10 More Video Games That Punished You For Trying To Be Cool

3. Wall Riding As Lucio & Falling Off The Map - Overwatch

Overwatch fan favourite character Lucio has an awesome Wall Ride ability which allows players to - you guessed it - jump onto a wall and ride along it.

It's great, except who among us hasn't gotten a little too obsessed with looking like a gravity-defying badass and forgotten to, you know, play the actual game?

There isn't a Lucio player out there who hasn't tried to pull off an awesome wallride, but accidentally fallen into the abyss below, causing their "suicidal" demise.

Wall-riding is a deceptively difficult trick to master, and so there's sure to be plenty of failure along the way.

But if the sheer embarrassment of the self-own isn't punishing enough, you'll also have to wait for the respawn timer to clear before you can get back into the action, depriving the rest of your team of a precious support character for that time.

Basically, get some practise with Lucio in custom matches first instead of actively disadvantaging your own team with your feckless, failed showboating.
