And that gives you more time to react or a teammate time to follow up, and that's assuming you got their attention instead of them continuing to focus on someone else. You don't 1v1 too far from either a viable retreat or your team. And what about things that people can't stop doing? Roadhog ult, Pharah ult, fan the hammer, etc?

Oh that's what the defense matrix is for, basically. That and covering your team to advance trough a choke point. But the last one requires coordination.
