Climbing To Grandmaster With Mercy In Overwatch 2 And What I Learned

The 2K dmg boost/10 min target in low elo is sooo hard. I try to hold myself to it, but sometimes my dps don’t even do 2000 dmg/10 min

honestly hearing about you getting into a bad mental is really comforting, in a way, it's nice to know that even the best of players have it happen, thank you for the video ^^ ♥

Thanks for the resurrect tip. I play a lot of competitive with my friends and one of them is playing 90% of the time as Genji. Every single time when he dies he yells "Res! Res! Res!" in the Discord call and he's so annoying lol. (We're all in approximately Gold)

I’m hard stuck plat and I play mercy sm and omg I’m so bad I guess..LIKE I CANT I’ll fuckin play Moira or sum

I'm so confused. I usually dont die the whole game in silver and gold but cant get more than 1000 dmg amplified because usually my dps cant consistently hit. I also cant climb further than gold, even though I maintain 75%+ win rate

These tips have been great. Mercy is my third most played but I tried to stay off her when 5v5 came out.thinking about getting back on.

I feel how you do about rezing

As someone who picked up kiriko, yep you’re so right. Sometimes you get another mercy one trick who just doesn’t know how to play anyone else and it’s painful so I’ll just swap. My kiri winrate is so much better too it’s like 65% 😂

thank you for releasing ur video, i loved it and i relate to it as a support player myself ^_^

Right click valk to rez trough walls

What do you do in situations where your teammates leave?

i still cant carry with mercy she is just not as good as moira and baptiste which could dish out lots of heals and dmg heck i probably could play with zen [ i am bad with zen ] and win more games than with mercy , i ve played mercy for like 24 hours and i played medic in tf2 so i am familiar with mercy but mercy feels like she cant do jack shit in bronze tbh

okay i just need to say that this video is exactly the kind of thing that changed my life with this game. the way you talk about your attitude and approach to the game. that literally has been the single greatest influence on my approach to the game. yeah, all of the technical advice and the minute details have been massive, but i honestly believe the reason i am a better player today is because you have taught me to trust my teammates, you have taught me to ALLOW myself to trust them. you mentioned how you would roll your eyes at a Sigma who was playing less than optimally instead of helping him and that's it!!! i feel so bad for all of the tanks and dps i let down because i was so invested in this idea that i was right and they were wrong so i wasnt going to help them out. obviously i have never touched GM so you know more about the game than i do, but letting myself trust that the dps player and tank player know more about their jobs than i do has let me support them so much more because i don't waste time second guessing them. there are so many moments where i know a risky play would have failed if i hadn't decided to wholeheartedly back my teammates up, and that is the most rewarding thing, knowing that i decided to trust them and my trust is why they succeeded. even smaller things like trusting my other support to know what they need to do instead of just trying to heal everyone myself (and stealing ult charge from them etc).

idk man, your videos have been a part of my overwatch life, your original mercy guide was the first educational mercy content i ever watched and you have given me the ability to feel so much joy about this game because you have modeled the perfect support attitude.

you're just really great and i love that we are both queer, i love that for us

every mercy is boosted

I remember playing a match against you years ago back in Overwatch 1 in GM :) Back then I was at my peak - Comfortable with Ana, Mercy, Moira, Zen, Lucio.. Scrimming for 10 hours a day, haha. It was fun, but I had to tone it down a lot and eventually dropped Overwatch entirely, disbanding my scrim team too after being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, which totally crippled my hands. Been watching some of your videos in the hopes of slowly getting back into it again. :)

I may be down to Diamond, and unable to play aim-based heroes like Ana for more than a couple games at a time, but I'm hoping to get back to my old rank again! Re-learning everything is complicated, and I honestly despise how difficult it is to climb with the new system (I've gone 5-1 in placements multiple times only to remain the same rank, it's frustrating!) but your videos make it easier - Thanks!

WAS THAT A MERCY REV PRACTICE ROOM??? pls i need code please please

I REALLY wanna play comp, but I have some bad anger issues and I feel like comp just fuels it, does anyone have any tips for keeping your anger issues in check?

disgusting excuses for smurfing play on your main like the rest of us lol

Thanks! The for video and I’m using Mercy now😂.

I wish people would remember the whole "content creators are just friggin people" thing.
There's so much worship going on in social media

Your self awareness is very admirable. Some people are so indulged in their emotions and can never step back and notice it.

is mercy worth playing in lower ranks now? i'm a high silver/low gold support but i noticed whenever i play mercy, i always rank down to bronze and i'm not sure why :( i do well and usually get 10k+ healing (i do dmg boost when i can) so i'm really confused. i want to play mercy but i'm not sure if it's possible for me to climb especially when i'm solo queued :,)

I need that mercy parkour map 😮

What is the custom game code at the beginning of your video? I’d love to try it

What I've learned playing Mercy:
If your DPS suck, just play another hero, there's nothing Mercy can do if you Hanzo has 20% accuracy and your Ashe lands one scoped hit every new moon.

I started playing OW2 since like few days ago and I got diamond. Any tips how to aproach the support role in OW as a whole and what to focus on as a new player? And also is diamond good for a first rank?

Interesting take on timing on rezzes, not to rez the tank at the start of a map makes alot of sense. Also, I used to pick mercy cause i felt like you were doing your team a disservice by not having a rez, but came to realise that sometimes the pick potential of a kiriko headshot can outweigh rezzing at times when your team just cant seem to get kills can be much more beneficial. I am still playing in gold ranks though, so i dont know how much of that carries over to higher elo's, hopefully i can find out one day :)

Mercy so impactful, i used to hate playing her bc i tough she lake of versatility, and i found out that i won all my games playing her, cuz i was the diff 💅🏼💅🏼

Your videos help so much. Thank you <3

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who started playing less than perfect when I started losing more :')

in general, is it worth if i use valk when enemy genji goes nano blade? from my experience i feel like i waste my ult cause either i can't keep up with the damage and i'm standing alone in the end or he dashes straight to me and kills me instantly when i just tapped valk

What is that map code at 55 secpnds it looks so helpful

I love this so much, solo q support is very tough sometimes especially since it’s very dependent on how good your Dps/tank are the lose streaks can be very demotivating at times so I’m glad I’m not alone in this thank you for the tips!!!

Niandra show us your matches

I'm new to OW overall. (halfway in kirko pass) and I'm a Mercy main immediately. I love her kit.

Learning when a rez is actually needed vs wasted is hard but I've gotten it down mostly.

My main issue lies in I can play my ass off and have a good win/loss and still barely rise rank or actually drop rank.

I've even gotten myself down to less than 10 deaths a game. Usually less than 5 for the most part. So I'm doing plenty I feel. Boosting when needed. Healing when needed.

Any tips? Or insight about why I can't gain when doing well ?

This whole video is just a cope by a mercy main pretending mercy is just as difficult to climb with as others. Anyone can be a GM mercy main. Stay alive, heal, damage boost. That's it. No mechanics to learn, no aim to practice, no out playing or dueling enemies, just don't die. It's amazing how mercy players try to pretend like they don't play the easiest character in the game.

i feel like i can't have any impact as mercy :( i practice my movement, go for reasonable rezes, and i stay behind cover, and my deaths are not that high. i try to do some damage as well because i heard that that is a big factor in ranking up maybe around 1k damage a match trying to finish people off and kill easy targets like widow, but sometimes my team gets wiped so easily and im left there alone. im silver and my highest rank was probably gold 3. i try my best to have a positive attitude towards my teammates but i can only enable them and if they aren't doing well then i really can't carry them. not to say that im an excellent player, i am not good by any means, and i probably deserve the teammates i get, i just wish it was more consistent. sometimes my team gets destroyed and sometimes i can almost afk and we still win.

Mercy takes no skill not impressive do it with bap or something

can u pls give the rez map code and all the codes plssss :(

Yeah I having trouble climbing from bronze. My mercy is decent and I can focus but matchmaking is so bad it makes me lose all confidence. I go from the a 2 yo 3 win streak then matchmaking just puts me in a shitty ass match where my team dont know shit. Not to mention the constant Rage quitting. I do my best and this shit holds me back the only time I can get silver a couple times and I still pulled in with shitty matchmaking lol

I understand why you feel this way. As someone who makes sure I have a main in all the character types, I main pharah the most, and this is for a good reason a niche character with a high skill floor helps preemptive preparation become extremely difficult when I force someone else out of place for their team.

But when I play support, I main bap since he has all of the basic utilities that can cover all of the abilites that aren't able to be dealt with by any ana support characters AND he gets air mobility. I have yet to find a support who can cover as many things as him, so what he utilizes is overall game skill, which comes with experience. To reiterate, I'm not saying it's wrong to main mercy. I just think that maybe throwing bap into your support lineup wouldn't be a bad idea.

I just recently started playing overwatch (a month ago or something) and i love playing support - finding your channel and these tips with it really helps a lot!! So thanks for your great work <3

as a mercy editor i often go to qp to farm clips and throw the game by that. i hardly ever get clips from comp
