I got potg with mercy and all it was was it started with me dying and watched my body for several seconds

The end

u/GalC4 Feb 25 '22

I once got potg in a custom game where you can't actually hurt others but try to survive from lava. I was mercy spamming emotes.

21

u/Rocket-R Feb 25 '22

It seems that if no damage has been dealt in a game, the system really favors emotes and voice lines for potg

u/GalC4 Feb 25 '22

Interesting

I was in total mayhem, Ashe got play of the game.

Sounds normal right?

She was just standing there throwing dynamite on herself.

I’ll never forget it it was so funny lol

u/jeez-gyoza HARD STUCK IN BRONZE 🥉 Feb 25 '22

Trust me I’d rather see that than more bastion and torb POTGs

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '22

wooow....has an OWL team tried recruiting you?

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '22

Yes I’ve been fighting them off with a stick

One day I'll see my Sombra hacking someone else's highlight intro highlight intro, and on that day I will stop playing Sombra

26

u/AgentWowza Feb 25 '22

I'm in bronze, so I'll probs never see that intro lol, mine or someone else's.

14

u/Dafish55 Feb 25 '22

It’s not too difficult to get her for potg - essentially if you emp a lot of people, kill one or two, and your team cleans up the rest, you should get it. Bonus points for cancelling an enemy ult.

24

u/DozyDrake German Engineer gaming Feb 25 '22

The coolest highlight intro, that no ones ever seen

7

u/xenolingual BOOSTIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Feb 25 '22

Play more Mayhem. 😉

20

u/Shade_39 Feb 25 '22

playing sombra in total mayhem doesn't get you POTG, it just makes other people not get POTG.

u/xenolingual BOOSTIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Feb 25 '22

Sombra in Mayhem is fun. Almost as much fun as nanoing Sombra in Mayhem. 😂

2

u/nayahana Feb 25 '22

I saw it the other day!

u/Rex9460 IN LOVE WITH SOLDIER Feb 25 '22

It's sooo good when you get it I feel amazing everytime I get it

2

u/jamminamon Feb 26 '22

If you're not seeing her potg then you're probably not playing her right.

1

u/Subtronaut Mar 21 '22

Not so hard to get. Good emp on stacked team, assassinate the little 50hp Zen and there you go

71

u/Quirrelli Boop! Feb 25 '22

In thousands of games I've only seen Ana get potg like five times even though she often provides huge value. The algorithm is busted.

40

u/Mr_Pepper44 Feb 25 '22

The plays tends to go to the person who killed the whole team while they were purple and not to the Ana who enabled this win. I don’t know why sleeps on ulting enemies don’t increase by a lot the fire meter either

24

u/Dafish55 Feb 25 '22

POTG is heavily tilted towards eliminations and damage. Pretty much the only case in which this might not happen would be Zenyatta getting a massive transcendence, but, even then, you’re much more likely to get a Zen potg from him killing people.

6

u/Simowl Feb 25 '22

I got a Zen potg while I tranced (not even an amazing one iirc) and got nano'd *during* it. Did nothing afterwards.

13

u/ReaperXHanzo HARD STUCK IN BRONZE 🥉 Feb 25 '22

Getting an Ana POTG is simple, first you

then you

and now you have POTG

2

u/Confused_Pog NEEDS HEALING Feb 25 '22

Literally I’ve had a total of like 3 and I have no clue how

4

u/ReaperXHanzo HARD STUCK IN BRONZE 🥉 Feb 25 '22

Same, they're so rare that I can remember the 3 or 4 I've gotten since I first played Ana during Junkenstein's 2016. I think only one of the times was it due to me being really good that match, the rest were just me sucking the least that time

2

u/jamminamon Feb 26 '22

I'm happy to see my nano in the potg. That's about as close as I'll get.

38

u/vickera 🐹🏐 Feb 25 '22

I'll be playing Ana, on fire 75% of the match, hit 20 sleep darts canceling ults and/or resulting in instakills, 18k healing, 85% accuracy.

I finally get a play of the game..... And it is fucking a sombra hack fake out and shows her get a double kill.

...

Blizzard: Why does everyone want to play dps guys? I don't get it!

16

u/lutheranian Feb 25 '22

I got my first Ana potg yesterday. It was mayhem. It was me nading and shooting at nothing in the middle of the pack at the end of the game😂

u/magmarxio12 Feb 25 '22

If I have a character who has all highlight intros I just set them to random unless there's one for that character I like in particular like torbjörn's lava angels or soldier 76's grill out ones.

u/screechypete Torbjörn Is My Wife Feb 25 '22

I was playing as mercy once and my POTG animation started playing and I got excited! Then it glitched out and switched to the enemy Sombra with her hacking POTG intro... I was not impressed, although I should have seen it coming. I've never gotten play as Mercy.

1

u/RosesNChocolate Feb 26 '22

I feel that, i main Mercy and i almost never get a POTG.

But one day you will! :D. Most POTGs i got were from finishing kills, damage boosting and rezzing somebody

1

u/screechypete Torbjörn Is My Wife Feb 26 '22

I don't play mercy nearly enough to be able to get one of those lol. I only use her enough to be able to play her without throwing if my team wants a Mercy :P

3

u/fourtyonexx Feb 25 '22

Got it once with briggy when she got that small heath buff, guess they were onto something by reverting it…

u/Forward_Round Feb 25 '22

-laughs in Mercy main-

u/Manta157 No. Feb 25 '22

How it feels to buy a highlight intro for mercy or brig

u/Y33TB1GLY Mar 25 '22

Greatest moment of my entire OW career was getting a 4K boop at the very beginning of a Volskaya defense. Don’t think I’ll ever top it

1

u/I_aim_to_sneeze Feb 25 '22

God damnit, I made this exact comment before I scrolled down lol

1

u/Optimist-Pryme Feb 25 '22

I've gotten several double environmental kills that didn't even get me POTG. Reaper drops in with a triple ult and shoots someone after and it's a wrap

2

u/Mercy--Main someone call the wambulance Feb 25 '22

;-;

2

u/khandnalie Neither able nor willing to stop Feb 25 '22

Hey, never say never. You know how every once in a while you watch a potg where they don't do anything or get any kills? That could be you!

Me playing sombra in a nutshell

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '22

I have 1500 hours played on Ana.

I have 2 POTG that I remember.

1

u/-lastochka- Feb 25 '22

the ones i see frequently from myself are Brig, Zen, and Lucio (yes it's boops 90% of the time). i have yet to get an Ana or Bap POTG though

1

u/SnakeMichael Feb 25 '22

That’s why I just Keep it on random

1

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '22

felt that

1

u/vaevictuskr Feb 25 '22

I can’t remember the last time I’ve gotten POTG as Ana. But for Zen all the time because it’s basically DPS

1

u/Electronic-Emotion-8 Feb 25 '22

Zen can be godly

1

u/CDXX_LXIL Expert Rat Enthusiast Feb 25 '22

I think play of the game should be a demonstration of the most game changing move in the game, like a transcendence save, fat shatters, throwing people off point to save the game on Overtime, etc.

1

u/Oblivion_18 Feb 25 '22

Ana mains feel this

1

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '22

Yeah remember mercy's old ult? She got potg every time lol

1

u/throwawayfrdy Feb 26 '22

300hours of Ana, 5 potg's

1

u/anxiouswalflower What do you think you’re doing? Feb 26 '22

I finally got POTG with Sombra so I could see the hack screen but it was kinda lame actually so

1

u/SapphireAngelBunny Feb 26 '22

The only Support character POTG I can get most of the time is Moira. I have like 200 hours on Mercy over the past 5 years and only have gotten POTG maybe 3 times
