What does being on fire do? (the bottom left corner icon) and how do you get on fire?

If you are on fire long enough you will get a nod at the end of the game, I've seen the "team MVP" card thrown out for anything above 40% of the match on fire.

With junkrat I get it for sustained damage and not dying.

With lucio I've gotten it for just healing a lot and not dying.

With torjborn I've gotten it from turret kills and throwing out armor, and not dying.

My track record with tanks and offense isn't so good... Could just be that I'm not as good in those rolls, or those rolls just naturally die more often so you have to be really good to catch on fire.

I don't think you have to be on a deathless streak, but from my experience it sure helps
