      Hey small question; Is it worth damage boosting a bap?
      I know he does alot of DPS but-
      You'd be sacrificing your own ult charge so... your other healer gets their ult quicker.

      I finally found a comfortable way to play her on console. I don’t think it’s optimal but idc: thumbs for walking and looking around, index finger on the bottom of d-pad for crouching, left ring finger for l1, my leg for l2, index finger on triangle for jumping, middle finger on r1, ring finger on r2. I find using my leg for resurrecting quite innovative if I could say so myself

      I completely rebound her on console just to make her constant GA super jumps more comfortable. For anyone interested:
      R1: heal
      R2: dmg
      L1: GA
      L2: jump
      X: rez
      O: melee
      L3: weapon swap
      R3: crouch

  • @CTViewer07
    @CTViewer07 2 года назад +191

    For the Ana anti-heal nade, I apply the same mindset with Junker Queen’s ult. It’s also why I like Kiriko since I can just throw my bell after Ana makes a fat anti-nade or Junker Queen makes her big anti-heal dash.

    • @simonb.6281
      @simonb.6281 2 года назад +1

      I have a slightly different approach where I actually do heal with mercy while the anti-heal is still active. My reason is that I am not tracking how long the nade still lasts (there is already so much going on) and sometimes allies just get hit by so much, that when the anti-heal ends it heals them a little bit earlier and might be just enough to save them. I have that situation frequently.

    • @anagonzalez9330
      @anagonzalez9330 2 года назад +3

      it lasts 3 second the anti, so maybe you could boost for 2 sec and at the last one switch to heal to instantly go back to that, being conscious about may be difficult at first, but youll improve!!

    As a mercy Main, when I am the last one standing and it’s overtime, I highly recommend instead of just tryna run around like a chicken with your head cut off trying not to die, instead use your teammates souls to bounce back and forth on the point because it gives great maneuvering skills and it will highly benefit your team who is trying to Rush back in

  • @typhlo7291
    @typhlo7291 2 года назад +28

    Idk if this is mentioned in another video, but another great mercy tip about jumping during guardian angel is that mercy can do more than just fly in the direction you are looking when you press the jump button. Idk about side to side, but if you hold backward during the jump, you will fly backwards very quickly. This can be great for flying with guardian angel towards an ally in the middle of a dangerous teamfight to get in beam range and then quickly getting out of danger; i've used this many times during 5v5's and it's definitely helped me save multiple teamfights without taking a huge amount of damage immediately.

    @aranayailyaris73 2 года назад +44

    btw, regarding the ult charge of damage boost, I did some tests in OW1 and found that *both* heroes get full credit for the extra damage in their ult meters. This means that amplified damage effectively counts for *twice* as much in the ult economy as damage you or an ally do by themselves.

    A good measure of when a teammate is healthy in most scenarios is around 60%-70% health or higher. Using this can allow you to open up to dmg boost as well as learn how to juggle beams more. Obviously this is depends on many variables such as team comps, focus fire etc. but getting comfortable with juggling beams and dmg boost will increase your APM and usefulness.

    Well, I've extracted 3 key points from this:
    .Abuse the 1.3 secs when your beam stays attached to an ally when out of range / line of sight
    .Don't use super jump unless you need to reposition
    .Hold down damage boost and tap healing instead of the other way round
    And it worked, and I'm now Gold 2 with Mercy

    Hey Niandra! Note for the holding down damage boost then tapping healing tip.
    I learned about this tip from you maybe a year or two ago? I’m a console player it is AGONIZING to hold the bumper down for so long. I switched my heal and damage boost bindings around so I hold the trigger instead, and it’s really comfortable like that!! So this IS doable for console, we just need to switch bindings to not break our hands.
    Great videos, always looking forward to them!!

    I've been playing Mercy a couple months after getting into OW2 with my friends. I had no idea about dashing in the direction you're looking, it feels so basic I'm kicking myself for not knowing. I did learn a really niche tip though. Junker Queen heals when she does damage with the wounds she applies with her melee, throwing knife, and big cut thing. The damage of wounds is boosted by Mercy damage buff, but so is the healing she gets. So by damage boosting her, and telling her to throw in a melee every now and again, you can boost her damage and heal her extra, meaning you can switch to damage boost much more often

  • @sethescope
    @sethescope 2 года назад

    1:54 I feel like this can be summed up in the advice of: your job is to help your team win the fight, not to heal them.
    there are games where there are healers, where the role or category is called "healer." wow is a good example of this. being good at the healer role in wow means knowing your spell rotations so you can pump out the most healing per mana and you can keep your tank and dpses alive as well as knowing when you can get away with lower cost healing spells and just save the higher cost ones for when you REALLY need them. and generally, you only contribute damage when everyone is more or less full. in most scenarios like raids, healers are not doing much except healing for the entire encounter.
    overwatch is not like that. overwatch is a different kind of game. the role is called support. healing is one of our tools, but it's not the main or only tool. support is about helping the team win the fight. it's not "heal heal heal and only when everyone is full, do something else"
    just because you can heal doesn't mean healing is your only or more important contribution. and just because someone is missing hp and could be healed doesn't mean your #1 priority is to replace the health they're missing

  • @chac6957
    @chac6957 2 года назад +1

    I do want to push more damage boost, but my cowardly heart always makes me go with healing. It also doesn't help that I don't trust the other healer in my team that much. If the other healer has generally low healing, like Brigitte or Lucio, I tend to focus more on healing.
    I usually try to damage boost during Valk though.
    I can't do superjump rez consistently, so I have been doing a poor-man version of it. I superjump first, then fall down until I am in rez range then start the rez. Don't know how much it helps though.

I know it's also a matter of getting used to and preference but I've seen so many people say mercy's ow2 movement is worse than ow1, meanwhile there's so much potential with it and allows you for so much flexibility that is now easier to access, but requires just as much skill to utilise correctly with maybe an even higher value ceiling.

    I find what you say about damage amplification interesting. I use damage amp equally with healing and in my best game I get 30 assists but I only get 1k damage amplification which is 1/3 of the goal I should reach. Does damage amp matter more than the assists that I have contributed? I get usually 51% damage amp and 49% healing by the way.

    Instead of strictly a number per 10 minutes, is it worth looking at the % one on the side? I tend to average 70% dmg beam atm, with a 1k per minute output across all abilities (Dmg, Dmg boost and healing. I know its weird for me to group them together like that, but thats just how I've always approached it). The % statistic is significantly larger and easier to read in my experience.

    It's difficult to get 2-3K damage amplified in mid to lower ranks. Total team damage at those ranks is often less than 12K including DPS, Tanks and Support. Instead, can we look at a goal for the % of time using damage boost vs healing? What is a good % goal? My damage is around 60-65% vs my healing at 40% - 35%. Is that what Mercy's are doing at the higher ranks, or are they putting out even more damage boost on average?

      I am not a super high rank, just low diamond, but I also have 60 to 40 ratio (in general, different games can go differently depending on many factors, can be 70-30 or more like 56-44 or so, but heal beam usage is never higher than dmg boost usage)

    Do you have a setting to not GA until rez is over because I've canceled rez by GA away from it.
