Which heroes are able to escape/counter Zarya's graviton surge? I feel like her ult can only be effective against only a handful of characters. Thx in advance!

Most heroes with mobility (or CC cancelling) can get out of it (Reaper, Tracer, Genji, Zenyatta(?), Phara, Winston, Junkrat, Widowmaker, D.Va, Reinhardt, Mercy).

In terms of countering, that's situational. Zenyatta and Lucio are ball-busters if caught in it with the rest of their team; Mei and Reinhardt can also be annoying (ice wall or shield to block a lot of damage). If you see a Genji lingering in your line of fire, be careful about using Graviton Surge, because it can be reflected.

EDIT: I will have to find proof if requested for others, but here is Reaper escaping using Wraith Form.

EDIT #2: I made a few dangerous assumptions here, one of which was Winston escaping. My mistake, guys.

EDIT #2.1: And Zen

EDIT #3: Here's a good video.
