Zaryacan protect both herself and a teammate with her Barriers, keeping them alive even against D.Va’s Ult.
Pharahcan stay well out of Doomfist’s effective range, and rain hell down on him from above.
Genjiis too fast and flighty for Doomfist in many situations.
Just point and shoot.
Junkratis always a good pick against strong Tanks.
If Orisa pushes, he should use his Mines to deal extra damage.
Otherwise just keep raining grenades down on her and her healer(s) until she dies.
Big targets are ideal for Reaper.
Bastionhas the firepower to tear apart Reinhardt’s Barrier and then Reinhardt himself.
Junkratcan use Reinhardt’s Barrier as the easiest target practice in the world.
Zaryais the tank best suited to surviving a hook from Roadhog.
Widowmakercan stay well out of Roadhog’s hook range and continually snipe him to burst him down fairly effectively.
Roadhog has a fairly large head, so headshots aren’t too difficult for her.
Reaperand Roadhog are an interesting matchup.
Both can heal, and both excel at close-range fights.
Reinhardtcan weather Sigma’s Hyperspheres, and charge straight through Sigma’s own Barrier, just like Orisa can.
Sigma can’t do anything against Reinhardt’s melee attacks.
Up close, Winston loses most Tank vs Tank fights, particularly against Roadhog’s shotgun blasts.
It also gives her some safety if he decides to pounce on her at any time.
Junkratcan quickly wear Winston down with his onslaught of explosives.
So Reaper’s shotguns are ideally suited to taking Hammond down.
Particularly in Tank configuration, Bastion’s DPS is something for Wrecking Ball to fear.
As long as Pharah is careful not to supercharge Zarya’s Bubble, she’s a great counter.
Without it, Zarya is much more easily dealt with.
Land a hook on its large frame and it’s almost certainly dead.
Junkratcan treat Bastion just like a Tank hero, raining down grenades until it dies.
Junkrat is also ideal for dealing damage while staying out of line of sight of Bastion’s Tank configuration.
Anacan use her all-important Sleep Dart to neutralise Bastion the moment it configures into Tank mode.
Reapercan hit Bastion’s large hitbox very easily if he gets up close and personal with the robot.
As long as you get the drop on Bastion, it should be fairly easy to destroy.
Over the ranges that Widowmaker excels at, Cassidy will find it very difficult to land accurate headshots.
Baptistecan lay down his Immortality Field to protect against Cassidy’s Deadeye Ultimate.
With her hitscan shots she can headshot her out of the sky with ease.
Just be careful of Echo’s powerful no-damage-dropoff bullets.
She can shoot the floor next to him to deal damage even while he’s deflecting.
Brigitteis very hard for an enemy Genji to assassinate.
She will very often win this matchup.
Hanzo simply doesn’t have the mobility to escape a Winston.
If timed right, she can also use her Protection Suzu to counter Junkrat’s Ultimate.
Widowmakercan defeat a Junkrat with a single headshot at any range.
Pharah can also quickly burst down Mei’s Walls, and isn’t constrained by them.
Sombracan Hack Mei to prevent her from using her Cryo-Freeze to save herself.
Widowmakerhas the one-shot burst damage potential to kill Mei before she even has the chance to activate her Cryo-Freeze.
Hanzofills a similar sniper role to Widowmaker, and thus is a great counter to Pharah.
All he needs is a single headshot to send her back to her spawn room.
Sojournhas the benefit of her hitscan beam attack to burst down Pharah in the air before she can respond.
This is particularly useful when Pharah holds still in the air to activate her Barrage.
Zenyattacan activate his Ultimate to save everyone from a Reaper Death Blossom if he’s quick enough.
Her slide can also be followed fairly easily by Winston’s Leap.
Winstonis nearly as good against Soldier: 76 as he is against Sojourn.
Junkratcan protect himself from sneaky flank attacks by Sombra thanks to careful use of his Steel Trap.
Widowmakeris as good against Sombra as Sombra is against her.
It all depends on who gets the drop on the other.
But as always, Widowmaker’s one-shot-kill capabilities makes her a very dangerous enemy for Sombra.
Traceris a great flanker just like Sombra, and both will have lots of difficulty finishing off the other.
If Sombra can hack Tracer, it’s a different story.
But otherwise, Tracer’s abilities will give her an edge in combat.
She can mostly shrug off whatever Symmetra can throw at her.
His primary attack is also well-suited to quickly taking out Symmetra’s turrets.
Widowmakercan one-shot-kill a Torbjorn from well outside his effective range.
Torbjorn has no real mobility or survivability beyond hisOverload, making him an easy target for Widowmaker.
Anacan use her Sleep Dart to counter an Overloaded Torbjorn that is giving her team trouble.
She also has the sniper’s benefit of vastly outranging Torbjorn and his turret.
Brigitteacts as an anti-flank Support with her strong personal Barrier and long-ranged melee attack.
It’s both difficult and dangerous for a non-Ulting Tracer to get up close and personal with a Brigitte.
Even if she manages to grapple away, he can quickly follow her with another Leap.
Wrecking Ballfills a similar diving Tank role to Winston.
Widowmakeris once again the ideal counter to another long-range sniper character.
A single headshot will kill an Ana instantly.
Traceris very good at bypassing the enemy’s frontline and forcing a close-range fight with the likes of Ana.
Unless Ana lands a good Sleep Dart on Tracer, there’s little she can do against Tracer.
Genjiis just too fast for Baptiste to have a chance.
Baptiste’s shots are hitscan, but Genji’s deflect allows him to get close before finishing him off.
He can quite comfortably deal with Baptiste at just about any range.
Roadhogcan hook Baptiste right out of his Immortality Field and kill him with a single shotgun blast.
Even without the hook, he’s just too beefy for Baptiste to handle.
Pharahis predictably very adept at staying away from Brigitte and raining down fire on her.
Splash damage from rockets hit on the ground next to her will hurt Brigitte through her Barrier.
Junkrathas the perfect skillset for dealing with any slow tanky hero, and Brigitte is no exception.
Even if she manages to get close, he can blast them apart again with his Mines.
There’s really nothing Brigitte can do against a hero at such ranges.
She can kill Kiriko before Kiriko has any time to teleport away or save herself with her Protection Suzu.
After that, unless Kiriko is very good with her headshots, Sombra will win the fight.
Sojourncan easily burst down Kiriko with her alt-fire beam.
Pharah’s rockets are probably the best counter to a good Lucio.
Torbjornhas a lot of damage potential that can burst down a Lucio before he heals up.
His turret can also auto-aim on Lucio despite all his wall-running antics.
Moiracan lock onto Lucio fairly easily with her alt-fire, and leech away his health while healing herself.
In a pure 1v1, Moira should win the fight.
Bastionhas too much damage for Lucio to simply duck and weave and heal through it.
Winstonis well-suited for diving straight onto a Mercy and finishing her off.
Roadhogcan take advantage of Mercy’s predictable movements, hooking her close and eliminating her with ease.
Sojourncan use her hitscan beam to deal lots of unexpected burst damage.
If she spends time charging it up ahead of time, it can delete an enemy Mercy with ease.
Moira’s healing and Fade won’t come into play if Widowmaker lands an insta-kill headshot on her.
Sombracan prevent Moira from using her Fade to escape with a single Hack.
Wrecking Ballcan hound Moira easily with his extreme mobility.
Widowmakercan easily dispatch an enemy Zenyatta with a single shot, beating Zen at his own long-ranged game.
That was a lot of heroes and counter picks to get through!
