What does it mean, that my ultimate goes up to 200%, not just 100%?

Hi guys,

I am not sure if I already have not asked this earlier

, but nevermind lol.

What does it mean, that my ultimate goes up to 200%, not just 100%?

Will it hit harder when it is 200% or more, or is 100% the cap and letting it go above 100% is waste of it?

Ultimates have different costs, and for example, overload can be used mutiple times until it runs out.

Thats ultimate points, not percent. You can store up to 500 points.
And no, it doesnt matter if you use 100 points or 500 (except for Overload, that ulti depletes your ultimate points with every attack). But keep in mind that if you throw your ulti when you are at 500 points and your ultimate only costs 250, it will still use all 500 points.

hmm, well yes, this is what I thought, so no point in letting it rise above 100%.

It would be funny if we could let it grow up to 500% and then be able to hit it multiple times after another

The reason it goes above simply being full, is that there are ultimates that work based on how much you have built up - for a lot of builds it doesn't make any difference though, once it's got to 100% that is the best it's going to be and it being at 100% or 200% makes no difference.

It wouldn't. Imagine double Soul Tether as gankblade, or double 2h ult.

You mean 10 people dropping 2 batches of destro ult back to back at breach.
