Overwatch: 9 Jerk Moves You Need To Stop Doing

4. Mei Walling Your Teammates' Ultimates

Once again, Mei's Ice Wall ability is the Overwatch troll's best friend. Just as it can flummox opponents by cutting off the line of fire or sealing off an entrance point, so it can be used to infuriate your teammates. The amateur jerk will settle for throwing Mei's wall up in front of advancing teammates or friendly Bastions in static turret mode, but Mei's signature move can be so much more.

To unlock a real jerk achievement, wait until a friendly D.Va is ready to devastate a closely-packed enemy team with her Self-Destruct ultimate. Then, put up the Ice Wall right next to the exploding mech, absorbing the D.Va ult's damage and shielding the enemy from its shockwave.

As they emerge, ears ringing, from the shelter of your friendly wall, the battlefield rings to curses and admonitions as the D.Va player just wasted her ult.

Mei even has a voice line where she bleats 'Sorry! Sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry!' Because Blizzard knew people were going to do exactly this.
