A powerful ability with a lot of teamwork potential . Zarya's ultimate deals nearly no damage, but that is not the useful part here.

Gibraltar is a map that can reward attacking from afar, so Reinhardt and Zarya are out of the question. Sigma and Winston are especially useful here since they can either attack faraway enemies or close the distance well. Multiple enemy vantage points make Winston's leap attract

Just be careful of Anti-Healing abilities, as they can render your ability usel
