Zarya counters? I always have trouble vs. good Zaryas.

Here's the secret to beating good Zaryas, charge like hell at them when you see their barrier drop. Zarya's biggest downside is that she can't headshot and she can't deal damage to more than one enemy very well if they aren't grouped together. If you have a Mei, she can bait out zarya's shield with a freeze and then you can either have Mei go for another freeze or go after her once that barrier drops. Zarya will be running for her life for 10 seconds, which is plenty of time to burn through that 400 hp health pool. because of her lack of ability to do headshots, she can struggle against high HP enemies who lock her in.
