts up a good fight against a Widowmaker at mid-ranges using her beams and primary fore.
Wrecking Ball can also tank most of the damage that a Widowmaker bestows. Moreover, he has good mobility and can easily reach the Widowmaker, finishing her off in close-quarter combat.
How to counter Ana
The best counters for Ana are:
- Kiriko
- Tracer
- Va
- Junker Queen
Kiriko is an excellent counter for Ana. She can use her 120 damage headshots alongside her cleansing ability to remove the ante from Anna’s anti-grenades.
Tracer, with her good mobility, can easily flank enemies and close the distance between her and Ana for a close-quarter fight.
D.Va can tank most of Ana’s shots while closing the distance, forcing her into close-quarter combat where she can’t do much against her massive firepower.
Junker Queen can also tank most of Ana’s shots but her specialty in countering Ana lies in her Ult, which prevents Ana from healing her teammates.
How to counter Baptiste
The best counters for Baptiste are:
- Genji
- Hanzo
- D.Va
- Roadhog
Genji’s superior mobility and ability to deflect shots grant him the upper hand versus Baptiste. He can easily dodge his attacks, even with Baptiste’s hitscan.
Hanzo can fight with Baptiste at any given range due to his burst damage potential. This also helps him counter Baptiste’s healing abilities.
D.Va can tank almost all of Baptiste’s shots and can annihilate him at any range. The only counter Baptiste has against her is her Ult, which is still worthless as it reduces their teammate’s health to 1HP.
Roadhog can end Baptiste with just a single shot from his shotgun. Moreover, he can also use his hook to knock Baptiste back from his Immortality Field.
How to counter Brigitte
The best counters for Brigitte are:
- Junkrat
- Pharah
- Bastion
- Hanzo
Junkrat has all the tools needed to deal with any tank in the game, even Brigitte. He can take advantage of Brigette’s slow speed and use mines and grenades to finish her off.
Pharah can counter Brigitte with her flight ability to stay out of her effective range. She can fire rockets onto the ground near Brigitte to deal massive splash damage, even beyond her barrier.
Bastion can deal with Brigitte at any range in his tank mode. With such sheer firepower, Bastion can ear through her barriers and end her with ease, even at longer ranges.
Hanzo also takes the upper hand in fighting at longer ranges. He can fire his arrows at Brigitte from afar wearing down her shields and her HP, leaving her with no choice but to retreat or die.
How to counter Lúcio
The best counters for Lúcio are:
- Torbjorn
- Moira
- Pharah
- Bastion
Torbjorn can use his high damage potential and his turrets to blast down on Lúcio. This can easily take Lúcio even with his healing abilities.
Moira can use her alt-fire to lock onto Lúcio, slowing dealing damage to him while also healing herself in the process.
Pharah has far greater mobility than Lúcio with her high vantage points, from where Lúcio’s movements don’t seem as fast. She can then use her rockets from above to target and take him down.
Baston’s sheer amount of power in Tank Mode is enough on its own to put down Lúcio in seconds, despite his healing abilities.
How to counter Mercy
The best counters for Mercy are:
- Sojourn
- Winston
- Widowmaker
- Roadhog
Sojourn can use her beam’s burst damage potential to end any Mercy with ease. This is yet made easier if she charges the ability up beforehand.
Winton can use his Leap ability after closing the gap and finish Mercy off in a matter of seconds.
Widowmaker only needs a single shot to annihilate Mercy. All she needs is a well-placed shot.
Roadhog can counter Mercy’s slow mobility and hook her into close quarters for an easy finish off with his shotgun.
There’s really nothing a Mercy can do to counter these picks.
How to counter Moira
The best counters for Moira are:
- Wrecking Ball
- Widowmaker
- Sombra
- Winston
The Wrecking Ball can close the gap between it and Moira with fair ease due to its high mobility. Once it gets close to Moira, it can finish her off easily regardless of all the abilities Moira has to absorb damage,
The Widowmaker is also a good counter for Moria. All she needs to put Moira down is a single shot. All her healing abilities will be of no use against a Widowmaker since she only needs one shot to kill her.
Sombra can use her Hack on Moira to prevent her from using the Fade ability to escape. Once she’s immobilized, Sombra can then use the extra damage from her ability to finish Moira off by herself.
Winston is also a great counter to Moira if she doesn’t have the ability to Fade available, or if she isn’t fast enough to react to his Leap.
How to counter Zenyatta
The best counters for Zenyatta are:
- Anna
- Genji
- Widowmaker
- Winston
Anna can be considered highly in terms of countering Zenyatta. The reason is that her anti-grenade can easily stop Zenyatta’s transcendence from being effective all on its own. As the transcendence has a short range this makes her an easy target for a surprise anti-grenade which ends up taking all the trans healing away from her.
Genji can counter Zenyatta’s primary attacks very well. He can reflect his attacks back at him to deal massive amounts of damage. Moreover, at close range, Genji can also finish off Zenyatta pretty easily with his blade and shuriken.
Widowmaker can prove to be a great counter to Zenyatta as she is also a long-range fighter. The only difference is that the Widowmaker can end Zenyatta with just one shot.
Winston can take advantage of Zenyatta’s weakness in escaping abilities to pin him down and get a quick kill. Moreover, he can also tank a lot of damage from Zenyatta.
