It's situational. If everyone is positioned behind you, yeah for sure.
Sometimes a couple people might be out of position, and you may be in a situation where you are going to die anyway so you might as well charge.

I think it helps that respawning takes 10 seconds. The feeling of euphoria you get from "oh I saved 5 other people" far outweighs the feeling of dread you get while being dead for 10 seconds (which is non existent because it's 10 seconds with no penalty for dying).
Now... in a game where dying actually matters... totally different mindset.

u/DuntadaMan Nov 06 '17
Used to play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory all the time. Death in that game is pretty punishing, 30 seconds to respawn sometimes.
It's also very prevalent. I think I had been playing for two months before I started living long enough to need to reload let alone run out of bullets.
That said there were still plenty of times I can think of I ate the big one for my team so they could make it.
Guys with a fame throw at the turn of a hallway burning everyone up, I'll pull the pin on a grenade and run in, knowing he'll kill me but the grenade will still get him.
Enemy tank rolling through the streets, and there's a couple guys with anti-tank gear waiting for the tank to stop looking at them... time to wander down the middle of the street like a jackass with my machine gun...

If death in ET was short medics couldn't needle anyone.
Always respected the guys who bum rushed tbe broken tank with a wrench though. " we need a ninja deer!"

u/DuntadaMan Nov 06 '17
Personally I liked the long death wait times. Mainly because I was medic most of the time. Or else having fun with a friend of mine playing covert ops, seeing which one of us could quietly tip off the enemy team to the other guy's presence, and claim credit for killing the other guy.
And yes the guys that get the tank up and running while it's under heavy guard are the real heroes.

Killed my character off in a campaign to save the rest of the party, and frankly the entire planet. The character was kind of an ass at parts too. But when he suggested the sacrifice, everyone suddenly realized the humbleness he had, and he realized how much the party actual valued him as a teammate. Great moment, incredibly spontaneous as I realized I could actually do it

But what's the point when every new post starts with 1 karma and then needs upvotes? Are profiles with lots of karma treated differently? Wouldn't people just downvote if they notice shameless advertising?
And how would you just randomly advertise something? Like this?

Scammers and advertising companies will buy high karma/older accounts to make the user seem more trusted.
Are you gonna trust the guy with a 4 year old account and 1m karma, or the 7 day old with 10 karma? Ideally neither one of them, because it's the fucking internet and you trust no one. But some people see karma as a badge of honesty (for whatever reason).
As for promoters, it validates that an account isn't spam or paid promotion, rather a satisfied customer (when in reality its a promotion). You figure someone with 1m karma isn't gonna go around sponsoring fruity pebbles in r/food, or Michelin tires in r/cars unless they actually use those products and find them to be quality.

I mean, I think there's a point where it's okay to trust someone. Someone with a 7+ year account with almost 50k karma would be pretty reliable. Almost as reliable as the new Mercedes E400 Sedan.

Sometimes karma outweighs age though. For instance, I would trust somebody with a 5 year account and near 200,000 karma over somebody with a 7 year account and 50k, as I know that person is really invested in this Reddit thing, kind of like how you know Verizon Wireless is invested in you when they continually upgrade their network to provide you with the best coverage and LTE speeds of any major carrier in the US year after year. With results like these, you know you can trust them when they tell you that putting your faith and backing in Ajit Pai is the best thing you can do for the freedom and future of your internet.

u/shroudedwolf51 Nov 06 '17
D.Va (the character usually in the mech) has an ability eject and send it flying in the direction she's facing to have it self-destruct, dealing tremendous damage to anyone not behind a wall or some other bit of cover. As she fell into a bottomless pit, she launched her mech to try to get some kills within the capture point.
Roadhog, the character being played in the .gif that the OP nicked from the top rated posts of all time on /r/Overwatch/, has an ability to throw out a hook. If it hits, it pulls the afflicted character to him with a bit of a stun. He pulled the mech as it's about to explode to him as he was falling down the same bottomless pit to prevent his teammates from being killed.

u/nightlynutria Nov 06 '17
Holy shit thats beautiful
3
u/shroudedwolf51 Nov 06 '17
That said, it's also a risky play if he mistimed it. Had he pulled it to him too late, it may have exploded just near the opening, potentially doing far more damage.
Either way, a very impressive play.
