8. Mei's Ice Wall Corpse Catapult

The cruel misuse of a slain enemy's corpse is a tale as old as competitive shooters, since victorious warriors learned to squat suggestively over the remains of their vanquished foes. Overwatch has its own variation on this time-honoured post-mortem humiliation, executed by the cutest and at the same time most annoying character, Chinese ice maiden Mei. One of Mei's abilities is an ice wall that can block enemy sight lines and movement, and also has plenty of scope for jerk move shenanigans.

A cunningly-placed ice wall beneath an enemy's body catapults the corpse high into the air, like a sad fleshy firework marking the occasion of their demise. For bonus jerk points, Mei's 'Hello' emote can be used to wave goodbye to the improvised corpse rocket, completing the humiliation and making for endless YouTube compilations of Mei cheerfully bidding farewell to her airborne enemies.
