29:18 For reference the general advice for optimal dmg boost usage is 2k per 10min lol

[@trisfaleel]

well less now with the changes it's like 1666 now or even lower cuz u need to heal for longer for the same amount of health

[@MetroAndroid]

You can damage boost one person for 25% extra damage or you can just do 100% damage yourself lol

[@bigfudge2031]

it is just not possible to get that below iamond level, You can have 65% damage boost and still not even reach 2k because people don't hit enough shots, not to mention players are also dumber, so will probably need to be healed more for their bad positioning.

[@SATURN-ow]

@@bigfudge2031 That's not true, I hit that and above in my gold-plat QP games, even just having a Bastion guarantees 2,5k-3k per 10. You just need to know when and what to damage boost. I'm not criticising Bogur, I think it's obvious he didn't need to learn all the intricacies of dmg boost with that aim, btw. But if you are serious about climbing on Mercy, especially from bronze to plat, then you need to be extremely resourceful and creative with your beams. Mercy is horrible to climb with but it's not impossible and the key is either cracked aim or, more often, good dmg boost management. Skiesti hit that in her unranked to GM during placements and up until the end of it. Also dmg boost % can easily go up to 70-75%, Mercy's healing is just a delay to death and in some circumstances it's better to dmg boost someone who'll die anyway because you won't be able to sustain them either way. This is especially relevant after S9, Mercy can't keep up, you're better to secure an elim with dmg boost than waste time on yellow beam. I get that some comps will take you below 2k per 10, that happens a lot with short range/rush comps. But, provided you're not whipping out the glock à la Bogur, Mercy is below suboptimal in that situation. Even Bogur's play style highlights Mercy's weakness; other supports can do what she does and they can do it better, (including shooting down squishies). That's the reality of playing Mercy and when you're not hitting that 2k per 10 or more, you're missing out on so much utility that you might as well swap :/ Regardless, I get it, playing Mercy with low rank teammates is frustrating but they do hit (some) shots and you can absolutely get up to 2k!

[@CB-wn2uq]

It used to be 2-3k during 6v6, and 2k for when dmg boost was 30%. Now the average has dropped to maybe 1.8k/10 min.

[@QuickBurn70]

I love the fact that they got Lucie Pohl in on this. She's so fun.

[@lenacarey2333]

I apologize for the essay I’m about to leave on this video, but I feel really passionate about it. Hearing a male content creator talk about the harassment you get as a female support player is such a breath of fresh air. There’s SO MANY assumptions that people make about Mercy players. That all people who like Mercy are women, and that because you play Mercy, you must not be mechanically skilled enough for other characters. Just the assumption that they’re a woman alone is enough to make people tilt. Because to them, women are just bad at video games, and having a woman on your team is an automatic loss. The worst harassment I’ve ever experienced in a video game was a game I played in Overwatch 1 in high plat support. I spoke over mic one time and both dps players spent the rest of the game sexually harassing me. They were saying things that are genuinely too gross to repeat. It’s been at least 6 years, but I still remember it vividly. It felt like actual torture being in that lobby. I have very thick skin, you need to if you’re a woman playing competitive games. But that pushed me to my limit. This is something that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, but it’s happened to every female support main at least once. I really hope that Bogur speaking out and saying “hey, the harassment Mercy players receive is real” might lead to a change in how people treat others, and in the public perception of Mercy players/female support mains. I’d actually say that things have gotten a lot better than they used to be for women in gaming. I don’t get harassed the second I turn my mic on anymore. People will usually give me a chance to speak before they start sexually harassing me, or being misogynistic. But we still have a long way to go.

[@dollblossom_]

as much as i want to say this might change something, i think the problem is way too deeply rooted. i always was too anxious to join vc bc i knew of the horrors, i dont recall if anything was ever said to me. but the fact this toxic mentality is in valo, league, everywhere it feels.. it is a long way to go. and im worried its going to take longer than this generation since so many parents/ friends dont check behaviors. for the people who dont even HAVE a circle.. thats just scary. looking at the comments on bogurs video felt hostile too. i hope youre doing at least somewhat better now, and i hope you have some close buddies you get to game with and if not i hope its still enjoyable. much love

[@echo.romeo.]

Look... I'm not great at Overwatch. I've been playing since like 2017, and the highest rank I've ever gotten was Diamond. I play Mercy a lot. I do tons of heals and damage boost. And it's really gratifying to hear Bogur say that solo queueing as Mercy sucks because people don't take responsibility for their own actions. Damage boosting DPS that can't hit shots, then get yelled at for not damage boosting. Pocketing a tank just to watch them go in alone and get smoked, then get yelled at for bailing to stay alive. Clutch res on a tank while getting killed by the one squishy on the point, then watching my tank die to that one squishy or just C9. And still, I'm the one that gets the heat for not killing the last guy. There's nothing we can do right.

[@demifolk8940]

Unfortunately this comes from Mercy not giving value that’s directly noticeable, every other support is pretty in your face with their value. Lucio speed boost? Everyone can feel it. Moira healing and damaging? To the dismay of some, noticeable. Even Junos value is right there. 5v5 has really killed Mercys character. Shes so inconsistent now. Because supports have to have aggressive and constant value in teamfights, Mercy struggles in games where you’re having trouble. Mercy is good when you have a DPS or tank popping off, you enable them. But what about those games you struggle in? All of a sudden Mercy is giving the least value out of anyone on the team. And it sucks because Mercy always had value if she stuck around or simply stayed alive because supports didn’t need to constantly pump out damage. And this is not at all the fault of the Mercy players. Theres nothing wrong with wanting to play her. Many characters were killed in the switch to 5v5 and they have been unable to rework in her a way to makes her always useful. Many Mercys I notice are playing REALLY good. Staying alive, good damage boosts. Unfortunately, that does absolutely nothing when the enemy has Illari/Bap who can just melt me and my team while also healing. It fucking sucks that a support cant be more defensive. You are forced to be aggressive constantly

[@orion3465]

The player who left the comment on Skiesti's video about the shit talking she experienced in her game with Bogur is actually my best friend, I went to go check for the VOD to find a timestamp since people were asking but there is no VOD to do that on. I have the discord dms from a year ago (26th October to be precise) where she messaged me about it, and I remember at the time going to check to see for myself. They were on Busan in Diamond 2, her teammates were whining about heals yet had let her get killed by a Genji first fight (first round was on the map with the big drum in the middle) and Bogur also complained about her not healing him despite not being anywhere near her and being in a bad spot. Sure, he wasn't actively name calling her like the people here assume she means, but his chat was definitely picking her apart for any small mistake including calling her a one trick, and the rest of the team weren't exactly being nice to her. Which is a shame because she even admitted that she wouldn't do well on another hero because she was still learning but still switched so Bogur could play Mercy! If I had the VOD I could definitely find the match she's on about, but for some reason the Mercy ones aren't on Bogur's channel unlike the Lifeweaver ones, so portraying her as a liar because she never came back with proof is such bs when there ISN'T a way to get said proof.

[@EmjrRockz]

Thanks for explaining! While I can't take your word for it, (I'd be a fool if I believed everyone on rhe internet) it's nice to believe a bit of that.

Being risky and pulling it off and doing my best to keep my teammates in a good mood all game and just pushing my limits is just the best feeling ever.

The thing about those "Unranked to GM" videos, is that they practically never get the whole experience. They are too competitive and good, meaning that they place way too high at the start. They start at a level where there is at least *some* competence (sometimes Gold, but mostly Plat). Let's see someone ranking Bronze to GM as Mercy... That would be a true descent into madness.

[@anipadbear]

imma about to do it and imma lose my mind

[@Nostradankus]

After watching him glock mercy his way out of plat and diamond, what makes you think he'd struggle to do the same in bronze? Yes, his team mates would be worse, but so is the enemy.

[@heavycritic9554]

​@@Nostradankus Did I say he'd struggle? He'd have to 100% carry every single game. He'd get pretty much no help in winning the game whatsoever, for the entire first three (maybe four) ranks. Every single game in Bronze, Silver and probably both Gold and Plat. Aaaaaaaall the way. And starting in Silver, even more in Gold and then Plat, he'd start to get games where he could actually lose a couple here and there. Yes, really. Some of those players will actually end up in Masters or higher, given time. The "lucky shots" start coming with more frequency. And, of course, you get other smurfs... The thing is, these GM guys have been away from those levels for so long that they don't know what's going on down there. Yeah, those ranks are "bad", but the players in them play the game very differently than it's played in Plat and upwards. If you know, you know. There is a randomness that you just don't get at higher ranks. For one; in those ranks you get people who play on potatoes and all of a sudden they'd just disconnect. Or they have to leave, and don't care about losing SR because, well, they're in Bronze.
