Today we have a Mercy player who peaked at Masters but then fell to Gold. They originally did the classic blaming their teammates, but once they started focusing on themself they climbed back up to Plat. What's really preventing this player from getting back to Masters?

@wusaint 27 дней назад

Not trying to state the obvious here but you're doing yourself no favors one tricking Mercy. It's no secret that she's one of the worst supports in the game right now unfortunately. The higher you climb the worst she is. With that said, there are a few things that can get you out of the metal ranks fairly easy. I noticed the 2nd point (especially defense) you were flying a bit in the open too often. Especially trying to save that bastion that was over extended. Screw it, let him die. It's better to lose him than you too. Next up, questionable res attempts. I personally won't go for a res unless I'm at least 90% certain I can get the res off. The final two tips I have kinda go hand in hand and both deal with comms. First up, as support simply calling out important cool downs can make or break a game. Moira no fade, Orisa no gold, Bap no lamp, etc.... As someone that plays as much tank as I do support I REALLY appreciate the help. Playing a more passive support like Mercy it's so much easier to do this as you usually have a great view of everyone. Ult tracking is obviously important so that goes without saying. Last tip, use Valk as an engagement tool. Tell your team, let's walk with Valk. Too many Mercy mains use Valk purely as a defensive/reactionary measure. It's actually quite powerful as an engagement tool. If you're team is fully healthy and has their cooldowns walking in with them all damage boosted can quite often roll the other team for that fight. Or you'll end up baiting out other important ults. Hopefully this all helps. Best of luck ✌️

Oh also, watch your own vods after a match where you think, "I don't know what more I could have done." I promise you you will always find mistakes if you're being honest and objective with yourself. I was hard stuck Silver. Started watching my replays and critiquing myself. Shot up to diamond in a month.

Also having watched only half the vid I would say you could definietly focus on being more mobile and when team fights break down you're spending a LOT of time in the open in front of enemies diving around instead of trying to bounce from cover to cover.

@frutiebalutie 28 дней назад

I'm so glad to hear it wasn't just me thinking I was struggling more than usual with Mercy. I've never played so much Zen in my Overwatch life until now. I have practically mastered Mercy's movements and unless there's a Sombra (which there almost always is now), I almost never die. Too often my power boosted DPS can't kill their 1:1 opponent and my alternative support isn't pocketing my tank. I averaged plat before the 1-5 rank system changes and now i can't get out of silver and it's mind numbing to watch my teams outrageous positioning.

@IllTakeThisName 28 дней назад

Yeah I quit trying to play her on competitive since like season 2. You're at best pocketing a DPS to do 30% more than a similarly skilled enemy DPS, but even that's is a negative tradeoff if the opposing support slot can just do way more than 30% of your pocketed DPS's damage. Say they do 10,000 damage a match, you boosted 30% of that so theyre at 13k. I guarantee you the enemy support is going to do more than 3k damage. And at worst you're outputting healing that's much lower than the enemies damage output, and boosting people who cant hit the side of a wall slowly losing until the map ends. The only unique factor is a revive, which only really works if the enemy team is bad, or you do that obnoxious 10k DPI spinning. It's just a lose lose scenario and I wish people would play any other hero in my games lmao.

@megayikes9716 27 дней назад

@@IllTakeThisName well I wouldn't say mercy was useless since season 2 that is a stretch. the damage boost also contributes to mercy's ult build up and really good balance between damage boost and healing makes her ult charge like crazy fast, its just a shame that her ult not that great with the dps debuff. But she was certainly a viable or even a good pick in seasons prior even up to a gm level. And the damage boost did not just help boost your teams overall damage output. It made the damage they were providing at the giving time secure a kill or build ult charge. I played mcree with pocket many times and it did really help having that extra boost to one or two shot a target or fan the hammer a tank to death. Sure it realise on your team mates but being able to identify who is the best person the boost at a given time was part of a skill in which mercy players had to be very good at. Damage boost was not only her greatest asset as it was the movement that could clutch out a win. I have been in a game where our mercy survived in illios well for her teammates to die and come back. When I watched it back I felt motion sick from watching our mercy's perspective and I play tracer. It was insane, and undoubtedly won us the round and later the game itself. And this was at gm level. I don't think she was always bad, I just think she needs a little bit of help at the moment to compensate the dps debuff affect.

@mermerx4729 23 дня назад

she's complete crap rn. every single solo q mercy main thats gm/t500 every season since 2016 is peaking masters at best rn. play another hero until she's reworked/buffed is my advice. good luck!

@K1llb0t 21 день назад

Honestly if you pick mercy in anything below plat you'll get shit tons of value simply because the enemy team can't shoot you back and you'll be able to live almost the entire game if you have somewhat decent mechanical movements. Heal botting in low ranks as mercy or in general any support is not really an awful strat since the enemies aren't going to shoot you anyway and the burst damage dealt is really low, so the healings can back it up. So i would give up the damage boost for now and just focus primarily on healing. I know it's not how mercy is supposed to be played but if it works for the bottom ladder then why not

@KoiPuff 27 дней назад

So I’m a GM Mercy and this Mercy is better than Gold but they’re not Masters level. High Diamond probably. Things they can work on are faster decision making and flicking to Damage Boost faster. They heal and then hold healing on a full target for a solid two seconds before switching back to DB. It’s also little things like knowing Illari Pylon is healing your target so you can focus DB instead.

@WeebSara 27 дней назад

It seems like most of the comments are either complaining about Mercy’s state or doging on mercy as a character - neither which are helpful to this player. Here are some things that this Mercy player can do to improve their gameplay (from a fellow Mercy enjoyer): - Consider swapping Mouse 1 and Mouse 2 buttons to make your DMG boost your primary fire. This is by far the best change I did when I first started learning Mercy. There were quite a few moments where they held heal at full HP targets - and they’re effectively doing nothing during this time. By swapping M1 and M2, youll be DMG boosting as a default even when you’re focusing on something else (enemies, movement etc) - Avoid healing your team if they’re already using a heal ability, damage boost instead (unless they’re under a lot of pressure and will die without your aid). This is great for 3 reasons: 1. They’re getting ult charge from doing extra damage with your DMG boost 2. They’re getting ult charge from healing themselves (soldier/hog/mauga/etc get a bit of ult charge) 3. Enemies will have to back up to heal up to offset extra damage from DPS passive and DMG boost, which means you’re not putting pressure on your team - Polish up your movement. There were a lot of unnecessary super jumps that put them in enemy LOS for no reason. There were also some moments where you were flying above the enemy and having to turn your back to them to check on your allies (ie second point defense close to capture), all of which could be solved by using high ground from the building. Youd have LOS on enemies and allies, and you’re saving your GA for when your Valk runs out/you get dived. - Bonus tip for movement: consider using the setting where you have to hold GA instead of toggle GA. It helps with canceling your movement mid-air in case things get hairy, instead of having to rely on SJ and backwards GA which doubles your cooldown (not good when enemies are on your butt). - Try taking less chip damage. One of Mercy’s strengths is healing off of the heals she provides. By taking damage, you’re reducing the amount of healing you receive, which is key to your survival in this current season. -Your instincts to boost ults are great, but you should go one step further and track your allies’ cooldowns. Keep a mental note of when Ashe used her dynamite, or Bastion used his grenade, and tryto catch them before they throw them out. Another easy dmg boost target is moira orb, epsecially at the beginning of a round / fight, when they have no one to heal. - Rezzes have been great overall, but consider using Valk as a cooldown to get a riskier rez off or get a GA reset. I.e. I like to Valk after an enemy Genji/Doom/Venture/DVa commits their movement cooldown like Dash orPunch to dive me. That way they can’t immediately follow up on what you’re doing. Just some tips that I think we all can keep improving on! Overall Mercy is in a rough spot right now but that just means we should DMG boost as much as possible to burn down the enemies as much as we can.

The rank reset was so frustrating - I was in Diamond 1 on Support about to break into Masters, Diamond 2 Tank, Diamond 2 DPS, after the reset I ended up in Gold 3. The majority of these low ranked games are filled with people who just feed, leave, or are afk. This happens on both sides constantly, so the win / loss gets forced closer to 50%. I've been able to get my DPS role back to Plat 1 so far because DPS has so much impact in the game, but as support and tank the grind is crazy. You'll be having a great game and be winning, then your teammate will leave and its so demoralizing.

Mercy is probably the hardest character to carry a team. She can do everything right in support duties, but she's very dependent on teammates' performances. That's when incorporating battle Mercy gameplay can be the difference maker.

@IllTakeThisName 28 дней назад

Or you just pick a character that isnt entirely dependant on team performance. Battle mercy is never going to be better than just dealing damage on any other support who can heal without swapping weapons. The only advantage battle mercy has is flying which being gatekeeped by an ultimate, there are much better utility ultimates in the support lineup.

if you play mercy you actually _can't_ "do everything right in support duties." support duties go beyond: heal my team and die as little as possible. a huge part of supports job is to help control the space; which is done by identifying opponents on off-angles, and dealing damage to them in order to get them to retreat/give up the space. you'd be surprised how much easier it is for your DPS team mates to frag out when they have help controlling the off-angles.

That only works if they dont capitalize on the 3v5, or they ignore you exist. The second you do it once a smart team should be watching the tanks body after every engagement and just wait a few seconds for the timer to expire. No strategy that relies on an enemies lack of game knowledge is very viable in competitive.

@sachaweon3586 23 дня назад

Yes, high level Mercy players acknowledge this but it gets less viable in higher ranks as rez gets more punishable. It actually is a really great thing to teach lower ranked Mercy players to carry themselves out of their ELO. Not necessarily letting tanks die and rezzing them after, but the skill of prioritizing a target to hard push damage boost for more value and possibly letting another teammate die because you can resurrect them after the more valuable target wipes the team.

If illari was extremely flexible and trying to make this comp work (most cases you would switch the mercy but you know whatever all of this is hypothetical) you would play something like bap or kiriko to cleanse the team if the enemy team switches to ana.

@proda7696 28 дней назад

Hey this Mercy gameplay was good, you can definitely see that they were a master player before, I just think that you should try and learn another support for times where Mercy doesn't work or is too weak in the current game's state

@SirTaco97 27 дней назад

I’m in the same position. Was masters 5 and got knocked down to plat 2. It’s been a horrendous climb back upward. Only at diamond 5

@ansel_ale 28 дней назад

As a Mercy main who also went from Diamond to Gold in the past couple of seasons, I've been forced to change my playstyle a lot and at this point I've been playing more Lucio than Mercy, I also do scrims with a 3.3k team (I'm lucky they haven't kicked me for not climbing back to diamond yet XD) and we never run Mercy cause she's just not good enough compared to other supports and is considered a troll pick, at this point I would just be happy if they could revert the effing GA nerfs, specially when mobility is so important in OW2. But if there's something I know it's that the balance team doesn't want Mercy to be meta ever again as they're too afraid of community backlash if another moth meta happens, so I've just resigned myself to being in Lucio jail permanently XD.

@megayikes9716 27 дней назад

I totally sympathise with you and also don't want to ever see moth meta again as every mercy became a F-21 fighter jet zipping around that was impossible to hit. I also believe mercy should not be this bad since she is a very much beloved hero in the game by many players. I think the only thing that could save her while not ruining the dps passive because I think that will be very bad given that everyone has higher health pools now and we may go back to step 1 of there are too many get out of jail free cards in game. I think making small changes that should be implemented right now like mercy should receive faster ult charge from damage boosting (this will help all the solo que mercy players and lean more into the better aspects in her kit) and slightly more range for rezing (I don't play mercy so I don't know if this isn't a thing already but she should be able to cancel a rez too if she realises she has made a mistake). Very small changes that allows mercy to have more moth time while not making every mercy at ever tier level into a fighter jet again. I think they have to do small changes throughout this season for her to feel more viable than one massive buff like reverting the guardian angel nerfs, or the return of the insane double rez / insta rez of og ow.

Unironically; Learn to play a different support. It helps for when Mercy isn’t very useful or needed in the team comp.

@izzybean9085 25 дней назад

Too many people are saying to learn a new hero and that she sucks right now seems to forget that the thats the whole reason why she SHOULD be buffed a little. First people cry when you have a mercy on the enemy team that's good and then they cry because they have a mercy on their team and call it an immediate loss. I think its just an agreement that Mercy needs a buff right now regardless of players' feelings for her. I hated Junker for the longest time. Hell, I still do, but even I could see she needed buffs compared to the other tanks

@elizabethwall4456 13 дней назад

I was at silver 1 and then hit a huge loss streak and have fallen to silver 4 almost silver 5 .-. It’s so frustrating. Sometimes I want to blame everyone else but I’m just going to try harder on my positioning. I appreciate videos like this because it really helps everyone who watches them.

@DarkmourneTheFlayer 28 дней назад

Informative. Made me feel better about my own Mercy. I completed my placement matches not long ago as support, mostly with Mercy (Ana, Brig, Moira, and Weaver too) and it dropped me in Silver 3. Looks like I'll be able to climb some. Hope this Mercy gets to where the player wants to go. This Mercy looks pretty good.

@sawah765 15 дней назад

even before dps passive got added, sometimes id not heal a tank cuz theyre about to die in a good rez spot. like if i heal them it just buys them seconds to wander into the open to die where they cant get rezed. or its more time for enemy to push in on rest of the team while tank is getting finished

@abundantlover5828 27 дней назад

tbh they healbot a lot. they keep yellow beaming people that are full health or positioning themselves to where they’re a free kill for the enemy team. also prioritizing bastion over soldier/ashe isn’t the best pocket option. boost bastion in turret mode.

@fleurella120 16 дней назад

I treat Venture like a Tracer/Sombra hybrid when I'm Mercy. If they need heals and come to me, yes 100%, but they have their own abilities to avoid damage when crit. I avoid being next to them as much as possible in case they teleport out and I can't follow (Venture's underground ability, Tracer recall out of LOS, etc). If they really allowed Mercy to fly to targets like Mei in iceblock or Venture underground or a slightly shorter cooldown on GA to match the disconnect of beam, then those 2 QoL fixes alone would help this hero for players like this.

@BeforeThisNovember 15 дней назад

I feel the pain. I was Plat most my Overwatch life, even touched Diamond for a min. Now I’m Silver in all roles and literally a few losses away from bronze on a couple roles. I get the highest stats most games. I actively try to assess and address the problems of why we’re losing. I’m aware of counter picks and I’m 99% of the time the only one on comms making call outs (enemy flanking, enemy 1hp, etc etc). And I’ve still lost around 25 of my last 30 games. My team constantly gets super “diffed”. Seemingly the enemy team always has good synergy and team work, more often than not my team seems to be actively trying to lose. Never, ever, ever tell me ELO hell doesn’t exist. I will find you.

@roguechemist2658 23 дня назад

that little purple downwards arrow that's by your own profile in the corner should be to the side of an ally's health bar when the dps passive is active, though a bit bigger would be nice; more noticeable. as a supp main i think that'd help a lot, as suggested

I don't even know what I should do, I tried various play styles but I just keep losing

It has been such a rough meta for both mercy and lw, (I have a lw only account which I got to masters 2 could get it to gm but its very difficult and my mmr sucks). The dps debuff really affects their gameplay even more so on mercy as it also makes damage boost kinda useless when your tank takes a billion hitpoints right now.

The decisions this mercy made is very similiar to what I'd make.

@MikeChatman 11 дней назад

I just dealt with this myself. Fell from Plat to silver. Had to ask myself if it was me. I think a lot of it was me. I made some changes to my play and it's helped but yeah... still having support who refuse to heal and only try to attack and flank and still have tanks that try to 1v5 die, then spam "i need healing" "Group up!"... console advancement is all luck bases. Most people have inflated ranks and the game is full of KBM users with Aim Assist. Blizzard needs to address this. There's needs to be criteria for separating people who obviously have no idea how to actually play and banning these hackers/cheaters. But still the changes I've made have increased my skill and made me realize my own faults. Glad they finally made it so console players can review games.

@Chr0n0s38 24 дня назад

The problem Mercy falls into since season 9 is she really needs to up her blue beam usage, but depending on your other support you can easily fall behind on heals and never catch back up. Mercy's effective healing is down to around 48 hps which is just too low to be useful. Really UW has the same problem. Once you fall behind on heaus you just can't catch back up. It's funny how they upped beam/auto aim damage numbers but not beam/auto aim heal numbers. Healing and damage should have been buffed the same way, especially since most heals are not hitscan/projectile. Even the ones that are hitscan/projectile weren't really helped by the buffs since they were already easier to land than damage equivalents.

@smushrum3649 27 дней назад

These past few seasons have been so rough for Mercy. I solo queue only and was masters in OW1. Demoted in OW2 but that felt fair since it took a while to get used to new heroes and balance changes. Nowadays, I can barely stay in plat and my gameplay doesn't look too different from this. I watch my replays a lot and see much worse play from others often, which leaves me wondering how we are at the same skill level? I don't necessarily think i deserve a higher rank, moreso that the criteria for deciding rank is very unclear and even unfair when it seems like some players in the match are on a completely different level. It really sucks for Mercy because you don't get a lot of reward for skillful play unless your team can outplay theirs.
