Beckoner's Orphic Ritual, hands down. All ults beside it have various effects but have this pattern.

Look at Mechanic, Barbarian, Frigost, Commander (especially pre nerf), Cryo, Anubis, and Gneiss with their medium damage, high stun AoE ults that debuff you.

Look at Omega, Major, Abyss, Trooper, Nether, Vulca, Spectre, Grand, Renegade, Proto, Obsidian, and Tundrus, which all have primarily single-target ults that do high damage and high stun.

Then we have Tempus being a special little snowflake and freezing ALL activity on your player screen (FFA) or on the opposite team when in range (Teams) and doing no damage but enabling the Tempus to allow their teammates or kit to completely fuck you over naturally.

THEN THERES THIS ASSHOLE. BECKONER. Beckoner suppresses you, does pure damage no matter what (AKA fuck your defense stat) so it's always the same amount, does fairly high stun iirc, it even drags you in and suppresses / works the moment you're vaguely within the circle, and it can affect multiple people at once. This is exactly why it costs BOTH 50 mana and the bar is only filled by using your attacks, otherwise it has by far the longest cooldown of them all. It is so absurdly powerful that the cooldown is absolutely required. And you know you're finished if you get hit with it and Will O' Wisp.

So, in conclusion, no ult is comparable to Beckoner's. The high cooldown and 50 mana is for a very good reason. A suppress, high pure damage that lingers, enables a brutal damage C that you cannot avoid, has a sizable radius, and a pull-you-in effect. And it is only fillable by using your abilities a lot.
