As a support main, I value your comment at 2:26 .... "please keep an eye on your 2nd support".... much respect on the vids, one day ill have to learn mercy movements!
i’m only 4 minutes in and already obsessed with u honestly, i like that you point out that some plays aren’t feasible in higher ranks; so many creators fail to mention that in educational content and it can form bad habits!! can’t wait to see the rest of this series ❤️❤️
12:35 can we just appreciate the interaction Mercy had with Genji after the assist? It was very charming and fits well to their relationship/lore lolol
You will probably get to GM before me at this rate. Ive been winning more games than ive lost and didnt move a rank and then i deranked. i didnt think to check what rank players im playing with like you did in the video so hopefully at the least im still ranking up in the background or something
I DREAM of having a second support or tank that cared about me staying alive a quarter as much as I do them... I genuinely feel hard stuck in gold because I can count on 1 hand the amount of games I've played out of 30 games where a tank or other support (never both in the same game, just hasn't happen to me) went out of their way to make me feel like I am part of the team rather than a pretty airborne accessory. Also these backwards and faster GA's got me in my feelings since the mercy nerfs.
1:25 : I'm actually surprised to see this one. I figured the damage boost would help Widow get a lot more kills since now body shots are devastating. Especially at low rank when Widow's aren't as good at headshots. But then again......I am low ranking haha, so I think I will follow your advice.
I have found that the lobbies tend to have players that fit into a far less tight grouping of ranks than in OW1 as you noted here while being in gold and playing with diamonds
I've noticed that you adopted very aggressive vertical playstyle especially in the first 2 episodes of the series. Is it actually viable and in general better than good old "Hiding behind whatever cover I can find so that I don't get demolished by the enemy DPS"?
It honestly depends. If the enemy team has a hitscan, I try to play more safe, the reason I did this specifically in the lower ranks, is because Hitscan is less prominent, and they miss shots more frequently. In high ranks I hide like a baby behind a wall and pray that the very fun Sojourn doesn't charge her railgun on my zarya and hit me with her beam of slayage.
Hey Gulpy, I have a question for Mercy. In almost all the games I play I have less healing than my fellow support (and sometimes the enemy supports), and I damage boost a lot. Do I damage boost too much? Should I heal more? I'm always off by about 1,000-4,000 healing and it always discourages me and gets me less motivated, and I want to know if sometimes that's okay to have less healing if you are consistently damage boosting.
it's okay to have low healing stats with Mercy compared to your other support, her character revolves around damage-boost, but under 4k healing in rank is a bit weird. Try to have at least 7k. I dont know the reason why your healing output is so low, so I'm gonna throw some tips here, maybe some of them will be useful to you Tips : - never die first and dont die to often in general. If you die a lot, it's probably the reason why you have low stats in healing and you should train your movements/game-sense/positionning to stay alive and be able to heal your team when they need it - dont die while trying to follow your pocket either. If it is too dangerous to follow your pocket out of position, dont do it, your life is more important - If your second support is a Zen, a Lùcio, a Brigitte or a DPS Moira, you are the main healer of your team, so you cant damage-boost as much as if you had an Ana or a Baptiste. You'll have to leave your pocket and heal more - help your other support, dont let him solo-heal 24h/24, it is a lot of pressure on him (he cant be aggresive) and the team has 0 heals if he is getting focussed. Always heal him - always heal the criticals teammates, try to keep everyone at 50 % at least during teamfights. Mercy can switch beams quickly, you will still be able to pocket your DPS while helping the rest of the team - if your second support dies, stop the pocket and heal everyone, keep them alive until he comes back from spawn - dont tunnel-vision on your pocket. Turn around, watch if your second support isnt getting targeted, keep an eye on the other DPS and help them if your second support cant reach them or cant save them alone hope it will help !
Does anyone else find trying to climb ranks not very fun? At first I was into it, but when I got around plat I just wasn’t having as much fun. Mercy is fun as fuck to play with her movement but when trying to win games it doesn’t feel like she makes a lot of difference tbh and I hate having to depend on a dps being good and knowing how to hit shit. Some games I’ll be getting like 5-6k dmg boosted but another game with pretty much the same team comp and beam percentages it’s like 2-3k. Idk maybe I’m just shit. This is all based off of solo queueing by the way.
Sorry if you’ve said this somewhere but I’m curious! What’s your win:loss, roughly, with this challenge? I’m more or less trying to climb as Mercy, myself, and while I feel like I do really good, some games it’s like there’s just no way to secure a win no matter what I try. Of course, I’m like a gold player at best so I know there’s always something to improve on (part of why this series is so helpful!), so I just figured I’d ask ahaha
Great question that I haven’t shared yet! Currently I’m masters with a 68% win rate. Some games are… impossible LOL. Some games you simply just can not win.
@@GulpyTV Pretty much what I’ve always expected from Mercy 💀 but god she’s just so fun to play!! Probably as close to feast or famine as you can get in Overwatch. Thanks for the reply! Feels good to know I’m not just going crazy ahahah

Gulpy: * misses every shot at the enemy mercy *
Gulpy: I keep that thang on me 🔫😤

Great video! Something about the way you play mercy keeps making me come back.
Loving the video’s. Keep it up and good luck on your journey to GM!❤

Flashbacks when ppl care more about ult economy when there was mercy with mass rezz lol
"This is just embarassing"
*proceeds to hold tab and block the replay* LMAO
I hold tab during downtime to see who has what, who is close to what, and to ult check on enemy team ^^
@@GulpyTV oh yea I see but I was cuious how the enemy's POV looked like LOL
So relaxing...
is there a mercy priority tier list? which targets to prior more
I can’t wait for the next episode
I have found that the lobbies tend to have players that fit into a far less tight grouping of ranks than in OW1 as you noted here while being in gold and playing with diamonds
Love this not many people love making healer/mercy only content hope we get to play together someday!
bro the tips for mercy made me go from mid silver mercy to mid diamond so far
I need this 😩
this made me wanna play mercy again after her shift rework

@@MM-ne2cl i usually get about 9k-14k healing and 3-7ish deaths per game so i'd say im fine for now
