In this video, let's go through some good Mercy habits and some bad ones, based off my own experiences and what I've seen of other Mercy mains!
00:00 - Introduction
00:10 - GOOD: 1. Boop manipulation
00:52 - GOOD: 2. Use the ping system
01:27 - GOOD: 3. Prepare for no escape routes
02:10 - GOOD: 4. Manage your GA cooldown
03:16 - GOOD: 5. Speedboost your team
03:52 - BAD: 1. Wasting beam uptime
04:36 - BAD: 2. Looking down during Rez
05:07 - BAD: 3. Tunnel vision
05:48 - BAD: 4. Prioritizing stats over gameplay
Now available on Steam, Overwatch 2 Season 6 Invasion by Blizzard is Overwatch's biggest season, bringing us some long awaited PVE story missions, a Mercy damage-boost nerf, a whole new null sector themed battlepass including a mythic skin for Ana, and a whole lot of balance changes! Also Illiari, the solar powered support hero has joined the fight

Even in masters I sometimes get "Mercy diff" when enemy mercy have more healing than their ana. It's so cringe that people think that mercy should heal more than dmg boost ugh. Sometimes even second support saying this even tho I feel like I'm doing everything right. Idk who's they learning from, cause all the Mercy pro I watch teach us to prefer damage boost. Ig it's all TikTok gamers

@@sparrowarchive i had a game where i played mercy and had ana, so i tried to dmg boost dps and our tank i played with, but and at the end i got flamed for not healing our dps players or even Ana, and sticking to dmg boost, because I thought if we have Ana, she can also take care of healing if players are in the LOS. guess not...

I love the mention of the bad habit stats > gameplay because I hate when I feel like I'm doing the right thing but my team doesn't know how Mercy works and won't play around our other support and then blame me for "not healing" just because my heals are lower than our other supports. This is usually when I'm dmg boosting other targets but somehow I'll still get blamed for my tank w keying into the enemy with no awareness of the rest of the team.

Not being able to talk freely in a masters 1 lobby is the reason I can’t play to the best of my ability. I like that you pointed out people don’t talk for “valid” reasons. I feel like people should talk about that issue more… because not only am I scared of having games thrown or me preforming worse from toxic teammates if I speak, my teammates can also get angry because they don’t understand why I use the (great) ping system instead!

stats > gameplay is something that i really struggle with and is really annoying when my teammates do it. i've had my other support be SUPER passive just so they can have a zero death game; and while their healing stats are really high because they never went back to spawn, we could have won a lot more team fights if they had been a bit more aggressive and risked dying once or twice.

@mauuuuu5194 10 ай бұрын

About Mercy healing tanks… yeah that happens a lot, and it’s not that you shouldn’t help tank, if tank is getting too much damage and your other supp healing is not enough it’s okay to help! But sometimes my tank is missing like 100hp and Mercy will make all her way to heal the tank and leave dps, I main both her and Ana and when I play mercy I leave tank for Ana cuz nano can be a fight winning ult, but when I play ana, even on Diamond I feel some Mercy players try to heal tank way too much even when is not an emergency and that usually just steals ult charge from the 2nd support…

@monitube1988 11 ай бұрын

I wish more random mates would use the ping system. They see an enemy Reaper sneaking up between us, run away but don't ping him. Result: everyone else from our team is getting killed by his ult. My mates usually also ignore my pings most of the time. But match making seems to be broken since the release on Steam... Playing qp with randoms is placing me in a team with newbies but the opposite team is actually on my skill level. Doesn't help anything if my tank and DPS don't know how to use corners, flanks, pings and when to push :S

i think fixating at all on stats - doesn't matter whose - is keeping you from seeing what actually matters. so much of overwatch can't be quantified, and if you judge your performance or anyone else's based on the numbers, you're not giving yourself the opportunity to learn the nuances of the game.

another good habit is to spin while rezzing and i really mean spin as fast as you can. Due to her wings expanding and being able to block headshots, the more you spin, the lower chance of being headshotted is PLUS it looks funny. As for the stats thing, in order to keep myself in check i try to amplify 100 damage for every 1k healing in order to balance it. But above all else, i feel like a great habit every mercy should have is to be as nice and kind as possible to everyone. Remember guys, its just a game. So when a new player comes in or someone is trying a new hero, give them encouraging words or maybe even some tips if you have any instead of flaming them. It's what Angela would want of us.

I have an easy remedy: turn off chat. they can complain if they want, but you get to decide whether you're going to listen to it. if you need to healbot - and there are certainly times when we all have to do that - there are heroes that can provide a lot of burst healing for multiple teammates at once. Mercy isn't the right support pick IF your concern is dishing out a lot of healing. there are heroes whose whole kits are designed to provide high amounts of burst healing.
