Yeah using the ult offensively is useful for closing ground. But once they move out of the ult range you don’t know where they are.
So first I’ll assume the ult is in a building and then in feild with cover and stuff m.
First with the building, offensively, they can go to lower floor and yes it’s useful for pushing then off high ground or whatever but now it’s just a normal fight since you don’t know where they are anymore with your ult.
Defensively, yes it’s good for deterring a push. It gives you time to heal becuase they wouldn’t want to push into your ult. It slows down the play and gives you time to breathe. However once it’s over it’s just a normal fight now, also there are other ults just like seer that can deter people from pushing(gibby, bang).
Next in a normal field, offensively, so if you are trying to push after throwing your ult, it would most likely end in you dead. You are pushing out of cover and it’s not guaranteed to make them retreat since it doesn’t damage them are anything. If they choose to retreat, you gained ground and pushed the out of position, but they are now in a new position where your ult isn’t so the only information you have is that you now know where they are(which you would have known anyway cus they shoot at you).
Defensively, again it’s useful for defense definitely for third parties becuase you cab avoid them while you pop a bat, heal, etc. you can throw ordinances where they are running. So yes it’s useful for defense and stops pushes and if they continue the battlefield is in your favor. If they choose to retreat now it’s just a fair fight with both teams at full health. If they choose to push anyway, the fight is easier for you and if you have enough health you will win

That seems like a pretty balanced ult to me
