Overwatch Play of the Game Reveals Catastrophic Orisa Failure

D.Va's ultimate does occasionally test its users ability to strategically position the explosion, timing such that it evades the barriers of the enemy team. More frequently, however, it tests the enemies who wield those barriers, unmasking those players who badly misuse the barriers that should save their teammates' lives.

This clip, posted to the Overwatch subreddit Tuesday by u/sushimytrash, shows a spectacular failure of that test. In the play of the game, sushimytrash launches their D.Va bomb into the center of the enemy team, but it lands right next to the enemy Orisa's barrier, nullifying it before it even has the chance to deal damage.

Instead, in the ensuing chaos, the enemy Orisa replaces their barrier directly in front of their own body, exposing all five of their teammates just at the moment of explosion. The mech detonates, blasting the team off the map and leaving the Orisa to die alone.
