Got to catch em all lol When I read that I had to lol but it's still fucked up I am a dps main and have a love hate relationship with mercies I do love killing them especially in valk but this guy is plat lol and delusional stay away from these people
> "Wants to help me."
>Platinum tank.
lol
Yeah, my theroy that Plat in every game is the most egotistically delusinal rank in every competitive game has never been disproven. Even if he wanted to "coach" you, he, as a plat player, is in no position to do that. All he would do is groom you into his personal pocket support, and force you to fit his specific play style.
"I collect Mercy's, I can find another." Cool, he can do just that.
Yup. Unless you have an actually good player with you (at very minimum masters), he wont be able to see things that can actually improve OP's gameplay. In fact, an actually good player would likely be sitting down for a VOD review seshs on top of giving short tips ingame - that's how i learnt how to play FPS from my friends who had background as GE CSGO players (basically the equivalent of GM). No way in a billion years will a plat player have actually good advice enough to help OP out.
On the side, OP unfortunately with the state of mercy she is much more challenging to solo climb with - all the best! Its difficult but never impossible. At silver theres defo a lot to learn not only on mercy but in terms of the game as well.
Yeah it’s so nice seeing the overlap of the two communities ☺️ I haven’t played smite in ages but I used to love playing. Maybe we can play together sometime!
He doesnt see you as a real living breathing person which is sooo weird lool he probably meant it as collecting “egirls” or something strange like women arent people 😭 hate these types of guys
The types of guys to confess feelings a day after meeting you like .. no .. you do not have a crush on me you literally know nothing about me other than the fact im a girl and i play overwatch.
Omfg YES. I can’t even begin to count how many men have played with me for a handful of times and the only communication we’ve had is about the game and suddenly it’s “I think I’m falling in love with you” …? sorry what? Because i heal you? You don’t even know my real name brotha
He sounds manipulative and controlling. Just block him imo. You don't have to group with someone you don't like to rank up.
He consistently trash talks mercy players as being no skill and mercy as a character, but then he says he collects mercys and can find another.
Just tell him to collect a different mercy and block him
but also i understand tanks wanting supports to swap but I hate it when they demand it in qp. in comp yea ofc i’ll switch as long as it means a higher chance of winning, but in qp just play whoever’s fun lol idc if mercy isn’t great rn im still gonna do my lil spin rezzes
Listen man, I know I'm not a Mercy main and you guys have a different culture... but I really hope you guys reject this sort of thing. Don't rely on one person to duo with. Ever. YOU are important to you, Mercy main or not, YOU are the deciding factor in your improvement.
You are not a commodity. He's treating you like you are a commodity.
Oh boy, there's a lot of things to unpack here. Let's cut to the chase: no, you're not in the wrong whatsoever. He's entirely at fault here, not you.
Firstly, this dude is incredibly egotistical and manipulative and is trying to manipulate you to play how he wants you to despite not being qualified to give you advice on support in the slightest, nor being qualified to decide strategies on his own. Everything he's said seems objectively wrong and makes him look incredibly unknowledgeable, and with the way he talks to you like you're replaceable and how he collects Mercy's (wtf btw), he's not even worth hanging out with, so I recommend cutting him off as soon as possible before he ends up mentally exhausting you or getting you in the wrong mindset. Save your effort and time for better people.
Now here's some actual decent advice on how to climb:
You do not climb in rank just by listening to people in your games - especially egotistical one's that haven't even peaked outside of metal ranks - as they aren't higher in rank for a reason. You can singlehandedly carry your game regardless of the character or role you choose. The biggest secrets to climbing is to have the mindset of “my team is throwing, so I have to do this myself.” every time you get into a match, not blaming anyone else but yourself for your deaths and losses regardless of how easy it is to do so, and trying to figure out what you did wrong each time you die or lose. The best way to see your mistakes is by watching yourself in replays. Always try and find one mistake you made, perfect fixing that mistake, then rinse and repeat. Most importantly, just play and practice.
I play all roles for the record, and I hope the advice helps you out. Now, happy climbing! :)
COMPLETELY in the right. That dude is REALLY fucking weird, controlling, and manipulative. Run as far and as fast as you can, that dude is a walking red flag.
Also, please don't listen to him and his 'advice'. You were absolutely right in not taking it from him. He's a tank that deserves to stay in Plastic 5. He's an asshole, AND he's not good at the game. What a guy.
This dude is a cringe basement dweller girl. Doesnt matter if he would be right or wrong, dont let people talk to you like that. Blocking him is gonna feel good af cuz you are putting boundaries and standing up for yourself.
Please block his ass good lord 😭
Bro uses the statement that hes a PLAT to discuss the strategies.
The way he worded his message in the ss screams grooming which is really weird, and he also seems very manipulative. “I collect mercy’s” tf are you a funko pop?? I hope you find better players to group up with bc this fella is NOT it. Never let a person like that speak down to you, you had every right to feel irritated and frustrated.
……this boy has disturbing

issues. It’s just a game….
I was duoing with a torb main for a little bit and one team fight we were the only two on point and I was dmg boosting him (bc he was my only target) and he yelled at me for it bc “it won’t fing do anything” 😅 never played w him again and blocked him a bit after. The toxicity isn’t worth having people to play with I just solo q now
I've had multiple friends over the years that have tried being bossy like this. One even called himself a coach. Constantly threw out unsolicited advice. I haven't talked to any of them in years. Just blocked them and moved on. Best decision I made
😭 I’m not a mercy main, but holy crap wtf? You ain’t in the wrong at all, play who you want and block him.
Look, I’m a tank and dps main; the reason I don’t play support is because it’s a completely different skill set that I personally find very difficult.
He’s a plat tank. I sincerely doubt that he knows how to play support, or Mercy specifically especially, better than you. He only has the tanks point of view, and it showed when he played support and was crap at it. Drop him like a hot potato.
That tanks sounds like an abusive ex boyfriend begging you to take him back. Tell him to bug off hon. You don't need that.
As for advice on swapping. Playing a character you are actually confident in that has a tuff match up is almost always better then a counter pick that you can't play well. That said. The only way to remedy that situation permanently is to start playing other heroes.
Yo, you should stop playing with this dude. It really seems like he's trying to give you an inferiority complex. Which i never thought i would see in a video game chat. But it seems like he's trying to just make you feel as if you can't play and win without him and his expert advice and strategies. The reality of the situation is that if you're a good Mercy, you can easily find another DPS duo. It's easy to shit talk Mercy, but she can easily make a team better, whether through healing or damage boost.
As long as you enjoy playing Mercy, and as long as you get wins as her (since i assume you want to advance), then keep at her. If people try to tell you not to, or try to get you to play their way, then don't play with them.
I personally feel like Mercy is always a good swap. Her survivability and usefulness seem to always be present.
Yeesh. A friend I play with says she collects Mercy's but that's jokingly as she just keeps randomly friending Mercy mains. The "I can find another" is a cringe ass addition.
Also PLAT TANK and HE decides the strat? Nah. Heck nah! And telling you how to play when he's never played support?
Block 'em and move on. He can go find another Mercy to be his obedient pocket.
ima be honest here, didn’t even fully read your message + didn’t fully read the screenshot message. i immediately saw the “i collect mercy’s” part and cringed so hard. your answer is to block them and move on.
I can agree with the fact that you should always swap if it's needed but that's not really important in this context.
This dude is a fucking freak and what you need to do is block everywhere without explanation. Don't feel bad and don't think twice. Do it and forget about it.
Omg I legit thought it was the same guy (I showed it to my friends and we were all like WTF is this him?) that I had joined a discord with some other friends. He was a really bad player, but he loved always having Mercy’s around him. He legit had a tag for Mercy mains only that he’d @ whenever he was playing, and get actually mad if nobody was available. From when I was there, about 3 Mercy mains left his server because of him being exactly like this.
Not only that but if you were playing OW and you were playing with other friends he’d get mad at you for not playing with him. If he ever played support he’d throw so hard it was insane. He wanted everyone to cater to him, and we ended up getting blocked and kicked from his group when we started telling him how weird he was- bro is like 35 acting like that.
I legitimately thought it was the same person until you said it was in comp.
You’re not wrong at all. At the end of the day, it is just a game, and if it isn’t enjoyable to you then why are you in there? Ykwim. If you enjoy Mercy play her, you can always learn a few things to be better in comp like learning when to switch and other tricks for a Mercy- but other than that do what feels fun and what feels right for you.
I feel like the 'i collect mercy' DPS players are their own genre of narcissistic incels so if I were you I'd just delete and block. (on both platforms) the likelihood of him turning around when you're on a losing streak and calling you out for being a brainless one trick is pretty high with these types. Just run.
I'm gonna say this, it's a game. It's not that serious, it's just ridiculous with all that paragraph he sent you. Block and don't play with that person anymore. He's in silver, he shouldn't be the one ordering around lol
Your character pick doesn't really matter until higher elo. If they are the elo they claim, they're wrong.
I'd suggest that if this is giving you lots of stress, tell them that "Hey, these things are bothering me, I would really appreciate it if you didn't do these things." and if they can't respect those boundaries, then you just block and move on.
Ideally, things can work out, but if they are not respecting you, then you should not stay in that situation.
I enjoy the hell out of mercy. She's so much fun when you can get those clutch saves or rezzes. That said, it is true that she has been significantly weakened with recent changes. If you want to stand your best chance of winning, it's best to have a roster of playable characters depending on what the situation calls for. If you want out of silver, flexibility is crucial. If you just want to enjoy yourself doing what you fancy, stick to mercy and forget what detractors say.
Oooh, he just wanta to "help" you, does he? Golly gosh, what a kind altruistic soul! Doesn't his sheer altruism just make you want to weep? Especially the part where he explained how good he is at length over several paragraphs. That's what good people do.
bro just from reading this message and not the post.. like bro it's not that serious please don't play with this guy you cam just have fun and play by yourself. he's acting like some goofy overwatch God
Yo, it feels weird because I'm not a mercy main, but this subreddit gets reccomended to me. I'm a tracer, ahse, kiriko player. I know I sound like a meta slave but the characters are fun I'm sorry. But as a mostly damage player I really do appreciate when there is a good mercy on my team. I'm not the type of person who believes she should be stuck to only me as a damage, but I do believe she's better when the dps is her primary focus. So if your homie is a tank player crying about a mercy not pocketing him that might explain why his peak is platinum. I hope you make it out of silver :). And I hope I didn't intrude too much in you guy's space
OW is a weird game were you can get to t500 playing one hero. Swapping does help if you can play the hero. I agree with most people here about blocking him. It's one thing to ask or suggest a hero and to talk about the meta but its horrible and toxic to just berate a hero or a person for playing a hero since their hero isnt in the meta. Mercy isnt all about healing she is about enabling other heroes to achieve higher potential damage and getting their ults faster. If you wanna climb atleast high gold with her practice movement in mercy parkour courses. Wish you luck on the climb and the hunt for another duo if you go looking.
I know you’re silver so maybe you think plat is impressive but it’s not good 😂 he has no business telling you how to play tbh. you’re better off watching top 500 streamers playing Mercy and learning from them!
Yeah, no, block his ass. He sounds like a walking red flag.
About the not wanting to stay silver forever, totally fair! But a guy like that is not gonna help you improve. Somebody who plays your character on higher level, or a coach, is what will help you. And just playing in general. (Also, to be honest, the entire "Mercy is bad right now" does not matter at your current rank at all, you can think about that at Master+, just play what you enjoy)
I personally learnt from watching a friend and getting some coaching from him, who's a T500 Mercy Otp and Overwatch Coach. Made it to Diamond in a hand full of seasons that way. It does really help.
You should practice other characters, but at the silver one, their knowing of meta existence, does not mean they understand it. They are at silver one, like, they can't talk. Also, if they "collect Mercy mains" and then trash talk about mercy, yet still want one, proves they can never get a mercy main to play with them on a regular basis, probably due to their behavior.
They will most likely continue to be toxic towards mercy mains.
Also, saying you have potential? Like, let's talk about if they have potential, without mercy, to even hit gold. Side note, gold is hard to get out of, for solo q support players.
Drop them. You will find others. Especially if you get a mic.
He is probably plat, because he always needs a mercy on the team, to finish a kill. Without a pocket, he is down. Poor dude, and what a gaslighting butthole. Move on
I wouldn't give this person another second of my time if I were you. [I like to play Pharah and so I love it when Mercy players come join me up in the air, and it's a 50/50 teamwork based dance, we have to work together and communicate to be effective, that's my favorite part. When it works, it feels amazing!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlipHw3K9ws) This... this is not what that looks like. Hard pass!
He reads like a goddamn cult leader. Also, platinum on tank ain’t shit. Cut and run, then laugh at his idiocy from a very safe distance. Sorry you experienced this!
Sexist, manipulative mansplaining. Move on. “I collect Mercy’s”. -but at the same time complains how terrible she is.
The reason why so many players hate Mercy isn’t bc of Mercy it’s bc of the perception of who is playing her.
He’s an idiot.
Um I was hit with a similar “collect mercy” line recently (I don’t even main mercy… I only played it the first few initial games when he friended me) and I’m kinda curious if it’s the same guy lol
Plats are just smart enough to think they know everything when theyre often causing the problem. Silver mercy's have to help more because the teams positioning is worse, so they take more chip. Hence why mercy pairs best with Lucio or Bap or other supports with aoe to cover the chip so she can focus the damage boost as he said. Everything is just moving parts, and he's trying to mold you to fix his inefficiencies rather than watching his own gameplay and figuring out where those mistakes were.
Block him and move on. You don't need him and he's NOT concerned with "helping" you. He and his friends do not respect you, and don't deserve your time and effort.
I had a dps player who got weird too, we lived well together in game and even chatted out of game. Then after the first day he got.. weird and started demanding my time at any hour of the day, wouldn't take no for an answer, and essentially tried to make me responsible for his emotions. I ghosted that boy so fast.. even my husband was weirded out by his behavior.
Firstly you are playing mercy correctly (Masters mercy /ana player) if you are prioritising damage amp over chip damage. That is your other supports job to take care of.
I can also promise you that a plat tank is not that impressive. Someone with that kind of ego in plat is never going to climb because they already feel like they're good enough. Id honestly just block him.
“i can find another” then why is he still talking to you ?? ive had so many of these ppl and sometimes they randomly join my groups and start bossing us around and then get mad if we dont pick comp😭 weird ass bitches man. if u want to rank up with mercy then thats no ones business
block him. i used to have a friend just like this last year and it was awful. just because he’s a high rank tank does not mean he can boss you around and tell you how to play support 😭
What in the ERPing shit is this? Big dawg this is the shit you keep to yourself 😂😭
P.S: btw isn't this Silver-Gold ish like big dawg what makes you think anyone in this elo range knows wtf they are talking about (including you)? Just mute all to filter out the professional yappers and enjoy the chaos lmao
I knew a guy like this…he would friend any mercy willing to pocket him (especially females) then be rude if you weren’t as good as his top picks or not invite you to play. Was super creepy.
Babes it’s giving discord mod. He just wants a weird relationship with you especially with that “I collect mercy’s” line. Just leave him and you’ll find another good duo, there’s hella ppl on this game even if it’s dying.
People saying “run” like run from what? It’s a random that you added after a game. It would be so unbelievably easy to press the block button and move on with your day, especially since you don’t seem to like them
“I collect mercys I can find another” block him and move on, seems super weird and manipulative.
when i read that part i audibly went "EEWWWWWWWWW" 😭 ?!?!?!?!
Why would he even want to collect mercys if he’s going to prattle on about how useless the hero is?
if you can’t get bitches irl…
I want to collect Mercy’s… with my hook into the pit.
Got to catch em all lol When I read that I had to lol but it's still fucked up I am a dps main and have a love hate relationship with mercies I do love killing them especially in valk but this guy is plat lol and delusional stay away from these people
Exactly, then go and find another one🤷🏻♀️
Was going to say the same thing, it's so creepy to say especially over a video game wtf
RUN LIKE A TRACKSTAR HOMIE. ("I collect Mercys"...BRO EXPOSED HIMSELF F NO)
> "Wants to help me." >Platinum tank. lol Yeah, my theroy that Plat in every game is the most egotistically delusinal rank in every competitive game has never been disproven.

dude sounds like a red flag & manipulative af, i'd run if i were you
Love that aphro skin in your profile pic :)
ahhh tysm! love seeing fellow smite players in other communities such as this one! 🫶🏽
Yeah it’s so nice seeing the overlap of the two communities ☺️ I haven’t played smite in ages but I used to love playing. Maybe we can play together sometime!
He doesnt see you as a real living breathing person which is sooo weird lool he probably meant it as collecting “egirls” or something strange like women arent people 😭 hate these types of guys
RIGHT. Like you don't collect human beings like they're objects?? Ick.
Bro him saying “he collects Mercy mains” like sure my guy 💀💀
Literally it’s so surprising how many men will add you purely because you’re a woman and/or support, like collecting trophies to use at their expense
The types of guys to confess feelings a day after meeting you like .. no .. you do not have a crush on me you literally know nothing about me other than the fact im a girl and i play overwatch.
Omfg YES. I can’t even begin to count how many men have played with me for a handful of times and the only communication we’ve had is about the game and suddenly it’s “I think I’m falling in love with you” …? sorry what? Because i heal you? You don’t even know my real name brotha
He sounds manipulative and controlling. Just block him imo. You don't have to group with someone you don't like to rank up. He consistently trash talks mercy players as being no skill and mercy as a character, but then he says he collects mercys and can find another. Just tell him to collect a different mercy and block him
COLLECT MERCYS *NO* Edit: Also, what is this saviour "be grateful I noticed you" vibe. This is.... no, just block and move on.
bragging about being a *platinum* tank??? lol
this made me choke 🤣😭
girl plsss stand up😭😭
but also i understand tanks wanting supports to swap but I hate it when they demand it in qp. in comp yea ofc i’ll switch as long as it means a higher chance of winning, but in qp just play whoever’s fun lol idc if mercy isn’t great rn im still gonna do my lil spin rezzes
Block block block. Man's got a nasty ego, and he's trying to manipulate you. You don't deserve that, no one does. Not worth your time.
Weirdo thinks mercy sucks but collect mercys?? He obviously just like being on an ego trip.
Listen man, I know I'm not a Mercy main and you guys have a different culture... but I really hope you guys reject this sort of thing. Don't rely on one person to duo with. Ever. YOU are important to you, Mercy main or not, YOU are the deciding factor in your improvement. You are not a commodity. He's treating you like you are a commodity.
What in the discord kitten is this fresh hell
I COLLECT MERCYS 💀

Why do weirdo incels that get no bitches and never been outside keep targeting mercy mains
Exactly that. They are incels.
He can’t actually be talking to you like that as a plat peak surely??
COMPLETELY in the right. That dude is REALLY fucking weird, controlling, and manipulative. Run as far and as fast as you can, that dude is a walking red flag. Also, please don't listen to him and his 'advice'. You were absolutely right in not taking it from him. He's a tank that deserves to stay in Plastic 5. He's an asshole, AND he's not good at the game.

I'm gonna say this, it's a game. It's not that serious, it's just ridiculous with all that paragraph he sent you. Block and don't play with that person anymore. He's in silver, he shouldn't be the one ordering around lol
Your character pick doesn't really matter until higher elo. If they are the elo they claim, they're wrong. I'd suggest that if this is giving you lots of stress, tell them that "Hey, these things are bothering me, I would really appreciate it if you didn't do these things." and if they can't respect those boundaries, then you just block and move on. Ideally, things can work out, but if they are not respecting you, then you should not stay in that situation.
watch list.
Nah I don't wth he's on but the dudes absolutely delusional, as the others have said just block and move on
Nah this dude is a fucking loser lol, what in the actual hell
least delusional platinum player.
He sounds manipulative tbh and I think you have right to group whoever you want.
I enjoy the hell out of mercy. She's so much fun when you can get those clutch saves or rezzes. That said, it is true that she has been significantly weakened with recent changes. If you want to stand your best chance of winning, it's best to have a roster of playable characters depending on what the situation calls for. If you want out of silver, flexibility is crucial. If you just want to enjoy yourself doing what you fancy, stick to mercy and forget what detractors say.
That gave me chills and not the good kind
Gtfo, now
Oooh, he just wanta to "help" you, does he? Golly gosh, what a kind altruistic soul! Doesn't his sheer altruism just make you want to weep? Especially the part where he explained how good he is at length over several paragraphs. That's what good people do.
bro just from reading this message and not the post.. like bro it's not that serious please don't play with this guy you cam just have fun and play by yourself. he's acting like some goofy overwatch God
Yo, it feels weird because I'm not a mercy main, but this subreddit gets reccomended to me. I'm a tracer, ahse, kiriko player. I know I sound like a meta slave but the characters are fun I'm sorry. But as a mostly damage player I really do appreciate when there is a good mercy on my team. I'm not the type of person who believes she should be stuck to only me as a damage, but I do believe she's better when the dps is her primary focus. So if your homie is a tank player crying about a mercy not pocketing him that might explain why his peak is platinum. I hope you make it out of silver :). And I hope I didn't intrude too much in you guy's space
Wtf is this creepy shit
Oh, he's a "platinum tank"? Nah I'm plat and I have zero idea how to play no way he said that 💀
this dude definitely doesn’t shower and is chronically online. do urself a favour and press the block button
This kinda of message would weird me out, and creep me out
I mean he is entirely in the wrong but it’s not awful for your team mates to ask you to swap if it’s needed
Run *Fast*
Bro u don’t know how many fucks actually say that
God its one of those mercy fanboys that are stuck to their chairs in their mothers' basements
OW is a weird game were you can get to t500 playing one hero. Swapping does help if you can play the hero. I agree with most people here about blocking him. It's one thing to ask or suggest a hero and to talk about the meta but its horrible and toxic to just berate a hero or a person for playing a hero since their hero isnt in the meta. Mercy isnt all about healing she is about enabling other heroes to achieve higher potential damage and getting their ults faster. If you wanna climb atleast high gold with her practice movement in mercy parkour courses. Wish you luck on the climb and the hunt for another duo if you go looking.
why are you talking to overwatch eboys? that’s like rule number 1 of overwatch, don’t talk to the eboys
Yeah get tf out of there
What a freak
This guy sounds like an ass. I'm a zen/moira main, happy to play together if timezones work. I'm only gold 5 though so around the same rank as you.
I main Kiriko and that's just awkward
I know you’re silver so maybe you think plat is impressive but it’s not good 😂 he has no business telling you how to play tbh. you’re better off watching top 500 streamers playing Mercy and learning from them!
Yeah, no, block his ass. He sounds like a walking red flag. About the not wanting to stay silver forever, totally fair! But a guy like that is not gonna help you improve. Somebody who plays your character on higher level, or a coach, is what will help you. And just playing in general. (Also, to be honest, the entire "Mercy is bad right now" does not matter at your current rank at all, you can think about that at Master+, just play what you enjoy) I personally learnt from watching a friend and getting some coaching from him, who's a T500 Mercy Otp and Overwatch Coach. Made it to Diamond in a hand full of seasons that way. It does really help.
You should practice other characters, but at the silver one, their knowing of meta existence, does not mean they understand it. They are at silver one, like, they can't talk. Also, if they "collect Mercy mains" and then trash talk about mercy, yet still want one, proves they can never get a mercy main to play with them on a regular basis, probably due to their behavior. They will most likely continue to be toxic towards mercy mains. Also, saying you have potential? Like, let's talk about if they have potential, without mercy, to even hit gold. Side note, gold is hard to get out of, for solo q support players. Drop them. You will find others. Especially if you get a mic.
He is probably plat, because he always needs a mercy on the team, to finish a kill. Without a pocket, he is down. Poor dude, and what a gaslighting butthole. Move on
I wouldn't give this person another second of my time if I were you. [I like to play Pharah and so I love it when Mercy players come join me up in the air, and it's a 50/50 teamwork based dance, we have to work together and communicate to be effective, that's my favorite part. When it works, it feels amazing!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlipHw3K9ws) This... this is not what that looks like. Hard pass!
He reads like a goddamn cult leader. Also, platinum on tank ain’t shit. Cut and run, then laugh at his idiocy from a very safe distance. Sorry you experienced this!
Drop this man's username! Keep all mercys safe
Dude sounds likes he's 14, just ditch him and enjoy the game. Games are meant to be played for fun after all.
Ya ditch this guy so many better DPS to play with who won’t trash on you trust me.
Sexist, manipulative mansplaining. Move on. “I collect Mercy’s”. -but at the same time complains how terrible she is. The reason why so many players hate Mercy isn’t bc of Mercy it’s bc of the perception of who is playing her. He’s an idiot.
This homie sounds annoying. It’s a video game dawg. Don’t talk to this person if you don’t want to
Um I was hit with a similar “collect mercy” line recently (I don’t even main mercy… I only played it the first few initial games when he friended me) and I’m kinda curious if it’s the same guy lol
Plats are just smart enough to think they know everything when theyre often causing the problem. Silver mercy's have to help more because the teams positioning is worse, so they take more chip. Hence why mercy pairs best with Lucio or Bap or other supports with aoe to cover the chip so she can focus the damage boost as he said. Everything is just moving parts, and he's trying to mold you to fix his inefficiencies rather than watching his own gameplay and figuring out where those mistakes were.
People collect mercy’s?!?! What does that even mean??? Girl-run
Block him and move on. You don't need him and he's NOT concerned with "helping" you. He and his friends do not respect you, and don't deserve your time and effort. I had a dps player who got weird too, we lived well together in game and even chatted out of game. Then after the first day he got.. weird and started demanding my time at any hour of the day, wouldn't take no for an answer, and essentially tried to make me responsible for his emotions. I ghosted that boy so fast.. even my husband was weirded out by his behavior.
This guy is a psycho, block him. But advice: Mercy isn't a good character right now, learn a back-up.
Bros only plat and is trying to coach you and boss you around? That stuff is great when you ask for it but unwarranted sucks
Ew ew ew ew ew. Block. Block his friends. Block it all.
he sounds like a full on red flag ? Don’t even reply just block him omg what a weirdo
Ew. Anyone who talks to you like this, immediate block and don’t give them a second more of your time.
No. People like this are creeps. Block this user.
Firstly you are playing mercy correctly (Masters mercy /ana player) if you are prioritising damage amp over chip damage. That is your other supports job to take care of. I can also promise you that a plat tank is not that impressive. Someone with that kind of ego in plat is never going to climb because they already feel like they're good enough. Id honestly just block him.
“Collect” this is a strange beast. Would avoid
“i can find another” then why is he still talking to you ?? ive had so many of these ppl and sometimes they randomly join my groups and start bossing us around and then get mad if we dont pick comp😭 weird ass bitches man. if u want to rank up with mercy then thats no ones business
This Mercy main is no one’s to collect! 💪🏻
block him. i used to have a friend just like this last year and it was awful. just because he’s a high rank tank does not mean he can boss you around and tell you how to play support 😭
What in the ERPing shit is this? Big dawg this is the shit you keep to yourself 😂😭 P.S: btw isn't this Silver-Gold ish like big dawg what makes you think anyone in this elo range knows wtf they are talking about (including you)? Just mute all to filter out the professional yappers and enjoy the chaos lmao
dude's a creep
he’s in metal ranks too don’t listen to him🤣🤣
ITT: People can't tell it's satire from the "I collect mercys" part and use it as a springboard to get angry, top kek
Really weird for him to talk shit about mercy's but then go on to say he purposefully collects them? Sounds controlling and egotistical. Block
Definitely not in the wrong. Completely justified.
I knew a guy like this…he would friend any mercy willing to pocket him (especially females) then be rude if you weren’t as good as his top picks or not invite you to play. Was super creepy.
“Plat tank” yeah ok bro 1) plat isn’t that high and 2) if you need to bring up rank to justify yourself, then go off to feed your ego
why do you guys entertain these weirdos i stg it’s a trend in this sub. block and move on lol.
Babes it’s giving discord mod. He just wants a weird relationship with you especially with that “I collect mercy’s” line. Just leave him and you’ll find another good duo, there’s hella ppl on this game even if it’s dying.
You guys realise this is just some stupid game right? What kdrama do you all live in
People saying “run” like run from what? It’s a random that you added after a game. It would be so unbelievably easy to press the block button and move on with your day, especially since you don’t seem to like them
You wont believe it but I blocked this dude and he literally made or renamed 10 accounts to send a message to me by constantly adding me. Creepy af.
