How come not all legend abilities disappear when the team dies?

So they finally fixed the caustic gas to disappear when the team is dead. This makes sense as it has always seemed dumb I could kill someone when not in game but this brings up other questions.

When a lifeline puts her drone down or a wattson puts her pylon up, if both their teams die, those items stay usable for the team that is left. There are other examples. Why isnt this consistent through the entire game? It seems like it should be.

  • @hayhor I agree that Wattson and LL's tactical should disappear once their squad is dead. On the other hand, I still like other legends' abilities to stay like Octane's jump pad and Rampart's walls.
  • @hayhor Because they do not deal any damage to the team that won the fight. You could also see it as a reward for them, they got rid of the enemy team and they can use their abilities to recover and reset for a couple of seconds. I like it the way it is now (with gas being removed).

    @Cro_Pittt Makes sense. I assume gibbys and bangalores ults disappear too. I've never really paid attention.
  • @hayhor Yeah, gibby and bang ult always disappear the moment you die. The devs said the gas problem was actually not intended and just a petty bug all this time.

    @BaldWraithSimp Do they? I'm pretty sure i saw yesterday a gibby's ult still up after his team got killed, maybe it doesn't deal any damage? 

  • @hayhor Some of them I definitely think should disappear at the very least the physical ones.. So Ramps walls, wattsons items and so on.

  • @Cro_Pittt From my experience, I always see the gibby ult disappearing from the sky as soon as the gibby team dies like instantly. Like instantly instantly.
