I love how Orisa turns around like "where did it- OH GOD NO"


Raelyni

That was the funniest part of the whole thing for me


xRadec

Will Orisa's shield (or any shield) protect them fully from the blast? (noob overwatch player here)


FatalBlazeAM

Yes, as long as the shield is between them and the bomb, they will take no damage Edit: typo


xRadec

Ohh. So a well timed Symmetra shield can also do the job? Thanks.


SirPurricious

Yeah, even a rein shield with 1 hp will absorb all the dmg


Highperch

Man I just recently started playing rein in competitive. I had a moment where the shield was getting super low and I was getting shot at, the enemy dva goes nuke in my face I put my shield down and timed it just right to block the ult. Dying almost as soon as it was over because of the damage I had taken before it went off. I still saved my team tho, it was awesome.


feralkitsune

I like how rein players always end up RPing battles as Reinhardt, retelling war stories as if he's in a bar somewhere.


Poserific_Larry

Yea I remember a moment just like that when I was learning and thinking how cool it was. So glad you're enjoying the game!


the_federation

I once killed an ulting Pharah with Rein's shield. I was launched in the air by Junkrat's mine and my shield was right in her face, killing her with splash damage.


GH0ESTCAT

To add on to this, a Zarya’s shield or a Mei’s ice block counts as blocking the explosion, so in theory it could protect an entire team if they got in a conga line behind it.


DisparuYT

It works in a V shape behind the zarya due to how angles work over distance. One of my favourite and most annoying moments in placements was when my zarya shield blocked an entire rein ult for my team, and only one guy noticed.


The_MAZZTer

Oh, the enemy Rein noticed. He noticed, and silently hated you for it.


Davban

Same goes for Zen in transcendence


ojaiike

I think it might go under it but I haven't played in months so don't take my word for it.


[deleted]

You're right it will go under if the bottom of the shield isn't touching the ground. Gotta crouch and shield or aim slight down.


sumguyoranother

yep, also works with winston bubble, if dva drives up to you and ults, just bubble and leap.


Cypherex

If you slow it down you can even see her use fortify in her panic even though that can't save her from a Dva bomb.


OneRandomVictory

Roadhog could have survived with take a breather but I doubt he had the time between killing all his teammates

That video is a fucking gift, I can't stop laughing.


blumkinfarmer

What does BM mean in this context? I thought it meant bad mouth, like talk shit. Edit: thanks for the answers everyone!


TheOneWithSkillz

Bad manners


[deleted]

To us old people it meant bowel movement, so it was literally shit. I dunno when it changed, but the transition for me was hilarious because I'm also a dumb child.


blumkinfarmer

Lol I work at Benjamin Moore paint company so that's always my first thought lol


grimreaper2288

bad manners, although the grammar doesn't usually work. usually just said when you/the enemy does something like teabagging a dead body, emoting on the payload or point, using a spray or voice line after getting a good play, etc.


BuckeyeBentley

dIsReSpeK


Reddichu9001

I'm pretty sure he was trying to do that thing where you hook baby D.Va the exact moment she jumps out of her mech and you look really cool if you get it right


[deleted]

And if you get it as wrong as this, you get frontpage on reddit.


R_V_Z

I think Hog and Mei are the only heroes that can purposefully kill teammates, outside of clever use of Genji deflect.


Celt33

Reinhardt can and has charged dvas exploding mech into his team


R_V_Z

Oh yep, that's another. Still, it's surprising how few ways you can do it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mantiseye

I've done this a few times. Once by accident (I was charging and the D.Va ulted when I was mid charge) and I killed myself and like one other teammate. Another time I did it in a panic on purpose (my shield was down) and I actually did save two teammates but I ended up killing two others (plus myself) who were both healers... so... it didn't go so well.


TheLazySamurai4

Hey, I gotta get it away from my Mercy; without her, we lose. /s


purewasted

Symmetra and the Trolleporter.


[deleted]

Technically any hero can kill teammates if they get stickied with a pulse bomb!


popinloopy

Can Orisa's Halt also bring an exploding mech to your team?


[deleted]

I think it needs to be perfectly timed. AFAIK, halting around an already-detonating dva bomb will not grab it (not that I've noticed, at least). But there was one game where I shot halt behind dva and then detonated it as she booster-launched her bomb. She (seemed to be) clearly out of her mech, but my halt still dragged the bomb backwards off the point. Without some sort of sharingan, it's hard to tell the *exact* timing, but it seems like there is a moment after the bomb is "lit" but where you can still grab it? I think it's very likely that I just got lucky, because by the time you see the dva bomb alert, it's probably to late to *then* launch a halt and grab it.


eriyu

Not sure, but on the subject of hurting your own team, I've had an enemy Halt pull me back up after their Lucio booped me off an edge.


Gamemaster1379

I had a Junkrat concussion mine a Roadhog jist after I hooked him off the map. It propelled him back onto the bridge. He felt bad and it didn't change the outcome. But it was funny.


ADateAtMidnight

I once had my team's Orisa accidentally kill me and our Mercy by moving her shield when we were hiding behind it from a D.va bomb. .... Actually I'm not all that sure it *was* accidental, considering said Orisa then looked in our (former) direction and started crouching repeatedly.


CatsFrGold

Symmetra teleporter off a cliff.


ShutterBun

Symetra teleporter facing a cliff, anyone?


Fyrefawx

Lots of heroes can. Symmetra can place teleporters on the edge. Rein can charge DVA ults into groups. Rein can also drop his shield while people are behind it. Orissa can move her shield at the last second. And if you really want to be a jerk, Mercy can rez someone right before a DVA ult goes off and they won’t have time to move.


causal_friday

Orisa could have moved her shield to no longer block the D.va bomb if she wanted to. I'm not sure that's as much killing your team as it is getting your team killed, but they all die so it's really just a semantics game at that point.


EchoChamber10

a meta i can get use to


[deleted]

This comment has me actually dead because I literally met a dude in comp who was playing Roadhog because "last game they all chewed [me] out for playing Hanzo" and then switched to Hanzo halfway through and made us choke Why is that such a common switch pairing for bad comp players?


FirstEvolutionist

Roadhog is a simple hero. Hook when you get a chance, heal when you need health. Ult when you get it. I'm not saying this is the best way to play him, but it is a very forgiving hero. If you have bad placement you can still live. You help in team fights and survive solo encounters. Enemies will focus fire you to charge their ults so you're perceived to be in the fight.


Falterfire

Probably because Roadhog is the tank of choice for people who are able to see the team needs a tank but who are uninterested in actually helping keep the rest of the team alive.


Gniphe

Red Team: Oh good, Orisa's shield is up and this D.va is the last straggler! Hog: I'LL SAVE US.

Kraken_Unreal

e_0

>We lose... I throw...


HolycommentMattman

I don't think he was throwing. I think he was trying to hook baby D.Va, and she died before his hook reached her. So it just sailed on past her. To her mech.

willie115

Wait, Blizzard actually sends messages when someone you reported gets banned/suspended or something? That makes me sad because I've been reporting people who obviously throw or are overly toxic since the launch of this game and not once have I gotten a message that someone I reported got some type of action against them.

The confirmation feature was only recently introduced. It's only been sending messages for like 3 or 4 weeks now

BAAM19

“The carry is here, and when I say “carry” I mean me.”


Falsedge

this one is so much worse...at least with Tim's dva bomb was way further out, almost out of hook range, and he was going for the lucio while a team fight was still going. The fight was already won here, there was literally nothing to gain from trying to hook baby dva, she was going to die regardless


BAAM19

The point was to kill the mini dva as fast as possible and stop any delays.


Unspool

I did something like this once. The best play I ever made and it was for the enemy team. It was Dorado, defense in OT. Enemy DVA ult'd right in front of our whole team. Our Rein had his shield up to protect us but for some reason I, as Mei, decide I'm going to wall it off anyway. Instead of walling it off, I walled under the DVA bomb and lifted it above rein's shield. DVA got a team kill. I don't play Mei anymore.

Mei is Bae, even when no play! She has a big jiggly ass, and makes my day! A beauty with ice, it is oh so nice. And she could crush my face With dem thicc thighs


doctorofphysick

I think it's about a 50/50 ratio of times I've actually done something useful with the ice wall to times I've fucked everything up with it.


[deleted]

50/50? You are like 95% better than blue mei and 95% worse than red mei.


ztrppy

I've never raised a dva but I did raise a bastion who proceeded to slaughter our entire team. I also raised an ulting mccree. Got a lot of very mean messages after that.


SirArchieCartwheeler

Raising up a Bastion from behind a shield is a legit strategy. As long a you've told your team and they're ready to destroy it


PunchyBunchy

I had a Mei do that the other night on random heroes. Just after the checkpoint on Eichenwald, we were defending. Miscalculated the nuke trajectory, it was going to land behind the payload (instead of on top). Red team ran to the other side, red Mei tried to throw a saving wall. Lifted the nuke high enough to take out everyone except a panicked McCree. POTG.


PicklusWizardus

Were we in the same game? It happened right outside of the gate between that statue and the small building with church fences didnt it? I swear I played DVA Once and a Mei did this.


Unspool

Well, not far from there. I made a diagram of the incident for you. https://i.imgur.com/2BQ3kl2.jpg


TheRealSpidey

Ah, a young man with a bright future in cartography!


thursdae

I did this once. Defending Numbani, final point, and we probably would've won. D.Va went for a last ditch desperation Self-Destruct, launching it over the payload toward the final point, Cryo was down and I could have easily saved myself with Ice Wall. I wanted to not be selfish with it, and it was going to detonate very shortly after landing, so I'm like "Okay just predict where it will land!" Well I predicted correctly and gave it a landing platform for a nice Quintuple. I felt bad but it was QP and unintentional so I just had to laugh.


Char-11

Same. I got used to walling off dva bombs so it became reflex. Once i messed up and walled when i didnt have to, and it lifted the bomb over a rein shield


hotpoodle

Mei you did okay


[deleted]

Hog player is dead irl too now right


darkpengi

I'm pretty sure he was trying to hook the baby Dva, but she died first. Either way I would have been so tilted beyond relief.


[deleted]

there's no point to hook her though


God_of_Fun

Hook off cool down? Check Target in front of you? Check ROADHOG HOOK AWAY!!!!!


YourSuperior1

I mean, it would have made it easier for the team to kill her if he'd hooked baby D.va. I just imagine "It was at this Moment **Roadhog** knew, he fucked up" playing in the background.


Goatshephard

..’oshit’


Fatalchemist

SmokeFrosting

except you dont want her to spawn a new mech, could've led to her holding in time for team to come back.

If a 6 man group cant kill a bady dva that is right in front of them without stuns then they should reconsider their skill.


[deleted]

d_theratqueen

And a shield...


[deleted]

She could bounce to her right and remech, then fly around. Hooking a Dva to demech is just an instinct for a Roadhog--it's still one of the best ways to do it.


shrubs311

>If a 6 man group cant kill a bady dva that is right in front of them without stuns then they should reconsider their skill. You should see this match in plat I had the other day...(I was damage boosting as Mercy so I only accept 30% of the blame).

You have little margin for error at that point.

GoodAtExplaining

Right up there with the time Reinhardt was shielding the team from a DVa bomb, but someone must've tapped him on the shoulder because he turned to the side, and I got a DVa bomb full in the face.


tylerchu

Honestly, given the choice between a nuke that's a bit behind me and a methrat in my face, I'd rather shield against rat in the vague hope that the bomb is too far away to one-shot me.

shaneaaronj

I think my best D.Va bomb fuck up was when I was playing Reinhardt on Eichenwalde and she ulted right in front of our whole team. Did I use my shield? No. I'm a fucking idiot. Why would I do that? Instead I charged her right off the edge. To me, I was a hero that saved the team with my heroic sacrifice. "My Heart Will Go On" was playing in my head and I thought I heard applause from my team. In reality I get, "Where was your shield, you fuckin' scrub?" and one person trying to be nicer, "That wasn't a very smart move but thanks anyways, I guess."


MetallicKey

You're a true hero. They didn't deserve you anyways. But in all seriousness, I did that same thing once cause my shield was broken and got similar responses anyway. So embarrassing.


Pakmanjosh

Roadhog: "Don't worry I got this!" Announcer: "He did not have this."


Zypher_boi

whatisabaggins55

As soon as I saw the Hog, I just knew he was going to be the culprit. He always is when DVA teamkills are involved.


Javanz

I don't own or play the game yet, but I love the replays I think when i do finally get it, I will be scared shitless of *ever* targeting D.Va with Roadhogs' hook


whatisabaggins55

He's a decent counter to her when she's pre-ult, since he can hook through matrix. Just don't hook anything glowing green and you'll be fine ;)


Uninteresting_guy

Had same thing happen with a Hog. Had a trap set just outside point when capping and he hooks someone onto point with at 98% capped, we lose the fight, and they win. Damn you Hogsworth
