I think your analysis is very well thought out :D You definitely have something there. Would love to see more videos like this

I love the skins they both look amazing aswell as the sprays. Which skin do you prefer: the pink mercy or the rose gold mercy? I love both but i like the a bit more powerful color of the rose gold one

She’s the toxic one, you are doing what everyone should be doing! So definitely not toxic!

The issue is the PTSD of Mercy being really strong. When Mercy could actually get away with rez... people were rightfully annoyed. Her numbers cannot be too high as constant uptime beams make the devs wanna limit her output. While she does require skill, her kit gives her so much baseline value. She just needs to exist. A competent enough Mercy can get so much value (when she is strong). I agree Mercy needs buffs and hopefully they make her playeable without pissing people off.

Do you play with viewers? :) 😊

They were not helping you. What is the ball doing? 😂

I buy many skins and I am an OG player. It’s not just new players 😂😂😂 F2P didn’t ruin the game, it was Blizzard removing content, locking heroes to BP and cancelling PvE. F2P actually saved us tbh. If we stayed in OW1 then the game would have died and been unable to recover. I’m not going to condone the devs for lying about PvE tho, because it’s unacceptable 😡

I wish we could get a season for the girlies … like of course we gotta have power ranger battle pass 😅

Hanzo is pretty much in the same shape at Masters+. We can aim, but even with that, he gets way less value for much more effort than any DPS that isnt Sym, Reaper, or Junk. No real reason to play him...

Congrats on Silver 1! Be careful about the words you say because sometimes we can be pessimistic and that gets to our head and makes us derank. Remember it’s not about the rank you are, it’s about the person you become to make it to that rank.

I like your video screen thing

That kill was huge besides mercy being rezzing. You guys have no tank I notice. That sucks. I would probably try Brigitte in that scenario and try to give shield to my teammates and bust out

Awesome rank! I am excited to play overwatch again and see if I’m good enough to be in gold or silver

I don’t know how Mmr works in overwatch 2 If you lost 30 games in a row I would recommend just praying that you’ll win and not getting too down because bad energy always makes me lose more

Good idea muting. Especially after being called bitch. I think everyone should know at least 2 supports, mercy is SO popular that one tricking mercy is unrealistic nowadays I prefer Ana, kiriko, Brigitte is super fun and Life Weaver is great as a mercy alternative.

6v6 was better.

That zarya has never bubbled his teammates for even once, this is definitely someone who belongs to the avoid list. I mainly play hog, but also decent amount of kiriko to earn BP exp. It just feels terrible that you help your tank with abilities like suzui, but they choose to play selfishly; this can apply to any tank, but absolutely the worst when it's zarya.

I just played some ranked aswell first game i had 20k healing and i was still blamed lol. And i didnt have a rank at that point but i was in a match with gold and plat while my estimated rank after was bronze 1. So the ranked system is really broken. Sadly it has been like that for so long im not hopefull that they will fix it anytime soon

UR almost to GOOLD YESSSIRR :D

Loved the Video once again. Funny thing is whenever i was fighting the machines i was always trying to do some funky stuff not directly, kinda regret it because it made things a lot harder... but honestly im not sure if it was wort it because i died a lot

ur getting really good at fighting those machines :D

Love the video. I see you did some things off camera. Is everything okay with the audio or was it muted on accident? hope nothings broken...

Sorry im late to it but happy birthday 🎉

Happy Birthday and good luck in your future games! 🎂

Were you the terrible doomfist I had on route 66?

Happy birthday, dawg

Happy birthday :D

Happy birthday Elysium🎉. The audio sounded good i could hear nicely. Hope you can get out of silver soon.

Happy birthday, may all your hopes and dreams come true 🎈

You play mercy so well have you got any advice on how to play her consistently well? Like how did you get so good at playing her because I love to play her but I'm not always great. But anyway you are soooo good at playing her ❤

Would love to help but i dont know anything about that sort of stuff. But i can feel the struggle of the height difference from laptop to seat and all that. Hope you can figure out a easy solution to make it easier for you. Keep it up :).

Did your headset break? If so hope its something fixable... im on my second one because my dog destroyed my last one.

Im a Doomfist and Wrecking Ball main and for me what i disliked about kiri is her small hitbox,, and the fact that she has 2 abilities that basically get her out of trouble. She is overkitted is what i would say. And before her damage output was nerfed her damange was dumb with the double tap specifically. I think she is in a much better place now but its still annoying to fight her, cause she can either cleanse or tp away or both and its hard to keep track of cooldowns. But also all immortality abilities are kinda stupid except mei's i find that to be somewhat fair but i dont really like mei either as a tank lol. Now Orisa thats a character that is horrible in every way Edit: No one apart from Supports wants supports to be strong. I think they should either be good at defending themselves and their team but not very lethal or be lethal but not very defensive. It is support afterall not healer

instructive criticism: The game audio should be a bit quieter, it was sometimes louder than your voice, makeing it hard to understand what you said. Aside from that, How would you fix other supports?

Kiriko has no problems. People with short temper and failure to take accountability to improve is the problem. The hero doesn't play you. You play the hero.

Appreciated the perspective. In a vacuum, she's absurdly busted - just preposterous. 250 hp with a hitbox the size of baby dva, healing that doesn't require precision, wall climb and 2 magic buttons... completely unacceptable on it's own - if this were a legitimate game. But as you alluded to, game wide there's just so many ridiculous, easy to land abilities, magic buttons, over the top hp pools, etc. that she almost has to be ridiculous to function. I still play and watch content but it's just impossible to take the game seriously with so much overpowered nonsense. I haven't noticed excessive kiriko hate besides washed oafs on KZfaq who make tier lists and cry about 6v6. She's crazy strong but so what - it doesn't even matter now and what about the other supports? Bap has never, EVER been acceptable for 1 second of his entire OW existence. Illari and Moira are far more putrid and insulting than kiri - both those heroes are a slap in the face to the player base. It's like the devs saying "we know how shit you are at this game, try these 2 out". Zen is brainless af, it used to mean something to play Ana.....ah fuck, I'll stop there. Anyway, thanks for the vid.

3:21 what does she say? And which changes did we have in that season?

Recommendation: Listen to the talk, don't focus on the gameplay. Great insights! Thank you for sharing this video!

The statement about hero hatred is 100% correct. I mained Hanzo but he was neutered in S9, losing his one-shot. People still find ways to complain about him even when he has the worst winrate in the DPS role. As a high rank DPS player, I don't really have an issue with Suzu, and I believe if it IS in fact an evil, it is 100% necessary. As far as TP goes, I do understand the complaints, because it's not necessarily the TP they hate, but the fact that there is no use condition other than range (as it goes through walls), making it the most reliable and potent get-out-of-jail-free card with no counterplay. You can totally screw up on positioning, being completely caught out, but still escape. No other escape ability functions this way. In many players' eyes, it "breaks the rules" of fairness. A counter example would be that Moira has Fade. However, there is a condition for the Fade to be effective, this being nearby cover - you still have a chance to kill her after she uses it. Same thing with Wraith, Shadow Step, Blinks, Rewind, and Translocator. If there was any one change I'd say Kiri needs, it's only on TP, and that is to add the condition of LoS of the TP target being needed. If Suzu even needs any changes, the intangibility is the only thing that should get changed. However, I don't like the idea of it being useless against Doom's multi-hit with Punch...

Yay a new creator.

The issue with the suzu is that it's easy to DENY abilities and it's not hard to hit. Learning to throw your e after an ult to stop it is easy. Almost every other ability needs to be timed correctly or has to be used before it happens, not lamp or suzu they can just be used after or before depending on which. it doesn't matter no real timing required unless your very slow or just new to kiri. Saying deflect can block ults is factually true but cannot compare to suzu in any way shape or form. TP is a get out of jail free once again it is easy to use and takes no skill to do so, almost EVERY other get out of jail free ability has glitches too an extent that is not a Kiri issue and eventually will get you killed due to misuse. She is an anti fun hero at the end of the day. Outside of her ult and healing she can randomly kill you from across the map thanks to no falloff which is not fun. Her TP is the easiest get out of jail free ability (maybe second to Moira) which is also not fun for other players and her suzu denies whatever u want it to which is also not fun. Any character that is built around denying ability is bad for the game Kiri bap weaver horse are just some examples. Kiri is my second most played character and the main support I use but I can still realize she is basically toxic for the game. Thinking she needs no changes is wild, support is the most chill roll in the game. Saying other supports cannot keep up?? Zen can be oppressive and bap has the ability to take over lobbies.

A single support with an overloaded kit is the reason why Kiri is too strong. Suzu's intangibility is a very strong ability and the fact that tp makes her much harder to punish causes much frustration in the community.

just some friendly formatting advice, lower the game volume and maybe add some quiet music so the background audio isn’t obstructive to your speaking :)

I think the whole hp increase and dps passive make most supports from "can both dmg and heal" to "cant damage nor heal". HP increase hurts support's damage break point more than other two roles (tank also get hit hard by this, but this is another topic). Kiriko used to two tap, but now she can only three tap. And if the target is getting healing, those three kunai have to be all headshots. But you also have to spend more time healing because hp is higher and dps passive reduce healing. Similar things can be said mercy, it's not because blue beam is useless in s9 and s10, it's because she needs to spend so much time healing to barely keep her team alive. The game was never designed around healing reduction in mind, and implementation is very problematic, there needs to be some dmg threshold to activate it instead of "a single bullet reduce healing for 2 sec". If the healing was too high, reduce healing for some supports (remember s6 illari? 120 healing per sec on beam). If the burst damage was the problem, make them less forgiving/longer cd, don't increase hp globally. All patches since s9 are just all bandaid, sure they address some problems, but also create a lot of new ones.

Love the Video and do you have a cat? and did i hear it right that his name is Jack if so that awesome. Honestly you deserve more fame your videos are amazing and entertaining.

1) People hate immortality abilities. They don't really have a place in a game like OW; hence why Bap has been considered problematic in the past, even with his lamp being nerfed again and again and again. Kiri is the same, and I'm a little confused when you said she was liked at first. The Suzu problem has basically existed since OW2's release, though it probably didn't become apparent for a month or two of grace period due to the game being too new. This is the actual "problem" so to speak, but it's also worth mentioning: 2) Kiri's ult has basically always been the best ult in the entire game from the time of her release. Between that and suzu, she's basically been the best support in the game since OW2 launch. Occasionally Lucio is up there in certain metas, but there hasn't been a patch since OW2 launch where Kiriko isn't at the "S" rank of pretty much every content creator who makes tier lists regularly (if you care about that sort of thing). I don't think i've ever heard anyone call her a no-skill hero; her main fire is one of if not the hardest to hit consistently with. I've DEFINITELY never seen anyone call her well-designed, quite the opposite really. It's all basically suzu hate. What they should do is lower the CD for Suzu but just have it heal and cleanse, with no phase out.
