How I Got NEAR PERFECT Mercy Stats in Overwatch 2

[@Skiesti]

Sooo how's everyone been adjusting to Mercy so far?

[@megadumbo6]

Feels worse tbh the GA cooldown is weird now that is starts ticking a lot later

[@valkyrie2832]

I unfortunately haven’t gotten to play much because my internet went out a few days after S4 started and STILL hasn’t been fixed, but I think GA feels a little better. If not, then the same. I do miss crit heals but I understand why it was removed and am honestly kinda glad it was, because it was annoying when playing as DPS. But overall, I haven’t really felt the need to “adjust” much, she feels pretty similar to me. I just found myself healing slightly more.

[@Connector7th]

The delay cd after GA will hold you down. Other than that, it's the healing for me. We're back! Also, Skiesti, we need to see no death matches!

[@zillahstar]

I am now a brig/moira player 😂

[@seegurke277]

I've been playing a lot more ground mercy & using slingshots 99% of the time because the ga feels so clunky😭

[@iko111]

Thank you so much, It's really helps to get better on mercy moves and decisions between healing and dmg boost, also about the second support charging ult is a very important point to learn 💙

[@juanbriones268]

I used to get higher healing output overall with the crit healing I could get between 13k to 16k healing now i barely touch 9-10k with decent damage boosting I really miss it (crit healing would probably have saved bap at 0:26 for example)

[@Shmethan]

Yeah I love how the fun part of her soft rework got taken away. I definitely think it's valid that it was annoying to fight against, I wish they would have tuned it down or given it a different nerf to balance out the new advantage

[@Askorti]

Definitely feel like I'm forced to spend a bit more time on the yellow beam now compared to S3. Also, GA interaction with obstacles and losing LoS on allies feels all kinds of glitchy and unpredictable. All in all, still soldiering on, but not a fan of the current state of things.

[@yomama2376]

Right i used to be able to get 70% dmg beam but now its more like 50/50 :( them treating mercy as a main healer and buffing heals now is not good for her kit tbh. I think the current devs dont rlly get that

[@ultwifeform]

I usually average 70-85% dmg boost per game and now im struggling hard to get 75+% 😭 it makes me want to scream

[@ArturoPladeado]

"not a fan of the current state of things" Mercy mains for the last who knows how long in a nutshell :s

[@deusvult6920]

​@Yo Mama good. She's a hero like Moira. She should be easy to get a baseline value out if but she shouldn't get a ton of free value. She requires 0 aim.

[@dankdilly]

​@deusvult6920 I mean, OW is not all about aiming lol. There are many other games that are though. Most of the healers in general don't really aim to heal if you think about it, mostly just Ana and bap and I know ana has a setting that helps her hit allies and Bap's is like an AoE but that's it.

[@TamWam_]

honestly your content is what made me get better at mercy, now i’m more aware on positioning and other things! i remember having an amazing game in comp i think? i got around 50 assists, 17k heals (haven’t gotten over 20k yet!) and in almost every game i have the least deaths. i’m only silver-gold btw lol, with only 60 hours on mercy

[@justacursedlego286]

the video: a literal Vietnam 2.0 Also Skiesti: relaxing music

[@mysiklp2509]

Man I’m gonna have to start watching your content Found you on the video posted after this talking ab patch updates and watching your gameplay is giving me so much useful information that I just haven’t been able to comprehend since the switch from ow1 to ow2

[@minarothacker]

these are my favorite type of mercy videos to watch

[@Skiesti]

I've got quite a few in a playlist if you haven't seen those ones yet but I do plan on doing more of these :>

[@clashwithhannah5434]

10:34 nah saying “he missed” was wayyy too humble

[@ultwifeform]

i love you ski, youre the only one keeping me a mercy main at this point😭

[@Skiesti]

I am so sorry but proud of you for hanging in there 😭

[@GrassFudge7]

The explanations are so helpful and the gameplay is so smooth, shame i dont play mercy at all lol

[@Skiesti]

LMAO hey even though you don't play Mercy, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@GrassFudge7]

@@Skiesti thats because your gameplay is so enjoyable to watch!!

[@nickaleshin7149]

Great vid ski, love the gameplay loved the captioned commentary!

[@yidhragosa4168]

Hey Skiesti! Quick question, how do you maintain high damage boost when you have a high heal output second support that doesn't really heal? (Dps moira kiriko etc)

[@Skiesti]

Well this video is definitely a good watch to answer that question since I had both high DMG boost and high heal output w/ Zen for majority of the game!

[@tessakrempel7713]

skiesti often only dmg boosting in between for half a second, that can get her a tick for a shot on cassidy for example. its just about "are they safe enough now to toggle between heal and damageboost for a bit til theyre full life again". little things like dmg boost ultimates and / or abilities make a big difference aswell

[@Robertogonzalez-jr7ey]

Thank you so much for your service, from watching all your videos I was finally able to climb I was hard stuck bronze last season but now I’m gold and I’m getting into high plat lobbies and winning so thank you❤

[@jcast1749]

4:10 LMFAOOOOO ok ok, did ANYONE else just imagine the junkrat barking into his mic?

[@J1NXXXX]

would you ever do a how-to type of video on your movement? idk if it’s just me but your movement looks so much cleaner than mine when i play mercy. (3:11 for example)

[@Skiesti]

I do have a movement guide but that mostly goes over the tech itself and then lets the individual find a style that feels comfortable for them. Making a how to of my specific style of movement is a good idea though! I'll see what I can do in the future for smth like that :>

[@cryonix2382]

Great video Skiesti! It's nice to see your plays and decision making; helps me out with my own gameplay. For adapting to S4 Mercy, it honestly hasn't been that bad. I do miss the increase healing on critical allies, but it hasn't impacted my games that much with only some specific scenarios where having it would have been nice. S4 GA isn't horrible either; I'd still say it's an improvement from S3, even if slightly. I don't know if it's just me, but I barely feel the pain from the late cooldown. Of course, there are times where I notice and it annoys me, but learning how to be mindful of my GAs from S3 has helped mitigate its impact. Making sure each GA has a purpose, especially SJs or Slingshots now, helps me not use it when it's unnecessary. This, in turn, makes sure I have GA whenever I absolutely need it. Curving around walls and props to protect me as I wait out the cooldown is also something essential that has helped mitigate the consequences of it. In all, Mercy doesn't feel as horrible as it seemed in the patch notes for me. There are definitely some kinks with her in S4 that are an annoyance, but it's nothing I can't play around with good positioning and GA use.

[@eriiicj.1558]

Not healing Junk to keep his position secret??? 😳😳🤯🤯 This is why I’ll always be a paper 4 support 😂

[@rottinghaven7809]

i miss the crit healing alot i loved having layered healing but i do understand why they took it away kinda just wish they nerf it but overall im still okay with how mercy is lol (i kept thinking i still have crit healing from time to time and i get shocked when my tank dies lol)

[@AlluneArt]

Amazing video Ski!❤ I love to see how professionals play mercy it helps me to learn what I need to be doing! Thank you! Keep up the amazing work! 😊

[@brainfreeze7549]

The youtube ghosts recommended your channel right as my friend invited me to play comp with them, thank you for all the guides :D

[@Skiesti]

Great timing! And good luck with your games!

[@228logan]

Great video! Your Mercy is always on point🌻

[@Skiesti]

Thank you 😇

[@GeekandGlory]

This is a good watch to help with my own Mercy game play. Thanks!

[@emilytinney3941]

Insane stats!!! You explaining your decision making is so helpful

[@casdean]

i feel like i learned a lot from this! i would love more gameplay vids in the future :>

[@troutking6542]

i find that mercy pairs well with ball, anna, ashe and genji. that way I can just put the staff up the ashe and never leave her while the ann takes care of the rest of the team. With this strat I usually end up with 2k healing per ten mins.

[@maricelragasajo9681]

plssss do more short mercy videos like this 😍

[@composerdani4458]

Great vid! Any advice on improving backwards GA? I'm a noob and haven't gotten down that move yet.

[@Skiesti]

I have a movement guide I recommend checking out if you haven't seen yet that includes how to do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3LUiK1mgNqohqs As for improving, it just takes practice and finding which situations are best to use it in :>

[@Connector7th]

Ram and Mercy is absolutely destructive.

[@Skiesti]

DMG boost Ram goes kinda silly ngl

[@svalah]

not ski responding to comments while she’s streaming LOL

[@Skiesti]

She's a multi tasking Queen 💅

[@Wibblie.]

I see your game play and see how I do somethings similiar and it makes me happy because if you can get to gm, so can I. Though I am hard stuck in Bronze 5. Maybe It will change. I know I am doing what I can for my team after watching this video

[@danin6895]

The healing nerf hurts so bad but I understand why they had to change it 😩

[@Skiesti]

It does hurt and I also understand why but I wish they had just nerfed the crit healing or made it so it's only in Valkyrie

[@keyzze6068]

I also feel like GA jumps don't go as high anymore. And I hate how inconsistent the GA is now. Is it 2 sec? Is it less? More? It throws me off to much. About the removal of the healing boost for alies under 50%hp... don't think they needed to completely remove it, just reduce it. I played mercy basically the whole season 3 because she was so incredibly fun even with the ga nerf but now she feels annoying to play, it's not fun or even that engaging anymore. So sad

[@JinnaiT]

The compliments yes... You know who never ever gets compliments? Dps

[@Pimpachu-X]

Great video! I think we can all relate to certain moments shown as Mercy players. Happy gaming! 👍

[@duongnguyen-s1i]

i agree that we mercy overreact at first but she is just less fun each time, before old heal but BEST MOVEMENT. Then: BEST HEAL but worse movement and now it's old heal and a bit better ga but not prime. Valk used to regen 22.5 hp but now 15 like i still like it but still :( but we get a passive that can help in a niche way but needs to be buff or figure out what to di when your pocket is full but u r low. I still lov mercy but we are kinda losing per season

[@noprem1um]

were u able to reach gm with mercy only? Because I do find it very hard to actually carry with mercy, since ur depending on ur team’s performance so much

[@Skiesti]

Yes and I'm able to stay there consistently for years. There are things you can do so try not to focus on your team's performance so much

[@allyb5111]

What is the yellow overlay called? I would love one!

[@Skiesti]

It's just yellow in the color blind settings

[@belvitaflaxbiscuit]

hii!!! where would i send a vid of my gameplay for mercy bingo? i would appreciated any tips you can give for my gameplay!! i’m currently gold 2, looking to improve!

[@bigbirdbirdbird]

Hey Skiesti, I've been struggling a LOT with genjis this season as my mmr has been slightly increasing. It feels like I can't play ground mercy safely because of them, but being in the air is just as dangerous because of other heroes targeting me. Its been a huge battle to stay alive AND focus on healing my team. Do you or anyone else have advice/could you make an educational vod like this one on how to deal with being hard focused by dive characters? Tracer as well. Thank you :)

[@bigbirdbirdbird]

Or if you have a video already covering this topic, I'd love a link to it

[@apexiw]

Yeah, just swap for someone better there

[@bigbirdbirdbird]

@@apexiw yep, i usually just swap to moira at that point to return the annoying peskiness. But I thought since skiesti has done mercy only, didn't know if she had advice for this

[@Skiesti]

You should check out my other commentary videos. There's definitely some vs. dive heroes that might be helpful for you

[@-NoNo.]

At this point I’m just asking for us to be able to start the cooldown sooner again and a bit more healing in valk only. But then again I haven’t been playing overwatch much

[@Skiesti]

I would settle for that. I would take little crumbs at this point 😢

[@-NoNo.]

@@Skiesti people say mercy players are entitled but I have never seen individuals settle more in things than mercy players😭

[@ultwifeform]

​​@@-NoNo. No because literally. Ill never understand why people think mercy players are entitled. I hope someday they nerf a couple dps into the floor and have dps players riot so we can make fun of them in return😭

[@eightbitzombie]

​@@-NoNo. right like they wouldn't be upset if their main got changed literally every season. 🥲

[@nickname6181]

I have a question regarding boosting Bastions Ult, does it make the radius larger or what exactly is happening if I boost his ult as mercy?

[@enderman6980]

Damage...boost... doesn't increase the radius. It just deals more damage 🤔

[@nickname6181]

@@enderman6980 thank you! I've been wondering about that for a while now! isn't it pretty hard to survive bastions Ult though, if you're a non-tank, even if you're barely in the radius?

[@benjiblazed]

Its def. an adjustment, but like you said we adapt and overcome the hurdles we are thrown every season it seems now… lol

[@EmmaLu1310]

Junkrat doesn’t deserve the snark our Angel gives him :( even if he is super quirky and silly

[@Skiesti]

That's what I'm sayin :( Justice for Junkrat

[@Peterparker43284]

I love mercy smmmm Also I have a hard time like integrating key lessons into my actual gameplay bc my anxiety gets in the way and I just panic-play Does anyone have any tips? Been playing mercy since ovw one came out And I play on Xbox and sometimes ps4

[@ArturoPladeado]

I miss the bonus healing under 50%, I'll admit 50% increased healing was a bit insane. I saved a Cassidy from a situation that he should not have survived but come on, they could have nerfed to 25% while under 50% so she could still have the triage feel without making teammates damn near invincible in certain situations.

[@razrv3lc]

It wasn’t *that* much. Outside of Valk, she was still healing less per second than Ana’s normal shots do lol

[@iTreasure]

That Junk was quite a nice person

[@lillrice27]

CRIT HESLING IN VALK WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR MERCY 😭😭

[@chen6247]

lovev your gameplay!!!

[@whipmayfair2206]

Oh, I forgot I wasn't watching the stream and tried to comment sunflowers for Imp's 38 months.

[@OGBlackJackk]

I noticed you don’t use crouch for super jump but rather you flick up. Is there a reason why you don’t use crouch?

[@Skiesti]

Flicking my camera up and then jumping instead of just crouching gives me a lot more flexibility to control the angle and height of my SJ. Think of it like going in a straight line up (crouch) vs. in a curved arc (look up and jump)

[@OGBlackJackk]

@@Skiesti Oh yes that makes so much sense! Thank you!!

[@shanedawsonlover99]

See I felt like the GA jump wasn’t as high either! But maybe I’m doing something wrong 😂

[@bre_me]

Junk and Torb comp... ya hate to see it 😂😂

[@AlmaCayasso]

I heard my name on your video! 😊

[@ihavecrabs56]

they need to bring back old ga. reduce her hps, remove self healing during valk, even remove rez IDC they need to bring back old ga. i cannot play mercy since season 3 started. my beam is constantly detaching, i find myself spamming ga while its still on cd, i cannot even super jump as high as i used to for some reason. she feels terrible. i wont be playing her until ga nerf is reverted. since i was a mercy 1 trick, that means i wont be playing ow.

I think this junk wanted somme blue beam love too! ♥ :3 XD
