Mercy vod review

On the first point you play too far out in the open. All supports must use cover to survieve. It wasn’t needed here, but against better players it will be and it’s a great thing to practice. I like using the front left room or the middle one as cover and stand in a corner.
In general you need better cover useage. Stay close to walls. Try to make sure your enemies can’t see you.
Look more at the enemy team.

Practise GA slingshotting. You walk too much and GA slingshot too little.

I would also like to see more frequent use of tab. Warn your team if they swap. If you can’t see someone from their team they’re probably flanking etc.

It looks like your opponents got tilted. They started playing worse and your team started playing better.

Your valks and resses are your biggwst strengths, keep those up.

0:32 - don’t focus on your team, focus on your own play. It will help you improve and help your mentality.
1:25 - damage boost your reins firestrike at the beginning of the match
1:37 - you can now press tab and see their team comp. If you did so you would have known they had a doomfist. Because he isn’t in the front he is doing a flank -> far right flank above the abyss. At this point you should glance behind you to the right to spot him and call out to your team.
1:42 - you hear the doomfist but can’t see him. This is scary. Fly away and try to get a visual.
1:42 - call out the doomfist as soon as you know he is behind you. A simple “doom behind” or “doom on healers”.
1:45 - your ana and hanzo are critical. Heal your ana and trust him to heal your hanzo.
1:51 - glance towards main to know what your enemies are doing.
2:00 - you don’t know where any of their team is, which made you fly into doomfist. You don’t know where they are because you look too much at your team and too little at theirs.
2:07 - healing the doomfist is tempting, but you need to be able to return to the front line in 3 seconds at most which you can’t -> frontline dies. With better movement you could have GA slingshotted to the front.

It has now been 45 seconds of 6v6 brawl with no callouts from your team. Try to do some more callouts. If you see an enemy alone or overextending call it. If not call to focus the enemy who is the furthest in the front. You can also call when your enemies use abilities, “hog no hook” or similar.
If you don’t want to call targets you can always call when an ally or enemy dies and if your team should push or fall back. Simples calls such as “up one, push” or “down two, back”.

2:24 - I would have liked to see you call that you are ressing and ress further up due to the doomfist. Calling that you are ressing means your team mates will sometimes help you and sometimes they know to expect less healing.
2:37 - don’t walk, use GA.
2:40 you are in the open with no knowledge of what is happening in main.
2:45 - don’t walk, use GA.
2:59 you die because you weren’t in cover and your GA’ing wasn’t good enough. Calling that you are dead is great, but it should be because your team has less healing, not because you made a mistake.
3:38 - call your team to either back off or move in now.
4:00 - your team staggered super hard. Always fight on point or don’t fight at all in these situations.
4:00 - you should have known their mc cree had an ult -> you were too high during your valk.
4:05 - your rein did the right thing by suiciding.
4:15 - move left instead of right. Left has more cover and a zarya who can help you, for all you know someone could be waiting for you when you turn right.
4:17 - you acknowledge the lack of coms. Change it! You have 6 sets of ears and eyes, by sharing information you all know more.
4:17 - finally a tab, but 2 min 40 sec too late. At this point you should think “which enemies have ult?” You saw high noon just when point a was capped. Do you know which other ults they have at this point?
4:20 - it wasn’t a dps but a hog that was waiting for you. Luckily he went for your zarya and not you.
4:21 - you should practise GA slingshotting. Even a simple GA instead of walking could maybe save your life. That or turning left would have saved you.
4:36 - no coms and now your team is tilted. In order to combat tilts you should give out compliments once in a while. Whenever a zarya bubble is life saving, rein gets a good shatter, a dps gets a pick or pops off etc. Also constructive coms help combat tilt.
4:38 - fly to your zarya and help her. Your ana doesn’t need help.
4:43 - these were all full health. Damage boost hanzo in this scenario.

4:45 - now you have some time between fights. Press tab. Which ults does your team and the enemies have? Should your team be careful of something? Does either side have a combo they want to use? Should you be extra careful of an enemy ult?

4:48 - compliment is great. When you get trapped, instantly melee your feet. If there is a mine, it will destroy the mine which will save your life. It’s a good habit to have when you get trapped.
4:56 - you are standing in the open with a target on your head. The best thing to do is stand with your hanzo and damage boost him. The second best thing is to be in cover close to your tanks.
4:59 - you fly to hanzo and jump down - why? You can take cover behind the rotating thing on the high ground.
5:10 - call the doomfist.
5:16 - fly up to your doomfist and help him. You are up 2 so you should play aggro.
5:19 - great callout, more of these. However, try to be more specific. He is behind you to the left by the mega health pack. Also the callout distracted you. You healed a full health target while doing it. If you continue to do call outs it will become more natural.
5:22 - always damage boost hanzo ult. When you stop getting hit markers stop damage boosting it.
5:24 - take a quick glance to the right before ressing and call your ress.
5:28 - don’t be mad that your hanzo died.
5:30 - after hanzo is 75% let your ana do the rest of the healing and damage boost your hanzo.
5:55 - The moment the tire got 2 you should either die (fly into the enemies) or go back to spawn. You essentially stood still in the middle of the room. That is a dangerous game to play.
6:06 - good kiting but you should have healed doomfist
6:13 - should have contested yourself if your team doesn’t do it themselves. You were only down 1.


Your first attack begins


In spawn, let your pharah know you can’t pocket because zen doesn’t heal enough for the rest of the team.

First point cap your team owned and there isn’t much to say.
8:45 - the cleanest first point I have seen in a while. Compliment your team.
8:46 - push up with your dps. Try to secure early kills.
9:00 - doomfist suicided. Huge opportunity, momentum from 1st + more ult charge + 6v5. Call that your team must push.
9:33 - say it in voice chat. Compliments :)


Your second defence begins

You have a pharah again and the second healer is an ana. This time you can pocket your pharah more if you wish to.

11:07 - damage boost reins fire strike at the beginning. It generates a lot of ult charge and shatter is a great ult.
11:16 this positioning is great. Flying behind the bridge. You can’t get shot at and you are working at full efficiency.
11:18 - don’t fall slowly and predictable to the ground however. GA out of harm’s way.
11:28 - why did you all mobe back? You see hanzo and ana move back, trust them to 2v1 the flanker and help your frontline. If you go back your tanks are without healing -> dead.
11:32 - good call but late.
11:38 - monkey dove hanzo. Help him instead of healing full hp ana.
12:40 - follow your team. A lonely mercy is a dead mercy.
12:07 - your d ca went super aggro, try to help her. Use your rein to GA slingshot to her.
12:08 - damage boost hanzo ult
12:11 - you hear doomfist. Look behind you. Call it.
12:12 - heal d va who is critical.
12:18 - you hear doomfist. Look behind you while healing baby d va. Call it.
12:20 - you see doomfist and someone flying. Heal that someone!
12:25 - the instant winston ults fly inside the house by your frontline. When / if he chases you fly to your backline. Now ping pong and waste his ult. Flying close to your frontline is also scary for the monkey because you have a reaper.
12:25 - call that you need help.
12:29 - maybe you could have GA’ed to the other side of the point with a bit more awareness / a bit quicker reaction.
12:50 - call for your team to push on doomfist and stagger him.
13:05 - good damage boost, but don’t stop looking at the 10 other players. You had no idea reaper was going to ult and you want to help him out during it. You can see your own team through walls and peak the window to see the enemies.
13:15 - contrary to what your rein says you actually want to take this fight. You are up 3. Even without him it’s 5v3 - fly to your frontline and help, but be careful.
13:20 - you spent 5 seconds looking 180 degrees the wrong way.
13:25 - good use of this wall as cover.
13:30 - damage boost.
13:45 - i like this valk, but you should have known mc cree had ult -> don’t fly as high. This happened earlier too. If you don’t track ults at all don’t fly up during valk if they have cree / soldier.
14:15 - call your ress, even if you aren’t currently fighting.
14:17 - call next fight is last fight. Sometimes your team mates don’t know and save their ults for something that will never come.
14:20 - great use of this corner
14:22 - you are debating the ress. It was great. 20 secs left = last fight now = you want all 6.
14:24 - you see monkey jumping at someone. Help that someone and call it
14:29 - late and vague call
14:31 - your rein is confused because you didn’t make a call that you don’t have to help backline any longer. I would have called “monkey diving” and afterwards “monkey dead”.
14:33 - great call, more of these! Target and location is optimal.
14:48 - and a compliment :)


Your second attack begins

16:25 - damage boost.
16:32 - you can now press tab and see their comp. Do so and warn your team of their bastion.
16:42 - this is a bad ress. You don’t want to ress if allies will die during the ress.
17:17 - this time you push up, great.
17:22 - no, don’t turn around and do nothing. Look at the fight and heal / damage boost.
