In Overwatch, sometimes the good of the team outweighs the good of a single player.

Reddit user Worros demonstrated just how selfless Overwatch players can (and should) be by saving its entire team from certain disaster with a split-second decision to sacrifice its own life for everyone else's.

Using Reinhardt's charge ability, Worros swiftly took an exploding D.Va mech out of the fray and into an area where nobody would get hurt.

The hero D.Va's ultimate ability can be the single most devastating move in the game, effectively killing every enemy player that is unfortunate enough to be standing next to it. The only way to save yourself is to run away quickly, get behind cover or hide behind Reinhardt's shield.

Worros noticed the tell-tale sign of a self-destructing D.Va coming into the area and leapt into action. With a well-aimed charge, everyone on the team was safe from the blast, and Reinhardt just got his shield up in time to save himself from getting killed too.

D.Va was undoubtedly pissed, but hey, you gotta give it up for Worros's swift thinking and incomparable skills.
