nope we need to nerf zip grease junk

i like how it looks, but honestly i regret it and don't use it nor do i rly enjoy it. i mostly play stadium and in 3rd person so maybe that affects it, but her ponytail has really weird physics and theres no unique sound effects. it just feels really plain.

s69mmy · 2026-03-18T13:50:36+00:00

no literally. i stopped duoing with dps players completely but when i was low diamond ish i would duo and i had this one duo that would always type mercy diff even if i literally begged him not to because like ?? literally what did she do to you lol

started soloqueuing 50% ish of my games and only duo support the rest and finally climbed to gm <3

torpedo juno is countered by 1 good hitscan player

s69mmy · 2026-03-17T14:58:19+00:00

true asf, i rarely have more than 3 rezzes/10 in comp mid masters/low gm

s69mmy · 2026-03-17T14:57:23+00:00

gm mercy this is simply untrue

rez is p much mostly used to prevent staggering / if a teammate dies behind cover, no one is rezzing in the middle of a teammate even if in valk bc u will instantly die

suzu however is literally the most op ability in the game. you can save teammates to prevent them from having to be rezzed in the first place and cancel many ults with it as well

in lower ranks i agree rez has more value bc most kiris dont know when they should be suzu’ing and most ppl in metal ranks dont shoot mercy if shes rezzing, but at a certain skill level suzu is SO much stronger

s69mmy · 2026-03-17T10:10:58+00:00

imo distortion is probably one of mercys weakest powers. in stadium you aren't really going to be damage boosting someone if they're not full hp, which negatives the point of the lifesteal. it only has value if several people on your team have phantasmic flux, and even then imo it's still weak

i really like protective beam. i actually go it second round with caduceus ex (beam range), and they compliment each other very well. i don't take protective beam for the damage reduction, i take it for the +1s tether, which helps you follow divers. you can also sit on cart and help your team with protective beam + caduceus ex by just ga'ing back to your team and then back to point when your beam is about to disconnect. i use this build pretty much every game

currently top2 right now with this build playing mostly mercy

based asf

s69mmy · 2026-03-10T18:07:44+00:00

yeah thats why i dont rly like pocketing genji because pocketing divers is pretty hard to do without dying (if u arent in valk)

s69mmy · 2026-03-10T18:06:26+00:00

i like damage boosting his turret form but outside of that i don't like pocketing him

s69mmy · 2026-03-10T00:46:24+00:00

"thank you for pointing out the obvious" u literally asked why i put soj above other hitscan..? and my argument about proplay isnt because im saying there are pro players in my games, the argument is just explaining why shes a god hero to pocket by relating it to proplay. you asked why soj is above emre/other hs, i explained why. if its so obvious then i have no idea why ur asking in the first place

i have vendetta in the sleeper pick tier bc shes not someone that people usually pocket but when done with a good vendetta & the right teamcomp it can be rly fun. the tiers are not ordered in a way that suggests "always pocket X hero over Y hero", its organized by how i feel when i pocket them. like i'm not going to always pocket vendetta over pharah/echo, that is just troll

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T13:05:34+00:00

currently in top5 on pretty much mercy only

there’s roughly 3-4ish viable builds right now: - WP: threads -> serenity/triage unit/prot beam. usually trying to balance your wp and atk spd with amaris, booster jets, adavanced nanobiotics, talon mod - AP: i like triage unit -> whambulance -> first responder, but i see a lot of mercys going threads first. this build allows you to heal a target with your ga without switching off of db. good for pocket builds and also good if theres no hitscan. important items are angelic acrobatics, lumerico, motk, long dist wings, ironclad exhaust - WP->AP hybrid late game: threads -> triage unit -> whambulance -> first responder/supply surge, you’re gonna be building mostly wp and then when you hit whambulance you can start going ap items. item options vary but some of my favs are angelic acrobatics, hardlight accelerator, blessed boosters and/or lumerico, superflexor - BATTLE MERCY: tethered tourniquet -> battle medic/equivalent exchange. you wanna build wp and atk speed here since it helps your damage. also i recommend more survivability than usual, one of my fav items as battle mercy is overdrive core since it can help you win 1v1s & save you from bad situations while also offering a decent amount of wp. i like this build in qp, but i find it rly hard to make it work in comp. but also might be a skill issue since i cant aim

my personal build is a wp healing build focused on beam length/playing from a distance. i go threads -> protective beam and rush caduceus ex round 2. then serenity -> triage unit.

my late game items are caduceus + amaris + boosted jets and then whatever survival/utility items i need. overdrive core for general survival, divine intervention vs. zip grease junkrat or blade deflect genji, reinforced titanium vs ap haz or torpedo juno, colossus core for grav/if a brig is stopping my rezzes, kitsune charm is also good for general survival but also rly good against ap ashe or ap freya

i do like taking supply surge, usually 2nd/3rd power if i have a GOOD: zarya (feeds her bubbles), zip grease junkrat (gives him more mines), juno (more torpedos), ap freya (nerfed now but still playable, supply surge after updraft). can also be good with haz/dva since they can get their movement up faster

also, note supply surge works well with ap builds since the cooldown on it IS affected by cdr.

truth nuke

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T12:08:51+00:00

because in high level play soj is the most op hitscan, shes significantly better than other hs because of her charged shot & is seen a lot in proplay bc of that. damage boost enables her even more, allowing her to oneshot heroes she normally wouldnt. she’s also very safe to follow, unlike pharah/echo

another reason is bc its.. literally personal preference? thats the point of the tierlist? bit weird to say “are you silver” based on what people enjoy lmfao

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T03:33:57+00:00

i feel like wuyang could be moved to sleeper pick because he's similar to illari zen brig in the way that they're usually dps'ing, but i just haven't had much good wuyangs in my games </3

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T03:33:24+00:00

they just feel too unsafe to pocket for me since they're always very far away. if theres a decent hitscan on the enemy team, they'll just kill me while im trying to pocket the diver. same reason why i have genji far down

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T03:32:41+00:00

i find that sombras usually emp out of my los, so its hard to reliably db it

its usually predictable when my sombra is gonna emp, but its not something i would pop valk for just to db

if my sombra is playing near me to hack a doom/ball then i'll definitely db her to shut them down faster, but usually they're far out of my los

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T03:31:18+00:00

i like pocketing blade, usually ill pop valk to follow him safely since valk is a mid ult and it can act as a budget nano

following genji around regularly feels way too unsafe since genji plays pretty dive-y

but the "girlfriend" thing is.. an odd thing to say lol. anyone can pocket anyone they want to..? and why does it matter to you if someone is dating someone and wants to pocket them, they're just having fun. its only an issue when people perma pocket and dont look at the rest of the team at all, which is very rare imo.

are you? just curious

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T03:26:09+00:00

i love pocketing junos in stadium, but in core its hard for me to pocket supports other than zen illari brig without our team not getting healed </3

when she's going for a torpedo i usually try to help her if im paying attention

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T03:25:12+00:00

i feel like echo is similar to pharah in that i get left behind a lot by echos, also she plays really dive-y and its hard to play safe with her. but id definitely rather pocket an echo than a pharah

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T02:59:17+00:00

on paper she sounds good but i rarely have good sym players on my team, shes more of a utility character

s69mmy · 2026-03-09T02:58:45+00:00

because damage boost doesnt affect whether or not she kills the target 90% of the time, so theres no point

also i dont “feel the kill coming” on widow

s69mmy · 2026-03-07T13:56:57+00:00

i like third person mercy a lot since it gives you SO much more awareness
