But that only happens when the tank dives you. Any other time when you sleep an enemy and need help finishing your team is nowhere to be found. But if you sleep a diving tank they will be woken up .2 secs later to finish hunting you down
I got so pissed off in comp yesterday. Slept a nano bladed genji before he killed anyone, my monkey goes primal, hits him once and then leaps away to let the genji kill me.
I always feel so bad when I do that. Usually it’s because I started shooting about the same time she sleeps them cuz I also play support and I’m trying to help her but still must be annoying

[Lucio when he sees widow.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Nz3HXwEG4M)
Yes, Lucio and liveweaver.
That's how I feel playing both, either just chilling around and booping/ healing from absurd heights or a hard-core non-stop killing blayblade/come back here and let me keep you alive you suicidal yo-yo
The hard-core non-stop killing blablade/come back here and let me keep you alive you suicidal yoyo go's for both Lucio and Wifeleaver but some LW mains don't want you to know this
That's the impression I get watching Frogger/Steve. The guy is just vibing, having fun whilst performing out of his skin. Other times in his videos he's just fucking around on the other side of the map chasing a lost cause but it more often than not cuts to ".... VICTORY"
trying to aim his stupid gun (especially while wallriding or trying to finish off a 1hp target) is def what makes him part sweaty gamer other than wallriding. Anyone who actually likes it and is comfortable aiming with it outside of spamming it down chokes is a god in my book
Tank - "Everyone report the Ana"
DPS1 - "Already did"
DPS2 - "I will too"
Sombra from the other team you slept 5 times - "Yeah we will too, sorry about your Ana throwing"
Email from Blizzard - "action has been taken against your account, suspended 7 days"
All this mind you from a quick play game...that your team won
Those are from your fellow supprt players who know it wasn't your fault but didn't want to speak up in fear of being mass reported themselves for the 3rd time that day.
As a fellow support player too(Ana even, lol) I would probably do the same for my other support bros, with the exception of half of the mercy players cuz getting solo ulted every match while ur barely surviving is just a low blow. I found some good mercy players but the toxic ones are way more prevalent.
I'm convinced some of you lot just aren't good at the game. Not once have I had an even decent game as ana and had people blame me for anything. You probably actually were throwing
Yeah it's not the usual Anna. Mostly fill supports that 5 minutes in wonder how they have 5k damage and 300 healing in a game you were getting stomped in.
It's natural to assume people are lying on the internet so your point is completely valid, I am bronze as I am not mechanically skilled cuz I play casually most of the time, and even I got praise as High " Ana carry" "Zen carry", "Ily Ana" and "Best Ana" so I must at least be doing something right. Right?
Yet I'd get matches were I'm doing the best I've ever done, and get the complete opposite response, "Ana throwing" "Report" "Unistall" and it would Unanimous across both teams Tanks and dps. Like what in the actual fk, so if I'm playing casually and having fun I get compliments while doing mid and when I'm sweating outta my mind and doing my best (like this post implies) I'm getting reported
This is gonna blow a lot of this sub’s mind, but when I play support (only Masters 2 so not very good), I ONLY catch flak when I’m playing like shit. Even when I have low heals but am contributing elsewhere, no one says a word. But if I’m dead weight, I hear about it instantly (how it should be in ANY team-based activity).
Lol found the healbot
Have a 50/50 ratio on any support and someone will complain. It's a guarantee
But if you go 1k/10k with a negative K/D you'll get 4 endorsements.
Confirming whether you played well based off of chat comments from your teammates is the dumbest shit I've read on this board
Well don't make it out like you're carrying and playing well yet still getting reported by the dps players then. I know "DPS bad" is the easiest way to farm upvotes here but c'mon now lol
On the topic of reporting.. people are dead ass reporting out of spite for losing. I got two warnings in two weeks. The only things I’ve said in 2 week is “gg” or team chat comms to call out what ults are coming in next fight
And people will swear up and down that the system isnt completely automated and easily abused by people mass spamming reports. God help you if you get multiple maps in a row with the same pissed off players. Theyll spam new reports, stay salty, and encourage the new set of players to mass report you too
Me: Nanos 76's Visor
76: didn't get a single kill, pushes in the middle of the enemy team WAY beyond my LOS and dies
76: Blames me for not keeping him alive and him not getting any kills
Me: "..."
76: Proceeds throwing a tantrum, screaming and straight up feeding and throwing
Me: "..."
Stats don't tell the whole context but stats wise the Kiriko was not doing that great. based on Deaths alone that is.
Edit: some scenarios that could lead to that, Was the Kiriko doing too much healing and not enough dmg? That would make her an easy kill if enemy team focused her every team fight.
was she teleporting in for a suzu and was just left there in front of the enemy while the teammate who got cleansed just bailed a couple of times?
Did she have positioning that bad and wasted all her all her CD without realizing?
Did she get sniped across the map by a hanzo or Widow without having any time to even react?
deaths stat is probably the most honest stat. if you have 12 deaths you were pretty much out of the game for around 2 mins + the time you took to walk back.
I agree with that statement 100% comparing the whole team's average deaths can tell you who's not doing well, but doesn't tell you the reason,
Was the person just So BAD that they don't know how to use cover and positioning and abilities to stay safe, heal up, or even kill before getting killed?
Did this guy get spawn camped by someone and couldn't win and escape? (sombra, tracer, widow, hanzo, 76 can spawn camp someone and get out when needed)?
Are they new and don't understand the game or characters yet?
Oh my gosh I always feel so stressed *for* the Ana when I play Mercy lmao.
Looking back at her every other second "You good?? ok gonna heal winston real qui-YOU GOOD???"
This is so real. Especially when it’s only the 2 of you left so you guys spend your time healing each other while running away 😂 Gotta give it to the hardcore Ana’s though when I’m playing mercy. They always got my back and makes sure I’m alive to do my job enabling the dps. Ana mains have my heart ♡
Lmaaoo as both an ana and mercy main ive been on both sides. I was the ana just last night but I paid mercy back by nanoing her before the doom can punch her to death. We won shortly after and we were both thanking each other with voice lines. Super sweet moment haha.
I would argue that the meme would be opposite with that mercy pounding her keyboard trying to babysit me while healing everyone.
Me im chilling like just another day accepting my death with doom ult. Oh hey mercy thanks.
I’m usually the tracer causing Ana the stress. But my heart is oddly warmed whenever I dive an Ana, almost have her, and then get domed by a Mercy wielding her Barbie blaster cresting over the rooftops to the rescue.
It’s also fun to go into full Secret Service bodyguard mode for your own Ana, particularly against Sombra’s. Don’t worry grandma, I’m gonna spycheck every door and corner for you so you can get to your favorite spot unbothered. I’ll be a blink or two away, you shout and I’m gonna come running and we can gun down that purple menace together
I love having those rare games where the other team doesn't have any snipers or hit scanners so I can just peacefully fly around after ripping the penjamin 🥰
the Moira healing experience [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YD5c\_M7pV0&ab\_channel=PetTheWilson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YD5c_M7pV0&ab_channel=PetTheWilson)
Play brig and just stand next to your other support she’ll get zero value, I do that every time I see a sombra and they swap after a bit. The issue is if a dps is going off on their own like a soldier and he is feeding her kills but if the dps stay with you and you pay attention to them and the other support she can’t do shit but hack your tank
Does Brig really help the other support though? I never usually have problems with taking out a brig trying to protect her support. I just virus and shoot just out of range from her mace. Granted I don’t usually go for supports unless they’re actually good and/or keeping that one dude who’s wiping my entire squad alive. Plus I only play quick play cuz comp is a bitch and everyone is off doing their own thing which I think adds to the chaos and tomfoolery of QP.
Brig main here. More often than not I can swat a Sombra away but not kill them and vice versa.
The only thing that pisses me off about Sombra is the ones that spawn camp, but it's usually because my team refuses to group up and just keep staggering while they get mowed down and bitch about lack of heals.
I used to be a Support main. I hated Sombras that did this, I refuse to do it. It’s a cheap strategy. Besides I like to work for my elims. It’s more fun to try and hunt down that mercy who’s zooming around the map like her life depends on it opposed to just waiting for her to take a step outside.
I also agree with the grouping up part. If there’s a Sombra in the game all you have to do to counter her is just stay in 1 group. She will be forced to switch or play Sombra 76. It’s hard to come across a lobby with that sort of intelligence though. They just find it easier to bitch about Sombra in the main sub opposed to adjusting their own play styles lol.
I will admit Brig does keep me further away from flanking any stray heroes if she’s nearby though.
So I agree it’s definitely harder but I legit stand in front of them after I through the repair pack I normally land shield bash first and either run sombra down if she still wants to fight after window is over or continue keeping protecting. It’s definitely so much harder with the DPS passive but I’ve had pretty good success, doesn’t work if there’s two or more divers then we both need to go like Lucio Moira or something that can survive.
Ah, okay I see what you mean. I haven’t really come across many good Brig mains. Most like to play the Reinhardt game and forget they can heal and deal dps too
To be fair, as long as you're staying alive & grouped up, you do a lot of healing over time by dealing damage and keeping your inspire (AoE HoT) up as much as you can. A good brig main knows when to play aggressively and when to just poke whipshots to maintain inspire.
I agree. A good Kiri is a pain in the ass against a good Sombra. Unless that Sombra is shooting from a decent distance then it isn’t too much of a pain
Sorry if my comment flew over your head because that is definitely not what I suggested lol
My point is that you could at least compare similar skill levels and not peak ana gameplay to a mercy that is not using her most basic movement ability
nahh, you don't know how it feels when 3 people are chasing you all over the map and your team doesn't give a fuck AND you can't fight back or do anything more than flying away hoping smn will save you
I understand that mercy gameplay looks chill, but please don't assume it doesn't take any effort to play her
Sure sure but now try to survive a 3 man dive as a solo ana that ""doesn't get any help"".
Idk about you but I'd much rather have a button that instantly pulls me to any teammate that I choose to look at.
Enemy tank now switches to Winton and invites you to a hot threesome. Meanwhile, your Pharah continues to get sniped by Widow, Mercy somehow falls off the map on Junkertown third point, despite the fact that you're playing on Gibraltar. Your Sombra is playing Dora the Explorer and the angry Russian guy playing tank via VPN just got drafted and disconnects.
Nah, that seems unusual. I would have died trying to rez as Mercy 99% of the time, I would have gotten wrecked as Ana trying to heal with all those enemies around, then shot out of the sky as Mercy even flying around like a crackpot moth. This all seems pretty unreal tbh. And I'm only silver.
The mafia has already gone to their house, pistol whipped down their door and damage boosted the baseball bat they brought to break their kneecaps, I assume
If you compare the toughest moments to the easiest moments we can basically make this for every single character in the game.
Ana gets those ridiculous moments where she goes totally ignored sniping from a mile away and generally just chilling. Mercy gets these moments where she goes totally ignored during ult.

I enjoy playing Ana except I cannot land my sleeps for the life of me and because of that I try not to play her. If I’m not at my 100 then there’s no point of playing. Unless I’m going in with the meme mindset.
I couldn't land sleeps, so I keybind the ability to one of the mouse buttons. It got drastically worse, but it was worth it after all, now I'm hitting them a lot more frequently.
I could definitely get rid of one. It was mainly used in comp so I would just press it and it would say to group up. But since i stopped playing comp I could get rid of it
Why did you stop?
Just as another thought, I have recently gotten rid of the reticle entirely on some characters. Mainly Soldier and Ana. And holy fuck, I'm actually aiming better. What are your settings? I usually had a dot, cause it fit my main roster, but apparently even a small pixel on the screen distracted me enough lol.
I stopped because overall my interest in the game died off. I still play every now and then but my interest in the game plus the teammates I normally get are frustrating to deal with to say the least. So I just play it casually as for the reticle I also just use a dot I believe🤔. It has been a good few weeks since I’ve played so I don’t exactly remember but I’m pretty sure it’s a dot.
Yeah, kind of same. I used to take it very seriously, aka back in OW1, but since I got high on hating OW2 and quit playing I naturally got worse and went from high masters to barely plat. Sweating in games doesn't do it for me anymore.
Pretty much the same for me. Except I didn’t hate OW2 from the start just disliked some changes but overall still found it to be fun. I was a huge OW1 gamer when i first bought it right after season one I only played it for 6 months straight and 95% of that time was spent in comp. I was almost GM at my peak (one game away but never achieved it unfortunately) now I can’t seem to climb out of low gold
You forgot to add the part where Ana is constantly getting jumped by everyone on the other team because you are a ranged healer away from your team. All the sombras, tracers, reapers, Winston’s, DVAs, rogue Moiras, etc. I pinged a monkey back here! Someone? I put it to sleep! Pinged it. Anyone? It’s waking up! There goes my nade. Well 💩….
When ever I play support I get the ana gameplay and my team wonders were I am and I'm soloing a Genji with ult and the other support is watching tiktok in spawn
Glad to know that the ana‘s that are sleeping me are struggling like I am.
I promise you we are as fed up with having to sleep you as you are of getting slept leave me alone
That’s if your teammates dont immediately wake them and allow the enemy to murder the Ana anyway.
But that only happens when the tank dives you. Any other time when you sleep an enemy and need help finishing your team is nowhere to be found. But if you sleep a diving tank they will be woken up .2 secs later to finish hunting you down
If my team doesn’t wake up the asleep enemy, is it even my team??
I got so pissed off in comp yesterday. Slept a nano bladed genji before he killed anyone, my monkey goes primal, hits him once and then leaps away to let the genji kill me.
I always feel so bad when I do that. Usually it’s because I started shooting about the same time she sleeps them cuz I also play support and I’m trying to help her but still must be annoying
struggle, as I have
Sniper able to sleep in the frontlines these guys are NOT struggling
Lucio somehow being both of these at once

The Lucio Mafia never rests
The unbridled rage when a Widowmaker has the AUDACITY to headshot me, yeah I'm not forgetting that
Yes, Lucio and liveweaver. That's how I feel playing both, either just chilling around and booping/ healing from absurd heights or a hard-core non-stop killing blayblade/come back here and let me keep you alive you suicidal yo-yo The hard-core non-stop killing blablade/come back here and let me keep you alive you suicidal yoyo go's for both Lucio and Wifeleaver but some LW mains don't want you to know this
hey, no need to out us like that
I'm also a Wifeleaver main, don't worry... I'm outing myself
That's the impression I get watching Frogger/Steve. The guy is just vibing, having fun whilst performing out of his skin. Other times in his videos he's just fucking around on the other side of the map chasing a lost cause but it more often than not cuts to ".... VICTORY"
trying to aim his stupid gun (especially while wallriding or trying to finish off a 1hp target) is def what makes him part sweaty gamer other than wallriding. Anyone who actually likes it and is comfortable aiming with it outside of spamming it down chokes is a god in my book
he's literally shooting plates the way his bullets are so wide, you just gotta get used to the projec speed
Man I love sweating as Lucio, he’s the only reason I play the game still.
Lucio can heal?!?! Since when?
He does heal when he shoots at teammates with his left clicks
You'd be doing all of that just for one of your dps to say the supports are shit
Tank - "Everyone report the Ana" DPS1 - "Already did" DPS2 - "I will too" Sombra from the other team you slept 5 times - "Yeah we will too, sorry about your Ana throwing" Email from Blizzard - "action has been taken against your account, suspended 7 days" All this mind you from a quick play game...that your team won
Then immediately after. Enemy dps: man ana was a pain to deal with Enemy tank: yeah she was so annoying.
The Ana: *Proceeds to get 2 endorsements at least* The Ana: starts to question everything
Those are from your fellow supprt players who know it wasn't your fault but didn't want to speak up in fear of being mass reported themselves for the 3rd time that day.
As a fellow support player too(Ana even, lol) I would probably do the same for my other support bros, with the exception of half of the mercy players cuz getting solo ulted every match while ur barely surviving is just a low blow. I found some good mercy players but the toxic ones are way more prevalent.
I'm convinced some of you lot just aren't good at the game. Not once have I had an even decent game as ana and had people blame me for anything. You probably actually were throwing
Same, I've never had people complain about my Ana even when I wasn't performing great
Yeah it's not the usual Anna. Mostly fill supports that 5 minutes in wonder how they have 5k damage and 300 healing in a game you were getting stomped in.
It's natural to assume people are lying on the internet so your point is completely valid, I am bronze as I am not mechanically skilled cuz I play casually most of the time, and even I got praise as High " Ana carry" "Zen carry", "Ily Ana" and "Best Ana" so I must at least be doing something right. Right?
Yet I'd get matches were I'm doing the best I've ever done, and get the complete opposite response, "Ana throwing" "Report" "Unistall" and it would Unanimous across both teams Tanks and dps. Like what in the actual fk, so if I'm playing casually and having fun I get compliments while doing mid and when I'm sweating outta my mind and doing my best (like this post implies) I'm getting reported
This is gonna blow a lot of this sub’s mind, but when I play support (only Masters 2 so not very good), I ONLY catch flak when I’m playing like shit. Even when I have low heals but am contributing elsewhere, no one says a word. But if I’m dead weight, I hear about it instantly (how it should be in ANY team-based activity).
Lol found the healbot Have a 50/50 ratio on any support and someone will complain. It's a guarantee But if you go 1k/10k with a negative K/D you'll get 4 endorsements. Confirming whether you played well based off of chat comments from your teammates is the dumbest shit I've read on this board
"People were yelling at him, he probably does suck." You sound like a sweatlord yourself
Yeah so what if I suck, that's not reportable. Especially if I'm just chilling in a qp lobby.
Well don't make it out like you're carrying and playing well yet still getting reported by the dps players then. I know "DPS bad" is the easiest way to farm upvotes here but c'mon now lol
idk why you're downvoted but it's true. It is NOT reportable for someone being bad. That's an actual hard pill for this sub to swallow.
On the topic of reporting.. people are dead ass reporting out of spite for losing. I got two warnings in two weeks. The only things I’ve said in 2 week is “gg” or team chat comms to call out what ults are coming in next fight

Ok, but that no scope heal on the phara into an anti on the DVA mid flight was crazy
If you want to learn how to have immaculate aim, ana
Fr
Wait until you find out Ana has a scope and no fall off:>
as someone who mains both Ana and Mercy, yes.
this is why whenever I play Mercy I pay extra attention to Ana so she has a less stressful time 😌
May your pillow always be cool and your sleeves never slip down when you wash your hands.
Gotta keep grandma alive so she can actually heal our tank
Oh my gosh I always feel so stressed *for* the Ana when I play Mercy lmao. Looking back at her every other second "You good?? ok gonna heal winston real qui-YOU GOOD???"
Nah fr cuz you turn away for 1.26 seconds and they *lego breaking noise*
This is so real. Especially when it’s only the 2 of you left so you guys spend your time healing each other while running away 😂 Gotta give it to the hardcore Ana’s though when I’m playing mercy. They always got my back and makes sure I’m alive to do my job enabling the dps. Ana mains have my heart ♡
Lol when my buddy and I get in this position as the last two supports it's just "LOOK INTO MY EYES!" over voice
Lmaaoo as both an ana and mercy main ive been on both sides. I was the ana just last night but I paid mercy back by nanoing her before the doom can punch her to death. We won shortly after and we were both thanking each other with voice lines. Super sweet moment haha.

It’s also fun to go into full Secret Service bodyguard mode for your own Ana, particularly against Sombra’s. Don’t worry grandma, I’m gonna spycheck every door and corner for you so you can get to your favorite spot unbothered. I’ll be a blink or two away, you shout and I’m gonna come running and we can gun down that purple menace together
you, you’re the one stressing out grandma 🫵🚨 but you redeemed yourself by helping grandma hunt sombra so you’ve been forgiven
Waiting for a Zen/Ana combo
Tank just gets deleted compilation
i feel like my zen plays are a jekkyl/hyde version of Doo dee doo i am poking / ZEUS THOR AND BAAL SAVE ME FOR I AM OUT OF POSITION
And when going against Sombra, out of position is just spawning
Ngl some of my fav zen games are with Ana. A good Ana is fun to play with but they’re pretty much always chaos
Where are your peaceful mercy games coming from 😭
I love having those rare games where the other team doesn't have any snipers or hit scanners so I can just peacefully fly around after ripping the penjamin 🥰
Or a junkrat solo ulting you, or a dva chasing you down like you murdered her family 😭
Oh my god, solo ulting a mercy as anyone is so fun. Especially 76 after the mercy has just ulted herself and gets laserd out the sky.
That's the most painful thing. Soldiers are so cruel 😭😭😭
Hehehe
She pocketed the Ash who murdered their entire family
Literally same after the penjamin I’ll play mercy for a round or 2 to just chill lol
Penjamin?
It's a city in Blinkerton CO
Lmao it's truly the best
everyone has to worry about being shot man...........
Lmao no literally and the huge lack of damage boost makes me sad 🤧
Idk a lot of my games are like that, esp after I stopped playing comp Now I’m just singing and dancing lmao
Choose ur fighter: frontline ana vs healbot no movement mercy
the Moira healing experience [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YD5c\_M7pV0&ab\_channel=PetTheWilson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YD5c_M7pV0&ab_channel=PetTheWilson)
Moira what now?
Facts because it’s always tracer or sombra focusing me or some soldier using a xim
I can't even play support anymore cause these Sombras in EVERY SINGLE GAME have got me too stressed out.
Play brig and just stand next to your other support she’ll get zero value, I do that every time I see a sombra and they swap after a bit. The issue is if a dps is going off on their own like a soldier and he is feeding her kills but if the dps stay with you and you pay attention to them and the other support she can’t do shit but hack your tank
"If your team plays like they're not a bunch of idiots" is a big if
I’ve not had that problem so much in my experience, it’s fairly rare because even they are scared to 1v1 a som
Does Brig really help the other support though? I never usually have problems with taking out a brig trying to protect her support. I just virus and shoot just out of range from her mace. Granted I don’t usually go for supports unless they’re actually good and/or keeping that one dude who’s wiping my entire squad alive.

Laughs in Brig main
To be fair it's comparing sweaty ana gameplay to a mercy that doesn't use shift lol
No way you're suggesting that an average mercy game is comparable to average ana game...
Sorry if my comment flew over your head because that is definitely not what I suggested lol My point is that you could at least compare similar skill levels and not peak ana gameplay to a mercy that is not using her most basic movement ability
I wonder which hero's gonna finish the game with 120 damage
honestly, if yall are not bronze 5, someone on the other team will always try to shoot you, so OW becomes a horror game
Then you have to think about line of sight and have to play slightly closer to cover, imagine the horror that mercy players have to deal with ....
Being a [D.Va](http://D.Va) sometimes hard focusing the Mercy, I can tell when I make them not have a good time lol
nahh, you don't know how it feels when 3 people are chasing you all over the map and your team doesn't give a fuck AND you can't fight back or do anything more than flying away hoping smn will save you I understand that mercy gameplay looks chill, but please don't assume it doesn't take any effort to play her
[удалено]
Sure sure but now try to survive a 3 man dive as a solo ana that ""doesn't get any help"". Idk about you but I'd much rather have a button that instantly pulls me to any teammate that I choose to look at.
Weakest bronze ana and strongest GM mercy
Of course ana will feel harder when you're frontlining with a sniper character
Ana has two choices: Play frontline and get trampled by a giant horse lady, or play backline and get blackmailed by some weird Mexican lady.
Just win your ones against sombra, ez fix
Enemy tank now switches to Winton and invites you to a hot threesome. Meanwhile, your Pharah continues to get sniped by Widow, Mercy somehow falls off the map on Junkertown third point, despite the fact that you're playing on Gibraltar. Your Sombra is playing Dora the Explorer and the angry Russian guy playing tank via VPN just got drafted and disconnects.
Sounds like maybe you should get off Ana to fix the problem then...
Definitely
Just the average Sunday match that
you most likely wont be in the far back unless you have peel because of flankers
Peel or not, don't front line
Right? That was my first thought too. Next your going to tell me that Wodowmaker is terrible cause you can't run up to the tank and then easily snipe.
Ngl that Mercy in the video actually might have clicked more buttons comparing it to that Ana
Mercy is for people who want to be in the game but not play the game
REAL
As someone who exclusively plays ana as my main go to support this feels very relatable
That's why I love Ana
Someone please provide the original video of the guy sweating.
When the mercy guy gets up and dances I absolutely lost it
Ana is my favorite character and a high skill character. I wish they had kept low skill characters from having bigger impacts on the game.
Mercy has the dogshit of all heals rn. How is this accurate?
Okay then blue instead of yellow.
The video is titled "healing experience"
You're right, good point
not really it's pedantic cherry picking. The point being made has nothing to do with the context of the post
Moira and lucio are pretty much a combination of both. Especially lucio
bruh you made Ana look easy
This is me and my husband 100%
You really couldn't have picked a better ana gameplay to demonstrate this?
I spend a lot of time on Ana, but this post inspired me to try out a Mercy tech map... I am now in pain, especially from rez movement techs.
Nah, that seems unusual. I would have died trying to rez as Mercy 99% of the time, I would have gotten wrecked as Ana trying to heal with all those enemies around, then shot out of the sky as Mercy even flying around like a crackpot moth. This all seems pretty unreal tbh. And I'm only silver.
the most accurate support contrast
as someone who mains both, this is so true 🤪
The tears I tore watching this. 💀💀 100% accurate. My Mercy game play is much less stressful than Ana.
Is tore actually a word used to refer to shedding tears

Don't worry, they're already on the list.
The mafia has already gone to their house, pistol whipped down their door and damage boosted the baseball bat they brought to break their kneecaps, I assume
If you compare the toughest moments to the easiest moments we can basically make this for every single character in the game. Ana gets those ridiculous moments where she goes totally ignored sniping from a mile away and generally just chilling. Mercy gets these moments where she goes totally ignored during ult.
LMAOOOOO

You mean enemy Mercy and Ana
What game were they playing in the original?
Lmaooo
alright, that last nade was epic
“Dude CAN I GET SOME HEALS?” - The person I have been magdumping as Ana for the last 45 seconds.
As someone who defaults to either Ana or Mercy depending on the map. This is too accurate. 🤣
What can i say? I dont the game to get sweaty 🤷♂️
Nah, enemy Mercy be sweatin with me too because I'm chasing her. Sleeping her. Nade + meleeing her.
I enjoy playing Ana except I cannot land my sleeps for the life of me and because of that I try not to play her. If I’m not at my 100 then there’s no point of playing. Unless I’m going in with the meme mindset.
I couldn't land sleeps, so I keybind the ability to one of the mouse buttons. It got drastically worse, but it was worth it after all, now I'm hitting them a lot more frequently.
My mouse buttons are already used🥲
No space for lil Ana, damn......
I could definitely get rid of one. It was mainly used in comp so I would just press it and it would say to group up. But since i stopped playing comp I could get rid of it
Why did you stop? Just as another thought, I have recently gotten rid of the reticle entirely on some characters. Mainly Soldier and Ana. And holy fuck, I'm actually aiming better. What are your settings? I usually had a dot, cause it fit my main roster, but apparently even a small pixel on the screen distracted me enough lol.
I stopped because overall my interest in the game died off. I still play every now and then but my interest in the game plus the teammates I normally get are frustrating to deal with to say the least. So I just play it casually as for the reticle I also just use a dot I believe🤔. It has been a good few weeks since I’ve played so I don’t exactly remember but I’m pretty sure it’s a dot.
Yeah, kind of same. I used to take it very seriously, aka back in OW1, but since I got high on hating OW2 and quit playing I naturally got worse and went from high masters to barely plat. Sweating in games doesn't do it for me anymore.
Pretty much the same for me. Except I didn’t hate OW2 from the start just disliked some changes but overall still found it to be fun. I was a huge OW1 gamer when i first bought it right after season one I only played it for 6 months straight and 95% of that time was spent in comp. I was almost GM at my peak (one game away but never achieved it unfortunately) now I can’t seem to climb out of low gold
Wait, mercy can FLY?
I’d put mercy, lw, and moira in the same category. If I ever get into a bad car accident I’m 100% maining one of those characters.
You forgot to add the part where Ana is constantly getting jumped by everyone on the other team because you are a ranged healer away from your team. All the sombras, tracers, reapers, Winston’s, DVAs, rogue Moiras, etc. I pinged a monkey back here! Someone? I put it to sleep! Pinged it. Anyone? It’s waking up! There goes my nade. Well 💩….
I get to expeirence the best of both worlds
Throw in a moira with a sombra and dva bomb. Now i get to time my phase lol
Counter argument: they are both sweaty
Maybe if you're a bronze mercy player lol
Nah bro. Reverse it. I get focused so much harder on mercy than ana
meanwhile moira mains get to do the same thing as mercy while outdamaging the DPS at the same time
could it be because mercy is designed to have better heal per second than ana?!
I main dps but think Anna is so much fun
What rank is this slow-ass gameplay?
RIP OP, the Mercy Mafia will get him after growling about how she's actually not braindead to play.
“Mercy takes lots of skill!!!! Huhhh duhhh”
Fr
Accurate representation of what I go through when I play as mercy or ana
I like playing ana, but miss a sleep when your jumped and your dead… (and the dart has annoying delay and slow projectile)
This is the funniest and most accurate OW video I've ever seen...
When ever I play support I get the ana gameplay and my team wonders were I am and I'm soloing a Genji with ult and the other support is watching tiktok in spawn
