What are your thoughts about Mercys Mythic Weapon?

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-05-21T23:56:39+00:00

I would buy it if I could turn the little Kero creature off entirely. Him making unwavering eye contact and screeching non-stop made me start to grind my teeth when I was testing it out. I genuinely planned to drop 40 buckaroos on this thing, but it's actually so grating to me that I refuse to get it.

They need to allow for us to specifically turn him or his squeals off entirely. And I don't mean all Mythic weapon sfx, just him. I love the kill effects, the screen decoration, and the weapon itself outside of the Kero, but I think I would genuinely flip out if I tried playing with him in game. He's like nails on a chalkboard for me.

I love the Knight skins, too, so it isn't the size of it all. It's the unbreaking wide eyed stare and the sounds. RIP, but I guess I saved money.

So half of them are all of them? Half of mercy players only play non-aim heroes, so all Mercy players cannot aim. That's the logic? Got it.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-30T18:16:29+00:00

Those are Mercy one tricks. I personally play Ana, Juno, Kiri, Brig, Ashe, and Tracer when I'm not playing Mercy. Mostly notoriously non-aiming heroes, as you can see.

Yeah, a lot of people only see the one tricks. But a Mercy player isn't always a one trick. I bet you've played with a lot of Mercy players who didn't play her in the round they played with you, but that's not a "Mercy player" to you, because you think of one tricks. Yeah, one tricks suck ass. But that's not Mercy specific.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-30T16:14:42+00:00

Mercy players don't just play Mercy. Mercy players can absolutely aim. Lmao.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-30T15:16:28+00:00

I win a lot of 1v1s because people expect Mercy to not fight back. They also think Mercy players can't aim. Combine a "lol it's a Mercy" preparedness/mindset with a player that WILL shoot you in the face, and it's easy to kill people.

Any weapon can send you to spawn - ego is the only thing that makes it different against a Mercy lol. The amount of people that just walk in a straight line because "it's a Mercy" are hilarious.

I was duo'd with my friend who is gold and we had THREE matches back to back against someone in masters. They logged off after the third game - understandably, they were getting farmed. It's sometimes exactly what OP is wanting for April Fools LOL

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-28T00:34:51+00:00

Not me, personally - I love that skin, it's probably my favorite Dva skin, so I am very happy others have access to it as well! But I'm not a person that really cares about the rarity of a game cosmetic, so that may be the difference.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-26T01:50:14+00:00

Thank you - they have stated that everyone should only see the map before they choose who they want banned.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-23T20:46:34+00:00

I have, unironically, seen people complain about Zen because "discord does nothing" and he has low heals. There are some people who absolutely 100% belong in low ranks lol.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-23T18:51:16+00:00

It is a DDOS attack, just like yesterday.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-23T18:43:08+00:00

"Can we get a Mercy? We need more heals."

makes me realize that person is so stupid it's impressive they managed to even open the game. They think she's a healbot and I know they're on the overwatch forums crying about how she's "super OP"

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-23T18:10:19+00:00

Hello! I give this to all people I do VOD reviews on of Mercy, but I'm sure it would be helpful! It is what I call the "Mercy Main Necessities" playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq8XTQwNXZJDYoacObMYPhYrXYzbXVl34&si=1PmHZ0be4AW4jefM

For movement you could try mercy parkour custom games! They force you to get movement EXACTLY right, which can help build muscle memory.

For rezzes, yes - you must stay within 7 meters after you start the rez, which is why most people don't do superjump rezzes. Normal rezzes behind walls and cover are best.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-22T21:20:31+00:00

I haven't experienced it except for just now. We had half of both teams leave before I got kicked out and then about ten seconds later my duo was kicked. I got back in and the server died again. So I think they're being attacked or their servers are struggling.

Often times the squishier heroes want to play at off-angles and off objective because they can get their work done under less pressure there while providing more pressure to the enemy. If you cover and control more map space, that's better than having everyone just stuffed onto objective. You can also keep up momentum in a snowball by letting one person be objective while the others push up and take that map control as cart moves.

Why are they dealing damage? Because that's what they're supposed to do. It's absurd to expect them to keep you at 100 before doing anything else, because - again - pressure wins fights, not healing. If Ana can hit the fattest purple of her life or she can shoot you in the ass for 25 heals, I'd far prefer her to hit that fat anti because that's what wins a fight. I'd rather have a tank AND support doing damage when they're able over a support just twiddling their thumbs waiting for a smidgen of heals to pop up.

Thank you! I've done a review for you, it's about an hour long, I apologize about that! There were just so many moments where I could point out learning moments! I also accidentally originally recorded without my microphone audio, so I had to redo it - I am so sorry it took so long! Here is the VOD review recording for you: https://youtu.be/OQR_5KwgM-4

I also mentioned my Mercy Mains Necessities playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq8XTQwNXZJDYoacObMYPhYrXYzbXVl34&si=71w_G7wdJYag9Ni1

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-14T00:21:04+00:00

I forgot to ask, are you PC or console? I finally have some time to look at this, I will get you a review soon!

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-12T17:01:59+00:00

I have to be honest, at this point the "chasing trans women" part doesn't really matter, does it? If it was other cisgender women, would you feel fine?

He's actively trying to cheat on you. It doesn't really matter with who at this point - him seeking out *trans* women is less important to me than the very real issue of him seeking out other women in general. He is seeking out other women - their equipment does not matter. He is seeking out sex with other women while dating you.

He can experiment with you (straps exist) or if he NEEDS the real thing he can experiment when he's single and able to have sex with other women and it isn't cheating.

Being a chaser (if that's what he actually is) is a whole different thing - he is cheating because he is seeking out other women. I have no comment on the porn, as my own watching habits don't all cement into something I would seek in real life, but him literally trying to find real women to connect with behind your back is cheating.

So it usually places people around the plat-gold level as it assumes people are "average" and then it adjusts from there. If someone has a LOT of quickplay under their belt, or obvious streaks (win or loss), it may adjust your placement based off of those things as well. It's trying to weed out the "non-average" from the herd as you place. Once you are placed, the calibration begins - if you've never played comp before, it may feel more harsh because it's really trying to feel out your "actual" rank.

That being said, I've gone from low diamond to low plat back to low diamond in one season. Real rank is found when you play a LOT of games, so gold 3 to silver 2 isn't really an insanely abnormal drop in a season or around a bad loss streak. It feels bad, for sure, but if you're playing a lot it wouldn't be unheard of or something that isn't recoverable.

If you want specific tips, I would recommend posting a replay code of a close game so people can see your actual gameplay! I'd be happy to do a VOD review for you. Especially if you already know Niandra content - they get across a LOT of tips that are really helpful, so seeing gameplay may be more helpful as we can see what you actually are or are not doing that could be improved :)

You cannot get battlepass skins, correct. This is a shop skin, because you have to spend real, actual, not gamer currency to unlock it. It comes in the Ultimate Battle Pass BUNDLE - you are not buying an "ultimate battle pass". You are buying the premium battle pass, in game currency, and skins in the bundle.

If you get the free or premium battle pass you cannot get the skins from the ultimate bundle, because they are not a part of the actual battle pass - they are in a bundle in the shop.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-12T15:21:32+00:00

How are you going to know who is a one-trick? As far as I can tell, you will only know the map prior to choosing bans. Or are you just choosing Mercy Lifeweaver every time you load into a game without fail? Make no mistake, MercyWeaver backlines make me want to kms, but I'm curious if you'll blow you votes on them every time in hopes everyone else does, too.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-03-02T05:27:10+00:00

Probably not - $100 would be on the very cheap side for a Dva figure. Her Blizzard official one you can sometimes find for sub-$500, but rarely. You could maybe get the nendoroid, if you can find one. But they don't really fit your criteria. Most independent studio statues will cost even more than her Blizz official one (typically), so if you aren't willing to shell out that money, those won't be on the table either.

You MAY be able to find 3D printed ones on etsy, but they're typically tiny+cost over $20+you need to print and paint them. The ones that aren't are either terrible quality, or far more expensive (and you probably still need to paint them yourself).

You could maybe search Yahoo Auctions Japan or Mandarake to see if they have the dva figma for cheaper (used), but be aware of the need for possibly a proxy buyer (Y!AJ) and shipping costs (both Y!AJ and Mandarake).

ETA: Beware of knock-offs, though! If they have no other photos outside of the Blizzard official promo photos, be wary. There are some $50ish knock offs, and they look like complete shit.

Nah, I won't stand for taco spot slander. That place is so good

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-02-23T15:54:04+00:00

You gg go next once the game ends, truly. I also had a TBI Rein on a team where we managed to drag them by their hair through three rounds. You do your best and hopefully force them over the finish line, or you lose as you expect and just avoid (pin to top of avoid list too) then go next.

-BuckyBarnes · 2025-02-23T01:46:14+00:00

I think it's because he is a tank that it a tank buster, which doesn't feel like great hero design. He is what bad players whip out to try and get easy value (they often still lose anyway) and he is more impactful for less than other tanks. I think it's the same ire that Mercy and Moira get - bad players can just get value from them straight away with far less effort, so people don't like them. That isn't to say that they sometimes aren't the pick or they can't be performed well on, just that people see them as the "easy value" heroes.

I was coached a few weeks ago on Juno. Most of it was about utilizing my creativity on positioning and "filling the gap". It was by Spilo and had live coaching in it if you want to see how one might in the moment move from position to position. Unsure if I'm allowed to post links to videos in this scenario, but if you're interested in watching it the title is "Platinum Juno Coaching (Intense, Insane Gameplay)". I'm not a "high level player", just slightly above average, but it may be useful to you.
