How do I get rid of Zenyatta's Orb of Discord?
What hero abilities can get rid of Zenyatta's Orb of Discord? Supposedly it has a tracking time of 3 seconds where it will disappear if the Zen cannot maintain LOS to the discorded player, but is hiding behind a wall the only way I can remove the Orb of Discord, or are there other abilities that can manually remove it once it's been applied?
Best Answer
According to the wiki,
The orb of discord returns after 3 seconds if not in vision.
So to get rid of it, you can run out of his line of sight for 3 seconds. Alternatively dying also removes the orb of discord, but is somewhat counter-productive. Also, if you kill the Zenyatta, the orb will go away, though it can be risky since you will take extra damage while fighting him.
Note: An orb of discord cannot be placed on someone behind a shield, so if you stay behind one, you won't have to worry about getting one.
Also, as @uni and @yuuki mentioned, some abilities can remove the orb from you.

Answer 2
Tracer's Recall ability removes Zenyatta's Orb of Discord and, technically, Mei's Ice Wall can remove it by breaking line-of-sight. Reaper's Wraith Form will also remove Orb of Discord.
