I'm on fire. So?
In Overwatch, there is a meter at the bottom left corner that indicates how "on fire" (as in, doing well, I'm guessing) you are. When it get over an indicated point, your portrait on the tab screen/scoreboard is shown with a fiery background.
Is there an actual gameplay benefit to being on fire?
Best Answer
It pretty much only means that you are "On fire"/"Doing very well". Your portrait is also on fire when it reached the upper limit.
Looking at the scoreboard, you can also see how many of your teammates/enemies are on fire.
Think of it as (If you play Team Fortress 2) that player has a high kill-streak and is one of the more dangerous people on the team.
Currently it doesn't seem to have any effect on the game (Exp, loot, etc), but the developers may change that.
