YOOO THATS ME! I wish I saw this live I had work that day. Thank you for your review I am now in plat 2 again on my way to diamond hopefully. I've been using your critiques and I've definitely improved. edit. I have finally hit diamond now Ill just have to hold it

[@Nemo.404]

Congrats!!! You are amazing with her. I've tried using her and I feel like a potato. It amazes me how much movement can someone get from her kit

[@personalbudakai9161]

@@Nemo.404 thank you. I picked her up in the beginning of season 2 or 3 and that's when I really started to play her. I learned most of my movement from basically watching others play her and doing things like mercy parkour during my free time.

Frfr. Your movement is great. Love to see ya climb!

[@EllyG]

Yooooo your Mercy was sick. Congrats on the rank up!

[@dolphinturtlekin6282]

I've spent some time playing with high rank mercies & learning from them as well as helping some friends out with ranking up specifically to at least diamond on mercy. You should be diamond. It's just difficult to solo queue or leave behind dps players who should be at that lower rank, my assumption is the genji here was calling out for you to stay with them, while they really lack fundamental understandings & that cost you a lot of the earlier fights. Trust your own instincts as-well as use the advice emongg gave you, you'll hit diamond easily.

[@Jowei332]

I really like how different you are from other streamers on critique videos, you’re a lot more encouraging and genuinely seem like you want to help. Your reactions are really fun! I don’t feel like a little kid being yelled at by a parent unlike the other streamers I watch lmao

Learning when *not* to rez with Mercy is honestly one of the hardest things to do. Especially when you have teamates shrieking at you to rez them and demanding to know why you didn't. Learning have the patience, timing and positining to make that split second call on rezzing is a lot harder than most people realize and one of the keys to climbing.

[@karamei]

Mercy should have pocketed Soldier a lot more. The hero is generally a better and safer pocket target than Genji, and trying to pocket Genji put her out of position too much. Visor should definitely be prioritized to pocket almost always. This Mercy has very good movement, but she is using her movement as positioning, instead of for positioning. Since slingshot/SJ has a 3 second cooldown, it is really important to not waste it too much. That will get punished at higher ranks very quickly. It is ok to stay in one location for periods of time as long as it's safe and you are ready to fly at any moment. It's also important to accept that some teammates can just not always be saved or res'd. Your life as a support is more valuable. Especially when the teammate in question has been feeding. I think this Mercy can definitely climb back up with some simple adjustments like exercising more caution/restraint and target priority. It also helps to be comfortable on at least 1 other support for situations where your team comp is just not great for pocketing anyone, or your teammates just can't finish kills even with damage boost. I recommend Kiriko.

[@personalbudakai9161]

I fully agree, and ive changed my playstyle and have been able to climb back up to plat 2. I do know other supports i just don't feel the need to swap in gold as overall it doesn't really matter unless certain extreme cases. But mercy pick i feel was fine here I just played dumb. I actually used to be in diamond back in ow1 but reranked from not playing for 2 years before ow2 release. So im fully capable of playing other supports.

[@karamei]

[@Alex_Aramayo]

I literally thought of all of this & I have 50+ hrs on Mercy my 3rd most played yet I've been in Gold for so long on Xbox, I've even been complemented on my Mercy by a Masters peak Mercy (during a Plat lobby) Gold & Plat are just filled w either true golds, casuals, or ppl that have an idea of what's going on

[@KoiPuff]

So I’m a GM Mercy and they mentioned they wanted to play in GM with their friend. They get away with a lot of things here because it’s Gold. Their movement is fine for Gold/Plat but their reaction time would be slow/sluggish in Masters/GM lobbies. They don’t turn around, they tend to watch their healing target. High level Mercy players are paranoid and are constantly looking around (for escape routes, for flanks, for possible danger). They also like to use their movement AS positioning and when the hitscans can hit their shots that’s just gonna get you killed. Their DB priority is also kinda… like they have a perfectly good Soldier but they’re intent on pocketing the Genji. The other Support is a Life Weaver so it’s fine to leave the Genji to him. The Soldier is the safer choice for positioning too.

[@Kat-xp8zn]

As a tracer main, when i play mercy im also paranoid because i just know how flankers think lol

[@adonis2683]

Yeah I found it strange how adamnt she was about pocketing genji and even flanking with them as tracer. I wonder if they were duo'ed with them

[@KilomiRayven]

As a player that like to play a lot of rein, the most annoying thing is going against a rein with any support pocket, but dmg boost mercy and lucio have to be the worst. For the simple fact that you know that could be you and you could be the one having fun instead of getting wrecked.

[@neilmallick20]

um, what elo are you in that mercy players are pocketing the rein? ana or lifeweaver rein pockets are 10x more cancerous to play against

Omg rein v rein under the 2 trees with a dragon in the middle was amazing 😆

[@justin112288]

Honestly the thing that massively improved my mercy gameplay was playing mercy parkour on colosseo. I talked with other players and learned how much maneuverability she actually has. Also mercy is a great character in my opinion to up your sensitivity on.

[@WubsBona-Petite]

Mercy didn’t even say thank you. As a mercy main, I always say thanks when I’m saved. ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS THAT CLOSE.

[@satamiko]

Bro Soldier taxied her and got left ulting while she valked two times (almost three) and the soldier was good, too! Sad stuff.

[@kristindobbs6056]

my advice from a gm support is def prioritize your pocket targets. don’t go in the enemy backline with tracer as you’re a huge target. Pocket soldier instead and get more value. Your movement is great actually, you just need to work a bit more with positioning. The best thing about mercy is she can fly and she has pretty solid movement so always play cover so the enemy can’t get you. but also don’t rely on mercy only to climb. Learn other supports. Mercy does not work in every situation when it comes to metal ranks even in high ranks, too. She’s very team dependent and if you’re dps are not doing their job, she has no value at all. sometimes it helps to have extra dmg on your team when your dps aren’t performing. overall, you did a great job.

[@catdaddie]

im enjoying all of the mercy content recently!!! im curious if this mercy was duo'd with the genji or the genji was aggressively asking for heals/damage boost and thats why she was making some questionable decisions

[@karamei]

Yeah I was wondering this also. Soldier is a much better damage boost target, and a much safer one, too. I think the match may have gone differently if Mercy had put more of her focus into the Soldier. Especially with how that Genji was playing

[@bigfudge2031]

@@karameiThat Genji won't be reaching Diamond any time soon, If they are together I suggest the Mercy play solo.

[@adonis2683]

Yeah I noticed her first death could have been prevented if she safely pocketed soilder who I assume was on highground instead of playing on lowground where the junk easily found her. Alot of her deaths could honestly be attributed to focusing too much on genji/tracer.

[@cipher4lifer77]

As a mercy main I'd say it's because it's more easy to tell when a Genji is going for a target since they're like jumping straight at them but when it comes to a soldier it's a bit more difficult since you have to pay attention to exactly where they're looking and that can be difficult in the middle of a fight if that makes sense?

[@cristinamarie4161]

I think her ult usage is also kinda off a bit. There was a moment where she held on to ult too long

[@mitchconner6316]

As a low diamond Mercy, I'd say yes the movement is good. Good blue beam targets. What sticks out most to me is the positioning. Pretty much all of what emongg already said lol. I would try to find safer places to beam your allies from. I'm always looking for off angles on the high ground. Good looking gameplay though!

[@katythomas5436]

same here diamond 4, I felt like she super jumped out in the open a little too much

[@Im_Jay_Ar]

Thought that too!

[@animediva7397]

They're description is also similar to what I dealt with. I reached diamond for the first time as Mercy and I lost 15 games and now I'm back to plat again

[@keyzze6068]

i play mercy a LOT i learned pretty quickly that some heroes are just not followable. Tracer is one of those heroes. As much as it is tempting to dmg boost such a good character, it's just not worth the dangerous positions she will inevitably bring and leave you to die in. that being said, the very last point on this map is great for the highground and easy cover tracer can utilize

[@doublec2925]

a huge help as well is to stop looking at your beam target all the time u can still beam them and look around

[@namixless9732]

as a mercy main the biggest issue i see alot with climbing is that you kind of have to depend on your teammates. if your team cant preform it doesnt matter how much you heal or damage boost :/

[@littlecreeper8543]

[@kibi_112]

I play mercy in high masters to low gm. I used to be gold and managed to climb to diamond by pistoling people every time I had valk

[@theprometheu5]

Why would you pocket a Genji/Tracer as Mercy when you have a Soldier/Hanzo on your team? It makes no sense. It’s essential with Mercy to keep some distance between you and the enemy, because Mercy is easy kill to from close, and really hard to kill when flying in the distance.

[@personalbudakai9161]

Even I don't know why I did that...

[@Myst1c_OW]

pocketing a genji is perfectly fine, following a tracer isnt really a good idea unless they comm it for a one clip or something to try and get it more consistently@@personalbudakai9161

[@cipher4lifer77]

​@@personalbudakai9161I don't know why this person included Hanzo in the same place as soldier but pocketing a genji is definitely a better option than pocketing at Hanzo that being said it does depend on how good each person is doing

[@cometsw0rld580]

One thing I can recommend to this mercy is to look around her more and keep notes on where they are at, especially if you cant see everyone on their team. If you are just focused on what your beam target is doing it can often end in death. If she were to look around more she can get a feel for the enemy's positioning and position herself better. She would also be able to notice any sneaky flankers who might be trying to pull off an ult. I personally tend to never look at my beam target after getting a feel for their play style.

[@dolly.uwu.]

its actually insane how much this playstyle looks like my own. like almost to a T with the movement/positioning and only pulling out the pistol when they're low. ironically im also stuck in elo hell as gold. 😑

[@button9]

I like how the Rein kills the Ram, dusts off and walks away “job done” while the junkrat is still right there literally lobbing grenades at him …. Just keeps walking away “not my problem”

[@davitosagala4936]

As a mercy player, their movement and understanding of situations are already nice eventho sometimes u are still like 'i wanna help them" but ended up dying, but we sometimes as a mercy player have to be a lil bit heartless because we have others to take care for, 3 other lives are better than 1. Yes I will help you if you're in my los, and it's mostly safe, but if u dash into 5 people and hoping I will help you? No I will not cause there are others who I need to support

[@meghanbrooks3990]

Yeah the amount of times I’ve died because I’ve followed someone I shouldn’t have is sad. :(

[@FluffyTrip]

Only issues is learning who to pocket on mercy, if you have a soldier always pocket him. Brings more value and is much safer

[@jusaliengaming9752]

i feel like if they went kiriko they win this game. mercy synergy wasn’t really there towards the later rounds and the plays they wanted to pull off (flank tracer, genji dives) all benefit from a kiriko more. not saying they’re a bad mercy but sometimes other heroes are just better. could also make the same argument for the genji/hanzo to switch back to a better pocket but why put it in your teams hands.

[@jusaliengaming9752]

also doesn’t help that your other support is a lifeweaver on attack, not much extra damage coming out and when you’re getting mirrored defenders have advantage

[@personalbudakai9161]

@@jusaliengaming9752 I don't disagree that Krikko would also be good here, but Mercy was perfectly fine here. If I didn't make so many mistakes I would have been alive for a lot longer and we could of pushed cart much faster instead of the team dying from having only 1 support. Mercy is a good dmg boost for genji and hanzo (genji being dangerous but still doable).

[@bigfudge2031]

They might not be able to play Kiriko to a high enough level, it may be more worth to just stay as Mercy or swap to Moira instead.

gold mercy plays like a diamond actually, title was actually right lol EDIT: 9:30 everything after this, within the first round honestly looks like masters/low gm movement (not playing as safe as those ranks normally would, but movement is on point) (10:00 valk after the pin would have more than likely saved the rein, and done a decent bit more than it already did)

[@ZeroRed78]

Fun game to watch. Pretty close one. Mercy did well. Sadly, there's only so much you can do on a Mercy (and LW) though, especially solo queue. You basically just enable your DPS and tank to be able to do their things more. Here I just think red team's Rein was basically equal and their DPSs were better. Keep playing Mercy at that level and they'll climb. Will be a slow climb though. Weave in some equally good play from Ana/Kiri/Bap/Illari/Moria when the team is struggling to capitalize on the damage boosts and they'll climb faster.

[@Real_MisterSir]

Okay lets just address the elephant in the room: Mercy sucks to climb with, because your main approach to value is empowering your team mates (who are shit). That doesn't mean you also aren't shit, or not, that part is irrelevant. What matters is that you give up agency over how to influence fights, so unless you are exceptionally great at Mercy and understanding the game, you will have a hard time climbing and that's just what it is. That said, there also wasn't anything truly spectacular here to warrant a climb. The positives are: You seem to have decent awareness and mobility, but then again you're playing vs gold enemies who can't hit their shots so the bar aint that high. But hey, few deaths is great, but ideally you should have zero deaths unless it's a team wipe, so still a lot to work on here - not so much on mechanics, but more so on decisionmaking and how you decide your future positioning. Now to the actually important part: There were hardly any moments where you were the key difference maker, and THIS is a problem if you want to climb. It's hard to be that difference maker with Mercy, but it is nonetheless what you should be striving for. It doesn't take a lot to get near equal value as you're currently getting, even with lower skill. To be the difference maker you should look at 3 key aspects: 1. Uptime. There should ideally be zero downtime where you are navigating the map, catching up to allies mid fight, etc. Your positioning therefore should in general be in accordance with the center of your team where you can contribute to near 100% efficiency. There were lots of times where you neglected your Rein as he was going in, to instead go on a journey with your Tracer that already off the bat wasted 5-10 seconds in the beginning of the team fight. This is a major no-no. So be more aware of when the team fights are being initiated, and plan your positioning accordingly. 2. Focus on critical impact. This means you should damage boost players who either deal a shitton of damage, or players that have potential to burst down enemies quickly - and this choice depends largely on what the enemy is doing. Your general priority of ally to dmg boost is decent, but focus on the ones that have the most potential to deal critical damage - and likewise focus on healing those who are at critical hp, or about to receive damage that could put them into critical territory. Oftentimes you neglected your Rein as he was pushing for a frontline attack, and while he was at full hp at the time, a move like this is guaranteed to ensure he is taking a lot of focus and thus damage, so you should be attentive to him and not just neglect what he's doing to go flank with your dps and waste time. This is gold, so time to kill is very high and you didn't see the consequences of your actions most of the time, but if this was in Diamond then your tank would've been killed 10 times already where you neglected him as he pushed in. 3. Go for incremental advantages rather than high risk plays. Ressing someone in an exposed position is a clutch play, and you don't climb by relying on clutch plays. Likewise use your ult when you have the best chance to gain high overall damage to swing a fight incrementally in your team's favor, as this on average is more likely to consistently win fights. Using valk to hunt for opportunities puts your faith in hopes and dreams, and if there is one thing that is extremely abundant in low ranks, it is hopes and dreams. When you see your team is fairly grouped up and your Rein is making a gesture to push in, pop valk and let him push with confidence. When your Genji is going for a blade, pop valk so you can fly in safely with him and damage boost his hits. When you see the enemy team make a generic push with no easy way to disengage, pop valk to flip the fight or force them to invest in even bigger resources. Be proactive, the ult builds fast and is reliable in output, as long as you apply it to reliable situations where marginal advantages are the goal, rather than clutching a fight or going for big power plays. Also great to stabilize fights where the enemy got an incremental advantage to begin with - but not so much if they have a major advantage.

That description on hitting plat 1 and losing 15 games is so real

[@currentlyintoomanyfandoms2505]

Heya! I’m a new player (started last summer) and one thing that has helped me a lot as a support player is to look up the characters best comps. For example, Mercy is great w characters like Ashe, Cassidy, Soldier, Soujorn etc. It depends on stuff like: You’re mobility, is the dps agro or passive?, Are they playing ok? Because as Mercy you should be wary of your position. Think; am I an easy target? From the enemy’s pov, is it easy to get me? Have they been targeting me? (Example: That Junkrat ult would have gotten this Mercy if it wasn’t for Soldier) Also, don’t feel bad if you weren’t getting enough heals or the like, we all start somewhere.

[@currentlyintoomanyfandoms2505]

One thing that has helped me a lot is to watch my games, recognize what I could have done better and even watch the gameplay of my teammates (hella satisfying after they whine and curse at you)

Sameee i’m around Gold 2 rn, and this is what I think my movement on mercy looks like😭😭

[@bearisflop]

Really good for gold, you have a good understanding of when to blue beam versus when to yellow (which is good and sets you apart from other golds, your movment is also decent). But you don’t play cover enough. And you kept pocketing that genji which he was good but there is no reason to be on him when he’s so far pushed up. In Gold it’s easier to play your movment rather than positioning but high rank a lot of times you will die if your just flying in the air above everyone. You need to work on positioning a lot, I saw some points where you were in the front of the team with your genji and rein, and that can definitely work sometimes but I feel like pocketing the 76 was way better (unless he was horrible I haven’t watched him much). Pocketing the 76 was safer and he has a higher damage output so it would have helped a lot more. Genji also had the lifeweaver to heal him so he wouldn’t really have room to be like “why isn’t my mercy on me”. Heal him ofc but I would reccomend playing safer. It’s okay to play with the genji i just think the safer you are the better.

[@bearisflop]

Also your playing against junkrat and you keep trying to play inside rooms that won’t work play walls instead of rooms because junkrat always wins in a closed room. Also the general role is never ever pocket a tracer. Only dmg boost tracer when tracer is going in for the begging of fight IF SHE HAS SIGHTS AND ISNT HIDING. Usually tracer wants to be kinda secretive and pick off back line without ppl seeing her.

[@bearisflop]

I also feel like. Sometimes your pulling your gun out at the wrong times it was definitely okay to kill the Ashe, but keeping your tank alive was more important at that point, especially when your other support doesn’t heal much.

[@stardustOW]

her movement is pretty good for being stuck gold but her beams arent the best but overall amazing for gold❤

Biggest thing i noticed is using ga too much (using superjump as positioning at times) and get too close to your teammates, or ga to use beam when you can reach without ga and be safer in high ground. Also DMG boosting soldier would have been better and safer, genji and tracer aren't THAT good of characters to dmg boost compared to soldier

[@ez243]

Im Bronze Silver. I watch many gold and plat Mercy vids that are not as smooth as this Mercy. This Mercy is very much better than me at my Silver. I thats not usually what i see. Well done! EDIT: that Mercy is Diamond now. Makes sense.

[@hy930807]

This mercy keep looking at the beam target. Could looked around more

[@megancauthon1852]

Okay I’m gonna need your take on my game play. Only been following you and flats now for 4yrs lmao.

[@SleepingRightNow12]

i would say that for most low elo mercy's (bronze to low plat) would better with their rez key unbind

[@flareb99]

Honestly just keep playing, its mercy. Ranking up solo que is a lot of gambling with her. They are decent enough with their understanding of sightlines, they will get to diamond eventually

[@ToraStrife]

This is the problem I see in the low ranks, with Mercy and LW, these characters depend on someone on the team to make a difference, don't get me wrong, this mercy played a lot, it was incredible, but these heroes are highly dependent, they are Multipliers, they multiply the quality of the ally, but if the ally is 1, no matter how much it multiplies it will always be one. In this game, the enemy had better individuals, and yours were in the middle of your rank, they were not capable of making a difference and you do not have the tools or have few (Battle Mercy) to win the match, honestly I would have changed support, for a kiriko, lucio or Zen and would have taken the offensive. You can say that we have already seen mercy players making a difference, and honestly if she didn't use the pistol, she made a difference using someone else, what is valid is the character's proposal, but when you depend on someone and no one can overcome the enemy, defeat is certain, because you cannot make a difference on your own, as you do not have the tools to do so.

[@paIeville]

its 0 that cant be multiplied not 1 lol

[@MeeskaMooska420]

This is a case of what I like to call Suicide Mercy. I am one of them we are small collective of merci who are really good at playing Mercy however, when push comes to shove we make ill decisions to Rez and it is a 50/50 split that we pull off the rez however no matter what we give our life to the cause.

[@Spluge_McDucktv]

Hey! I was the McDuck that liked the scuffed PoG video! ❤

[@vitorizado]

this mercy hates high grounds tbh

[@FunBoyHereThere]

Put this mercy in jay3’s “Do they deserve a higher rank?”

[@0sirisVb]

damn if that was very good diamond movement i should fr go back to playing comp lol

[@harrydoolan]

If this is the movement I have to compete against them I'm uninstalling the game. Dudess movement was insane g.

[@filmjolk448]

I'm a diamond mercy and i would say maybe plat for this player. but its great that they move a lot.

[@Milelf]

I'm hardly STUCK on gold and damn I feel like my teams are...cuestinables, so I created a new account and afer a few qp I went straight to comp, after 6 rounds I got diamon 3 These match making is broken, its impossible Im so done

[@carlospena4387]

my sis needs to learn to super jump rez

[@Lilian040210]

Damn, this is some high brain cell count gameplay, we rarely see those😔😩🤗

[@miphasgrace8980]

I don’t really see mercy players blue beaming their tanks. It can be a huge play. Blue beam isn’t only for a dps. Ram nemesis/ult, high charge zarya, Winston leap, rein 1v1/shatter, anything Queen does. It’s a good habit to pocket a tank every once in a while and give them an advantage

[@MinRoxy93]

As a Mercy player in Overwatch, I would like to know which one is more difficult, playing on pc orplaying on console? I've been playing on both but overwatch specifically I played only on console and its not that hard for me but my friends say they could never... I would like to hear some opinions, does it depend on who you play or just in general?

[@RiptideST]

depends on the hero you use. on mercy, using controller is probably fine, while on someone like genji it'd be a lot harder. in general, i'd say keyboard is a little better for overwatch

[@yeyooo841]

I have tried console (xbox, ps and switch) and in my opinion PC is easier and better, because you can use different key binds and the sensitivity in general helps you flick faster, in console its a bit slower and harder IMO

[@impurr5681]

Pc seems so much easier. Like 3000 times easier. This is not me being rude, but I do not understand how people play fps on console at all lol. But this may just be bias since I made the console to pc switch about 5 years ago.

[@uhohhhhstinky3428]

As a console player I WISH WE HAD AN FOV SLIDER. I have 450 Hours on OW2 and I will never feel comfortable unless I can sit at 105 FOV I hate it

[@MinRoxy93]

@@RiptideST that makes sense, I tried paying widow and I must say it’s harder on console indeed.

[@AMQWERTY379]

Am I right to assume that this mercy played a lot of mercy parkour maps?

[@personalbudakai9161]

maybe ;)

[@xXxAilishmagexXx]

8 min in, I'm not seeing any jumps. and I feel like they aren't 100% sure how the map looks etc

[@GS-el8ll]

i think one of the most important skills is knowing when to switch off mercy, ana/kiri would be crushing some of these lobbies

[@sp1da602]

as a silver player, this is helping me eventually learn how to rank up to gold

[@kipcornkruimel7698]

I’m a high plat Mercy main and my dream is just for this guy to rate my gameplay sometime, it’s more going on than this one and way more coordinated 😭

[@rezq9109]

Mercy is an easy character, but she is ungorfivable to bad positioning once you reach slightly above average players. I already see from first battle positioning that gold is where this person belongs for now. I see boosted people playing like this too, so used to get away with so many mistakes bc of how high mobility their hero is (or tanky, or cheesy etc.), and when actual good players start farming them - they suddenly realise... that it's not them, it's their teammates. Smh.

[@kibi_112]

I feel like movent can carry you into maybe low diamond and (I play on console so I can't speak for PC) and then you'll just get farmed

[@Overwatch2010]

If this Mercy is console you can super jump by GA and then circle on Playstion for the other super jump as Mercy, I've done it ever since I started it, Very helpful

[@Sumbol7224]

crouch for super jump, jump for sling. those are the bases for mercy movement

[@Sumbol7224]

@inmysoulTLH crouch during ga to super jump, also known as pressing circle on controller

[@Sumbol7224]

@inmysoulTLH jumping on ga does a sling, the horizontal boost. crouching is for super jump

[@ninethails]

How someone deserves diamond if they don’t pocket a soldier on hg over a Genji that can’t hk while being boosted lmao
