I was playing Zenyatta and a Junkrat ult killed a few people inside it. I was wondering what other attacks/abilities/moves in the game can do enough damage to outright kill, or outdamage zenyatta's healing? Assuming it's being used on a character of 200 health (which is the mode health)
Overwatch – What Damage Outclasses Zenyatta’s Transcendence?

Best Answer
Zenyatta's ultimate ability, Transcendence, heals 300 health per second, which is faster than any other individual damage-over-time ability in the game (such as Hanzo's Dragonstrike or Pharah's Barrage). This makes him very strong against certain "wombo combos".
However, Zenyatta's Transcendence does not grant any bonus health to people within the ultimates radius, meaning that if they take enough instantaneous damage, they can still be killed. Junkrat's RIP-Tire, for example, does 600 damage - plenty to take out any non-tank character. D.Va's Self-Destruct also does enough damage to kill anybody. The only person left standing would be the invulnerable Zenyatta.
These are the abilities that will guarantee killing any character being healed by Zenyatta Transcendence:
These are the abilities that will kill lower health characters (Any DPS/support class plus some defense characters):
Other ways to kill people while they are in Transcendence:
Note that this list does not include "wombo combos", though it is possible to chain ults together - using Zarya's Graviton Surge, Hanzo's Dragonstrike, and Reaper's Death Blossom at the same time might do the trick, for example.
It also does not include damage buffs such as Ana's Nano Boost, Mercy's Caduceus Staff damage boost, or Orb of Discord - all of which can help push a lot of other abilities over the 300 damage threshold to instantly kill someone under the effect of Transcendence.
