POV: You're an UNKILLABLE Mercy in Overwatch 2 | Top 500 Mercy Gameplay

[@Skiesti]

What do we think about the new thumbnail style for commentary videos?

[@CadeCraze]

It definitely got my attention, I love art style of your other thumbnails though, they add personality.

[@whitewatch_ow]

It's nice, but the sound when new text appears is kinda annoying imo since there is a lot of text you put in

[@Skiesti]

​@@whitewatch_ow People were having trouble telling when the text changed so that was a solution that was suggested quite a bit

[@Skiesti]

​@@CadeCraze I'll still be keeping the other style for my guides and tip videos!

[@pantsdraws]

@@Skiesti maybe having a sound that isn’t so dingy- like maybe a little boop sound or something that isn’t too distracting from the game if that makes sense

[@cowzle]

“What would you do if they buffed her pistol for some reason? I’d scream and cry and throw up.” That guy is a prophet. 11:31

[@Skiesti]

LMAOO and I did scream about it later on

[@-NoNo.]

It’s so shocking to me how mercy was revered as the worst support, to all of a sudden becoming S tier… like be so real once soujurn gets deleted, mercy will be right back where she started and I hate that thought because I know that she will likely stay there due to peoples irrational hate towards the character.

[@-NoNo.]

If I could ask for anything it would be mercy can rez and use beam at the same time

[@Skiesti]

Pretty much! People complain and complain about Mercy and her rez and her DMG boost and it's like... You didn't care in S1 because she didn't have someone that relied on her to one shot but now that Soj needs Mercy to one shot in S2, Mercy is a BIG problem for people. It's so silly. They'll stop complaining about Mercy once Soj gets nerfed more again since she'll stop being used so often

[@dankdilly]

@Skiesti yeah the one shots don't really matter, if she hits someone with a headshot it is almost impossible to heal them up quick enough plus people aren't always gonna be full health all the time so she usually confirms the kill anyway but that's just my experience lol. She is just OP even without mercy.

[@-NoNo.]

@@HateradeConsumer if ur anything above plat, the characters you play starts to matter and just because you play whatever you want because your enemy teams can’t counter you doesn’t mean that the character isn’t fundamentally flawed… putting “lol” at the end of a statement doesn’t make it correct and I would rather take advice from literal snail than listen to someone who’s unironically named pinky pie

[@-NoNo.]

@@HateradeConsumer get anywhere near me and that would be your last mistake

[@BuggingBeetle]

I've watched your like guide videos on mercy and they have helped me quite a bit! I've stopped making bad rezzes and trading my life for my teams. But I didn't really grasp the movement guide so if you do end up making a PT 2 I would definitely watch it!

[@Skiesti]

I'm planning on making a part 2 of the movement guide that talks about when to use certain techs over others and little tips for them. The movement guide I have up now demonstrates how to actually perform the tech

[@Meep222]

@@Skiesti follow up on this?? ❤❤❤

[@Skiesti]

@@Meep222 I've been waiting for them to stop changing Mercy's GA so that it won't be immediately irrelevant next season :(

[@nurn4046]

Watching your videos has helped my mobility so much, I only die once or twice a game. Hoping to get back to plat soon!

[@thoet7270]

Good luck! I'm stuck in gold but I hope I can get there

[@Skiesti]

Good luck, you've got this! Also I'm happy that the videos have helped so much :>

[@itsevenow6613]

Happy New year! Nice video and interesting decision making during this one. Loved the "possible mercy changes" chat that turned out to be prophetic The ping sound is a good addition, I do get tunnel vision on the game a bit sometimes and miss text. I agree with others that a slightly softer sound would work better, but it's a good quality of life change :)

[@TheOzxc]

I love seeing what goes through your head. And look at that, you added sounds when a new comment appears! tysm! Another suggestion relating to that - consider making the sound effect quieter (or playing with different sound effects maybe?), since it now basically trumps all other sounds :D If you want you can take a look at eleyzhau's or Animetic's videos for inspiration

[@AnymMusic]

I finally understand why Flats calls high ranked Mercy mains "fighter jets" lmao

[@Muzick]

@7:38 - Part 2 of mercy movement would be much appreciated! Your Mercy movement is amazing!

[@theneonwolf5162]

10:35 enemy tank jumpscare +the way bap tried to jump away and got sucked back by the orisa ult feels like that one SpongeBob moment where Patrick gets roped back by Sandy 😂😂

[@FeyFamiliar]

I know it's kinda different since you/most of the OW youtubers + streamers play on PC, but if you do end up making a part 2 on Mercy movement/tech, even just a few console/controller tips would be very appreciated! I feel like it isn't a massive difference but I've also played on both and they do play at least slightly different. As someone who never played OW1 it's been a lot of fun playing and learning about OW2, sad I missed out on 1 haha. Regardless, thank you for the wonderful videos they're very helpful and entertaining!!

[@Skiesti]

I actually have a console video in the works with another Mercy player that you can look forward to soon :>

[@FeyFamiliar]

@@Skiesti Ohhh! I can't wait to watch it then! Thank you for the reply, love watching your videos 😊

[@timrich7861]

Unless you have a controller with paddles, you want to put Mercy's jump button on the Left Trigger. It's an unused button for her anyway, so it makes sense. Then, remap Rez to the X, A, or B button, depending on the console. As you already know, you have to be highly mobile with Mercy in order to survive and contribute, so you don't want your right thumb coming off the right analog stick outside of rezzing. I do the same thing for Lucio. Jump on Left Trigger and Cross Fade on X.

[@thoet7270]

New sub here, love the videos and the educational value you give! However, I'm NGL, the ding sound that plays everytime a new subtitle is added is slightly annoying and too loud. Maybe it's just me, if so sorry :( Btw, who do you prefer to boost between Sojourn and Soldier? I've seen that you pocketed Sojourn this game a lot, but isn't visor better then overclock overall? I'd love to hear your opinion ;)

[@Skiesti]

Yes, I've heard the feedback on the sound and will be adjusting it for the next video. It was requested in the first place for viewers to have an easier time telling when the text changed Also it depends. Soj is your default because you allow her to one shot again. If Soldier has a better position/sightline then you'd pocket him but otherwise it'd be Soj

[@Byebyery]

I love watching your videos and learning from the greats :)

[@jade8037]

Quick question! What's your usual damage/healing ratio. I play pretty casually, only dabbling in comp to get the placement comp point. In quickplay matches, I find myself getting around 50/50 (sometimes leaning heals if we have a Lucio/Zen). Should it be more 60/40 (damage being 60)?

[@Skiesti]

Yeah, I'd recommend it being around 60/40! I think on my account right now I have around 64/36

[@suprjay23]

Absolutely love playing mercy watching your gameplays are amazing and good way to learn to play better especially me who is in gold

[@JustAnotherBun-]

Quick Question! Sometimes I'm in the backline with my dps. He and the rest of my team dies, so I'm stuck in the back...hiding. Usually I spam the 'group up' so they can respawn, peak and I can fly out; but sometimes it doesn't always work out. Any advice?

[@peej6400]

Just walk out and die so you can regroup with them. It's worse to get staggered.

[@Skiesti]

If your team dies and there's no way for you to safely get out, it's better for you to just let the enemy kill you rather than stagger yourself and have your team either have to take the fight at a disadvantage or have to wait for you

[@Arnslop]

LMFAO that dva bomb as the first round finished made me scream

[@pally3370]

wouldve been absolutely hilarious if OW2 devs were like "We've see mercy's winrate spike up in all ranks, especially higher ones, so we're going to be altering her a little bit in preperation for S3:" and then they just revert the pistol "buffs"

[@recreational_Liposuction]

11:30 GIRL BYE YOU SO FR FOR THAT CAUSE LITERALLY

[@emb0280]

love these commentaries!

[@Skiesti]

Thank you! :>

[@anthonylo2389]

How do you do that backward GA to a high ground without facing the distraction , like i was watching it over and over again. Confused

[@xandanitrying2917]

I miss this mercy movement

[@Skiesti]

You and me both

[@vanneurrutia1641]

What is the program that you use for us to be able to see what keybinds are you pressing? Big fan as always! Hope I can play in the tournament hosted by you ✨💕

[@Skiesti]

[@glitchygoose2492]

Love the new thumbnail style but idk about the pings. They get pretty annoying after a bit

[@Skiesti]

Yup, I've heard the feedback about it and will be adjusting it to either be quieter or have a different sound play

[@boochiecat]

hi ski. where did you get your intro transition from?

[@aurel-san8403]

The problem with mercy is that she’s pretty much impossible to nerf since her usage is so various amongst ranks. The pick rate is absolutely crazy at every ranks tho. The damage boost meta is so powerful but can’t really be nerfed otherwise she just become useless

[@NicolasChapadosGirard]

The sound showing the next text is nice to have.

[@lilm0nix3]

do you deal with a lot of lag in overwatch 2 also or am i just unlucky 😭

[@Skiesti]

No, I don't really deal with that much lag

[@lopsidedanxiety4190]

is it the massive fps drops that make your game go down to like 4fps? and in the middle of teamfights it flickers to 30 every so often, i've been having that since the s2 patch and idk what's wrong tbh, although this didn't work for me in ow2 u can try and update your gpu drivers since that seems to help fps drops on other games for me

[@YoSoFunnyx3]

@@lopsidedanxiety4190 I have been having weird rubber banding, rez animation doesnt finish despite getting the rez off sometimes, and last night had a game with no HUDs, no tab, no team chat etc. I didn't have any changes to latency or frames for any of the above though. Idk whats happening but it gets me killed sometimes.

[@Sideshow_Jim]

Wow I main as Mercy a lot I had no idea that character had this type of movement. I guess I need to do some training.

[@Piemasta9000]

I'm a Lucio main, I love Mercy for the same reason I love Lucio. Dat Movement

You are so good at Mercy

[@LixzsSs]

I want to be like you 🥹🫴🏼

[@Thund3rr]

Coould you link the code for this game? I would like to watch from some other team members point of view as well!

[@Skiesti]

I unfortunately don't have the code for this game anymore, I'm sorry! :(

[@bodacious12]

Man I just want a burst heal/cleanse as her E and double rez as her ult (like pre nerf Valkyrie but without the Valkyrie)

[@bodacious12]

Maybe changing damage boost to a fire rate boost so it no longer messes with breakpoints and has a more even effect on heroes

[@Skiesti]

Fire rate boosts could mess DPS up really badly since you're frequently swapping from healing to DMG boost and their fire rate would be constantly changing

[@jaysondoyle5627]

Does playing mercy make you feel like a spectator at all? I start falling asleep when I play her

[@FirebirdTalking]

So as new comer to your channel the first things I gather are: make love to the sojourn and play the floor is lava? Ngl sounds like fun

[@genlyai3165]

honestly, would it be THAT terrible if they removed mercy's ressurect?? i really enjoy her playstyle but its been soooo unstable finding good value on res @-@. its kinda her signature thing, but i really miss a more reliable skill :(

[@Skiesti]

IMO I'd almost rather have a different ability. Most Mercy players average between 3 - 5 rezzes per 10 minutes (with the rare exception of a few games where a lot of rezzes happen to be safe) and it'd be nice to have an ability that is used more often

[@TiagoMorbusSa]

Watching this video in April 2023 and they have buffed her pistol and messed with the GA cooldown. Sadge.

[@_EXP626_]

I wish I could get to this level. Right now on mercy I never get above five deaths but I want to get to never above three. I do play casually and for fun (still in competitive) I don’t really care to get to gm or anything.

[@RPGGUY2500]

Deaths happen, especially because of how people focus supports hard. Consistency is more important than sheer impressive numbers!

[@Skiesti]

Playing casually and for fun doesn't mean you can't still have goals for improving! :> 0 death games are relatively rare to come by. The goal for deaths is generally to not have deaths above 5 per 10 although getting it around 3 or 4 per 10 is even better which will happen with consistency in surviving/movement

[@81ue93]

Hello! I have a question. What do you think about supports getting called “healers”? I’m just wondering because I know there are people who don’t really care while there are others who have really strong opinions about it. I’ve seen people who refuse to call it supports while others who get offended for being called healer. Your opinion about it won’t change anything, I just like to know peoples opinions =)

[@Skiesti]

I think it's incredibly silly. Supports and healers are interchangeable words w/ the same meaning in OW IMO. If you say healer, it's not like you're meaning it literally as in this person *ONLY* heals, everyone should know that you're talking about support too when you say healer and healer too when you say support

[@zeldafan9656]

People are being so overdramatic about the ding sound. It's only 1 or 2 db too loud, and it's really not that grating anyways. Great video Skiesti! Love to see my favorite Mercy players position in the same places as me 😄

[@dr.seesaw8894]

Wait Murphy is sojourn's dog? I thought she was her daughter this whole time 😭

[@Skiesti]

😭 Murphy is Sojourn's dog, she has a spray of Murphy too

[@benjamincoyle5316]

As for the thumbnail it kinda makes it look kinda generic. I mean there are A LOT of streamers posting their games to KZbin, and the new thumbnail just doesn't stand out. The face she's making kinda makes me think of someone making a Mercy machinima in Garry's Mod. (if that reference makes 0 sense don't worry about it) If making the cool handdrawn-inspired art is a hassle then I would have at least liked you to keep the "Commentary" window so viewers know what to expect. Maybe it isn't as click-baity as the Algorithm would like, but I feel like there could be a balance. I loved the video and it continues to amaze me how much thought and spatial awareness goes into picking choosing and avoiding certain angles and I love getting to "hear" your thought process in real time.

[@maintankonly8336]

everyday I thank god for not playing in this elo

[@starpower1884]

Please never use the ding sound again for the the appearing on screen. I would rather have a fart sound or the vine boom sound play than that ding lol.
