This MERCY has 4200 HOURS but still SILVER... (Overwatch 2) 

Emongg is like the opposite of flats, he’s so supportive and it never feels like he’s “roasting” the lower levels of ranked. He feels like a caring overwatch dad who is just trying to help you rank up!

Hey Emongg its me the mercy from the video i would just like to thank you for watching this and explaining to me what i did wrong and how i could improve it was great getting the feedback and the indetail tips on what to do and what not to do and it helped me a lot to work on my support play

The most important lesson I've learned as a mercy player is to not follow teammates into situations that will get you killed.

If they're still not climbing after all this time it most likely means they've developed a couple of bad habits that they probably don't even realize they're doing. There's nothing wrong with being stuck at a rank, it happens and can be fixed when you get rid of those bad habits 😊

It honestly hurts me to see them just heal majority of the game, plus there’s better characters to hard pocket than the Widow

The Duo DPS thought they were the main character 😂

Another tip! I don’t recommend dmg boosting a widow over a soldier, the soldier is more favorable to pocket opposed to widowmaker who already does a lot of headshot dmg by herself. Keeping your dmg boost on soldier helps a ton with getting picks and ult charge for visor :) + Check allied healthbars to switch to dmgboost if they don’t need the heals!

At the beginning, poor Mercy just wants uppies, and Widow won’t peek 😂

They really need to work on their movement as Mercy and their damage boost.

Just be aware that the 4200 hours is on the game and not the mercy hero, emongg said this at 0:05, the person always play ana and decide to play mercy because they duo with a DPS, so the mercy movement and Rez decision is understandable because the person may not be playing mercy for a long time and get used to certain mechanics

Unless you really don't want to do coaching, it'd be cool if (even for a one-off occurrence) for you to actually be in the same voice call giving them commentary suggesting how to respond to certain situations. Like a more practical approach as compared to a reflective approach. It'll be easier and more engaging to see players adapt instead of doing the same thing for 10-20 minutes

With the current state of the game, there are not many reasons for an Ana player to swap TO Mercy. Maybe if they have a flier dps (or two). I'm honestly baffled why this person chose to play Mercy in this situation, ESPECIALLY with their co-support being on Lucio, and their clear lack of comfort with playing Mercy. There's definitely a lot of poor decision making here. Wish we could've seen their Ana.

4200 hours... And still follows a flanking widow far enough she can't fly back?! 😳 WHAT.

Them not damage boosting basically ever is tilting

the healbotting bro...

Jesus Christ there’s a lot of mean people here! Anyways to the person who submitted this - I know you said you typically play Ana and you’re a tank main so big props to you for submitting a VOD! A couple of things I will say as someone who plays a lot of Mercy is this: - practice her vertical movement. Being able to fly around in the sky makes her a difficult target to hit (I know you said you don’t know how to play sky mercy lol it takes practice!) - damage boost > healing. Set your damage boost as your primary fire so you have to THINK about healing. Setting dmg boost on primary made me improve a lot on Mercy. Set a goal for damage amplified for every game (I have mine set for at least 1,300 dmg amp per game for now). - know who is a better target to damage boost/pocket. Heroes like soldier/bastion/sojourn/echo/etc are really good. - don’t always rely on your duo. They’re also in silver for a reason. With that said - prioritize staying alive! Don’t risk a rez in the middle of the open, when your team is losing a fight start to back away and don’t feed! Good luck on your next games!

So I am pretty sure the other support actually wanted mercy, the Lucio, swap to zen, and eventually to Moira when they finally accept that you won't give up Mercy for the throw pick is so incredibly common (and pathetic) that yeah. I am pretty sure that was what the other support was doing: Trying to force our girl off of mercy. But yeah, my advice to our spectatee, is to either look into mercy guides for improving on her, as there is value to playing mercy with a reliable DPS duo, or to stay with what they know best. I heavily recommend Skiesti for Mercy guides.

I feel like emong can coach a team to gm fairly easily

I think this mercy's greatest mistake was having the mindset of having to pocket their duo. In a game you gotta do what you gotta do and most of the time what you gotta do is not follow the plan you had in your mind and adapt to what is going on.

The easiest thing to do to get better at Mercy is learn how to not be on the floor. Cycling your dash cool down to fly is a key basic tenant of Mercy. Keep some distance, dash to your teammate, press ctrl (or whatever your up dash key is), hold space, repeat. Also don't insta rez.

3:36 footsteps alone gives you away

this mercy don't use her vertical movement at all lol

As a mercy main.. this hurt to watch and makes me wonder why I'm barely gold 5...

This is what happens when you assume playing more means youll learn more. If you arent actively analyzing your play, youll stagnate forever.

Gota love it 4200hrs and plays like its his first time

Please just stay on ana, because holy shet.

16:40 how didn’t he point out the extreme tunnel vision here, the ramatra is taking sm damage on their right and i could make that out with the screen being slightly covered. seconds later after healing, immediate tunnel vision again, on the left bastion was taking hits pushing back and was low. i’m amazed they survived though

TIPS!!!!!!: if theres not a lot of hit scans or no hit scan, then try to be on high ground more and fly around more. try to just be annoying so people cant get you. DONT GO OUT OF POSITION TOO MUCH!! if your team dies try to fly away but if you cant, its okay regroup with them. DONT COME IN ONE BY ONE. if you want to rez somebody make sure its safe enough and theres natural cover you can hide behind while rezzing them. TRY to Make sure there is someone near you as well so you arent really alone. You can also help your team by damage boosting a projectile character like soldier or bastion. (ESPECIALLY BASTION IN HIS TURRET FORM AND SOLDIER FOR HIS ULT) ALSO NOTE: when you damage boost it makes the person your damage boosting ultimate percentage go up faster. So damage boost the person you really think the ultimate will help your team. (mainly dps) i have done this many times in comp games. make sure you let your other support know to heal people and protect people while your damage boosting someone. it can be hard to heal everybody as mercy, try to focus on everybody but dont always go to them because your other support could save them and you could leave the person you are damage boosting and then they could die. Please Ping your enemies so they can be seen for a little while it is very helpful for your team. Also dont be afraid to pull your pistol out, but make sure its to help out and not just try to “tank” as mercy and only do damage. Also make sure not to heal bot, but healbotting can be helpful in lower ranks. IF YOUR TANK IS AN IDIOT AND PUSHES UP ALONE DONT BE AFRAID TO CALL THEM OUT. one time i did all of this and and used my teammates to help me get out of bad situations and i had 0 deaths please dont judge my tips this can be helpful for beginners, its really helped me right now im gold 5 and ive been ranking up.

I wanna say, remember your beam gets longer after connecting it and you don’t have to be standing right behind your tank to be helping them. Try standing almost as far as the beam can and it can bend so try to be behind corners and objects. Please

4200 hours, still silver? How?? Ah they went Mercy/Lucio. That tracks😅

The way I look at it. If I played basketball and was never coached and kept doing the same things over and over again but never knew why. I wouldn't be very good either. Once you have someone helping you correct your mistakes and you practice what you learned it's helpful. So many players me included don't know what we did wrong sometimes but if we are shown in the moment by a coach it helps tremendously.

As someone who Mains Lucio and Mercy, playing them together is not as bad as everyone thinks, providing you have the right tank. If you have a Ball, Doom, Sigma or JQ, then it is actually playable proving both the supports adjust their play style. (JQ with speed and damage boost is deadly btw)

Bro keeping the "pink mercy=bad" stereotype alive it seems

It’s like first 4 minutes and bingo is ready. 1. Using guardian angel on cooldown 2. Bad positioning 3. Poor control over your moves 4. Staying still 5. Prioritising healing over boost even when it’s not needed 6. Risky useless res (Mercy’s survival is more important for the team, be selfish if it’s not absolutely necessary and rational not to be) 7. Questionable boost priority, there’s not a single character bad for boosting, just better once 8. Playing Mercy + Lucio in the first place. Tho It can go fine in some combs (especially with self healing heroes), but Mercy’s main feature is her boosting abilities, you can’t do as much when there’s 2 sub healers in ur team, so it’s better to pick someone who don’t need to sacrifice their impact for healing (Ana or Bap for example)

this person has played mercy for HALF OF A YEARS WORTH OF TIME and is still silver :I

18:10 although bastion did extend out too far, kiriko did have the chance to heal bastion a few seconds prior from bastion turning the corner, you see them throwing kunais instead of healing the players to their right before walking towards the point

yeah i can understand why they are silver

As a Silver support player, if this Mercy is Silver, I should be Plat

The first 2 min tell you everything haha

Jesus christ that start 😅

I've been that Mercy trying to Guardian Angel desperately to high ground. 😂

Lucio/Mercy can work sometimes, but usually only if you're Lucio is a healbot and never uses speed and Mercy never uses DB. Knowing what healer team comps put you at a disadvantage is important for pulling off wins.

I do wish for all players to improve. I hope that this mercy improves and climbs. This is not an anger post, just me getting something off my chest. I am at 5mins 43secs. I played quite a bit of Mercy, main Bap/Brig now. Recently I have become irrationally upset when I see stupid players on Mercy, due to the fact of them massively healbotting, not using ga to get to better cover, not using cover, hugging the tank as if it wouldn't get them killed, ect. Mind you. I don't saying anything to the mercy, just gets me irrational knowing that they could do so much more, instead of healing a full hp player.

I was not prepared . The mt dew out my nose at the beginning hurt so much.

5:10 deep cut to that Genji clip

But a pink mercy…… makes sense. Pink mercys are always questionable

Yeah movments and priority is the most important things for them to learn at this point.

Emongg saying Ana will always be so funny to me “He says he usually doesn’t play AHHNA”

Emongg why don't you do a mercy vod review with skietsti? It would be a good collab and you might learn something from her :> just a idea

I’m a mercy main and till this day i’m still stuck on silver 4-5, this video helps

this shoulda been a bingo

I'm ngl, I saw the widow and saw it was too close to my game name and was scared I was in this game for a min lmao

ALRIGHT SO!!! Time to watch while relaxing cause this flu is stupid.

Mercy - Lucio is fine as long as the Lucio recognizes he needs to prioritize group healing. The hidden positive here is that Lucio will build his ultimate faster than normal. With a mind to saving Amp for speed boost for offensive ults. Mercy's ult becomes slightly more heal-centric when she ults, unless they ult at the same time.

After watching the positionings & the heal/dmg boost beams, I can safely say the ranking is fair 😂 Im gold 1 but I stay hg whenever possible but the mercy here is always in the middle of the fights

Mercy is my fav healer, she's my healer main and it was hard to watch. I would be pissed off if mercy on my team was carrying mostly about her friend when team dies. I hope that this player gonna get better on Mercy cause in good hands she really can carry whole game.

I'm only a minute in, but.. this can't be real.. right? what was that start thats like first week playing come on :c

Ive made this comment on another video somewhat similar to this one ironically but, how after ALL that time do you not improve. Like even just through the natural process of like oh this doesnt work i should stop doing this. I just generally cant wrap my head around how your brain doesnt naturally pick up on things that you should and shouldnt do. And for those that are saying "just playing for fun" then this whole video is pointless because they sent this to emongg with the distinct purpose of learning how to not be hard stuck.

These are the bots you get in your ranked matches

4200 but no crouching super jumps. Would get to those widows.

I just saw the TikTok for this closed TikTok open RU-vid I’m scared

Bro why was she only trying to save sweetener everytime 💀

3 enemy team members running at you - widow dies - mercy raise in the middle of the enemies. Jesus...

"I have 4,200 on support and haven't learned a thing." Sweetie, maybe Overwatch 2 isn't the game for you.

this is something...

if my dou plays like shit without considering me as mercy i aint gonna risk losing just to pocket him tbh

less than 1 minute in describes why they're in silver

The name on the mercy 💀

Peace be upon you. ^w^

Mercy was quicker on the draw than Cassidy.

This title sounds like my life

pocketing a widowmaker on mercy is absolutely wild to me

really need to work on movement, need to play behind more cover, stay with a dps, damage boost more, not rez in risky situations, and not healbot, it can affect your other support since your not allowing them to get ult charge especially if your running mercy with any low healing output heroes.

Great ult but didn’t heal the bastion. And after 4200 hours if you still play like this u probably will always just default to playing like this. This was something i would expect from 0 hours

This was hard to watch 😳

Great gameplay, I wish my own Mercy RU-vid Videos are as good and satisfying as yours! 💕 😊

This looks like bronze level gameplay lmao

As a mercy main this was painful to watch. But I'll cut them some slack because maybe they don't play mercy a whole lot

how am i stuck in silver if these are the mercy’s there omg….,

Emongg really out here being nice saying Mercy Lucio is a "Difficult" Support Comp aka Its a Bad Support Comp

Poor tank.

STEP 1 : don't damage boost a silver widow player.

A tip that I can give u is pls try to stay behind walls and start blue beaming more often

why send a mercy video if the person usually plays ana? ye im stuck in silver and play ana, tell me whats wrong with my mercy mr streamer...

I am pretty sure his/her tank isn't far away from silver from how bad the mercy is played. I have max 5h on her and just katrina everything as soon as I have valk. This mercy doesn't even know she can fly and glide etc.

is there a certain point you go Cest la vie? 😝

Average Mercy main:

Like 1/15 of the db needed

why is it always the pink mercys ;-;

Something i learned as a mercy main is to ALWAYS look for other ways espicially when getting away or trying to reach a certain place. For example when the mercy was trying to rez the widow she couldve superjumped using the soldier to reach the soul or the orisa if she were close enough

I have 1200h and I’m hard stuck in gold 4 / silver 3, it’s literally impossible to climb anymore, for instance last night, in dps, 5 wins 1 lose, I went From silver 3 to silver 4, explain this lol

Is it normal to only be in silver at 4200 hrs? It scares me if it is

Im 10 seconds in lmaooooooo thats all i have to say

now i main lucio but what you say at around 2:00 idk if i totally agree, like i'd been in many matches where this match up actually doesn't feel too bad... obv an ana is a whole hella lot better (not just saying that because i randomly get nano'd sometimes by mistake and go all boostio) but like.... mercy can technically keep up with lucio and the mercy can pocket the tank and a high valued dps and ya'll can just steamroll alot of the time, plus one thing i like is being able to be like a consistent guardian target for our mercy to fly to whenever she's getting targeted... like lotta times enemies just ignore me because im to hard to hit and i'd be able to zip back and peel for the mercy while also allowing her to gtfo of danger. with all that said a good mercy doesn't need that if she knows where to position. but ana lucio is awesome the nade with his amp is like full hp team ez

i'm actually 9400 hours in b4 btw

I like playing with Lucio/Mercy 🥲

Ah some people just here for the fun lmao but do me a favor, do not heal bot as mercy for the love of god Also that dps is honestly stupid...like really dumb, don't give them pocket

4200 hours on mercy or over all game?

Did they say what number of silver they are?

Its always the Pink Mercys that are like this too :/
