In regular competitive, I peaked 2880ish in 2019/early 2020, but due to health issues, I haven't been able to play much since March 2020. However, through the power of modern medicine, I have begun to feel a little better and I'm playing more consistently again! Having this channel is a great motivator to play when I'm feeling up to it.

I play on NA, and after the rank reset and some grinding, I'm currently plat 1, and 50% of the way to diamond 5! This game is from season 11, and because I hadn't had much time to play ranked since the season 9 reset, I think I was in plat 4 or 3 during this game and I believe it was an all-plat lobby, if that's useful information for you!
good luck!! you got this! it takes time to learn all the micro decisionmaking that will help you get good results but playing mercy is a skill like anything else. the only way to get better is just to practice intentionally and reflect often on what you're doing! let me know if I can help at all!
Is it weird that I'd rather watch this on RU-vid even though I could watch this in-game myself? lol The most surprising thing, and satisfying thing would be the fact that some of your kills were on the Rein, especially after he killed me and tried to shatter you. "Nice try Rein" or something like that :D
@@Fox808 not weird! i do the same thing lol once I've recorded and posted a game I thought was fun or a good learning moment for me, I just watch it here. probably because I can watch RU-vid in bed
@@Fox808 LISTEN, if they come for my Ana, they get the Glock. if they come for any of my teammates, they're probably getting the Glock. this is not usually a very threatening thing because you can see my aim is bad, but Rein was an even sillier goose than I am and kept walking in a straight line and not punishing me for my bad positioning lol so really, if they get rolled by the mercy, they had it coming 😂 dude that nano was so good and so much fun, I wasn't expecting it at all but IMMEDIATELY knew I couldn't let you down and had to go in
overwatch is truly a cursed game because I DIDNT GET POTG 😭 I got four elims in one team fight but enemy Genji uses blade and gets two and gets play. @aaron keller, wtf man and yeah that sleep dart was nasty, I honestly said out loud, when it happened, "you know what? I can't even be mad about that. that was just a great sleep, I respect that" 😂 thank you!! and thank you for the comment! 💖 I still have so much to learn, but this was truly a silly game of overwatch and I had to memorialize it and share it, and I'm glad you took the time to watch it! that was very kind. getting the notification for your comment made me smile
just kidding, I know it was a massive team diff. my tank, dps, and Ana were absolutely cracked, it was a pleasure to get to play with them! They were randoms but we had a good time ^_^ also, there are MULTIPLE times when I just stand still and yes I was bragging to my team about managing to contribute to the elims LOL I keep rewatching my first death and I feel so silly lol you can clearly see friendly Cass fall back to the rest of the team but I just didn't notice it and assumed they fell back the other way so I wanted to stay with them. but because I didn't pay attention, I put myself in a bad position and died for it and that's 100% on me. need to work on that!
@@MingMing-jw9to hi! honestly, my first advice is avoid taking the 1v1 as much as you can in the first place. nine times out of ten, you're better off wasting their time. you can still beam your teammates while GAing around and wasting their time - you will be helping your team while they're uselessly trying to Glock you, aka you're contributing to the fight, they are not. however, if you're forced into a situation where you have to take the 1v1 like I was in this highlight, the best way to be prepared is being comfortable with crouch spamming (which makes your movement unpredictable and makes you harder to hit) and practicing your aim. the custom workshop code VAXTA is great for practicing your aim on any hero!
@@sethescope Okay !! Tysm for your advice :3 I’ll practise my aim because even though I’m a good Widow I somehow can’t land a single shot as Mercy. Usually I pull out my glock when an enemy Mercy starts it so I want to be precise on how I kill her. I always lose my 1v1s and it’s kinda sad because they always t-bag me. I’m gonna start crouch spamming from now on but whenever a Mercy comes to me I get nervous and end up whiffing badly.
struggling with Mercy's Glock even though you're a great widow makes total sense to me! it's a projectile, for starters, but the situations when you use it as Mercy are just completely different than when you're playing Widow! practicing with it will definitely help you feel more confident handling situations when they come up. I have a lot of Thoughts about Mercy Gameplay but I'll try to keep it short. using the Glock is situational. personally, I am not quick to use it, partially because my aim is bad but also because I feel more confident about my ability to contribute with damage boost over accomplishing anything with the pistol. that is partially a play style thing. once you're more comfortable and confident with your aim on Mercy, you might choose to be more active with the pistol than I do and that's okay. it's all about timing. for instance, is chasing enemy Mercy (or anyone else) with the pistol REALLY worth your time? when you're shooting, you're not beaming your teammates. that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, but you should have a specific goal in mind when you use it and either (1) be able to accomplish your goal quickly or (2) know when to give up so you can get back to beaming. sometimes yes it's worth the trade off! I pull the Glock out of my Zarya gravs and I'm in a good position to follow up, especially if I'm already valking because I can maneuver around any shields and hit some head shots (bc they're in a grav and can't move LMAO that really helps with my accuracy). if there's a widow who isn't paying attention to me and my team isn't able to challenge them, then I'll get a sneaky angle and get the elim while they're scoped in OR at least chase them away from their advantageous position. sometimes I'll shoot at enemy Mercy just to make them GA into a bad position or just distract them. just forcing out a cool down or forcing someone out of a good position is a great way to contribute! but it's all about timing and knowing when you're better off helping a teammate who wants to off angle or help keep your other support alive or help them keep the tank alive. some other tips I was thinking about earlier today are: 1. don't be afraid to get in their face and finish them off with melees. getting up close can scare them and mess up their own aim. but don't get up close when that gives the enemy the advantage (aka don't try to get close in a 1v1 with a reaper, pls learn from my mistakes lol). 2. if you get low, don't be afraid to take a breather and heal someone who is missing HP because you self heal from that. you can always finish the 1v1 later. 3. you don't have to shoot back immediately when enemy mercy starts shooting. try to bait them away from their team and towards yours. this means your team is more likely to notice and react, and even if you don't get the elim, you will have forced the mercy into a bad position which might get them killed which means both teams are down a mercy. 4. good positioning will help you with every problem in overwatch, including overly aggressive enemy mercys. if you're in a good spot with a lot of cover and escape routes, then enemy Mercy has to invest a lot more time and take a much bigger risk trying to go for you. if you're near cover and duck behind it when they start going for you, then you have forced them to leave their team's LOS in order to get to you. this means they can't get healed, they can't get bubbled or pulled. if you always play near health packs, then it's not one 250hp mercy vs another 250hp mercy. you essentially will have twice the hp, which again increases the time enemy mercy needs to invest in you AKA it's okay if you miss a lot of shots because enemy mercy will need to hit a lot more shots than you in order to get the elim
don't worry, I typically lose mercy 1v1s too, and it feels so bad every time lol but that's why planning in advance is so important! so what if enemy mercy tries to go for you if you're already near cover, in LOS of your other support or near a health pack, and if you already know what you want to do in this exact situation? and you don't need to win the 1v1 if you can just not take the 1v1 in the first place, which is my usual approach. 99% of the time, you're contributing way more to your team's success by strategically damage boosting and healing people when they need it even if you could get the elim every time on enemy mercy because damage boost means ult charge for you and your team (and enemies will die faster) and healing means keeping people alive and gives you ult charge.
Thank you so much. I was wondering why the enemy Mercies keep killing me :c it’s probably because when we 1v1 we were close to her team so her other support healed her. I tried luring one of them close to my team but even when I tried that my team ignored me completely and I ended up dying to her while she ga’d back to her team :,) idk what im gonna do but I will try to use my glock more situationally than I did before. Cause before when I saw a Mercy coming at me it was an immediately Q and start wiffing my shots. :c
@sethescope haha I remember you very much lol. I've been alright. I'm still on youtube I just don't make content much anymore. I have loved being able to play with the pink mercy skin though.
@dankdilly YESSSSSS did you get the regular pink mercy or rose gold or both? I managed to exercise some self control and only got the rose gold one because I'm trying to save some money lol I was impressed by myself
BIG shoutout to Turdmaster from this game. I still remember how great of a tank they were and how wholesome they were. I think they said something like "support carry" at the end of the game, which was very kind but not true. Kiriko and I played well, Kiriko hit the biggest suzus ive seen in a while, but it was a team diff.
haha I wish! this game was a while ago but I do remember somehow missing all of my shots on the sigma because I'm bad LOL but I did get a third person! I don't remember who it was, most likely their other support because I valked away from their sombra but I'm not 100% sure edited: thank you for commenting btw! it made me smile to see this :)
Making opponents rage gives all of us more power 😎💪 thanks for the comment :D hopefully we will play together again sometime! and this time, on the same team!
thanks for the comment! :) this was quick play so I don't know what the average comp rank was, but I'm in diamond/plat occasionally and I do these plays in comp too 😁 they never expect a mercy in their faces!
@@sethescope Don't worry about this one, for some people a rank is all they have in life while others actually have lives. Keep having fun in this GAME. Looks like you got that down already though.
you're very kind! I don't let silly geese like this guy get me down :) as long as I'm having fun, I'm winning at the game, I truly believe that. life is too short to care very much about a rank in a game. I get sad when I derank, ofc, I'm only human 😅 but it's really all about the fun and the friends I make along the way!
I just came here to tell you I did it! I was like "I bet he would be proud of me" I hit GM1 in role que playing solo, mostly one tricking Mercy and you are awesome so I know you can do it to! I also just knew before watching this was gonna have that funny 1v1 mercy fight at the end! Lmao
@sethescope that's sweet of you lol. You been playing comp any? I hit GM1 and then had the worst games and went down to gm3 and had to earn it back again so now I'm low-key scared to grind again cuz it was hard to get again so I might grind the flag mode or open que comp now. I said the word again too much lol
i haven't been! I actually got top surgery last week so for the past couple of months, I had been focused on that and now I'm recovering from it so it'll be a bit before I'm up to playing again. but! hopefully then I will be ready to grind some comp. I got a new PC in December and finally set it up so I'll be able to play the game WITHOUT lagging, if you can believe it lol
3:25 it's been a while since this game, but I genuinely do think I lagged a bit here. up until this point, my PC had been remarkably well behaved, and I've done more than my share of pepega plays, but I really do think I lagged here a bit. not that I think it matters because we died pretty fast that fight, but still! I swear I'm not THAT bad 😅 8:35 I thought I heard enemy Soldier move further away and the existence/meaning of the biotic field didn't fully register in my brain until it was too late lol I think the res MAY have been survivable if I hadn't twisted around the corner into enemy Soldier. if I had stayed on my teams side of that wall, I might have been okay, but i was worried about being too exposed on the payload side. I also probably should have expected Soldier to stick around? but at the same time, it had been a few seconds since my Soldier died and I assumed enemy Soldier would have gone back to his team by then because they might have expected me to go for it sooner, but at the same time, I don't know. I don't know if staying in the flank (if that can really be called a flank based on the payloads location) was the right decision from a dps perspective, so I don't know if that's something I need to expect more or less of. but lately, in general, I've been getting sloppy with resses like this. I need to be even more patient and more careful. BUT I think going for that res was a good idea. I didn't go for it in the right way, but I think wanting that res and going for it was the highest impact play. I just needed to be more patient and more tactical. 9:28 this is nitpicky, but I think I could have committed to damage boost a little harder here. yes, soldier was low, and I healed them because I was worried they were going to die and I wouldn't have res for them, but I think they would have been okay. it's not the end of the world by any means and I think I did do a good job of largely prioritizing damage boost so we could successfully punish enemy Queen's aggression. despite how long it's been since I've played consistently, my damage boost instincts have survived remarkably well, imo. 9:50 I have no idea why I'm healing my full hp soldier here. no idea. I was just on autopilot, which is embarrassing because in general, I think I do a good job of immediately switching to damage boost once someone is either full hp or I've gotten them close enough that damage boost is higher value. (will edit with more comments when I have the chance!)
Wow that was intense and this vid is popping off on views lol. That mercy was so silly lol I don't get why a lot of mercys try to kill the other mercy, especially since a lot of them kinda suck at confirming the kill in my experience.
I don't understand it either! after watching their full pov, I think it was the result of feeling like their team wasn't doing enough against the widow and this was right at the end of the match so we all sometimes do especially silly stuff that the end of a match, but overall, I think this person just wasn't sure what to do as Mercy, if that makes sense. watching their entire pov was very interesting and I'd be down to share the replay code (if it's still valid, idk when the most recent patch will happen) so you can see what I mean. they just seemed very lost and on autopilot. it was like they had a very short "to do" list as Mercy and when they ran out of those things or when they didn't think those things were working, they didn't know what to do. they were super jumping on cool down too, which felt like a bad idea given the enemy widow, but then again, widow wasn't really making their life terribly difficult so I cant blame them for doing something that wasn't being punished. they were trying to damage boost a little bit when they didn't see anyone who was low, which was good, and even though all they did was do the basic, highest super jump, clearly they had mastered that basic form and were confident with it, so hopefully they stick with it and start delving into the subtleties of the hero I feel like I've been having the same experience as everyone else, where the matchmaking has been wonky, but on the opposite side -- I get all the good teams 😂 because I've watched the pov of a couple of enemy Mercys and maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better lol but it has seemed that the Mercy matchup has been unfair I'm not saying I'VE been insanely good or anything, but the difference between someone who has experience with the game and experience with the hero and someone who is newer to the game or role or hero is very obvious. so idk what that's about. I'm sure it'll even out over time, though but omg dude going after me was probably their better idea. they had spent the last couple of minutes trying to go after my widow who I was ACTIVELY healing and protecting lol it was pretty funny watching this moth with a pea shooter trying to go after the widow who was never in any danger of dying lol and once they tried to go after my Lucio, which was even less productive
@sethescope yes I feel like Mercy can be really hard to kill so ppl give up on her and just try to kill her team and even ignore who she is pocketing after a while which is why I usually stop pocketing and heal the others until my "pocket hero" is getting hurt again lol. Yes the matchmaking is wonky but I finally hit master in role que and GM5 in open que mostly one tricking mercy and solo queuing so I'm happy. I didn't grind role que as much this season though because my support partner is 5 tiers lower than me so I didn't want us to not he able to que anymore but I might try to solo climb in role que next season idk lol, but the open que experience started getting annoying near the end because I would get blamed for picking mercy in goats even though I climbed myself up solo queuing as her so they need to respect that and take responsibility for their own actions and gameplay and accept that sometimes the enemy is just way better than them and it has nothing to do with me lol.
uhh you're literally a god tier gamer and I have nothing but respect for one (1) mercy icon. that's huge! good for you! that takes serious work and commitment and focus, and hell fucking yeah, you did it! yeah, I..... I judge people who are like "I want my team of randos to play my very specific, ancient team comp and I'm gonna get mad when someone has the nerve to refuse because clearly they are the ones with the problem and there is no way I am setting myself up for frustration and failure by demanding or expecting people to do as I tell them" like..... come on lol don't get me wrong, obviously it's always okay to ask someone if they play something else or if they would be comfortable swapping. literally nothing wrong with asking politely. but if someone says no, they've said no, and the onus is on the asker to make the right decision based on the situation at hand. I am hopeful that my new computer comes soon and that my pain continues in its seemingly positive direction so I can hop into comp soon! I still have a lot of practicing to do and I want to get a lot more experience under my belt before I go back to comp, but it'll be nice for comp to be an option again soon ☺️
@@dankdilly you are very generous and kind 💖 I've been so surprised by my teammates lately! sure, I do think I did mostly good Mercy things in this game (there was one panic valk and it's very embarrassing LOL it was RIGHT after/during when my team killed three and then I was just hovering for a good long while 😂), but! our sigma just refused to die, I don't know if they knew how to die lol. I would spend a lot of time with Widow and then look over, and yeah they could use some healing and I'd go do that but I never felt like I had to abandon my widow who was getting hard focused by enemy tracer and then mercy too in order to keep Sigma alive so we could keep the robot moving. I feel like I've had a lot of tanks and teams like this recently. granted! I don't play on weekends or during the evening. I did once and it was a nightmare, I went 3-8 and every game felt like punishment lol so I think I am picking times when blizzard will put me on good teams and not frustrating ones
of course I did! haha. you gotta understand, this Mercy had been trying to come for my widow and I for a few minutes at that point, even wasting their entire ultimate twice by trying to pistol the Widow who survived because I was protecting them and healing them. (Normally I don't babysit widows so hard because they can be more independent and damage boost doesn't get as much value with them because they can one shot on their own, but enemy Tracer had been on their ass since the beginning of the match and our Sigma was doing an amazing job surviving on his own and with Lucio's help when needed, so I stayed with Widow a lot) and then! this Mercy just completely abandons their team to try and kill me instead of being with their team for the last fight AND (most importantly) I manage not to panic for once and I manage to defend myself? hell yeah I'm going to tbag 😎 listen, I need to celebrate the times I actually win the 1v1, I usually lose 😅 let me have this haha
@@sethescope i didn't quite expect myself the wall of text, but told like this seems legit enough, even if it's visible there is some angery for the past game involved into this comment
@@spaghettiisalie6226 i apologize if it came across as anger or frustration - that wasn't my intent, but I'm sure there are things I could have phrased differently to make my intent clearer and prevent miscommunication. it can be really difficult to communicate 100% clearly by text alone, and sometimes I forget to be as clear as possible. it's something I'm working on. I'm sorry if the length of reply was startling - I'm just a big nerd about Mercy in general and I actually enjoyed this game a lot! this is exactly what someone who was mad would say, but genuinely, I wasn't frustrated by your comment or frustrated about this game. being able to win this 1v1 was a big highlight for me for many reasons. I feel like I proved I was the better Mercy because I was focused on my team and only took the 1v1 when I put myself into a bad position and didn't have another choice, so my tbagging was me saying "this is what happens when you abandon your team, you get rolled" obviously that doesn't come across in the highlight, but that is how I felt. I appreciate that you took the time to comment so I wanted to take you and your comment seriously instead of being a dick or just ignoring you. you chose to watch a Mercy video so you can't be all bad, so I think there's nothing wrong with explaining why I tbagged. at worst, you disagree and never watch another one of my videos, and I can live with that. at best, maybe we learn something from each other, even if it is something small and maybe not even related to overwatch.
Hey, congrats on the win. If you want some advice from a hardstuck gold 2 mercy. I noticed something in this video gameplay that you could improve, try to be behind cover and peeking while healing allies in the middle of a teamfight. By focusing on maintaining the overall fight awarness you can ping for your team important threats that they cannot see as they are tunnel visioning. I enjoyed your movement for the most part (not when you were in the middle of the fight GA in between the enemy), but try adding some more verticality to it with the crouch button in the GA, also you would benefit from a but more short ga super jumps to maitain awarness of the field and always look for the best position. Just commenting on this one video gameplay as I have not checked the others yet. But well done being a big factor in the team winning the match
first of all, I want to thank you for clicking on my video in the first place!! that's huge and it makes me happy. and thank you also for commenting at all + writing such a positive and helpful comment. you took time out of your day to help a homie out and that's wholesome and lovely 💖 i always appreciate advice! even if it's something I already know, it's always helpful to hear it from someone else because it helps reinforce it in my brain and also reminds me and I will hopefully end up doing it haha I'm torn about super jumping more in general because I have been a dumdum so many times and gotten myself headshot before by super jumping unnecessarily. but if I'm sure there's no widow, maybe it would be a helpful tactic! I'll think more about this when I'm next able to play and see if it feels like I'm able to use it successfully. it might be the right move, but my awareness has been poopy lately so it might be better for me to focus on the fundamentals and not get fancy until I'm ready for it. but we'll see haha I was on a MASSIVE losing streak when I was last able to play. I think I won three times and lost 8-9 lol so I don't feel very confident about my ability to incorporate more advanced things like super jumping for the specific purpose of scouting ....... hopefully this made sense? and I want to be clear that I'm not trying to say you're wrong AT ALL. regardless of your rank, you are still more than capable of analyzing gameplay and seeing problems and identifying potential solutions. I'm just not sure where I'm at or what I'm capable of focusing on and implementing. my big boy job has been busier lately, which is great for my bank account but bad for overwatch :( thank you again!!
OMG YES I WOULD LOVE THAT. my battle tag is sethescope #1704 (at least I think so lol). I don't play very much because Health Issues so if we could make plans for a specific day and time that would be really helpful for me, just so I can set aside time and resources for it 💖
2:09 I actually wouldn't have gone for the rez here! There was plenty of time on the rez counter left and the Junker Queen was very low hp. I would have whipped my GLOCK out and shot a little bit. Waiting until the very low Junker Queen was dead would have been the safer option in my opinion in order to prevent getting stunned out of it by her knife ability. It all worked out nicely though, so there was no issue here ^_^ 2:31 LMFAOOO YOU LOOK SO LOST. LOOK AT YOUR TEAMS POSITIONING. EACH PLAYER IN A DIFFERENT CONTINENT LOLOL 3:54 your positioning here makes my gamesense hairs stand on end! O_O I like how ballsy you are for taking space in the open, but my rule of thumb for positioning as mercy is "I do not need to see the enemy." It usually helps me stay out of these risky open spots. 4:48 you SNEAKY???!!! HOW did you get away with that? you gave the queen a KISS!!!! HAHAHA <3
I'll respond to all of this once I rewatch the video, but okay real talk I did not know queen's knife ability could stun you LMAO I should really spend time learning the new abilities so I can make better decisions 😅
I'm on mobile so I can't pay attention and watch at the same time as I'm typing a comment, so I'm going to edit this one several times instead of spamming you lol you make a really good point re: 2:09. my lack of knowledge about junker queen's abilities aside, an ongoing issue I have is, overall, I'm really impatient and if there's someone to res, I generally want to res immediately, which as you rightly point out isn't always necessary or the best idea. I may have gotten away with it in this fight, but there are fights where I don't get away with it lol I think my plan moving forward is to make an effort to ask myself, consistently and throughout each game, "does the enemy have any abilities that can cancel res?". that will at least give me a place to start. LMAO YEAH. I remember being so glad that the team was really aggressive and constantly pushing, but then I was like "oh no someone needs to push the robot and I think I'm the only one aware of the robot's existence right now" lmao i was so glad when orisa came back from spawn, I hate sitting on the objective as Mercy, I always feel so useless lol. I also genuinely don't know how push really works, so I was like "uhhh, is it like a payload and you have to be near it for it to move? ... oh, yeah, it is, okay...." 3:54 you have a good point! I believe my intention was to create an alternate angle and act as a distraction so the enemy would have to choose between shooting my team or me, which isn't in theory a bad idea because it can sometimes be the right move, BUT in this instance, I was mostly kind of panicking and getting to cover felt like it would take too long and someone would die in the meantime and it'd be my fault, etc. taking time to reflect on what you said will definitely help in the future to reduce and prevent panicking I like to think the queen just felt bad for me lol like "oh I can't kill him, he's just doing his best, it would be cruel" 😂 but yeah I have no idea, she did not seem to know I existed lol it was pure luck
@@sethescope thanks for responding to my comment but really quick i wanna clarify that junker queen CANT cc(stun). what i meant was her knife can potentially pull you out of the resurrection range and cancel the rez. you weren't oblivious dont worry haha. i actually think you do quite well even when your teammates aren't really doing much, you're always kinda IN there. I get bored playing mercy and will wander off to try and kill something T_T (probably why i dont play mercy much)
@@nhyawn oh okay thank you for that extra clarification 😅 I appreciate you taking the time to explain and also to comment!! 💖 and tbh, mercy is a weird hero, compared to the rest of the support lineup, in terms of play style. she doesn't have a lot of tools to do stuff to the enemy team directly, and I totally understand how that could be a little boring sometimes or to some degree. so there's no judgment here 💖
@@nhyawn btw, I forgot to say thank you for watching my video 💖 it's very kind of you!! and it made my day that you were interested enough to leave really really helpful feedback that I will do my best to remember and learn from!
omg thank you!! 💖 I was really proud of that one and it makes me so happy you liked it too. I'm not the best at tempo valks, I don't always know how many people are alive on either team lol but I remember very clearly being like "okay, I can see a couple of my teammates in front of me, I saw at least a couple of enemies go around the corner, I have my ult, maybe this is the moment I guess??" 😂 I was just really glad Zarya and Genji were so aggressive because this valk worked since they were pressing W into the enemies, unlike the game I have queued for next Monday where my team was very hesitant to push and despite knowing that, I repeatedly valked aggressively 😩 as though somehow my team would magically change and be more aggressive w/o me communicating in any way lol have you had a chance to play ow2? if so, have you been enjoying 5v5 and also the Mercy changes (just pressing crouch during GA to super jump instead of the old SJ)?
@@sethescope Valk timing is honestly pretty tricky in my opinion it is easy to time it bad because it's a subtle ult I feel. I actually like her in OW2 but I miss the 6v6, the instant superjump, the old hud for who she is healing, and the old maps. I still want to perfect OW2 mercys movement more but superjumping in valks work really well for contesting points and I personally think that Mercys value in OW2 is very underrated (she is usually said to be bottom tier of the supports) because the teams are mostly squishies and she is kinda the best at healing those but I do feel forced to healbot more than I thought I would in OW2 but I tend to get atleast a 1000 damage Amp in there when I am forced to heal a lot so it's not too bad I guess lol.
@@dankdilly 1000 damage boosted on top of all the healing is massive!! you're cracked tbh - I'd love to see some of your games if you ever felt like uploading them but NO pressure whatsoever ☺️ I feel the same way about mercy in ow2!! like you said, the team is mostly squishies. I also think Mercy and Kiriko are good together but it's possible I'm just biased because more often than not, they make sure to cleanse me if I get purpled or something so of course I will like playing with that hero 😅
@@sethescope Idk If I'm that great honestly lol, I definitely don't play her to pocket often unless I feel like I have to because of a pharah or Echo pick on the team lol, but damage boosting the tank is pretty nice in OW2 because sometimes they are a huge carry to the team and do a lot of damage. I might post some content for OW2 but idk, I haven't posted in so long! Lol
@Dank:Dilly tanks are always a great damage boost target!! I firmly believe that every ally is a good damage boost target depending on the situation. a highly charged Zarya who is pressing W, a roadhog who has hooked someone (especially when they've hooked a tank who can't be killed by hog's hook combo), etc, are all awesome to damage boost. if your dps aren't getting value, damage boost someone else 🤷♂️ there's no reason to waste resources just because some dummies out there think mercy's job is "pocket the dps" you should post videos!!! there's no time like the present to start again 😁 i didn't post anything for, like, two full years before beginning to post a couple of highlights in May. I would love to watch your games and tell you how much of an awesome mercy player you are ☺️💖 AND there's no obligation to be super duper consistent and upload every week or every few days. I think RU-vid can be a fun hobby, and hobbies stop being fun when you force yourself to do them when you're not feeling like it also, I don't play a ton of games, I literally will play 3-4 in one sitting and usually one or two of them are decent enough that I'll upload them. and I certainly don't edit them lol so it doesn't have to be labor intensive. right now I don't have much energy because of work so I haven't made thumbnails for this video and next week's. TLDR if you're interested in it, I will always watch everything you post, and you don't need to invest more time and energy in it than what makes you happy. and it's also okay if you don't feel like doing it 💖 I just wanted to encourage you because I like watching your games and how our play styles differ because I have learned a lot from how safely you play and your ability to prioritize who needs healing.
it's understandable to miss it! I might not miss it in general, but I do like the feeling of being..... I can't think of the word, responsible for the whole team's survival? it's definitely a healer mood, and I don't hate those moments, and playing with a Zen does offer more of those moments of healing. yet at the same time, when I get a good Zen (shameless plug for my video called damage boost your zenyatta), I'll just damage boost Zen because the team doesn't need healing if the enemies are all dead lol this is sort of a joke but I do mean it: I like to think of damage boost as preventative healing lol because the enemies can't do damage to your teammates when they're in spawn lol BUT that's not to say you're Wrong for liking your own play style. idk if we've talked about this, but I hate the main/off support framework when it comes to talking about Mercy because it doesn't work. she's both and yet also neither, there's a lot of different ways to play her while still ultimately providing equal value. even in the same game with the same support comp, you can play in different ways. with a zen for example, in a single game, you might go hard on damage boost for attack but then contribute equal value on defense by healing more because that's what your team ends up needing more of. she's super flexible and that's why I love my queen also!! good on you for using damage boost even though you prefer to play a more healer style of support. it can be hard to go against your instincts and what you want to/would rather be doing, but you're doing it anyway to help your team in the moments when they don't need as much healing. that's pog imo!
@@sethescope haha your fine I'm subbed to you to lol, but yeah I love starting out fights with damage boost but many fights look rough so I start healing more until everything looks fine because I've seen way too many times that a tank dies to something just because they are half but I know they would have lived if I helped them more I guess but im also more biased to tanks I just like them a lot lol. I try to think of damage boost like you do to it feels nice when who you are boosting actually gets picks but I get annoyed because often we aren't getting picks so I feel I get more value filling up the team first just in case we do get a pick so we are full and ready to rush I guess. Damage boost can definitely be fun sometimes but I think I just like the consistency and feel of the heal beam where the blue beam is not consistent if that makes sense, like I wish I enjoyed damage boost more because I one trick her pretty hard.
@@dankdilly I'm 100% with you on damage boosting when the teammate isn't getting picks or even necessarily hitting anything 😂 I'll stick with them for a little while because sometimes they seem to legitimately be breaking shields and just because that doesn't show up in my stats doesn't mean anything. HOWEVER, that's uncommon, at least for me, and if I'm not getting the serotonin from the tick sound, then I'm outta there lol you make a good point and I think you're absolutely right. if you're not getting value from one thing, you should do something else. I feel like that is the only real rule in overwatch. I get a little tilted when I see Bad Takes by support players who are like "mercy should NEVER do anything except hold the dps players hands" because that's extremely bad advice and it ignores Mercy's role as a TEAM support. sure, maybe a lot of value is contributed one way, but if the team needs healing, just heckin' heal your team lol there's nothing wrong with it! it's one of a support's jobs. I feel like people run into trouble when they just go to the extremes of "don't ever heal" and "only heal" but I'm glad you and I have big brains and are comfortably in the middle
@@dankdilly also yeah.... I'm biased towards tanks too haha. although I run into a lot of lovely dps players, on the whole, tanks tend to understand the way tanks and supports need to work together. nothing makes me feel more appreciated than when a Winston drops bubble for a res or dva DMs me. what is it about getting DMed that makes it feel like getting a hug, I s2g
thanks for boosting engagement on my channel! 💖 I appreciate it so much. your view and comment affect the algorithm and increase the likelihood other people will watch the video, so you've really helped me out here. I appreciate you, friend!
@@sethescope Great maybe you'll be able to afford to walk outside and touch some grass. You have to troll for the attention you can't seem to get from silently being mediocre at Overwatch. Hopefully you'll get the confidence to get a real job one day rather than rotting away at your parents house being a leach.
to be fair, my team was destroying the enemy team 😅 they didn't even get a tick, so I didn't need to get aggressive like that. I was genuinely valking to get to Dva faster, but she flew away and we had an Ana so.... you know.... sometimes you gotta do it lol I was very proud of how I moved a lot when I was shooting her and not just staying in one place! that's something I do SO MUCH and it gets me killed so much, so I'm very slowly learning lol
@@dankdilly neither do I, generally. maybe I would do it more if I had better aim so I would be confident I could contribute something, but my aim is bad and I prefer healing and damage boosting because, for me, I build ult more reliably and damage boosting helps two people build ult, not just me. I don't do math good (😂) so I can't be confident about this, but I feel like, aside from specific situations, damage boosting would *always* be better than using the pistol just because two people are benefiting. but it also takes time to switch between staff and pistol, and that little pause could mean someone dies. but like I said, I don't do math so my grasp of all the numbers involved could be wrong
