I don't care that Brig isn't good pocket target. It's just so fun playing backline assasin Poket Brig. It works surprisingly well, cause enemies cannot kill Brig because of Inspire+Shield+Mercy heals and Mercy because of Inspire+Mobility+Repair packs (on my skill level). Also damage boosted Brig's combo (Bash, Primary, Whipshot) can delete 200hp hero if they don't get healing

A tips with sym : you can combo tp rez. Your sym just need to put the tp in the 5m rez range (the shortest distance tp can be from each other) on the soul and you can rez and tp with mercy without canceling the rez. I do it with my mate and it work incredibly well for risky rez. We did it in front of a sigma who tried to rock him while he was rezing but since he used tp the rock don't touched him and the rez worked.

I'm also playing in GM and don't really think playing Mercy and lucio is really bad as long as the lucio isn't throwing lol.

As a sombra main, the only time you should pocket a sombra is if she's making things happen, and she's playing with the team, If she's flanking don't bother pocketing her you'll get her killed and yourself. Sombra can escape any time she wants, you can't. It is easy to feel a sombra out, if she's hitting her shots, you'll know it when you heal/damage boost her, if she's clearly struggling to hit shots, or is just ineffective in general you should not be pocketing her at all.

I have a question about Cassidy though. Is it really worth body blocking his ult because as of OW2 he gets 40% damage reduction when using high noon and he has more hp than mercy too so surely it's safer to heal him through it if he starts to take damage right? Some things I didn't see mentioned that I'd like to add: Damage boosting Sojourn increases the charge she earns for her secondary fire as well as damage dealt Damage boosting Sigma during his ult makes it so the lift+2 orbs is a kill combo on a squishy If it looks like brig can kill a squishy diving her boosting her makes the bash+swing+whipshot a kill combo

You're really right about dedicated Lucio players. There can be zero reason for them to stay on Lucio and they'll still be on Lucio. Bad map? Bad comp? Nobody on the enemy team they can target? Does not matter, they will not swap. I'll be honest though, and this might just be me, but as a old-timer with the ability to play any support (not to equal levels obviously) and zero effs left for the opinions of my tanks and DPS, I'll support whatever the other player wants to do as long as they're enjoying doing it and not making my life hard in the process. I'm here to support my fellow supports is what I'm saying, and everyone else only as a byproduct lmao

Dmg boost during combat and then healing during downtime when possible means double ult charge, which can make a huge difference in getting your ult on time. Also, on the Ana thing, had a match with a Hog who would not let his own health get low enough that he couldn't self heal to max, and the guy knew every healthpack on the map. This meant I was sharing dps with the Ana, which I was not used to so I ended up having to damage boost the Ana just to get her ult up to make up for stealing most of the healing on the dps.
@sethescope Жыл бұрын
re: Sombra, please heal your Sombra even when they are invis. yes, they COULD go get a health kit, but that is time spent outside of the fight. if they are clearly on the flank, sure, don't randomly GA to them and heal them, but if its in the middle of the fight, just heal them. sometimes they stay invisible just for the mobility and not necessarily because they're trying to be invisible. I've watched so many vods of sombras and they just don't get healed for AGES and its heartbreaking. dont abandon them and assume they should take care of themselves. they're still on your team so it's still your job to help them. ignore them if they flame you for it because you should always be ignoring flamers in the first place.

@kattastrophe7240 Жыл бұрын
THIS. Say it louder for the people in the back. I wish I could like your comment more than once. I don’t even consider myself a Mercy main, but I have the most time on her at this point. (Because of the pre-role lock says in OW1 and I thought she was the easiest support to pick up. But then I found Niandra’s channel and realized there’s way more to her.) Mercy gets written off as “no skill” because she doesn’t have to aim to heal (or db), and people queueing for the extra battle pass xp for playing support pick her for that reason. They fail to realize there’s a lot of thinking, rapid decision making, judgment calls, ult tracking, etc that goes into playing her. Mercy is a lot of mental game & using your brain. You get focused down because of your utility- especially rez. Sure, her utility is simple at face value, but its value varies based on the player’s quick decision making ability. If the player is rezzing out in the open and getting shutdown via boop/death, then the value isn’t there and is crippling the team. If they’re pocketing a Rein who only knows how to walk around with a shield up instead of pocketing the Sojourn or Pharah laying waste to the enemy team, there’s no value & minimal contribution. Sure, Mercy is “easy” at face value but that kind of playing isn’t doing much overall in terms of contributing. But non-Mercy players aren’t gonna understand because they don’t care to. (They’re also likely the same bunch saying to rework Mercy, get rid of her db and/or rez, etc.) Mercy is easy to pick up but there is so much more that goes into her than you realize at first.
