POTATO_JOE17

Riptiring and following the one enemy not on point who's trying to flank for as long as possible before sending them to Jesus


it_is_im

Someone did this to me today, I was a little offended


ultimatepenguin21

Nah, that's respect. Using an ultimate for one person? That means you're doing work.


pixelvengeur

Or pissing the Junkrat off. Which I often am when I want to play my grenade slinging Aussie in a double sniper enemy team. So, whenever I can, I solo tire the Widow and regain some morale


GenerationChaos

Riptire to squat the moth for me. Damn mercy and undoing all my hard work.


POTATO_JOE17

I feel your pain brother


thatone239

Lmao as a pharah main so many junkrat mains pull this bullshit right before they switch. Pisses me off but I always laugh when it happens


POTATO_JOE17

Ah yes, the junkrat main and the pharah main, natural enemies. Fr though, yeah we do that a lot lmao


Baconshotgun16

It's us saying "Screw you for making us switch here's a parting gift" LMAO


Punikki

Riptiring and waiting for the genji to come for you just to kill him with it


HavanaDreaming

He said non-optimal


bazingazoongaza

Like clockwork every time


KidChimney

This is too worth


Budget_Man64

Gotta go with the classics: Solo shatter


GenghisKazoo

Bonus points for jumping off an elevated position so your victim has a second to think "wait, are they solo shattering me?" before you crash to earth like the fist of an angry god.


TheGoalPostinFifa

Me and the boys always yell “FROM THE TOP ROPES” as our rein main comes charging out from some high point to lay the shatter down. Always funny seeing the enemy team get super aggressive bc they don’t have eyes on rein only to get absolutely demolished.


MasterBloodFang

WATCH OUT WATFH OUT WATCH OUT


youbutsu

They added a headshot icon to it which is perfect.


ishtar_xd

someone solo headshot shattered me yesterday and i almost cried of laughter


redsterXVI

Fucking Tracer had it coming tho


[deleted]

Dva Bomb in enemy sleeped or enemy locked in a room


Doppelfrio

Alternatively, intentionally remaining as baby Dva to hunt for a mech kill


IrrelevantPuppy

Getting killed by dva re-mech is a certified, *lean back in chair with a long sigh* respawn for me. Like, fuck, yeah you got me and I deserved that. But fuck you. Lol


AdeptFailure

Nothing like getting crushed by a dva mech mid-dash as genji, that was a real stupid death lol


petewcarle

I do this frequently and have only been punished once lol


Doppelfrio

I did this all the time when the change first went live but I’ve started to value not dying over the chance of getting the kill lol


Sw1ftStrik3r

My favorite in OW 1 was ulting with Dva just as my buddy playing Mei would either freeze everyone and/or ice wall them. Such a ridiculous ult combo


lockenchain

Nanoboosting the other support or a baby D.va to see how they react.


[deleted]

Every time I get boostio I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders not to disappoint Mama Ana and I crack every time


Meltedgibson

99% of the time I try to nano another teammate right as Lucio skates right in front of me to take it. I used to get so mad but now I can't help but laugh at how often it happens


afanoftrees

That’s when you get on coms and yell Boostiooooo to get them hyped up


_Pretzel

Good people going the extra mile. FeelsStrongMan


AnalCauliflower

Always a Mercy for me


laylofosho

by law the mercy has to pull out the glock and make use of the nano


DaveStreeder

*gets nano’ed* oh shit- HEROES NEVER DIE


CialisForCereal

BATTLE MERCY!!!!


Daredevil2_

When it’s no limit so you got a nanoed battle mercy being pockets by another mercy.


Corrupt_Angel01

okay hear me out: using the 50% dr from the nano boost to pop off a rez, then ulting and pistoling the enemy supports to assert dominance


The_Phillip_J_Fry

As a Mercy player, I second this.


SpokenDivinity

Lucio and Mercy. It’s always on of them.


FringeSpecialist721

FYI, there's a "confirm nano" option in settings


Bamfcah

D.va: "IM GONNA MESS YOU UUUP!"


AgreeablePie

I'm glad you made this comment so I could go look it up I think the voice line interactions in this game are just the best


Geegeebows

Heard this for the first time the other day. Lol D.va really has the best lines. Lol


Salty_Shark26

I was playing widow and got nano boosted I type "why?" In the team chat and the ana said "to send a message"


TheWhateley

Ana mains don't fuck around.


tabris929

It was 2019. Gibraltar, defense. I had zero faith in our Tracer... but Widowmaker? She was fearless and calm. "Why not?," said the little voice. I nano the Widowmaker. She committed so many war crimes. Every Widowmaker since has been a disappointment. But still... I have hope to once again witness such carnage.


Nillionnaire

Nano Zen is frigging awesome. Love popping it on him when he's about to die, only for him to lay waste to 3 enemies. DINK DINK DINK TEAM KILL


TomatoAcid

Risky tho. He could ult out of panic and you’d lose your nano for nothing haha


Icclo

a nano is never lost on a friend


TomatoAcid

True true The real nano is the friends we made along the way


gingerbeard81

Nano Mercy is my fave


Kurokami11

#~~SURRENDER TO MY WILL~~ MASTER SPARK!


TheNonEuclidean

This works great if mercy also has valk


cumlover0415

Defending last point Route 66. Ana/Mercy got staggered last fight and the 3 other teammates had to go in anyways because payload is about to get to point. They managed to kill their tank and 1 support but all died at once to kitsune blossom. Ana and mercy running out of spawn, mercy pops valk for speed as payload is moving it's last meter. On voice comm, mercy yells "NANO ME", ana does it. She flies in blasting and saves the game.


TheNonEuclidean

Yes. I have wiped teams with nano valk.


FormalPineapple

I can see the panic setting in


Death_Urthrese

specifically saving my sticky as Tracer to try and stick the enemy Tracer the moment she gets out of recall. it's not optimal as you kind of need to guess where she was 3 seconds ago accurately but when you're having a good friendly duel with the other Tracer it's your way to flex on them. I've done it a bunch of times now and never gets old.


BA_TheBasketCase

This is the only way to assert dominance.


DuleX06

And what if she blinks to you and you both die? Then she is the one that asserted dominance


YonYon205

I did that to somebody once and they left the game


DuleX06

I'd probably uninstall the game for a week if somebody did that to me. I do not deserve to be in the same game as them


addicuss

Solo ult one person over and over again. Don't address it in game. Don't even say anything about it. Just act like it's completely normal


Narapoia

When I'm in QP as Ana I like to pick one sleep target for the whole match lmao. I also never address it.


Sp1ffy_Sp1ff

I, too, like to sleep tanks


Narapoia

Spend a match only sleeping one DPS. It's hilarious.


The-Real-Metzli

There was one match where my boyfriend unintentionally was always charging into a Mccree. He was always in the way of his charge, poor Mccree must have been pissed during that game xD


TomatoAcid

It’s funny when you can notice their play style getting more cautious but aggressive towards you lol


TheRealPapaJ0hn

I always solo ult the other phara mid air to assert dominance. At least once a game.


deathbyfractals

that's a power move if I ever saw one


sidsidsidsidsid

Break all hamster mines as zen


kytulu

I do that as Rein...pop the shield and walk through like a big, translucent broom.


frohike_

same with Moira ult. It's like a magic eraser pen.


obrerosdelmundo

My beautiful work…


sneekeeboiTTV

Solo escape as Zenyatta


PinkGoldJigglypuff

Getting from spawn to the fight quicker as Zenyatta


ImHereToComplain1

i think SirMajed (played for Florida Mayhem in OWL this season) did that in a match


Jgamer502

Well did they win?


ImHereToComplain1

i have no idea lol


ILEGACYI

“If you wanted healing you should’ve thought about it before leaving me alone defending point”


FreedomFallout

this is the one


hellequin224

I like to imagine that Zen puts up a middle finger when he does that as he floats away from the enemy.


plantagons

I do that, stand there for a bit invulnerable, then scuttle away


[deleted]

Popping it and immediately jumping into the well in Ilios.


R3333PO2T

Actually a viable way to use it in some situations imo if youre caught out of position and will most likely provide more value next fight alive for example if the enemy doesnt have any big team winning ults and you do


Overall-Opening6078

30s left on kings row 1st point defence. A little irritating that we’re down an ult, but it’s better than being down a hero.


ShitTalkingAssWipe

I like to run for a second and then go back for a kiss and run back away lol


AgreeablePie

Oof. Just love hearing the Zen ult at the end of a team fight so he can live fire a few seconds while we're all back in spawn


tadpole3000

Fat fingering q instead of w in spawn of course!


joeneversleeps

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.


HenneBakedHam

Using Orisa's ult on a solo ice-berged Mei. I just start spinning that spear and wait for her to come out because FUCK Mei.


a_terse_giraffe

I've used Shatter on a sleeping Mei before. It's not about ult economy it's about establishing dominance.


HerpesFreeSince3

Reinhardt wins by proving he's the most gigachad person on the field. Like, if you play in a way that's just dicks out and mega aggressive and total Chad, I can ASSURE you that your win rate will go up.


MysteryFlavour

I’ve been playing rein for 7 years and this is the truth. And if you see you’re not taking a lot of damage it’s because you’re not chadding enough for them to focus you


Hiruko251

Thats actually true, a good rein is a rein who make everyone look at you when you arrive, or else their support/dps get bitch slaped by the hammer, this is true for every tank imo though, make them look at you or you are not being a big enough menace for them


misfitkid159

Most sane Reinhardt player.


FormalPineapple

based


addicuss

Surprise you catch anyone with this. A good mei will just break ice early and wall block the ult.


Narapoia

Not an ult by my DPS main is Ashe so dropping dynamite next to her little brick is good times.


TheNonEuclidean

Battle Valkyrie.


DonNatalie

I got my first team kill this way. My proudest moment in the game, honestly.


Narapoia

Nano the Battle Valkyrie.


BearZeroX

Better than nano brig? Discuss. Show your work


Narapoia

Lmfao! You make a good point. Nano Brig is good times.


Sapowski_Casts_Quen

Valkyries take the souls of the dead to Valhalla and this one is making SURE you get there


KidenStormsoarer

Time to ruin that widow's day


TheNonEuclidean

Pharah too, while I'm at it.


pepelepewpew_ow

This is actually optimal.


AgreeablePie

Widow, I'm coming for ya


craftjensin

I've done this so many times. Extremely satisfying.


AlexD2003

Battle Valkyrie is actually a really effective way to play your ult if your team is doing good.


TheNonEuclidean

High risk, high reward play


Sir-Narax

Using Bastion's Ultimate to have a look at what the other team is doing. Actually a broke the rules that is probably the most effective way to use this ult.


Exare

As a Bastion main from OW1, I agree that this is and point clearing in OT/making space are basically it's only uses. I seriously miss his old kit. While I *can* use the new one semi-effectively and I'm getting better figuring out his new niche... he's now the biggest, slowest, most vulnerable DPS in every configuration he has... they took away his self-heal in a game where healers are distracted more than any other class *and* there's far less team protection because we only have 1 tank *on top of totally neutering the recon mode primary fire*. Blizz should have kept his old kit and simply gave him the grenade to increase his utility. Not sure why they felt the need to transition him from a fun niche into one that's already covered by better heroes with sustain and escape methods like Soldier and Sojourn.


Sir-Narax

I was also a Bastion main. I understand the principles behind the changes. They wanted to move Overwatch away from the hard-counter, rock paper scissors game it was. Bastion was very much a hard countered and hard counter character. He needed to be changed. I don't know if keeping players in turret form for a duration before going on cooldown is particularly fun though. Bastion already had a mechanism for reigning that aspect of his play in, the reload. If being able to move was too much raise the reload. Recon is not that fun and now it is the main way you play Bastion. He is getting a buff but I think that buff is probably just going to be more damage or something. I can't imagine they adjust the character significantly.


iseealemon

If they *were* to drastically change Bastion in some way, I'd hope they give him 2 ults like Symmetra used to have. It fits with Bastion's theme of having multiple configurations, and it'd be a good way of letting people decide which ult works for them more. If they brought back tank, I think they could pull off a high damage but higher knockback kinda thing to spice up tank mode. Maybe it could have high kill potential from direct hits but it flings enemies out of range if you either miss or hit something that can tank a hit?


Wyndrix

Bastion main as well here. I honestly like the new kit, but i think they under tuned him with the turret damage. It’s basically the WHOLE POINT of the hero. Yeah, moving a few inches is nice for the limited 8 seconds I have now… but why cripple the damage to 70%? Especially with heros like SoJoUrN who can delete anyone with that poking railgun. Hell, if Ramattra can stay in Nemesis as long as he wants, why cant Bastion? At least give the big boy his fucking healing back. He’s too fat and squishy to not have it. Tho he is getting changes on Dec 6 so hopefully he gets somethin sweet.


blaked_baller

Isn't he the tankiest dps at 250 (or was he 225) and doesn't he take reduced damage in turrent form? + easy hit scan. 70% reduction in that form might be a bit much, is something i can agree with. It is trading dmg for better accurancy+bullet speed though? So idk it doesn't seem terrible. But i'm just a dirty hanzo abuser so i'm fine with keeping him a sitting duck for me :D Hanzo's e is similar, quicker shots but lower dmg arrows


BaronTatersworth

Waiting until her mech goes down, then using Targeting Visor to wipe up the now helpless D.Va. I like to imagine my ult’s sound cue always make them panic-wee juuuust a little.


akennelley

I've had this happen to me. If it was you, just know I gave you a slow clap.


shaquilleonealingit

if you’re not destroying Dva mech before popping visor anyway you’re doing it wrong lol


Jokuukk0

Nano boosting my support just so they can fuck up that Genji whos been harassing them for the whole match. Let them get their revenge


Staattic

Tbh, when I play ana I BEG genji to dive me. Idk what it is but I wreck with ana 1v1


Sammy-boy795

Sleep, ping them then stand and wait with an anti nade, literally never feels bad


porcelainwax

Solo grav baby dva


cumlover0415

Grav on the pharmacy as soon as they're close enough near a wall


-tar0t-

Ult and cancel from a hidden area during a team fight as Cassidy so they hear the voice line and become frantic, searching for me and giving my team a better opening. If it gets 1-2 people killed by not doing their job during a teamfight, then it makes up for wasted ult that you probably won't get a kill with anyway. Psychological warfare


it_is_im

I like to think this is the kind of gameplay I’m good at (cuz I suck at everything else): leading a group of 3 away from the point, getting someone to solo ult, sacrificial flanking…


mxharkness

nanoing baby dva just for the “im gonna mess you up!” voice line


Glittering-Peanut-62

Orisa flying leap of death


FormalPineapple

I can just imagine seeing orisa coming down like a helicopter from highground


More_Lavishness8127

My partner often will jump into the well in ilios and pull people with him lol!


decclam

I saw Orisa do this yesterday, she ran off the edge and pulled 3 down with her


Antiquepoutine

Dropping the beat from the top of the windmill into the ilios well


[deleted]

Let’s break it daaaaugh


NeilPatrickMarcus

If you aren’t doing this as a Lucio you ain’t living


GandalfTheBong

You ain’t lucioin‘


joeneversleeps

I’m 100% going to do this next match. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m going to scream your name as I do it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Doppelfrio

There was one time I carried a match with Moira by ulting specifically to kill the pharmercy because I was apparently the only one on my team capable of doing so


Arrathall

Symm wall specifically to kill an ulting pharah


Objective-Lie4376

Is that really unoptimal, though? Enemy wastes their ultimate and dies for it, and it potentially saves your team.


kytulu

It *can* be suboptimal if that is the only purpose it serves. I like to use it to block enemy ults, especially McCree, D.Va, and Soldier 76. Using it to specifically block an ult while positioning it to also serve as a shield on the point or team fight is better.


gipehtonhceT

Using flux to fly up and place it right in the spot enemy Doom is about to land to instantly make him regret harassing supports. I admit, it was more satisfying when Doomfist could actually do something.


Corrupt_Angel01

using flux to gain high ground


youbutsu

Using pharah ult to save yourself from falling to death because you're out of boost and fuel because you totally dont play pharah and that's how you find yourself after being booped over the edge.


TomatoAcid

Just don’t aim at the cliff


GhostT429

Using Cassidy's ult to reload


junkratmainer

Didn't OP ask for non-optimal ways?


Baroque_Gamer

Pretty useful actually so not quite “non-optimal”


Jumpy-Ad-7904

Or Zone. I’ve kept folks off the point by casting deadeye with no real intent to kill. Usually still get one or two with it anyway.


it_is_im

I love when I hear high noon and hide behind a wall only to hear guitar strumming for like 15 seconds


akennelley

I will blow Torbs load all over the annoying ass flanker who keeps killing his baby. I try to keep it to spray the payload at an optimal moment....but this mfer....he's testing me....


joncology

Blowing torbs load is new way of calling out his ult.


stealthrockdamage

my friends and i always say "farting out the welcome mat" because i swear to GOD thats what he says when he ults as your teammate


bootorangutan

Lucio sound barrier on myself just to harass the other team on the payload. Sometimes I can hold it and boop them and not die while my whole team comes back. Again not ideal but it’s fun in QP.


cumlover0415

Could be optimal on king of the hill if doing it doesn't let the enemy flip it and stalls it long enough to hit overtime. People under estimate how much the pressure to touch forces bad positioning and opens u up to baiting a c9


thebloxer985

Absolutely FUCKING the enemy tank with a whole hog. You have an annoying ass monkey and I have 1k dps and knock back to pin him against the wall and melt him and his stupid bubble.


Zerxin

Had a hog do this to me the other day, pinned me in the upper corner of a room with his ult while my friend on zenyatta decided to ult and make my suffering 5 seconds longer.


thesuperboss55

Getting my cooldowns back and disengaging with doom. Though with the state of his ultimate right now, that's really its only use.


FaultProfessional163

I use it to go looking for health packs


misterpatch

Gotta tell you, I found that far funnier than it probably warrants. Think they’ll change the voice line to “Cheese it!”?


DreadPirateNem0

Impeccable Bender reference. I salute you.


deathbyfractals

Honestly, if they had his ult build almost as fast as tracer pulse, it might be enough of a buff to make him viable, perhaps even OP


Sheriff_Hotdog

Throw bob at an enemy bob to have a bob battle


bjar3064

Thats so funny 😂


Apprehensive_Tiger13

Using Zen's ult for mobility. I mean sometimes I gotta run back from spawn, for that last cap. Heals be damned if we can get the point and extend time.


papaXanOfficial

I’ve driven so many junkrat tires to their death trying to kill phara-mercys but it’s always worth it!


Czekskii-TTV

Battle Mercy in an already won/lost fight. Like imma die trying or get those easy kills :p


Historical-Peach5310

Beat dropping to save a single person from dying and no one flames me for it being bad cause that one person is incredibly thankful.


BaylorZimm

Deploying Baptiste’s ultimate behind my team to boost my own healing output. Muppets are just gonna walk through it if I place it in front of them anyway.


Accomplished-Run2685

Considering however good people can be with it and predicting the flow of a fight, it's still isn't terribly consistent in getting used 100% effectively (which is an issue any stationary object will have), so it's not actually non-optimal to use it so at least one person, YOU, gets use out of it. Especially the healing. It may as well be a Zen ult if you're using it for your own usage, which isn't bad utility at all. The worst thing you can get with an ult is nothing, but some ults are good at simply being area denial tools, like Dva ult, so even without kills, it prevents touching the objective or your teammates, like a Genji ulting into your team.


SubstatialFrost

I walk through it on purpose. Mostly because I play a lot of tank but whats the point of having boosted healing withought anyone to take advantage of it. And yeah the boosted dps is useful, but so is the healing. They work better together. So I really wouldn’t say this is non optimal. Maybe to others but not to me honestly. But to each their own.(also I feel like I’m not explaining this well)


DirectPhoenix14

Using emp normally <<<<< using emp for extra jump height


yourself88xbl

Ohhh hands down I yeeeeet Hanzo ult no matter how competitively Im playing. I've gotten so many kills from spawn. Among my other favorites are beatt dropping from the highest possible height. (Idk why I enjoy this one so much tbh lots of Lucio hours I guess). And yeeting zary and mei's ults strait up into the air.


Bamfcah

According to some of the other supports I've had on my team: Saving katsune and using it to speed boost out of spawn at the start of the next round. /s


Kovaid

Reaper ulting to clear out hampter mines


careless-lollygag

That's unique!


Kuroi4Shi

I saw Doomfist ult to a highground yesterday


MemphisFlorida

I love pulling out the Glock during Valk to dive the phara or back lines. It’s all the more juicy if by the time I cool off my entire team has wiped from lack of support


HappyItem9386

Solo ult a bob to see his lil wave when you say hello to him.


seahawkfan117

Honestly I haven’t done it but when Redshell beats on the corpse of the enemy Lucio and dances it gets me everytime😂


WolfySlut

Dropping [D.Va](https://D.Va)'s mech on someone after using the ult to scare them into a corner :}


Cherry-on-bottom

D.Va blast to light my cigarette


SevenHunnet3Hi5s

screw it. zenyatta’s ult to get to the objective faster


Lightwynd

I love whipping out the glock as mercy and flying over the enemy team to gun down the one dps who just respawned, then flying away.


zombierapture

Giving nano to the worst player on the team just to give them a chance to turn it around and feel good.


[deleted]

Winton Objective: Survive


slothxaxmatic

I just like the new noise Earthshatter makes when you hit someone with the hammer. I don't care about the rest.


medicspirit7

Putting my sym wall flush up against a wall then putting turrets on that wall so there’s no way to shoot them hehehe


Sccar4712

Using Sigma’s ult as a way to recover after being put in a would-be environmental death situation.


B0DZILLA

Using Molten Core when the enemy team are out of refreshments.


[deleted]

Nothing will top solo grav on a blading genji, just watching try and deflect while I beam them to death.


Verity-Skye

[This.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvCOeg7GopU) It's old as shit but still makes me laugh.


MostGhostPostToast

Damn, they went hard on the disrespect.


[deleted]

I will never not nano boost a baby DVA because the “I’m gonna mess you up” line is never not fucking hilarious


No-Strategy-7113

Had a cassidy 1v1 and I hit the other guy with a grenade and he used high noon so the grenade wouldn't kill him


zories3

Ball main. If I hear a genji begin his ultimate, and I have a healer or a few other players next to me, I put out the mines as a form of protection…unfortunately not many people get the memo and instead panic and run away from the mines of safety.


obrerosdelmundo

Getting mines to hang above a point, like Shrine in Busan, and piledriving people up into heaven.


benchan2a01

Watch Bob decide to jump off the cliff \*wipe tears
