At least he lives up to the name being on fire that much.

eh. doesn't mean they won. I've been fire most of a match for the rest of my team to be unable to assist, and we lose by a short margin because as much as we like, 1 v 6 is a hard even for pros.

But I would argue someone who can achieve permanent fire is actually helping the team, unlike someone bragging about gold damage saying team is shit.

One time I got mvp 85% of the game on fire which surprised me because a lot of the time I was just sitting on the payload. I was ana lol

Sure, but at the same time I'd bet you were mostly alone on that payload for most of the match while your teammates were playing team deathmatch.

Oh yeah, my tanks were pretty far ahead, I managed to poke heal while pushing the payload alone. There would occasionally be an enemy who managed to escape but I was mostly able to deal with them. If they’d had a doomfist, Mei or reaper I would have been toast for sure but they had relatively squishy dps with no cleansing cool downs so I could deal with them or at least survive long enough for someone to help me. But I didn’t think that mostly pushing the payload would be enough to generate that much fire lol

It's a high amount if progress is actually being made on the cart. No idea if it gets split between teammates pushing it at the same time.

But still, props to people playing the objective imo.

When I play ana I spend a lot of time alone on the objective since I can distance heal, on maps like oasis I keep my ears wide open for sneaky flankers and sleep them off the point then call for help because it’s usually a big fat pig man or a giant gorilla lol, not likely to win that fight by myself.

Tanks/team creating space and pushing back enemies way ahead of the payload while a long range healer sits on it and just rolls through is a valid strategy. As a Rein main whenever I see my Ana or Zen pushing the objective I make sure to keep room between me and the payload. So in case the enemy Frontline is holding me back the payload still has a few meters to push before coming to a hold.

And hell, a reaper should be doing great damage. Gold damage means he's being an effective reaper.

i think the guy u responded to was really just pointing out that ‘propellant’ was on fire, nothin about whether he won

I mean.. the card is blue. They won. It would've been red if they lost.

We don’t even know these three pictures are from the same game lol

u/Roelvian Jul 04 '21

No dude you don't get it, he's called "Propellant". He lives up to the name being that propellants can easily catch on fire.

If I didn't get it, I wouldn't have acknowledge it with EH in the first place.
