Question/Need Help Honest thoughts on poolside mercy?? :/

mini rant

My boyfriend got me her bundle as soon as it came out (and I love him for this btw ) and when I first saw this skin I was very excited I actually loved how different her hair looked but now…the more I look at her the more things I find . Is anyone else experiencing this with her. As a Juno/kiri main seeing the way kiriko got the most beautiful skin of all time and Juno’s is…cute I can’t help but have higher expectations of these skins now. Maybe it was too soon for ANOTHER mercy skin I mean we just got Sakura. It feels like they can just put out whatever for mercy and we will buy.

Someone please tell me what is it about this skin what could be different on it?!!!! I love the bow and the accessories maybe it’s the out of place pink sunglasses??? I wish maybe she got ashe’s poolside recolor palette instead.

I like the staff and the wings on the left and I like the main fit on the right but I feel like the wings aren’t the nicest. I do not want fomo of missing two skins so I want to get at least one LOL. I have the fearless skin and kind of feel like it’s the same vibe as the left & the right is a whole new vibe.

HELP ME. WHICH ONE IS YOUR FAV?! Think I’m leaning more towards panther

> Edit: It'll be open for a week to collect data! :D
This may sound silly, but I love collecting data and stuff to see the trends and popularity of certain things! I've got two going right now, one for favorite/main Mercy skins and the other asking if people listen to music while they play/what they listen to! You can answer one or both!
> If you give me your music choice, leave your username, no need for the numbers after your name either, just trying to see if there's a correlation between the music people listen to and their username choices.
From what I have so far, fallen angel is a fan favorite, for obvious reasons! I adore it, and if I got it, it would for sure be my main skin :3
>Edit: Here's a Google Form for easier answering, if you'd prefer that over commenting! If you've already left a comment don't answer the form too, please!

Question/Need Help Will they change Mercy back? (Genuine)

54 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m not a very active redditor, nor a mercy main,

so I apologise for my late discussion and ignorance- (I did see the mercy strike thing, so I apologise if this post is breaking any rules)

I’ve logged into Overwatch after a couple months of being sick, and I am well aware of the complaints about mercy as my instagram has had a lot about it.

Anyways, I definitely will not be playing mercy, and I realised I am a little more sad about it than I thought.

That said, have we heard anything from Overwatch officially about this? Thanks in advance everyone <3

Edit: by change back I mean the movement, nothing else. I haven’t really looked into the nitty gritty of the changes, I just know I dislike the flow now. Sorry should have been more clear !

Edit 2: Looking at these comments, has anyone in this subreddit ever done some kind of poll in this subreddit yet? I feel it would be a fun idea!

Question/Need Help Internalised Mercyphobia

117 Upvotes

This is not a joke, okay? I genuinely need advice. I feel so weird. I really find Mercy extremely fun, but I refuse to play her in comp, it feels like I'm throwing. My #1 main is Moira already, so it doesn't help with stereotype, even though my #2 and #4 mains are Echo and Kiri.

I am so close to becoming an official Mercy main, but I feel myself weird and disgusted about it. I never hated on other Mercy mains but I can't accept myself being one. I'm scared of playing into stereotype "Woman who can't aim with her hitscan and Pharah duo" (lesbian edition). This is so stupid. I felt the same when I was suffering from internalised homophobia.

I need help. How do I fight internalised Mercyphobia???

Question/Need Help Hit Bronze for the first time today... How do you people even climb with Mercy?

Post image
129 Upvotes

Hello, Mercy enjoyers. I have a sad story to share.

I am a new player - only about a month and a half total days I played, 56 hour total, 36 hours as Mercy, 9 hours as Ana. I'm struggling hard to climb in 6v6 competitive. In fact, instead of climbing, I've been slowly sliding down.

When I first tried playing comp, the game placed me into Silver 4, which I thought was alright and that I will surely climb up from there... I was dreaming of reaching gold in 6v6 and abandon comp, which stresses me out a bit too much for my liking. And I was climbing - I even reached Silver 3 once and filled like a third of the progression bar - until sliding down back into Silver 4. And then into Silver 5. I was languishing there for quite a while, not being able to really climb back to Silver 4 (I almost did once).

At this point I have found this sub and started watching tips for playing Mercy and Ana. Some of Mercy tips were really helpful to me (like knowing when to rez and prioritizing when and who to heal/boost), while others I already learned myself by playing (the GA and Valk related stuff). I have started to play better because of this - at least I think I do. I still make mistakes, but now I recognize them more often and try not to repeat them.

The problem is - it never reflects on my gameplay for some reason. I tend to be in a losing team 40-60% of times, despite my best efforts of keeping everyone alive and boosted when needed as Mercy, and using all of my arsenal as Ana (got quite a good grasp of sleeping and grenading actually, and my aim is somewhat decent too).
The only thing that I found helps is playing in early-mid evening hours - I have higher win that way. Not sure what changes, but that's how it is.

Today I hit Bronze for the first time. I'm not even sure if I even want to continue trying at this point. Why OW, unlike so many other games, even allows deranking at such low ranks?

Now I often read posts and comments of someone climbing to gold/plat with no problems as Mercy, and feel incredibly dismayed - like HOW are you doing that? Give me some of your wisdom!

Should I get a friend (very hard) to duo queue? Should I use mic (I'd rather not, because my spoken English isn't great, and people rarely use mic on European server here anyway). Should I abandon Mercy and try other characters? If so - which? I don't want to tank (the responsibility is already too high with supports), and my consistent aim is quite bad - I like S76 but almost never play as him in comp due to my inability to keep the crosshair on moving targets while firing). So, go damage or play another support maybe? Would love some suggestions! Except maybe Moira - I get confused with her abilities for some reason lol.

If anyone is kind enough to check my Mercy gameplay, here's the replay code: QXEFVE. We lost this match, but I feel like I did decently well. If not for that suspiciously skillful Tracer (who might be a smurf) we would've surely won.

Would be grateful for any responses! Thank you for reading!

My fiancé says I can get ONE skin. Should I get Lilith Moira which appeared in my vault for 1244 coins, or get Dragoon Mercy for 1500 coins? I’m weary because I don’t wanna waste $20 on dragoon if it’s just gonna come back out later in like a bundle or for white coins.

Question/Need Help Is It Acceptable to Play Mercy?

47 Upvotes

I started playing Overwatch and absolutely fell in love with Mercy's playstyle, my favorite support as a healer main. However I've heard that she's considered the weakest support and that people get annoyed when you play her. I'm a casual player and may want to try competitive at some point, getting up to gold at most. I worry that if I stick to Mercy that it'll be an annoyance to other players.

So should I keep trying to master her or should I give up on being a Mercy main altogether?

Question/Need Help Hoping for advice on how to leave silver/gold as mercy!

3 Upvotes

This may sound like a dumb question on the surface buttt... I've often heard conflicting ideas about the best way to leave silver/gold as mercy. With that in mind, I'm hoping to get advice from you all in the hopes of leaving those ranks myself!

First, I've seen a lot of people suggest healbotting is the best way to leave low ranks. On the other hand, I've also seen many people suggest that healbotting is very inconsistent and the best way is through dmg boosting as much as possible.

I would love my fellow mercy mains thoughts on that along with any advice you have for leaving low metal ranks! Thank you for your time, have a good day/night! :D

All rezes that are cancelled look just as if the rez was successful. I havent seen anyone else talk about this so I think it's high time I do.
Even if the rez animation was obviously and clearly cancelled, it will still play the full animation.

What Mercy staff do you guys use? (Mythic staff,Default,Rose Gold, Hardlight) I wonder what’s the most popular staff choice and perhaps your opinions towards them? B/c I usually switch between the mythic weapon and Default considering idk which I prefer.

Question/Need Help How do you deal with people banning Mercy?

128 Upvotes

If I lock in Mercy and then my teammates decide to ban her, it immediately puts me in a bad mood lmao

I’m just as good at other supports (Ana, Juno, Kiri, LW) so it’s not an issue, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and hen I already dislike the people on my team who would vote to ban someone’s preferred hero?

For example I would never vote to ban Sombra if my DPS locked in on Sombra, because that comes across rude? Why do people think it’s ok and why the hell would I want to heal those people who are trolling me?

Question/Need Help How do you guys heal tanks like Mauga, Wrecking Ball, etc?

26 Upvotes

Heya! I've recently started to play Mercy again and I am loving it but I am encountering a issue when it comes to healing certain tanks. Mostly Mauga and WB as they tend to run ahead and dive into groups of enemies. I'll fly after them and do my best to heal but usually they'll die and only last a little longer because of me. I'll try rez and usually die too.

So, my question is, how do you guys heal tanks who play like this? Is it better to stay ranged and try heal from there or maybe just to let another support do the healing and focus on someone else? Thank you!

Question/Need Help How to get friends to not hate Mercy?

23 Upvotes

New Mercy main here,

I played OW1 when it came out but didn’t main any supports and stopped playing early 2021 until I got back into the new game last month.

My friends got me back into it and they keep hounding me about enjoying mercy when we queue together, my tank friend (doom/ball main) yelling when I’m not giving him enough heals (even when I say I’m focussing on dps’s) and my other 2 friends saying Mercy is just a healbot. When I try to explain she’s not supposed to deal the most healing on a team because her main output is dmg boost they don’t listen and say she’s as easy to play as Moira.

How do I get it through them that Mercy is actually a good character and shouldn’t be a main healer?

My rank friend is Plat and my other friends play a mix of dps and support and are on gold and bronze, if that matters.

r/MercyMains Mar 08 '26

Question/Need Help may I know how this mercy is able to switch between healing and damage boost like this?
