Man Mercy is so chill to play

Mercy is only character, where you either get chased by stupid enemies believing themselves to do smart thing(and losing), or ignored by stupid enemies not trying to be smart(and winning).

Often you don’t have to, as enemies doing “stupid” thing and ignoring you completely are actually being smart - 60 hps isn’t obstacle to stop their killing rampage.

You are very mobile, you can be hard to catch…but your ability to throw a wrench into the plans of enemy team is second to none.

Same.

However…

This depends entirely on the team I’m playing with. A good (or at least average) team? Yeah, pretty chill. A bad team? Frick that. All five people need healing while simultaneously being nowhere in my LoS and oh my god, how did our Soldier even die over there…

And that’s why Mercy is so strong, when people ignore her and just try to shoot whoever she is healing they often can’t kill through her beam because it’s so strong unless they quickly burst down the enemy, making them waste time and usually die.

God, I love playing Mercy.

Never saw people having trouble killing anyone being healed by 60 hps. Extra 2 s of life, at best. Coalescence, however, can be a nuisance, if used to heal teammates, and sudden Nanoboost on tank also isn’t something you can easily cut through.

In all honesty, Valkyrie is one of the strongest ults in the game, not just support ults

It is arguably also THE very most versatile ult in the game as well

Personally, I never see a team killed more easily than when their support player fails to even try to support them

You really can stop pretending, like I am not healing anyone. I do, and they still die. Same if enemy team has Mercy - they still drop dead, often without ults being spent.

All 5 teammates getting constant 60 HPS through shields and lose LoS restrictions without any reloading for 15 seconds does NOT only save people for “2 extra seconds at best! uwu”

Like, over-exaggerating does not help your agenda. Use facts, use logic, don’t use hyperboles.

Not a hyperbole, cold fact. They die.

Maybe you’re just bad at using her ult? They dont die when I use it :smiley:

Or you just playing on console. Focus fire easily overwhelms 60 hps.

I play on PC actually :slight_smile: 800 hours on PC Mercy. I know how and when to use Valk, and so they are almost always super valuable and sucessful ults! :slight_smile:

No, it really doesn’t, only burst damage really shreds through valk heals. A winston and solider and Lucio etc holding m1 on people isn’t gonna do anything through your ult. And since your team has a 60 HPS buffer, they should have no problem going and killing the enemy who is at a sever disadvatange for 15 seconds sustain wise. Also, because Valk keeps Mercy alive for 15 seconds, the enemy has no chance of taking out the team’s primary healing source. It’s great :smiley:

If a player states they solely pocket a single selected teammate at all times, and refuse to use all of Mercys kit, and reserves Valkyrie solely for their own escape from the teamfight lost primarily due to lack of full support…i am unsure what other conclusion might be drawn

Not very severe, they got healer with more hps, so they can be more aggressive, and shrug off hits my team can’t ignore.

Either team is successful already, and Valkyrie just makes them get there faster, or it’s lost fight already, and Valkyrie just delays inevitable.

HPS isn’t what makes a healer good. Or else Moira wouldn’t be the worst support in GM and OWL. Utility, sustain, survivability, and potential impact are what’s important.

Mercy has great utility (Rez, damage boost), crazy self sustain (20 HPS regen), crazy sustain for her team (Endless 50 HPS stream that goes through shields, no reload, and becomes 5 60 HPS beams during her ult), amazing survivability with GA, and good potential impact if you use her kit to it’s fullest potential.

She’s great :smiley:

Don’t really care about GM or OWL, as my teammates aren’t from either. And my ult won’t turn them into GM players, unfortunately.

I have seen others refer to statements like this as “console shaming” as if console players are somehow lesser beings or the console game is a different game

Players are players

Overwatch is Overwatch

Exactly! If you are in a lower rank, as you say, then Mercy should be even better! Enemies lack aim and coordination so they can’t just “Focus fire through Valk in 2 seconds” like you claim, they also lack the ability to punish you for bad rezzes, and you should have no problem staying alive all game!

I have a smurf account in diamond and played on one in silver, Mercy is soooo good down in those ranks! I stay alive with zero pressure, keep my whole team alive and get Valk every 20 seconds because the tanks soak up so much trash damage. You can also rez for free down there, it’s awesome.

Nothing is for free. I stay alive, but my team isn’t so lucky. And enemies, no matter how bad they are, still capable of hitting nearly immobile Mercy.

So nothing awesome or exciting.

No attempts to rez equates to no value gained, so it is understanable that rez doesnt help such a team
