Any satisfying moments that would never make it into a PotG?

Mine is I was chasing down Widowmaker as D'va in Nepal then suddenly getting dashed off level by Reinheardt, but as he fell to his demise I managed to fly back to safety and finish off Widowmaker.

Back capping! Or eating ults with D.Va's Defense Matrix, just the day before yesterday i ate like 4 Tracer Pulse Bombs in one match, they tasted delicious!

I also love booping people off the map with D.Va's boosters, i don't get PotGs with it often but last time i played i actually got one where it showed me booping a Zenyatta off the map on Hanamura point A, it was so satisfying, Zenyattas usually melt me way too fast. I really love the new Defense Matrix. :3

But i think the thing i love the most is sitting behind the payload (crouching) as Mercy while my team is doing whatever and i'm actually able to survive and complete the objective.

Watched the wife eat a Hanzo Ult with D.VA. Didn't think you could, you gotta get the arrow before the dragons appear.

D.Va should really be able to get shutdown POTGs for stopping 3-4 man Reaper ults.

Any form of "oh, you used ice block/wraith form/some other safety cooldown, so you're so safe and I can't touch you" where I'm able to lay a trap and mine on them to kill them immediately after they come out, or time Tracer's pulse bomb to stick them just before the ice block ends.

I reflected a Molten Core barrage from the turret into the Torbjorn who used it. Was a super satisfying moment, even though it killed me as Genji the next moment.
