Overwatch 2 players brand support abilities as stronger than most ultimates BlizzardAfter listing some of the strongest non-ultimate abilities in the game, the Overwatch 2 community has clocked that one role in particular seems to benefit from some of the strongest cooldowns in the game. Overwatch 2 has quite a few abilities that players need to keep track of if they want to consistently win. Even after the move to the 5v5 format, there are still ten heroes and all their key cooldowns to remember at any given moment. Not every ability is going to be the same, and they don\u2019t need to be. Lifeweaver\u2019s little dash doesn\u2019t have to be as impactful as something like a Genji deflect, or a Mei ice wall. Still, players have noticed that supports are the recipients of some of the strongest abilities in the game, even including quite a few ultimates. Overwatch 2 players determine the strongest non-ult abilities The conversation began when one player asked the community to find the three strongest non-ultimate abilities in the game. It wasn\u2019t long before people realized all the top contenders were primarily support abilities. The most frequently mentioned abilities included Baptiste\u2019s immortality field, Kiriko\u2019s suzu, and everything that Ana can do, though most of the focus was on her nade. Mercy\u2019s rez was also up for consideration, along with the ever-controversial discord orb from Zen. One player in the comments said: \u201cHealers are not allowed to complain because they have ultimates on cooldown.\u201d However, the strength of these abilities doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re necessarily overpowered. Supports lack the traditional damage output of the other classes, and while you might be able to pick up kills with Zen or Ana from time to time, they lack utility and mobility from weapons and passives. This means abilities are scaled up in power to compensate, but Blizzard has often introduced changes in cases where supports are a little too overtuned.
