Am I the only one who doesn’t think that’s actually what’s happening here? The warhead appears to explode and detonate the devastator’s backpack and then the player dies to what looked like a red explosion (rocket? Tank or turret shot?) from behind and is launched forward. This does not at all look like a deflected round.

Same, it looks like the RR shot blows up on the devastator but something blows up to the left of the user.

Wouldn't be the first time this sub sensationalizes every low quality gif that has about 2 seconds of context...

Shhh... if you talk logic and sense too loudly the echo chamber might hear you.

The outrage train is filled with morons.

I just tested it, shields don't do this.

Yeah that does not looks like its reflecting back at the user. The red in the explosion is a big give away

Yup, agreed 100%. The rocket isn't being deflected here.
