Why should projectiles disappear when you die?

[Saber-13635]

The Overwatch team fixed the problem with Mei’s ultimate disappearing after it’s thrown, which was the most blatantly obvious example of this issue, but Mei is not the only hero that loses plays to this “feature”. Pharah’s rockets, Ana’s nano boost, Tracer’s pulse bomb - so many plays lost because the game deletes projectiles upon death. Is this really necessary? Say what you want about bad positioning/timing, the fact of the matter is that you made a play before you died, it registered on the server, and that play vanished. Disappeared. Poof, out of existence.

This isn’t to be confused with ults depending on the life of the character, like soldier/pharah/reaper; if you die you cant shoot anymore, that’s fair. But a projectile you throw doesn’t care if you’re alive or dead so why should it die with you?

Flashbacks to the endless amount of lost sleep darts.

[PROOF] Projectile Ults blocked by Lag

Hello everyone, Today do I want to prove to everyone that projectile ultimates can disappear after it being cast. That projectile ultimates can disappear mid-air. I’m going to use Mei’s ultimate as an example in this thread because that one has the longest cast time among the projectile ultimates. I will add a TLDR at the bottom of this thread.

Also, If you click on this text with the arrow,

will you see a video about it. I've put it in a 'detail' box to have a cleaner post and to…
