Speaking of cheap deaths, I'm not saying there isn't any server lag on the game, but come on - hardly any of us (on the console side, anyway) even knew about 'tick rate' until Overwatch came about.

Now it's become the go-to reason for every death that ever happened. Granted, darting out of cover and then dying within seconds when no one else is around is genuinely something that needs to be fixed, but the amount of posts that have flooded Reddit and every other social page pointing to this nebulous "tick rate" as the reason people are getting creamed, is both hilarious and overblown.
