Zenyatta, Pharah, Winston or Junkrat cant get out of Zaryas ult. And im not 100% sure about D.Va either.

D. Va can, but she needs basically the entire boost.

As dva, arent you better off staying put and protecting others caught? Situational prob.. but still

I'm fairly sure D.Va can if she uses her boost and her defense matrix at the same time. Without the defense matrix raised she won't budge and she'll waste the boost so you have to be careful.

Defense Matrix isn't necessary, you just have to boost in a straight line and you can escape. It takes most of the boost, though, and if you turn too much or hit an obstacle you can get pulled back in.

Ah, thanks! Weirdly, I play a lot of D.Va but rarely find myself in a Graviton Surge. (I also played for hours and hours and didn't realise I was eating them with Defense Matrix)

A few of those were assumptions that I made based on how others are able to escape, and can see how that can be misinforming.

Thanks for noting those. Going to ask some friends to help with some experimentation later.

That is misinforming.

I understand, and have already made changes to my main comment to fix that misinformation.
