    Embarassing Moments of Overwatch?

    So I'm on Zarya for like the first time. Ultimate is ready. Enemy team on Volskaya is coming out front respawn by the river. I fire my ult.

    Ult goes into the river keeping the enemy team unharmed.

    Every damned time I stand over a junkrat after killing him.
    I don't think I've ever remembered to move

    I'd have to say when I played Junkrat and managed to bounce my own grenades back in my face is worse.

    Which to this day still doesn't make sense. I can hop on my own mine and blast off for no damage, but apparently the primary weapon does hurt me.

    We Junkrats are very thankful, though. Dying to a Reaper doesn't feel as bad when they immediately die to our bombs :P

    The 500 times I missed and leapt off the edge on Nepal Sanctum as Winston.

    Blinking off the map with Tracer is the obvious one, while under absolutely no pressure.

    Then there's running out of fuel over the pits in the middle of Lijiang Tower, with jump still on cd, again under no pressure.

    This sort of easily avoidable environment deaths... Not blown myself up as Tracer for a while, or hit myself with rocket blasts while descending or in close quarters for a while though, but obviously embarrassing.

    I've ruined plenty of allied Pharah ults as Mei. Come to think of it I have accidentally killed many people with walls.

    Accidentally setting up my teleporter about 3 steps outside of the spawn point...

    I have so many... but I'll go with the most recent.

    We're trying to push the enemy team off of the payload that my team is meant to be escorting. I say, "I have an ult guys!" on D.Va. Time to clear the area!

    ...I shoot my ult off all weird and it goes into an alleyway and harms nobody. Dx

    I don't think it woulda been as bad if I hadn't announced it over voicechat, rawr.

    Getting a POTG on Torb as a Tracer appeared behind me, I spun around and...fell off of the side of the map. Then my turret killed four people.

    I've also accidentally pressed Q earlier than intended and wasted my ultimate ability.

    Yeah it seems weird but I understand why it's that way with the primary explosive weapons. It's so you can't just get in point blank range and be able to actually hit the enemy with them with minimal aiming doing massive damage.

    Killed 3 of their team during a Winston rage on point A Volskaya, turn to grab the Mercy who was hidden around the corner back left, leap over and past into water.

    Many keks were had.

    Trying to punt ppl into the moat around Li Jang point B (Pharah). Run out of fuel and drop into it myself. Has happened more than twice now....

    Where do I begin.

    I've accidentally blown ults at the wrong time on many occasions. One time I killed myself with Junkrat's tire by detonating it the second I sent it out (I derped and clicked to "steer"). One time I escaped from an encounter with a sliver of health as Pharah and then promptly (accidentally) shot the wall in front of me, killing myself. I have run off the world so many times on both Volskaya Industries on defense, making a left into the icy water instead of right (that said, I've watched other teammates in front of me do the same a dozen times, so it's not just me). I have gotten myself killed on Widow by being totally scope blind while someone whittled me down and I stared on, oblivious. On the final push of King's Row, I once ran off the platform three times a single game as Lucio with my speed boost. I've been killed by significantly lower damage heroes just because I panicked and just shot wildly while they took their time to wear me down. I've tried to wall skate/jump along the edge of several maps to take a shortcut only to fail and fall to my death. I learned like four days ago that there are two different kinds of health packs (I NEVER NOTICED THEY LOOK DIFFERENT OKAY).

    Really, I'm the all star of shameful plays.

    Before I realized you could recall back to the surface after falling off edges on Tracer, I fell off of Illios like seven times in one game.

    And yeah, I only just noticed the health pack difference a few days ago too. Was like "why'd that one heal me to about half while the other one previously filled me up?" Oooooooh
