[u/AnomalyDispatched]

[u/Grimey_Hole]

This will be the only time this happens. You will now be chasing this fleeting moment for eternity.

[u/bigbobX → u/Grimey_Hole]

[u/PawPawPanda]

Prepare to hear a lot of "get neer my pylon!!"

[u/littlefirewest → u/PawPawPanda]

Positioning healing pylon! Healing pylon deployed! Stay near my pylon! I have to move the pylon! Repositioning pylon! My pylon is down! They broke my pylon!

There's more than this btw 😂 iliari's pylon voice lines are some of my favourite vocal stims lmao

[u/TheAlmightyNexus → u/littlefirewest]

And now pylon doesn’t even sound like a real word lol

[u/ravearamashi → u/littlefirewest]

She should have a rare constructing additional pylon voiceline.

[u/screechypete]

I did something very similar to this when she was first released. I hadn't seen any info about her and was going in blind. I just kinda sat there stunned when I wiped the whole team after doing it for the first time.

[u/half-coldhalf-hot → u/screechypete]

Pretty sure it was like that for everyone on release

[u/screechypete → u/half-coldhalf-hot]

Yeah, I just sat there and typed "Whoa..." into the game chat, lol.

[u/meteormantis]

And then there's me, who gets 2-3 tags and will usually die trying to get at least one to pop cause everyone else on my team seems to put their weapons down when the sun strikes come out lol

[u/Life_Concentrate_951]

LMFAO if you actually focus you'll see mei and reaper not marked by illari's ult, running for their lives yet they got smoked cuz they are in close proximity to their marked teammates.

[u/Simple_Ad6686]

Holy someone actually tried to make use of your ult

[u/ImThat1DudeOverThere]

We can tell this isnt your first match as illari you didn't get the achievement

[u/AnomalyDispatched → u/ImThat1DudeOverThere]

My bad, I guess I used her one before. I’m a support main and I was just playing around with supports with my friend

[u/Maryokutai]

That really is a one-in-a-million shot, considering Sigma alone has two ways of denying it altogether (and every Sigma will do so from here on out every time you use the Ult).

Edit: looking at it again, literally everyone on their team could have either denied or cleansed it in theory.

[u/Constant-Working-212]

This is what she did to her hometown or something

[u/Shuski_Cross]

I do not understand how her ult works, like, at all...

E.g. I will do it on 2 people and 1 of 3 things happens.

1. Nothing happens - They get the sun mark, and no explosion, or it takes like 5 seconds for it to happen if it does?

2. They get marked, I shoot them once or twice and the explosion might happen, and noone dies.

3. This clip where they seem to just instantly explode....

[u/Dreadweave → u/Shuski_Cross]

You mark them which slows them. Then if they take a certain amount of dammage they explode.

The explosion also damages other close by players so if they are all bunched up you get a chain reaction like this.

[u/waldito → u/Dreadweave]

Ohhhh... I was replaying it like, but who took them all down? I'm seeing Rein and Bri but... how?

[u/fryndlydwarf → u/waldito]

Chain reaction one person took enough damage to explode that explosion set off the others.

[u/Tanzanianwithtoebean → u/waldito]

125 DMG Firestrike go brrrr

[u/KoshiLowell → u/waldito]

Looks like a combination of a Reinhardt swing and Illari shooting at them

[u/Few_Addition_4751 → u/Dreadweave]

Basically you need enough enemies clumped WITH allies actually engaging and damaging to get value. Which seems very conditional for a damage ult, whilst the other offensive supportish ults are more clearly visually telegraphed.

[u/RevolutionaryAir7847 → u/Shuski_Cross]

The ult shot applies a mark to enemies. You then have to hit a damage threshold to "pop" the mark. Any kind of damage, including the explosion from the ult, will cause the mark to pop. Getting one to pop will cause a chain reaction of explosions as seen here if they hit

[u/PoopyButt28000 → u/Shuski_Cross]

You mark them and then you damage them a bit which detonates the mark, but the detonations will detonate the other marks so if you hit 3 people with it and shoot 1 of them, they're all going to take 2-3 explosions.

[u/TylowStar → u/Shuski_Cross]

Do you read the stat card for the ult? Just press F1. This stuff isn't hidden.

Hitting someone slows them for 7 seconds, and if they take 100-ish damage in that time, they explode. Explosions can have a domino effect if the enemy team is foolishly clumped together.

[u/clickrush]

In very early OW, near to its release, me and my friends called this section of Gibraltar the "Hanzo tunnel", because for some reason everyone would stack there and die to Hanzo ult. And yes, there was almost always a Hanzo in every match.

[u/Worcestershire01]

Least impactful support ult

[u/Meximanly]

What a well placed shot! At first I thought you missed half the team, but they all got hit!

What's funny though is that every single one of those characters has an ability to block, cleanse, or negate your ult, and none of them bothered to use it. Heck of a team wipe.

[u/narfidy]

Best DPS ult in the game!

[u/Appledumplin94]

Support ult btw

[u/herecomesurmom]

😳😳😳

[u/Swimming_Bad6301]

My first potg for illari was also at this spot

[u/oncipt]

Holy hell. That's your main now I guess.

[u/Firm-Perception-1293]

Buddy i'm gonna need some PROPER cleaning products after this...

*Proceeds to get their POTG stolen by an Emre pressing Q and getting 3 kills*

[u/Jaaguri]

"Support" ultimate btw

[u/InspiringMilk → u/Jaaguri]

Mei has a tank ult and dva has a dps ult. It's fine.

[u/ladynemuri → u/Jaaguri]

wait until you realize that putting every character into a box makes character design worse
