As stated here, being on fire means you are doing well, and here we see that you can be commended as an MVP for being on fire for a large portion of the time.
This answer shows that destroying non-player things gives you fire points, but what all do I get points from, and how many fire points do I need to be on fire/stay on fire?

    @BlueRaja-DannyPflughoeft that question asks what being on fire means, this question asks about how to stay on fire/gain fire points.

    @twobugs Remember, two distinct questions with similar answers are still two different questions.

To be on Fire, you need at least 250 fire points (fire). Your fire meter can hold infinite fire, but displays 350 as max, and you fire will decay at 5 fire per second.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that killing Junkrat's Rip-Tire gives 50 fire.

  • @Shaffanhoon Possible, I will have to science this again. I'll add a "?" to it for now.

  • @Shaffanhoon I believe that his tire has 100 hp - if you get 50% of elimination damage as fire - 50 fire would only make sense.

  • Dying seems to tank the on-fire meter, is this just due to the natural loss of 5 per second?

  • @Cassius40k for me I usually can stay on fire after dying if I wasn't just barely on fire. Death lasts 10 seconds, so you lose 50 fire to that, plus 5 per how ever many seconds you take to get back to the fight and start getting more fire. I have stayed on fire for an 2 rounds straight on KotH even while dying several times each round, so I think it is due to the natural decay, though it is something that should probably be scienced a bit more.
