EMRE HERO COUNTERS
Emre's three-round burst drops 200 HP targets in two clean bursts at mid-range, and Take Aim ADS extends his threat range without slowing movement. Siphon Blaster lets him brawl close with lifesteal, making him dangerous at every distance. Sombra hack strips all his tools and leaves him with just base burst shots. Zarya beam ignores his Cyber Frag angles. Override Protocol ult makes him airborne and vulnerable to any hitscan who looks up.
Emre's top counters are Wuyang, Zarya, and Sombra.

Domina, Zarya, and Sombra counter Emre. Domina Barrier Array blocks his burst shots and Crystal Charge closes distance where his ADS advantage disappears. Zarya beam doesn't care about Cyber Frag bounces and high charge melts him. Sombra hack cancels Take Aim and Siphon Blaster, leaving him without his mid-range or close-range tools.
Emre sits at A Tier right now with a 50.2% win rate and 16.6% pick rate across all ranks. Strong meta pick. Expect to see Emre in most matches.
Force close-range fights where his burst rifle loses to shotguns and melee. Emre's strength is mid-range consistency, but Take Aim only helps at distance. Cyber Frag bounces are predictable once you learn the angles. During Override Protocol, he's floating in the air with a bigger hitbox, so hitscan heroes should focus him immediately.
Override Protocol makes Emre airborne and exposed. Any Widowmaker, Ashe, or Soldier: 76 who looks up kills him before the ult gets value. His Siphon Blaster lifesteal also requires landing shots, so burst damage that kills before he swaps weapons denies his sustain entirely. Cyber Frag has predictable bounce patterns.
Domina Barrier Array blocks burst rifle and Crystal Charge gets into Siphon Blaster range where Emre doesn't want to fight tanks. Zarya beam punishes him regardless of distance and bubbles cleanse Cyber Frag debuffs on teammates. Ramattra Nemesis Form blocks burst shots with block stance.
Sombra hack strips Take Aim and Siphon Blaster. Without those tools Emre is just a burst rifle with no sustain. Tracer blinks dodge his three-round burst timing and one-clips his 200 HP. Echo Focusing Beam finishes him below half HP faster than Siphon Blaster heals.
Wuyang Guardian Wave knockback interrupts Emre's ADS positioning and pushes him out of optimal range. Kiriko Protection Suzu cleanses Cyber Frag debuffs. Baptiste Immortality Field blocks his burst kill attempts.
