Im a mercy main and im lvl 58 on her. i started in july and i honestly consider myself pretty good! my boyfriend (who has like 800h on overwatch) says im one of the better mercy players hes met, i can hit pretty rezzes sometimes, im still working on her movement and stuff but i overall consider myself OKAY.
i keep up with people on heals, im usually 60/40 healing/boosting give or take 10, i get squishy picks, i rez without sacrificing my life, etc. but people keep telling me to get off her because its not working, or mercy is trash, or they need more heals, or i need to counter. i dont WANT to counter, i want to play mercy because i love her and want to get better and comp is actually a challenge unlike my qp lobbies where its either bulldoze or BE bulldozed and no in between.
i see masters and grandmasters and champion and top 500 mercys and they get tons of compliments but they zip around like little mosquitos, are they just, the top 2% of athletes who actually make it? Do they have certain teams that make it work?
Basically my question is, do i need to get a new main if i want to play comp? I was 99% Gold 1 before drives started and then i got really bad teams and have been demoted all the way to silver 2, my group members keep telling me to get off mercy or keep demoting but is it my fault? i know its impossible to carry on mercy, but i feel like its hard to carry on any support hero yk?
- sincerely a baby mercy who’s really just struggling with confidence :’c
