my Friends are done with Blizzard and ow they hate this game and the company now so I have no one to play this game with anymore. I love OW and enjoy comp, but I get destroyed by stacks and groups making me feel like this game is impossible to win against. it’s just such a downer to lose and I know if you had a team with communication it would be a fair fight but nope it’s not, a solo queue needs to happen it should have already happened, I am starting to see why my friends gave up this game.

I don’t even want to play against duos because they’re always mercy+dps or mercy+tank duos and they make the game suck for everyone else. Mercy does minimal healing to the rest of her team and the pockets tank never dies and the pocketed dps gets away with really bad positioning and is way too hard to kill.
Or fix mercy perhaps!

The game needs to STOP matching randoms vs pre-made stacks! No matter the mode. The end.

Kill the mercy. Shes the softest target in the game. She has a 1% pick rate in high ranks for a reason. That reason is shes the squishiest of the squishys. Shes only hard to deal with for people with subpar aim or ppl that lack game sense. Or teams that dont communicate. Or jus newer players in general…
Tips to deal with mercy or whomever shes pocketing—
-
Stop shooting the pocketed hero-- shoot the mercy FIRST. Make sure ur in LoS of your own supports, and have faith they will keep u up while complete this process. TARGET PRIORITIES.
-
TAG HER. Better yet— do some damage and TAG HER.
If shes damaged shes gonna move around… and when she does- if u tag her and your dps sees a half life mercy flushed out into the open— then they will finish her off.
TAG. TAG. TAG. -
Position. I cant stress this enough. A pocketed hero will eat you alive is ur standing in open space constantly. Know the map and where your cover is… as well as know where ur supports are. Can they see you? Are u in there LoS or AOE???
LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION.
If you really cant get to the mercy you still have options. They are…
-
You could switch comps to better get to her. Hitscan heroes or heroes that can close distance gaps quickly.
-
KILL THE OTHER SUPPORT.
This will force the mercy to make a choice.
She will ither have to stay in the pocket, leaving the rest the team with no support so you can freely attack them.
OR she will leave the pocket so you can kill that hero and also gets her moving out of cover so you can more easily attack her as well. Ither way- they go down. -
Work on aim. VAXTA. VAXTA. VAXTA.
GL and happy hunting.

I think what they are refering to is Quickplay, not competitive play. But both modes need it.
The buddy system has been a very disruptive problem in the game since day 1. Even with the brackets removed in Overwatch “2”, players can still quickly figure out whom is in a group and who is not. So it always becomes an objective of duos, trios and 4-stacks to find the players that are solo-q and single them out from the crowd and then bully them into quitting.
I remember with brackets around the portraits, this was always a thing and people then laughing in chat about bullying the person into leaving.
Then they QQ in chat that the match closes down and come here to the forums demanding Leaver penalties and account bans in Unranked modes and that people should be forced to put up with their behavior.
The community is shattered the way it is. So Making Solo Q only would be wise.

She has the 2nd highest support pick-rate at pretty much every rank including masters and GM. She is only behind Ana who is highest by far at all ranks.
So I don’t get your point? You seem to be trying to say she has a low pick-rate for a reason when really she is the 2nd most picked hero at high ranks FOR A REASON. She is not easy to kill. She can pocket from behind cover. Her healing and DB can’t miss (this is key). It can stay attached even as you try to kill her (this is key), and so on.
Your attempt to try to make her sound weak at high ranks is not borne out by the stats.

They could do that but they are probably afraid of how that would add to the queue times.
Gotta make Ow2 look like it has a healthy and huge playerbase otherwise people wont spend money at the cash shop.

Exactly! That hero is ZERO threatening to me as someone who plays dps and supp. When I see a Mercy on the other team I know it’s an easy “weakest link” thing.
Then after she’s dead, it’s mop-up time. Good Mercys cannot carry a bad team. I’ll take that COD Anna or Lucio with DPS ability any day on my team over a Mercy.
There are lots of good Mercy players, but that hero isn’t OP this season.
No. You will be stomped and you will like it.
lol sure that is healthy to a games player base right you will do this and like it
I would love a solo que. People have been asking since the dawn of civilization but our cries & tears have gone to deaf ears.
hello gm1 support main here 
mercy is currently the 3rd lowest picked above lifeweaver and moira.
Where are those stats from? Just curious.
Get skill = make friends = no need in soloQ. Personal issue.
you play mercy talking about get skill

Imagine being punished for not having a pocket up your butt
top 500 leaderboard all season long which includes early leaderboard when you hit masters +. She def is one of the highest picks in lower rank but once you move up her pick rate lowers significantly.
This is the most important thing the company needs to address, and so far they are going kicking and screaming. They would rather shove awful matches down our throat and punish us for leaving them then actually give us a solo queue that makes us wait for an extra minute.
