Best Hero Counters for Ramattra in Overwatch 2

As stated before, each hero role sports specific characters that can counter Ramattra when playing Overwatch 2. So below, you can find the counters for Ramattra for whichever role you're playing. 

*Note: This list is based on the current meta, so if that changes due to nerfs, buffs, or other balance changes, we'll be sure to update this listing as soon as possible. 

Best Ramattra Tank role counters

Roadhog 

Roadhog excels in survivability where Ramattra struggles. Since Ramattra heavily relies on healers to be effective, Roadhog acts as a hard counter due to his ability to either hook Ramattra away from his supports or eliminate the supports themselves, leaving Ramattra vulnerable and exposed.

D.Va 

D.Va possesses multiple means to handle Ramattra. Her Defense Matrix effectively neutralizes many of his shots (making his Void Accelerator almost useless), and her boosters enable quick evasive maneuvers when faced with Nemesis Form or Annihilation. While she may face some challenges against his Vortex, her other strengths more than compensate for any weaknesses.

Orisa 

The spear-wielding hero, Orisa, has numerous ways to deal with Ramattra. Should he dare to activate his Nemesis Form, she can charge him down with her spinning javelin or javelin itself. Moreover, her Fortify ability allows her to hold the frontline effectively for a considerable duration. 

Best Ramattra Damage role counters

Bastion 

Bastion continues to wreak havoc on the roster, including Ramattra. Bastion's Assault configuration effectively melts Ramattra's shield, and the duration of his tank configuration ability surpasses Ramattra's Block ability while in Nemesis form. This unfavorable combination puts Ramattra at a significant disadvantage.

Pharah 

Having a sky view can greatly aid in defeating Ramattra. Pharah can rain endless rockets from a safe distance, and her Concussive Blast can push him away when he becomes troublesome for the team. However, it's crucial to watch out for the enemy running several hit-scan characters (e.g., Cassidy, Soldier 76, Ana, etc.).

Tracer 

Due to Ramattra's slow movement, agile heroes like Tracer can easily outmaneuver his primary attacks, which we can personally attest to happening a lot. Although Ramattra's Ravenous Vortex aims to slow down and ground airborne heroes, Tracer's blinks allow her to evade swiftly. Her high mobility is especially advantageous when Ramattra triggers his Nemesis form.

Best Ramattra Support role counters

Ana 

The anti-heal nightmare, Ana, remains a direct counter to Ramattra, as she is to everyone on the roster. Ramattra's heavy reliance on healing makes him extremely vulnerable when hit by Ana's Biotic Grenade, rendering him unable to recover. Additionally, Ana's well-placed sleep dart can prevent Ramattra from taking her out, especially when Annihilation is activated.

Moira 

The ingenious scientist, Moira, has plenty of tools to take down Ramattra. Her ranged main method of attack makes it difficult for Ramattra to focus her down, and her ability to completely fade out offers additional survivability. As long as her team can dish out damage and provide support, Moira proves to be a great choice against Ramattra.

Zenyatta 

Ramattra's ultimate can be devastating due to its constant area-of-effect damage. To counter this, Zenyatta's Transcendence provides essential healing, and his Discord Orb helps to shred through Ramattra's health pool, even when he is in Nemesis mode. This combination effectively mitigates the threat posed by Ramattra's ultimate ability.

And there you have it, a quick and comprehensive look at the best hero counters for Ramattra in Overwatch 2. Of course, there are many variations you can use against Ramattra, such as knocking him around with Lucio, sniping him from a distance with Widowmaker, or getting up close and personal with a Reinhardt and Mercy duo, but ultimately, the ones listed above are the most reliable to try.
