Please stop shooting lamp

It’s in the same boat as zarya bubbles, genji deflects, sigma suckies, doomfist blocks, etc. While sure it might not be AS bad, look at the downsides. You shoot at the silly lamp instead of shooting the enemies. I swear you guys would rather break sym barrier than kill an EMP’d zen.

Don’t shoot lamp
:pray: :weary:

please and thank you
:weary: :pray:

Disagree. If someone is popping a lamp and making use of it, I’m gonna take the 1 second to break it. More often than not, people confuse the “Immortality Field” with “Immune to Damage”. By the time it breaks, they’re usually 1-2 shots from dying. Easy kills once its gone.

If you can break Immortality in less than a second, it’s definitely worth doing. Like if you’re already in turret mode as Bastion you may as well look up for the quarter of a second

But killing it won’t kill an enemy so shoot an enemy instead

Makes me aggresively shake and cry when my teammate shot the lamp :sob: :scream:

Hmmm :hook: :tropical_fish:
My brothers and sisters stand together with me we must resist the temptation.

See? SEE? Even the BAP MAINS agree!

It will enable you to kill the enemy. Otherwise there’s no point In shooting them until it expires.

You make 0 sense why shoot someone that can’t drop below 20% health when you can kill lamp and they die quicker

If you are talking about the bap lamp, then I disagree with this.

You win games if the enemy is dead. Lamp cancels death. Lamp is there to make you lose, in other words. What’s the point of shooting the lamped targets if their not gonna die?

No, shooting the lamp is definetly worth while

Targets in lamp are usually low hp so if you break it you kill them similar to how sometimes when zarya only has 1 bubble and shes 1hp its worth bursting through the bubble and killing her as quickly as possible

Not to mention Lamp can last I think its like 4 seconds if not broken vs less than a second if broken I see no reason to leave it up.

I do the exact opposite when fighting Bap :joy:

I keep him low until the field runs out and then basically one shot him.

What happens when you don’t shoot the lamp. Poor Reaper.

I have spotted Bapt main!

So we leave a deployable alone to get its full value and duration?

What?..what is this mindset?!

While it may be true that they still take “damage” while lamp is deployed it does prevent death, personally I shoot lamp while my team is shooting the players under said lamp. If I’m on Dva, I shoot the lamp and then throw my bomb.

How he gets nothing from it if you get rid of it.
