What SR are you playing at ? I ' m around the platinumdiamond range and maining Pharah nearly exclusively and I ' ve been having good results , especially since the recent patch . I don ' t think the existence of a soldier , McCree , or widow is enough to hard counter Pharah . She kills them nearly as easily as they do her , and I have often played Pharah into a team of 2 counters and still mopped the floor with them . A hitscan player with good positioning that really wants to ruin your day still can , and there does come a time when you ought to switch off , but played properly , those matchups come down to skill . Pharah ' s ult is definitely a weakness . It ' s easy to get yourself killed but it also has , by far , the highest damage output in the game . You can burst down an entire Reinhardt shield and still finish him off . You can outDPS Lucio and Zenyatta ults . Since it ' s big upside , big downside , it ' s even more important to pick your opportunities wisely . Don ' t be afraid to use her ult to score even 12 kills , as long as you can be certain to live through it .
