Well, she's a niche character that requires high skills to play. I must admit I also immediately get skeptical when someone picks her, just like when someone picks Hanzo or Junkrat. Yes, they can be really good, but at my skill level (3000ish) the chances of that is rather slim. I've given up asking people to change tho. People take that shit personally when you ask them to change so we can have a better composition. | ||

She's like Ana, basically. People thinks she's a terrible hero until people start playing her correctly. | ||

People thinks she's a terrible hero until people start playing her correctly. She's a little hard to use in uncoordinated play because her main strength is in how fast she charges EMP in 2CP but that requires her to be played as a 2ndary support and for ppl to use her hacked healthpacks. She's kinda bad as a dps replacement, and sometimes koreans use her in 3 support comps on defence on 2cp first point or on control point defence on hybrid maps. But even then, 3 support needs even more communication because you actually have fairly low damage most of the time so I wouldn't suggest her in serious solo Queue environments unless you basically tell EVERYONE how to play with her. With time it might change but right now she's mostly bad on ladder because her teammates don't understand her role. | ||

Only time she doesnt work is if your tanks don't know what a healthpack is and then you switch to Ana and dominate with endless Nano boosts. (Or if people see her as anything else then a support replacement and you end up in tripple support, that is not Zen/Lucio/Sombra) Now for the real QQ. I am getting annoyed by the damn Mercy One Trick Quest you have to finish each match you have one of those. You need to have her res 4+, before she starts trying. It is especially annoying if each side has a Mercy One Trick since the weaker team usually finishes the quest first. And its real tricky to explain to your team that you need to get your Mercy her PotG without her stopping to heal you. Of course there are Mercy's One Tricks that dont do that. But if you have a Mercy with an abyssal winrate on your team (sub 50% in GM) remember to do the Mercy quest fast ! | ||

Reinhardts that keep charging away from me into 4-5 others (I played lucio so it's not like I could follow him anyway) Ofcourse he dies and I stand there with no tank to back me up. Our team being 4-1-1 didn't help much either. Somehow we won anyway but It's frustrating to be a healer with these types of teammates. | ||

And I always fear an easy 2-0 on control point maps. It is usually that moment where your team starts to try cute plays. And the enemy gives up on a standard comp and tries the heroes they are good with. And suddenly the momentum switches heh. Anyway even in GM it works more often then the other way to play heroes your comfortable with. | ||

Why? I'll tell you. Silver is so damn toxic it's ridiculous. Silver is literally just an inch better than bronze yet I keep meeting these 17-1800 wannabe pros that whine and complain that I'm somehow the reason they can't get to gold. If I pick anything that isn't 100% standard theres whine and more whine & then some more. The more people whine the less standard heroes I pick. In bronze at least nobody tries to be something there not. It's much more chill. | ||

That's like the entire platinum league. It get's fun playing in platinum compared to silver. there is a distinct difference between the quality of players in both leagues. | ||

Yeah the system can fluctuate incredibly. I think it needs some tweaking. | ||

But they left a backdoor for the feel good rankers. Play Mercy, keep your ult and hide for a 5 person res. Get GM with a 45% winrate. Only problem is you will be hated more then Hanzo ! | ||

If you can do that and keep a 45% winrate all the way from Gold to GM, you're probably doing a damn good job as Mercy. | ||

I don't think someone directly contributing to their team losing by purposely picking bad heroes for the composition should be rewarded with a good rank, even if they're decent with that hero. | ||

Thought until now Mayhem and Mystery Heroes would have been figured out. But its still the losing side leaving in both modes, essentially denying themself the easier defense / attack. | ||
