Last night, I got play of the game as Reinhardt in a game of Quickplay.
How did that happen? Let's see here... I:
- went Tracer at the start of the game
- was trying to get kills but kept dying
- freaked out when I looked like I leaped off into the bottom of the map when I died for the 5th time because a loving D.Va's self-destruct got me from somewhat far away when I was above some platform (not that close to the edge that leads to the bottom) and I thought I was safe
- switched to Reinhardt in anger
- went on a rampage and destroyed 3 people (first I charged, pinned and killed some Reaper, then I went full barbarian on that D.Va and her mech [killed them both], and then I killed an Ana), and some Torbjorn's mech
- died only 1-2 times as Reinhardt, but we won and I got play of the game
It was quite an interesting game. After that game, I played a few more times (went Bastion on the next game, and then Tracer after that game), got off and went to sleep.
Note to self: if you die a few times then just go Reinhardt and everything will be
fine.
EDIT: Now I wish I had recorded that 5th death.
