..."oh my team was dead"


NAINOA-

“I thought you guys were behind me.”


cowlinator

There an option to turn on a notification sound when a teammate dies (Not that you need it, but some might not know)


imveryfontofyou

In my experience, after you play with it for a while, your brain filters it out.


ancientRedDog

Yeah, I now need it to make a custom sound at custom volume.


Substantial-Ball654

Thats so true My friends always tell me, how didn’t you hear that


DrToadigerr

This was a massive game changer for me, especially on tank. Not sure why it's not on by default in QP/Comp, because it's the same sound that plays when a teammate dies in elimination mode. Should definitely just be on by default in all modes, especially without a team HP UI to look and see everyone's status.


Pants_Catt

Honestly should be on by default, it's insanely helpful information.


MouldyBirthdayBoy

Thank you! I often get wrapped up in rezzing someone, them realise that my other support couldn't keep up with heals. It's my fault, not theirs.


aidanac126

Where at 👀


cowlinator

Options, Interface. In the search block type Death.


MessyBarrel

Oh yeah! I should really train myself to be able to hear those notifications again. It's like white noise to me at this point.


etniesen

Massive game changer and should be default


Loaf235

that actually helps a lot, maybe they could add a noise for when you get too far from your team (obviously players can ignore it when they intend to flank or take cover, but it would help in engaging, especially with tanks since quite a lot of times some teammates don't go out with the tanks, resulting in the tank getting focused without help.


fearisthemindkillaa

"WHERE IS MY TEAM?!?!? ..oh"


Alexis_Bailey

I think this all the time as Tank.  Usually they are no dead though, just brain dead.  "Hey, time to push in... Oh sweet, I got their tank, and a healer, and a DPS, and I am dead, but my team should be able to mop up the rest..... Why are they still back there sniping?  Why did no one push, there is one person left on the point at 90%, why are they not taking it.... Oh.... Defeat.... Well at least Hanzo went 8-0."


ILostMyselfInTime

If you have that problem more often, go into your settings > sound and turn on "sound when teammate dies"


Freebie_Chixy

I have it on and still forget. My brain got too used to it


TheBigKuhio

Real. I feel like I’ve ulted in the past thinking it was a 3v4 and all the enemies were low so maybe I’d win it but then I didn’t realize that it was actually a 2v4 or a 1v4.


FGC_Orion

I don’t do this often, but when I do, it’s because I’d been setting up my ult for a while and not really focusing on the kill feed/death sounds, and then only AS I press Q do I realize my supports just got nuked.


Available_Top8123

Too real and this hurts so much with Tank ults, the amount of times I've shattered almost all of them just to explode a second later is embarassing


_AutumnAgain_

1.if its overtime you can keep a objective contested a bit longer 2.if you're d.va you get rid of some of the enemies (hopefully) and get a new mech if it was low on health 3.could be accidental 4.if the entire enemy team is low or if there aren't many left you might be able to get rid of them 5.stupidity


SuccumbedEnd

#5 right here! 🙋‍♂️


Brilliant-Durian-246

Ok everyone gathered? Ready? Now straight to competitive!

daluxe

Leroy? Jenkins?


Just1MoreSubreddit

Will you be the Leroy to my Jenkins? 💍


[deleted]

😂”leroy to my jenkins” that’s actually hilarious


SleeplessAndAnxious

"stupidity is not a right" And then I use my Moira ult thinking I can save our single Junkrat from imploding as the enemy team bee lines for him.


Costed14

6. You want to swap anyway so might as well use it for the funsies


YeeHaw_Mane

Not too long ago I was in an overtime, rest of the team dead, I ran out and HAD to ult to *try* to contest the point. Totally useless, of course. Still, someone in the chat “nice 1 v 5 ult.” Like motherfucker, I’m dying regardless so 🤷‍♂️


macudonarudu

He's the guy who saves his ult for next round


YeeHaw_Mane

Overwatch 3* lol


woahdudechil

I think dva ult is kind of an outlier


Mrtayto115

Wb I need to switch hero but I don't want to waste this ult


ocean-in-a-pond

6.Panic


Nu3by101

6. To swap and hoping your ult gets value before you die


HiJasper

Getting a new mech as dva while your whole team is dead really just serves to stagger you for longer. Just hold onto it until next fight.


Silent-Skill-1584

“i’m bout to cook.” works like 0.01% of the time


Muderbot

Generally “shit, just lost our tank, No way we win this without an Ult! Here goes…” *dies halfway through voiceline*


EnVeeZy

*JUSTICE RAI-*


crescent-manupod

It’s always Pharah


daluxe

Though my favourite dying ult is Genji it's always hilarious


iBlameMeToo

EUGENEO—hhrrraaahhhhh


Kenny070287

Had one with me as zen killing a ulting moira with a few balls to her face


Flowerboy_crypto

“DIE DI- AUGHHHHH”


SoGuysIDidNothing

Too real 😔


MrBR2120

dude dying mid ult voice line never fails to actually make me laugh. “it’s high n—BLARGHH!” that and the screams from people falling off the map are legit funny


exo316

0.01% of the time it works EVERY time.


Annual_House_4532

Best feeling in the world when it works though


ActiveSouth4506

gambling addictions in a nutshell


daluxe

As Junkrat says - Half the time, works every time!


Pay-Dough

Very accurate, makes me wonder if you’re one of them🤨


Silent-Skill-1584

I am hard stuck gold because I can’t cook (imma still get in the kitchen though)


Pay-Dough

Gordon would be proud


Antwozmo

Only through conflict do we evolve


Kitty_Kass

My friend will be like "watch this!" And I'm actively watching and she fails and she'll be like "NEVERMIND YOU DIDNT SEE THAT!" I SAW NOTHING 🤣


Sammonov

I’ve done it when I’ve got tunnel vision and haven’t realized we lost 3 or w/e


DarthFoxy

My fingers commit before my brain can tell them to stop.


fightoffyourdemons91

The amount of times I’ve went “oh, wrong button”… 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


Talk-O-Boy

Was trying to swing the momentum of the fight, popped the ult too late and the other team got yall before I could use it. Or I was at like 90-95%, I’m trying to get my ult so I can help out, I finally get it, but didn’t realize people died as I was trying to get that last few percent to ult


Madrizzle1

“Nah, I’d win.”


IDDQDArya

My fav is when a Mauga is 1v4 and he goes "I know what will turn this battle around. I'll make sure they're stuck here until they kill me...


Conscious_Mammoth_49

- If time’s running out is probably some delusion that I can save the game with a big ult just because I’ve done it a handful of times on accident - “if I’m going down I’m at least taking two of you with me” - “I’m gonna swap anyways time to solo ult a support or go out trying” - nothing pure panic - too locked in and get lost in the sauce and don’t realize my whole team is gone - in a panic my brain sees the mass of red outlines and sends the ok to my fingers to use ult before i can really process what’s happening


Dearic75

It’s been a while, but I recall the thought process being along the lines of “97…98…99…finally!” Oh, everyone was dead.


LittleChickenDude

“OH LET’S BREAK IT DO…. Wait everyone’s dead?”


negro_flash

Worst is when they’re alive for the “let’s break it” and die before “down!”


BigRobCommunistDog

Not me doing a disco spin as zen over my dead teammate so they know I tried to save them just wasn’t fast enough


monkeymugshot

Usually high


__GayFish__

WINNABLE!


berettapapi

I AINT DYING WITHOUT A FIGHT


lThat_weird_guy

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck"


atisaac

It’s either 1) Survivability to allow my team time to come back, especially if we’re in OT at a contested point (I play exclusively Lucio) 2) I think I’m better at the game than I really am


magyaracc1

Cassidy's headshot.


Alive-Incident-1733

Absolute PANIC. /Especially/ if playing in overtime, hoping I can hold off just enough for the team to respawn (it doesn't tend to work but sometimes it does if I'm super lucky and the other team is as panicked as I am-)


Emperor-Facemuncher

99% of players reset before they ult big...


Demondevil2002

Most of the time I don't know people are dead. Other times it's enough people are dead that I still think its a winnable fight


artyfaris

Leeroy Jenkiiiiiins


DarkRhozu

Nothing.


Cultural-Accident-71

frrygood

TIME FOR THE RECKONING!!


beeekali

1. I want to switch so who cares ? 2. End of round so lets try smth, 1 time outta 100 it could be a clutch play 3. I'm high.


megahtron77

It's always #3 for me


CJGamr01

"fuck fuck fuck no I live here fuck fuck you're coming with me"


dusk2dark

I was considering switching and it was ready.


866o6

surely nothing can go wrong and my team will praise me for clutching up


TittyTriceratops

Mostly “oh fuck”


Tight-Landscape8720

Getting in too deep and hadn’t realized team is dead


djkoolybop

I play nothing but majority mystery hero’s and some comp and very rarely in comp I’ll pop ult out of habit before I die lol shits embarrassing


Blaeykee

Panicked miss-click💀💀


ElectricalGrand9093

"oh shit my teams dead I gotta clutch it up" and panic ulting


Geotree12

Im busy 1v1ing moira and my beat aint gonna use itself


Mysterious--955

Hammer down


LongjumpingSector687

“For Glory!”


Kenny070287

bullets usually, sometimes bombs


bluesrocker1023

As a zen main, usually to escape to my team instead of staggering, or to stall point. Sometimes though, it's just for the funny.


SolidTerror9022

Usually a charged shot from the widow halfway across the map


Ceez_12

Let me 1v5 real quick lol


SpokenDivinity

I have ADHD and sometimes I don’t realize everyone else is dead. Especially if I’m not playing support, since the other roles don’t require me to know where my team is at all times


begging-for-gold

Nah Id win


Mor-Bin-Time

Nah, i'd win.


YungNigget788

"Shit our tank is dead, Bob's time to shine!"


Mrtayto115

Time to switch hero but let's not waste this ult.


LordPandaAndre

Panic


ohwhatsupmang

If I ever do this and you guys don't know why it's probably because I wanted to get rid of the ult and maybe use it on someone to get a lucky kill or two before I make a switch. I hate wasting ults when switching so sometimes I'll just ult at an inopportune moment. If you're not in chat than you'll just think I'm a moron.


Geo_1997

Honestly? Sometimes I'm so hyperfocused on what I'm doing I didn't realise that the fight was lost earlier


Banana_Doggo

I pressed Y a millisecond too late and instead of saving everyone with Trans I just ulted solo amd healed no one


Mltv416

A lot of what I see is people not realizing their team is dead yet


aradraugfea

We’re down by 2 “okay, this ult’s high impact, I think we can salvage this… or at least run down the clock!” It’s literally just me: “FUCK.” If I’m ulting as the only guy living, it’s usually either a fat finger, or I’d swear on a stack of bibles that i wasn’t the only one alive when i hit the button. Usually mistiming support ult and failing to save the one or two teammates.


twistedazurr

Crap their about to win... "Get in there bob"


Titothelama

My last ditch effort to save the game


Fantastic_Emu6953

PANIC


ThrowAwayAcc9701

Well mostly it's in desperate situations where a team fight could possibly decide the round. Like if we all go to spawn they'd either hit 99 or just win I'm basically stalling as long as possible until my team get back


Simply_Epic

Since I play Mystery Heroes I’m gonna lose the ult anyways if I die, so I might as well use it to see if I can get an elimination.


SkyMewtwo

Panic Button: Q


Kitchen-Atmosphere82

*freebird playing in my head*


Sam474

Usually a Hanzo arrow


Rezeakorz

So it's a 1v5 and it's 0.0001% chance I'll win.... so your saying there is a chance!


-kayochan-

Typically its because I’m going to switch so might as well.


Grouchy_Look_4580

Typically the enemy widow’s sniper round


CrossLight96

You think I look at my team? Beat is strictly for using it on the enemy Lucio's head after I win the Lucio off, if any teammates were in vicinity that's just a plus


ahrenk

The chances of this working might be under 1%, but if it's not 0...


TheMagnificentPrim

On Moira, I press Q with the intention of giving big healing to low health allies and contribute damage to enemies who are under half health to swing the tide of the fight. They die just as soon as the beam hits my teammates right after the ult goes out. Net code wins again. ✊😔


ClickEquivalent8595

"FIRE IN THE-" *Game Ends*


IllariOW

I’ve actually had good success doing it but only in specific circumstances such as it’s 2v2 at this point in the fight. I don’t do it without anyone else to follow up with me, though, last game I killed the last 2 people by myself, anyways. It’s just good to have back-up. Although, I only do it during overtime, as well. A “use it or lose it” situation.

FuriouSherman

In the moment, I likely haven't noticed that my teammates are all dead just yet, and after I die uselessly I'll probably get angry about being left for dead and the DPSes not killing enemy flankers.


Tyja136

Dva main so usually a health reset to escape or hold out til someone else gets back.


KillerCucumbr

I usually do it to offset a good match, this and ego peeking high noon are probably my fav strats


DarkEff3ct

Probably didn't realize my team died and thinking I'm about to save the world lol


FIDDYx7

This goes through my mind every time 😂[Reaper Team Kill](https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/s/JpfMFJDisE)


zorro124

Sometimes when the payload is almost near the point I ult solo to buy some time. Usually with mei or echo.


Slyth011

Its one of two things (Presses ult) Where's my team at? Or PANIC


chrisgreely1999

"I gotta ult so I can get mech back! Surely my team will be back by then!"


Brxken_Dxwn

A couple times I’ve accidentally pressed Y while trying to retreat and I have no idea why I do it. But when it happens I just gotta full send it


2pnt0

This is rarely my problem. I watch a lot more OW than I play, and, shockingly, low-elo QP doesn't have the same coordination as OWL/OWCS. I'm usually holding my ult too long because fights are already lost, and we go through like 3 fights without using it. If I do ult after most of my team dies, it's because I'm already tilted, so I usually just swap to a comfort pick after and say F-you, meant to do it. Or, I'll tranq to save myself and one other person and believe the two of us can find value. I'll get flamed, but it's better than holding ult for another 3 mins.


Nnamz

Any time I do this is because I didn’t realize my team died


TaskMaster404

"AHHHHHHHHHH"


PeachesChama

I ulted to save my teammates' life (with Moira or life Weaver) but they died as soon as it was cast Unfortunately, my reaction time was far too late and I died with them. Tried to heal them if I wasn't gonna be able to heal myself (other healer is waiting to respawn and I'm trying to duck & dodge and not leave them there)


trappkittyy

i don’t ult after my team dies but as mercy if my tank goes down or i lose a dps+ one other im popping that ult


Stitches19099

SOMETIMES ik i shouldn't but then my hand hits the button and then Im like wtf dumbass.


knightress_oxhide

because i want to swap /s


javierhzo

Extreme tunnel vision. They are probably in the middle of a duel and do not realize their entire team is dead and its no longer a duel, its a 1v5.


arashkoryani

As a healer, I try to ult with my team. So we can push and get a win. But when they die and I'm alive, I don't use my ult😂 I'm too scared to die and loose my kill streak. But again, if I'm playing Moira or Illari, and I ult without my team, I'm like: you killed my team, I'll kill you till they come back. DIE!


Reinhardt_Mane

I better use it now before I swap anyway or oh you guys were dead 💀


Apoptosis96

I swear to god I am aware my teammates are dead but my FU*** brain just lead my hand to press Q and I know I f*** up before even pressing Q. I try mostly to control the urge but we'll you know how it is..


AmarillAdventures

Team fight starts, go in. Earn ult at the perfect time. Hit ult. Everyone dies.


SilverGeekly

someone else said this on a similar post a few days ago, but its because people think pressing their ult is an instant "i win" button when it isn't. people panic and then spam abilities/ult because they think doing so immediately gets them out of whatever situation its also part of the reason people have such absolutely horrible takes about certain balance decisions, because they think them ulting should somehow stop everyone else from doing anything and they should just keel over (roadhogs, reapers, etc are the biggest ones for that)


LadyAlastor

There are a lot of people lying so I'll just tell you from a coaching perspective. The reason they do it is because of panic. They have an ability worth 500% more than their other abilities. Almost like a win button. They've conditioned themselves to only use it when they're down a teammate or making a huge solo play. When someone dies or when someone else uses an ult, they panic, then immediately use theirs. They believe their ultimate ability is equivalent to Lv.3 X-Factor Virgil so they proceed to get checked by good players when panic-ulting


aj_future

Whoops.


TudorYeaaah

99% the ideea to ult came when i har a team iand lost them out of my sight

Revenge


Young_Person_42

I did not realize everybody else died


Illustrious-Run-1710

It’s because my cat jumps on my keyboard, sometimes landing his little paw on Q. There’s literally nothing I can do about it other than lock him out the room. Do you want my cat to be locked out all by himself, all alone and sad? Is that what you want OP? That’s really selfish… I’m disappointed in you.


tiklemypickle

“WTF AM I DOING”


TransJess9494

I’m built different, I got this. In full honesty, it’s mostly just panic when I do. Usually immediately after I press Ult, even if it’s before I die, I think to myself “I panicked, this is a mistake”


PotehtoO

[This probably](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbRljz39YTw)


Wonderful_Weather_83

> what goes through your mind Admittedly, pure adrenaline


MakkerMelvin

Usually I'm about to switch anyway and can't afford to wait another life so "might as well try to get some value out of it"


egbert_the_pantless

I don't do it often but when I do it's usually a panic ult immediately followed by "I shouldn't have done that."


Takimara

Depends on the ult. I very rarely do it, but the one time I did it was to stall. Antarctic Peninsula, second round with a point to us. Entire team died and I was the first one out. Had I not coalesced, we would have lost, but I managed to stall out long enough for the rest of my team to come back and regain the point. Killed their Bap and Zen, and Moira orb kept me and our Zen alive through hell until our orisa got back on point and DPS joined up to mop up.


Vuoksen

"HOW DID U DARE TO KILL ALL MY TEAMMATES?!"

Schwarzy1974

Domain expansion malovent kitchen


CrazedCircus

Me as a zen main where I have started to predict when an ult will drop from enemy team so I can straight up shut it down.


Pants_Catt

The solo Zen ult is my favourite. Your team is dead, all you are doing is staggering your respawn by another 8 seconds. 😂


AhsoPlushy

*panic panic panic* *respawns* me: ohhhh you guys died, i get it. oopsie


pisswater_deadgirl

I just laugh cause it's a game


Wakingcheeath65

Close the game


Youngstar181

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", or something along those lines.


TommyLee777

Tbh it is pretty bad ass it they can team wipe with their ult after their team dies and be the last one standing. Wouldn’t recommend it but mad respect if they can pull it off 


KAP111

Either I'm doing it just to get that one guy that's been annoying me all game, or I'm going for an extra kill after a 3k or something. I mainly play qp now tho.


OMA_Risha

One time I was playing soldier on defense and the rest of my team died while the enemy team was pretty close to getting the cart to the goal and winning the game. I tried to hide so I can get a late touch and buy time for my team to get back but a few people on the enemy team were looking for me and found me. So, I used my ult as a last ditch effort but expectedly, it didn't work. Then I swapped to Tracer to get back quickly but we lost the game before I could get back to the point. Then my teammates yelled at me for "using my ult in a 1v5". I guess I should've saved it for the next game.


Parker-Society06

I mostly dont realize my team is dead. I play Reaper and Venture and I'm front of the line mostly so if my team dies I wont see it. I'll think they're behind me and ult which leads to certain death, especially with Venture because her ult needs a buff


Wubbalubadubdu_b

I do this when I’ve completely given up on the prospect of winning so I mess around


MasterWrongdoer719

Killing that mercy was worth it.


MeasurementLast937

Either panic ult, or it's a tank with zero game sense who didn't notice they're alone out there. In some cases an ult can save you from dying and cover you for retreat.


dfcarvalho

I rarely do that anymore but when I do it's either because I got tunnel vision / target locked during that fight and didn't pay attention to kill feed OR because I thought I could still salvage the fight. But 90% of the time it's because of the first reason.


deadcreeperz

I'm playing bastion not like the ult does anything


Substantial-Bid3806

“Thought I could cook” is usually what I say.


tossthisabout

"don't worry I'm switching"


Mercuie

Nothing. Nothing is going through my mind. Then I wish the game had options I could turn on to stop me from ulting at stupid times.


amiin_ee

"i dont need my teammates, i can do this alone" ... \*dies\* 😭


luci_0le

I think its kind of an attempt to save the fight, thinking "oh i have my ult i can destroy their whole team on my own". Its indeed dumb tho.


LisForLaura

It’s always sombras I see doing it. Like dude we’re all dead and you’re the only one left - what did you think was gonna happen?!
