What Kalyx said.
I consider myself a pretty damn good mercy. Most of the time when I solo que, I pick mercy. Mainly because I don't trust randos to heal. She seems like a brain dead character on the surface so a lot of new players pick her, but staying alive against a good team is a very difficult challenge. Every character requires situational awareness, but with Mercy, it needs to be laser focused. You need to be constantly aware of where your teammates are, not only to heal them, but to have an escape route if a flanker gets through. You also need to be able to make split second decisions on whether its worth flying over to help someone, or if it would put you in too much danger. Couple other tips: Don't forget about her damage boost. A lot of players new to mercy, myself included, focus so much on healing that they underutilize this ability. You need to be constantly switching back and forth, buffing damage as much as you possibly can. Use your pistol. Another thing people often forget about. Mercy's pistol actually does a surprising amount of damage. Whenever most Mercy's get cornered, their first instinct is to run away, even though they know they're fucked. Pull out your pistol and give them a fight. You may die, but you'll take some of their health with you, and that can make a difference in a game of inches like this. Hell, if you're good enough and they're bad enough you might even win. I've beaten DPS 1v1 with Mercy before. |

Love the pistol.
No matter what, if your team sits at the choke the entire game instead of pressing in there is nothing you can do. I just sit there and heal with my hot ready to go. |

I went down to mid gold too so that does not help. Going to play Mei to get a better rating and try again.

If your team is shit, save up your ilt for one big multi-revive and it'll help your ranking points at least. It's much easier to rank up as Mercy compared yo other characters.

Some good Doomfist tips
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S2KXgwGW80c Dude is spot on. Played a bit online today, and every doomfist blindly jumped in and quickly died. |

New meta is people picking widow and hanzo, and throwing because they can't be doomfist.

If they could develop an algorithm that can detect an obvious lack of effort that would shut that down.
But for now, team queue up if you can. Randoms can't be trusted. |

Funny thing Kalyx....when Doomfist dropped, I felt like he was basically a fighting game character in an FPS, and immediately thought you'd take to 'em.

I wasn't even that hyped on the lead up and then I actually played him.
He might outpace Zarya as my most consistently deadly character. |

Jumped up 500 points tonight. Going to try and get my SR up the next few days, so the drop off isn't so bad next season. Don't want to get stuck playing against silvers again.
Going full time heals next season, as my Mercy is on fucking point now. Was always good but now I'm carrying mediocre teams, and keeping them alive. I'm god damn everywhere. I'm mother fucking Varys up in this shit. |

I dropped like 200 points. Was my worse day in forever. Granted I rarely play now a days. I still fuck everyone in the world up as Mei. Certain maps I play the turret guy too. Have like a 70% win ratio with him currently.

Mercy and D.Va changes incoming and live on PTR right now. Honestly like most of them, Mercy will have a totally new playstyle going forward.

Of all characters, Mercy will become an instant hard counter to Pharah when she goes flying. You will not be able to hit her with those rockets.

Deathmatch is live on Overwatch for consoles.
TDM is fun...lots of intense matches FFA sucks a fat one...just a bunch of "kills" that dont count because someone else got the last hit in. No joke, I would do like 80 damage with Mei just for some Genji asshole to blade dash and get credit for the kill. |

Went into low platinum again. One game I had 5 other people that would not pick a tank or healer so fuck them. Went 7 and 3 though.
Thinking of grinding to diamond or whatever is above platinum this season. |

I can stomach TDM, though I'm shocked at how unimportant people seem to think healers are in a mode like this.

Took me forever to get out of gold. Literally just picked Mid for like 30 hours of gameplay straight. Just ended up wrecking everyone with my long range ice gun.
Feel like platinum will be a little bit easier since people tend to work together. |

From what I've heard, there is very little skill difference between high gold and mid diamond.

Ya that is true for the most part. A lot of time in mid to high gold you will run into 1 or 2 people that just go off and do their own thing. That still happens but not as often.
The only true difference skill wise I see is Widow and Hanzo people seem to be a lot better now. |
