High firepower and CC Ability are counters

Compatibility with Orisa

Characters with good compatibility
Sojourn	Ashe	Ana

Counters
Zarya	Reaper	Junkrat

Good compatibility with characters who can push the front line together

Vulnerable to high-damage characters due to lack of barriers

Orisa lacks a protective barrier, making her vulnerable to high-damage characters. Although she has abilities to increase her defense, her hitbox is large, making it difficult to win as she is prone to attacks.

Zarya's Matchups

Favorable Matchups
Reaper	Tracer	Genji

Counters
Pharah	Mei	Sombra

Good Matchups against Dive Heroes

Zarya has good matchups against heroes that dive into the enemy team. When the enemy attacks her barriers, her damage increases. By placing barriers on heroes that dive into the enemy team, she can protect them and increase her damage, killing two birds with one stone.

Counters: Long-range and Mobility-denying Heroes

Zarya is countered by heroes that can attack from a distance or deny her mobility. While Zarya is versatile, her range is short and she lacks mobility. If she is unable to reach aerial heroes or if her movement and escape routes are blocked, she becomes an easy target for focused fire.

Good compatibility with mid-range characters who push the front line

Reinhardt's Matchups

Good Matchup
Lucio	Ana	Sojourn

Counter
Bastion	Junkrat	Echo

Good synergy with buff providers and mid-range characters

Reinhardt has good synergy with characters that can provide buffs and mid-range characters. With high firepower and durability at close range, he becomes even more formidable when supported by buffs. If there are characters who can shoot from behind his high durability shield, it becomes easier to push back the enemy.

Vulnerable to characters with high shield-breaking capabilities

Reinhardt is vulnerable to characters with high shield-breaking capabilities. If his shield is destroyed, he cannot use it for a certain period of time, making him an easy target to be quickly eliminated due to his large hitbox.

Compatibility with Roadhog

Characters with good compatibility
Mercy	Lucio	Zenyatta

Counters

Ability inhibitors and high-damage characters are counters

Roadhog is countered by ability inhibitors and high-damage characters. Due to his large hitbox and lack of defensive abilities, he is vulnerable to direct hits from enemy abilities and projectiles, making him susceptible to various inhibitors and high-damage attacks.

Compatibility with Wrecking Ball

Characters with good compatibility
Genji	Tracer	Lucio

Counters
Sombra	Junkrat	Bastion

Characters with good compatibility for attacking together

Characters that can neutralize mobility are counters

Characters that can neutralize Wrecking Ball's mobility become counters. Because of its high mobility, it is difficult to defeat, but if its ball form is deactivated or its movement is stopped, it can be quickly taken down by high-damage characters.

Performance evaluation of Wrecking Ball

Junker Queen's Compatibility

Compatible Characters
Lucio	Kiriko	Genji

Counters
Orisa	Mei	Echo

Compatible with characters that assist in movement

Junker Queen has good compatibility with characters that assist in movement. Since she cannot attack without getting close to the enemy, it is easier to maneuver with characters that provide speed boosts and attack together.

Countered by characters that cannot be approached
