#Defense

Switching mid-fight focus to protect a backline ally from a diving threat.

Stepping into cover to break enemy sightlines, forcing a reset of incoming damage and lock-on abilities.

Using a defensive ability (not an ult) to absorb an enemy ultimate, making it score zero kills.

Using your own hitbox to block an enemy sightline or path, absorbing damage or cutting off an escape route.

A composition built around peel — Brig, Lucio, etc. — that turns the enemy's dive into a one-way trip.

An ultimate used to save teammates and reset a losing fight rather than to secure kills — Transcendence, Sound Barrier, Tree of Life, and similar.

Positioning that forces the enemy to over-invest resources to secure a kill — making your death too costly to be worth pursuing.
