5. Booped Off The Map - Overwatch

It might've gone through all sorts of twists and changes since its 2016 launch, but there are still few titles out there that can match Overwatch when it comes to engaging, team-based multiplayer. In many ways it represents the pinnacle of hero-based shooters, and while it's nowhere near as big as was during its debut, any and all challengers have failed to dethrone it.

There are so many ways to get something out of Overwatch, as opposed to most shooters where kills are the main commodity. Pulling off a satisfying ult and chaining eliminations together is great fun, but of course, the most embarrassing deaths tend to be the most simple, and when it comes to Overwatch, there's one way to go that's particularly humiliating - getting 'booped' off the map.

Whether it's Lucio using his alternate-fire or Winston raging out, there's nothing worse than being on the point and getting knocked off the map, watching the objective slip through your fingers as the opposing D.VA waves goodbye.

It's the Hans Gruber of video game deaths, and it never gets easier the more it happens.
