Oh, you thought I was going to be toxic? Think again!
As Mercy I thank those of you who…
- Rush to the edge to save me ftom a slow gliding death.
- Tell me when you plan to ult so I can time my positioning so we can get the best value.
- Protects me when I’m rezzing in dangerous spots.
- Runs back to pick me up so I won’t have to do the slow walk of shame back after respawn.
As Ana appreciate those of you…
- Who clinically and methodically kills my slept targets.
- Realizes it’s not always easy to hit every shot and tries to accommodate me.
- Takes my damage boost and wrecks the enemy team.
- Get that damn Scientist or Doomfist away from me.
In general I really like those of you who…
- Play the objective.
- Plays with the team when it’s important you’re there.
- Switches when it’s needed to counter comps with specific vulnerabilities.
- Shows appreciation for a good save, just like I will appreciate you for all the above.
Don’t worry tanks, I love those of you who do these things too, but I thought the dps could use some extra attention today.

Sometimes I see an ana who just can’t hit a shot so I’ll stand still and just get assassinated across the map for it

When I played Ana, I ESPECIALLY liked people who knew where my sight lines were, and didn’t just yolo out of them, and then get salty because I couldn’t heal them without moving into a very bad position.

Well, If I play genji and do most of those things…
Except switching to counter - I MAY LOSE SR, BUT I WILL NEVER LOSE MY PRIDE!
Do I get a thank you?
It depends, if you keep getting massacred because the enemy is running Moira/Monkey/Brig/ I might get a bit salty. 
Other than that, keep up the good work! I love boosting Dragonblade with both Mercy and Ana. 
Aw, that’s not what we want either - rather stay safe then! I meant more finding good places behind cover still in our LoS rather than running far away behind walls.
Mostly I just poke for blade, pull it out, then our Ana nanos our Orisa or Mercy is just sitting on the roof of Hanamura assisting the smurfing/carrying widow.
Accidents happen with the Nano (damn frogs!) but as long as you tell me in advance I will gladly fly with you as Mercy! Issue is sometimes the Genji dash away out of my range, always feels bad.

Whenever I do this, the mercy tends to favor me. It’s like, “thanks and because of that, i’m going to pay more attention to you.” Honestly, I love a good mercy player on my team.

But do you appreciate filthy DPS that only care about medals?
Hmmm if they are effective and good at it and secures vital kills. Yeah I guess. Otherwise I might not be as happy.
I was rolling a game once and had around 40 kills duoing with my ana main friend, and these mfs solo grav me, slept me, hooked me and then pinned me. Genji main life is nothing but pain
The former is my team when we are winning, the latter is my team when we are losing. Lul.
I have a vid of basically that which my team did to the enemy Genji.
Actually felt bad for the poor sod!
Gonna tell you a secret… despite what the support code says, I don’t dislike Genji or his mains… only those who behave like donkeys, but that’s true for all mains. I even like Genji as a character and playing with a good one is great fun! Against is pure terror though…

Isn’t this the truth for everyone? I got messaged about not healing when I had 40% dmg taken. 
If you know you did your best and tried to work with the team then you’re good.

Thanks for having faith in me hitting a non moving target instead of trying to kill it yourself and waste your awesome sleep shot. 
Thats your credit, for telling me.
Its easier to kill stuff when you heal my team so they can distract them away from me.
Well… I do need healing.
Thanks for the post.
I Highly appreciate your efforts
Edit:
Its better to tell your fellow ow players what they do great
As they can do it more.
Only saying what they do bad won’t improve them.
Just tells them that you saw them fail.
Telling them the good juce, shows that you saw them doing it right. So they do it more often.

In what elo are you playing…nvm
This and this to 100%. It is such a nice change to have your sleep targets actually killed instead of them tickled to wake up by the Hammond/Dva/Moira or another target with low burst dmg.
Kind of this, but I came to the conclusion that if I assume my dps can hit the enemies while they try to dodge my dps can well assume I hit my shots while they are doing their thing (if in LOS ofc). Just trying to get better at aiming 
A team with dps (and tanks!) doing the general things you listed is just so invaluable, it is crazy. So thank you to everyone who plays this game with these things in mind.
