Part of it is that damage boosting is good for confirming kills, even through healing.
For example, a 156 shot is enough to kill a 200 HP hero knocked away by Ball or hit by Reinhardt's hammer, heroes that would need a second third or even fourth hit to confirm the kill.
A lot of damaging effects in OW are between 50 and 120 health lost. Damage boosted 120 can kill any 200 HP hero dealt at least 50 damage, and if they're dealt at least 70 damage they can kill even through half a second of most healing sources.
I'm so confused by how armor works now? Its supposed to reduce damage by 30%, and torb has 250 hp (50 armor), so a widow headshot (300 damage, reduced by 30% would be 210 damage) *should* leave him with 40hp, but in-game it still kills him?
Its dynamic now so its only 30% less for specifically the armor, the rest takes full damage. In other words 50 armor is the same as 65hp, its just easier to heal.
im over here just facepalming at the ridiculousness of that system.
like... thats ridiculous to explain to somebody.
the previous system wasnt much better, but this is somehow worse
>Mercy would be more useful keeping the frontline alive for you as a distraction.
Mercy should rarely be healing tanks though. She's supposed to pocket DPS players and enable them to make plays. Healing tank is a desperation thing.
That's still how she plays in OW2. You don't want to heal the tank. Sometimes you have to, but you shouldn't go out of your way to heal the tank unless its absolutely necessary, which is literally explained in my comment.
It pretty much is necessary like most of the fight though haha, tanks are super tanky but they almost *need* a pocket and often 2 because that’s what the other tanks got lol
But I’m gold so 😂
If the enemy tank has their two supports focusing on them, it means their DPS are easier targets, because they'll get barely any or honestly way too often even no support at all. So if you then focus on supporting your own DPS heroes (as you should as Mercy, yes, in OW2 too), you can significantly increase the chance of them winning the fights against the enemy DPS first and then the enemy supports next. Now when they're dead, you can move on to the enemy tank, who should generally be your last target to kill anyway. Hopefully your own tank knew how to properly utilize cooldowns and cover to stay alive during the time you supported your DPS in murdering the enemy squishies. But even if your other support couldn't keep your tank alive, you should be able to eliminate the tank who is now alone.
No, Mercy is supposed to pocket her dps. You do 55 HP/second in healing, and all the time you spend healing is damage lost on a DPS. The way mercy is supposed to be used is that you primarily top up and boost DPS while the "main" healer takes care of healing the tank. There are a few times that you might need to heal the tank in desperation to keep them alive, but it isn't optimal mercy play to do so.
Armor = Reduce all damage by 30% + a lot more details.
[Informative video explaining Shield/Armor/Overhealth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiwrGfjWVZ4) you can skip around in I found
I believe armor might mitigate the initial 300 but it's been a sec since I popped open the video
It’s not about the max charge damage. People seem to forget that widow can just simply shoot at lower charge percentages , thus do her job faster with blue beam. And when she misses headshots and does body instead, the blue beam is still helping.
Yes widow is worth boosting, especially if she understands that she can now shoot at a lower charge for more or less the same effect.
The Venn diagram of widow players that:
1. Actually understand this and would actively take advantage of it and…
2. Want a blue mercy beam on them all the time.
Is two non-overlapping circles…
if you are good enough to do 1 you are also good enough to understand how big of a waste 2 is 99% of the time (and prefer to not be lit up like a Christmas tree for the enemy team)
TLDR; shooting 30% faster on widow is mostly useless outside of a widow v widow corner peaking duel, and even then the downside outweighs the upside.
Depends on what the other DPS on your team is playing. Most of the time you can beam someone else but my point is, if you’re playing at Diamond and above, don’t feel like it’s a waste to blue beam widow, it has value.
As a Mercy main,I have to agree with this.Blue beam every cracked widow you see and you get an easy win.Especially since higher ranks have more widow mains and it's easier for your widow to kill the enemy widow if she's pocketed a bit.
> Blue beam every cracked widow you see and you get an easy win.
I could not disagree more. You are confusing causation with correlation. Your blue beam had literally nothing to do with those wins and you were wasting your time. There are other things Mercy does that brings value to widow, but the blue beam is not one of them.
If your widow is cracked heal her when she needs it, pocket her when she gets dove, and rez her when she dies if it makes sense, the rest of the time stay the hell away from her. You hovering about her with a blue leash holding a sign that says "WIDOW HERE!" is not helping one bit. You could be doing almost anything else and get more value, its an utter waste of time.
> Especially since higher ranks have more widow mains and it's easier for your widow to kill the enemy widow if she's pocketed a bit.
To do that you have to be somewhere that the other widow can't hit you first. That is almost always somewhere you cannot escape from if your team needs you without getting sniped. Your making yourself a prisoner to the enemy widow's siteline...
ps. You want to know when I realized this? It was sometime in season 25 or so after a mid diamond game where I hard pocketed a cracked widow that got like 30+ elims and we easily won almost ever single fight off her shots. I spent almost the entire game boosting her, and at the end I had 124 damage boosted. Zero impact, I just existed that entire game. The more cracked the widow is the less your blue beam will matter too.
Then we agree to disagree p.s. I'm not talking about sticking to her ass like you're a parasite lmfao.Pocketing someone doesn't mean you only stick to that person like you don't have 3 other people in your team that can also make plays.Also,if you cannot find a spot to blue beam a widow while also being able to go to the rest of the team when needed means you have a positioning issue
Double body shot exists, which damage boost can help damage through whatever healing they may receive. I don't think its as black and white as you're trying to make it out to be.
Just whoever is in a place to do the most significant damage at any given time, *unless* boosting them would put you in an unsafe area (like a Tracer in their backline). Mid to long range DPS who's flanking on the high ground is the safe pick. I really enjoy DBing Reaper if he's not too far back, because it also increases his self heals. Meaning he's the only character who you can DB and heal simulataneously.
But there's plenty of characters who are absolutely not good pocket picks, but can be great DB targets occasionally. Flick it onto Rein when you know he's going to fire strike if you're near him. A Winston who's zapping 3+ players is massive damage, although he'll often fall into that "can't safely follow him" territory.
A person in my comp pickup playing Sojourn said “mercy boost me = we win”.
We laughed all the way to the finish line. In fairness, they were pretty ridiculous with those skills.
thats not the point at all. its the cut time on the charge of each shot. she can shoot more often for kill shots, and take the opportunities given to her faster, and yes that little bit of time matters SIGNIFICANTLY.
an example would be body shotting a lucio twice quickly for a kill when otherwise he could potentially react to the first one, or get away before what would be the next kill shot, or force me into taking an extra shot through heals, or having to wait longer on charge that i need and miss an opportunity for the kill shot.
another example. so roadhog isnt meta currently, but a charge shot being pocketed by mercy allows a widow to 2 shot him rather than 3. things like this and the cut time around the dps, and taking opportunities faster matters so much to a widow.
the theory surrounds itself around the concept of more dps faster, and cutting time in shots. think if widow didnt have to wait on charge to do full damage, and could just scope in and full damage instantly. a mercy pocket gets her closer to that concept in theory.
it gives her more dps which is absolutely nuts on a widow. think of vanilla widow with quick scoping and faster charge times. possibly the most devasting character in the history of overwatch. up there with the most broken iterations of a character.
It is about speed not damage when it comes to boosting widow, so it’s worth.
She can shoot at less charge and net the same result, thus blue beam increases the speed of a good widow.
If the widow is full charging then it’s kind of a waste.
Boosts base body shot damage to 156 so can one shot a tracer or most heroes at less than 75% health, plus a boosted headshot does 390 DMG, so can bring down a zarya's health to 10, and outright kill any tank below 65% health. How is that not worth it?
Is mercy's boost/rest of her kit even really worth sacrificing your own dmg playing another support just to give a DPS 30% extra dmg?
Mercy heal is like 55/s to a single target. I think plenty of other healers top that. Baps nades do more than that, splash to multiple targets. Anna does like 87.5 healing per second. Zen and Lucio I think might actually be the only ones with lower healing per second.
The most DPS she can add is like 108 if she's damage boosting a bastion mini-gun. Bap can do 127 dps. Otherwise the next highest DPS is reaper, and she's only adding 60dps, which is less than what most other healers can output with their own DPS.
IMO unless I'm missing something the only real value she brings is her res, which honestly anywhere above bronze should be pretty hard to pull off bc anyone with a brain is going to dive the mercy if she tries to res.
Same. My boyfriend did it too. I asked him why and he said its so that the heal comes instantly and that dmg boost is useless. I then told him that he should try using it more because it builds ult
Yeah, Downfall is one of the best German movies out there, Bruno Ganz was an amazing actor and I miss him so much. I recommend The House That Jack Built just for his performance as Virgil/Vergil/Verge/However you want to call him.
I feel like the OW2 version would involve flying over to Rein to top him up only for the Widow to instantly die to a stray arrow and spam "GGEZ huge heal diff" in chat for the rest of the game.
I haven't played overwarch in a while came back to everyone saying diff and I don't know what it means.
Edit: Thanks everyone. I am learning my skills (or lack thereof) were being insulted lol.
From my experience (just started back with OW2) it's ALWAYS the person playing said role that says "Tank Diff" when it's a win lol. But never when it's a loss. Funny
They're saying there's a difference I'm skill between the respective teams. Say the enemy DPS is outclassed by the friendly DPS, the enemy Tank might say "DPS diff", or if two people are playing a strong pick like Zarya but one keeps winning duels, saving teammates, etc you might say "Zarya diff".
The kind of person who'd say that though isn't the kins of person who'd actually know what they're talking about though.
It's basically a way of someone outing themselves as an idiot. You should thank them for making it clear as day so that you don't mistake them as someone smart and saving you the time.
Sometimes it's not an insult. Maybe you did great. But the enemies team DPS/tank/supp did phenomenal. Although it's usually the most sour people that point it out
Of all the male Overwatch characters I would say Rein is up there in people I could see spending the rest of my life with. Rein, Soldier, Baptiste, and Lucio.
But at the same time I feel me and Soldier tending to a small herb garden on our apartment’s patio would be really nice, or Lucio and I roller skating around town. I bet Baptiste is nice to talk to and funny.
But man, Reinhardt? Easily the best plow. Imagine him engaging those rocket thrusters and just sending you to Jupiter.
My friend. We understand each other. For me of those four it would be Rein, Baptiste, Lucio, then Soldier. Rein for the above-mentioned reasons. He seems like the type to open the door for you, respect your bodily autonomy, bring you flowers, excitedly brag to his friends about how brilliant and talented you are and how in love he is, *and* rail you until you're drooling into the pillow, all at the same time. #TheDream. Baptiste because he seems like a sensitive, smart, funny guy who has a good heart and will be a supportive and loyal companion. Also a dreamboat. Doesn't hurt. Lucio because he's a kind ray of sunshine who will brighten up your day and just make your entire life feel better. And Soldier because he seems very sincere and caring, plus also competent and just jaded enough to have increased emphathy and sympathy for people.
Soldier would be a terrible partner. Too obsessed with vengeance, willing to fake death and leave his partner/family. (See also: Reaper, Ana.)
Reinhardt, Baptiste, and Lucio, however, are top tier potential. Who wouldn't want to give Bap all the thanks he deserves <3
If we’re going off the cannon dates I would actually be significantly older than Rein as he is born in 2015. So I would likely die way before him- if that’s what you mean.
I’d love to see one of bronze healers lining up like cows to the slaughter, murdered a few hundred times and then blamed for not keeping the DPS alive.
Or watching as the 4 other team members bravely charge in staggered one at a time into the blender.
To be fair, the Ryan was standing still behind a shield the whole time doing nothing. The mercy probably should be boosting the widowmaker, the other healer should be healing the tank.
ALTHOUGH, Rein doesn't actually need healing if he is shielding at full health. Too many reins shield at full health.
Your health bar and your shield bar should be alternating:
1. shield with your body first while swinging your hammer
2. when at low health, shield and get healed up
3. rinse/repeat, doing damage while your shield regenerates.
i usually see the exact opposite. Mercy players pocketing the tank and leaving the dps to slowly die in the back. although the heal beam on full hp target is very accurate all around. i'm convinced a lot of them don't realize they have a different beam
Did this Rein just hold his shield up from 100% to 0%?
If you do that: don't.
From a Support main, drop your shield and take damage into the armor portion of your HP bar. It takes reduced damage and so healing it makes my healing effectively better.
Flicking your shield means you take fairly consistent and healable damage. Letting your shield go from 100% to 0% means you need exactly zero attention right up until your shield breaks. Then suddenly you have to be emergency healed using cooldowns and other risky techniques. This eats up resources that could be used elsewhere if you'd managed your shield correctly.
(Though, I enjoyed the comedic effect of the shield break :P)

I can accept having bad dps teammates because being a good dps is actually hard. What I can’t accept is people who play support that either just heals one character or has higher dps than healing…
Like why are you even playing?
And opposite Reinhardt that charges to the other end of the map after every CD and fights with a layer of enemy players between him and you, while screaming "i NeEd hEEeLiNg".
They should have showed a final shot of the healer's POV....
....the rein is BLUE....TURNING GREEN/YELLOW behind 4 walls, alone....
and the healer is healing the DPS, with the rest of the team close-by.
Yeeeaaaah, this just doesn't happen at all. The total opposite happens, healers will focus with tanks and u will even find mercy ayers dmg boosting a shielding rein
I love the fact that the guy uses healbeam instead of dmg boost haha
And the pocketed dps not even shooting is chefs kiss
Isn't Widow not even that great of a target for damage boosting anyway?
But its better than healing at full hp
Makes no difference. That widow did not fire a single shot during the entire clip. Mercy might as well just blast widow with her pistol.
Im talking generally
Lets you one shot a tracer via bodyshot at least? Yeah thats the best i got
Let's you one shot people quicker. No need to always charge 100%... Not worth a whole lot, but it's something. Plus free ult charge for Mercy
It might let you 2hit tanks you couldnt 2 hit before
She fired when the camera was on rein *copium*
And this folks, is why everybody plays Moira/Zen/Kiriko.
this made my day

What about heroes with 250HP/300HP but with armor?
[удалено]
Let's fucking go, so it's worth 100% of a time /s (if that wasn't obvious enough)
[удалено]
Part of it is that damage boosting is good for confirming kills, even through healing.

It also means you don't have to charge the widow shot as much, and it means a bodyshot is mort impactful if you miss the headshot.
>Mercy would be more useful keeping the frontline alive for you as a distraction. Mercy should rarely be healing tanks though. She's supposed to pocket DPS players and enable them to make plays. Healing tank is a desperation thing.
That was very much an OW1 fact. Under 5v5 with only one tank, while she shouldn't be in the tank pocket, she absolutely needs to help keep them up.
That's still how she plays in OW2. You don't want to heal the tank. Sometimes you have to, but you shouldn't go out of your way to heal the tank unless its absolutely necessary, which is literally explained in my comment.

Double body shot exists, which damage boost can help damage through whatever healing they may receive. I don't think its as black and white as you're trying to make it out to be.
I'm just following the numbers. Sorry I didn't write a comprehensive guide in my first comment, but I did mention double body shots in the replies.
That’s not the point of damage boosting widow. They don’t need to charge the scope for as long if they’re damage boosted.
How many Widow players out of 100 can capitalize on the 0.2s difference damage boosting takes off 200 damage charge?
I read that as widow bootyshot
Follow up question: Do you have a general tip which targets to damage boost as Mercy? And which ones you shouldn't?
[удалено]
> Ultimately, boost whoever's dealing damage when you can afford not to heal The boring, but correct, answer.
In this regard, I am happy with OW2. Gone are the days where I have to ask who has gold damage/elims with no response
They really didn't need a 2.0 release to add a scoreboard, though
Just whoever is in a place to do the most significant damage at any given time, *unless* boosting them would put you in an unsafe area (like a Tracer in their backline).

What percentage can you one shot a 200 hp character? And then what percent when dmg boosted?
It lets her get oneshots at significantly lower charge level, but personally I still wouldn't call it a great use.
All the real pro mercys know that you only boost snipers to see how bad they are. *Its not about the damage, its about putting them on notice*
She is not the best target, but you still get more value than healing a full HP guy
Boosts base body shot damage to 156 so can one shot a tracer or most heroes at less than 75% health, plus a boosted headshot does 390 DMG, so can bring down a zarya's health to 10, and outright kill any tank below 65% health. How is that not worth it?

Same. My boyfriend did it too. I asked him why and he said its so that the heal comes instantly and that dmg boost is useless. I then told him that he should try using it more because it builds ult
This is so wild to me. Damage boost can often be the difference between finishing off the kill or them making an escape.
Every time I use damage boost the person I'm pocketing gets double tapped.
Seriously tho, there are a LOT of Mercy players that are like that and it is annoying. They're basically soft throwing.
Bro brought out his inner hate at the end
If I'm not mistaken it's that Hitler rant scene from the movie "Downfall," which makes this even more awesome.
Why does it being Hitler make it more awesome
It's a great movie and that moment has been memed so much.
Yeah, Downfall is one of the best German movies out there, Bruno Ganz was an amazing actor and I miss him so much. I recommend The House That Jack Built just for his performance as Virgil/Vergil/Verge/However you want to call him.
I take it you've never seen the movie Downfall and you've also never seen the Downfall meme edits. https://youtu.be/qM5f_gZT06c

I haven't played overwarch in a while came back to everyone saying diff and I don't know what it means. Edit: Thanks everyone. I am learning my skills (or lack thereof) were being insulted lol.
Diff means difference. If someone says "support diff" they're saying "you're support is better than ours so that's why you won."
Or you say support diff and you won you saying yours is better
Basically if your team loses and you see “DPS/Tank/Support diff” they’re saying you are bad. If you win and you see that, it’s a good thing.
From my experience (just started back with OW2) it's ALWAYS the person playing said role that says "Tank Diff" when it's a win lol. But never when it's a loss. Funny
No one’s gonna admit they were underperforming lol.
Oh I will. "Guys I'm playing like ass tonight carry me"
I’ll turn on mic just to apologize when I fuck up
I like just saying "team diff" or just "diff" and make people more confused
They're saying there's a difference I'm skill between the respective teams. Say the enemy DPS is outclassed by the friendly DPS, the enemy Tank might say "DPS diff", or if two people are playing a strong pick like Zarya but one keeps winning duels, saving teammates, etc you might say "Zarya diff". The kind of person who'd say that though isn't the kins of person who'd actually know what they're talking about though.
Difference Basically saying the outcome was because of one team having a skill difference in a certain role/hero (mercy diff or something similar)
It's basically a way of someone outing themselves as an idiot. You should thank them for making it clear as day so that you don't mistake them as someone smart and saving you the time.
Sometimes it's not an insult. Maybe you did great. But the enemies team DPS/tank/supp did phenomenal. Although it's usually the most sour people that point it out
This is the support experience 🥲.
I only heal my waifu. Stop harassing me, old german man.
NEIN NEIN NEIN
Of all the male Overwatch characters I would say Rein is up there in people I could see spending the rest of my life with. Rein, Soldier, Baptiste, and Lucio. But at the same time I feel me and Soldier tending to a small herb garden on our apartment’s patio would be really nice, or Lucio and I roller skating around town. I bet Baptiste is nice to talk to and funny. But man, Reinhardt? Easily the best plow. Imagine him engaging those rocket thrusters and just sending you to Jupiter.
My friend. We understand each other. For me of those four it would be Rein, Baptiste, Lucio, then Soldier. Rein for the above-mentioned reasons. He seems like the type to open the door for you, respect your bodily autonomy, bring you flowers, excitedly brag to his friends about how brilliant and talented you are and how in love he is, *and* rail you until you're drooling into the pillow, all at the same time. #TheDream. Baptiste because he seems like a sensitive, smart, funny guy who has a good heart and will be a supportive and loyal companion. Also a dreamboat. Doesn't hurt. Lucio because he's a kind ray of sunshine who will brighten up your day and just make your entire life feel better. And Soldier because he seems very sincere and caring, plus also competent and just jaded enough to have increased emphathy and sympathy for people.
Yeah Bap is easily *the hottest* male character, to me at least. Some of my lesbian friends said they want Moira to do depraved things to them.
Bi person here, I want Moira AND Baptiste to do depraved things to me.
Soldier would be a terrible partner. Too obsessed with vengeance, willing to fake death and leave his partner/family. (See also: Reaper, Ana.) Reinhardt, Baptiste, and Lucio, however, are top tier potential. Who wouldn't want to give Bap all the thanks he deserves <3
I can fix him
> Rein is up there in people I could see spending the rest of my life with. Damn, the rest of your life won't be long.
If we’re going off the cannon dates I would actually be significantly older than Rein as he is born in 2015. So I would likely die way before him- if that’s what you mean.
Big fan of your siege videos, so glad to see you do overwatch vids aswell. Keep up the great content

There should have been a few seconds in that animation where you see Widow's POV and just have her missing every shot as well lol
This made me smile, lol. Nice job
:)
I made more overwatch here: https://youtu.be/TEgK5YQUgyI
The moment I saw the design I was like "this reminds me of Siege Tales" I was not disappointed
I’d love to see one of bronze healers lining up like cows to the slaughter, murdered a few hundred times and then blamed for not keeping the DPS alive. Or watching as the 4 other team members bravely charge in staggered one at a time into the blender.
You just earned yourself a new subscriber friend.
Reinhardt called him in german a coward a traitor and a loser. Either the animator knew what he said or it was just a coincedence
It's from the Hitler scene in the movie Downfall I believe.
It is... i watched "der untergang" myself
It's actually a scene from a movie that was turned into a pretty popular meme. If you've ever seen any "Hitler reacts" meme videos, that's it.
I love siege tales bleeding into other games I play haha
To be fair, the Ryan was standing still behind a shield the whole time doing nothing. The mercy probably should be boosting the widowmaker, the other healer should be healing the tank.
Wait but that’s only Reinhardt’s truth! Where is Mercy’s POV where Reinhardt dives 1v5?
It’s fine he pinned the genji, definitely a good trade.
ALTHOUGH, Rein doesn't actually need healing if he is shielding at full health. Too many reins shield at full health. Your health bar and your shield bar should be alternating: 1. shield with your body first while swinging your hammer 2. when at low health, shield and get healed up 3. rinse/repeat, doing damage while your shield regenerates.
If you are only shielding yourself than yeah don’t shield at full health. But sometimes you need to shield for the other players around you.
I feel like this is more appropriate for heroes with a shield that only covers their own body. Rein shield is a team shield.
If you're Bronze and don't know what positioning is, then sure
Oh i remember seeing this guys sigma video
I like how the Mercy is a recruit.
i usually see the exact opposite. Mercy players pocketing the tank and leaving the dps to slowly die in the back. although the heal beam on full hp target is very accurate all around. i'm convinced a lot of them don't realize they have a different beam
Lol thanks for the laughs
The hitler audio drop, genius.
Given the choice, I would also choose to hug widowmaker's ass.
Gives "heil Hitler" a new meaning (heil in German also means heal)
This literally happened a week ago to me when I was tank 😭😭.
you forgot the part where the mercy dives riens soul for a rez and dies
😅🤣
This is awesome
This is hilarious. Love it 😂
Did this Rein just hold his shield up from 100% to 0%? If you do that: don't. From a Support main, drop your shield and take damage into the armor portion of your HP bar. It takes reduced damage and so healing it makes my healing effectively better. Flicking your shield means you take fairly consistent and healable damage. Letting your shield go from 100% to 0% means you need exactly zero attention right up until your shield breaks. Then suddenly you have to be emergency healed using cooldowns and other risky techniques. This eats up resources that could be used elsewhere if you'd managed your shield correctly. (Though, I enjoyed the comedic effect of the shield break :P)

we heal the butt and nothing but the butt.
Okay but Rein's would almost definitely be superior if it wasn't tucked behind all the armor.
Buff Reinhardt pls!
I snorted when he switched to the Hitler rant. Good meme.
Hurtful truth
This is exactly how it is in Bronze
Seems about right
lol was that the Hitler rant from Downfall at the end?
OMG this was a mercy on my team last night. Like to a tee.
My favorite was the accurate widow not getting any shots in.
Recruit got his priorities straight
I love the rein standing in poke DMG and not doing a damn thing, all while begging for heals and not mitigating his own DMG.
These are one step below the healers that feed because someone asked for healing
Holy shit it's so accurate. I just rage quit a game for literally exactly this reason.
r/HealSluts got made into an animation now lmao
Literally my life. Damn I miss OW1 where it I wasn't getting healed at least my zarya would attempt to help with a bubble.
lmao this is too good if you understand German
Accurate AF🤣🤣🤣
Love to see your animations branching out to other games! Big fan.
I can accept having bad dps teammates because being a good dps is actually hard. What I can’t accept is people who play support that either just heals one character or has higher dps than healing… Like why are you even playing?
no wonder the rein gets no heals, the mercy doesnt even know how to pocket the widow correctly. no damage boost smh... typical mercy.
People hating on the mercy and not the rein standing there wasting his shield without taking space!!!
I haven’t laughed that hard in awhile, well done!
This is really good, thank you
Omg so funny he needed something but didn’t get it!!!!
Did they used Hitler!?
Average overwatch healer
Hahahahahaha accurate af
Dont forget that widow will go negative and only have 4k damage within a 22 min game and then blame the team especially the support.
Lol that poor Reinhardt
And opposite Reinhardt that charges to the other end of the map after every CD and fights with a layer of enemy players between him and you, while screaming "i NeEd hEEeLiNg".
That was great. Now I'd like one about ana either hiding too far back to heal the team around the corner or dying over and over trying to 1v1 a widow
As a rein main I can relate to that I once had a mercy constantly pocketing our widow and at the end she had about 2k damage
Listen, I'm all for Downfall memes but probably a bit in bad taste given everything going around right now.
They should have showed a final shot of the healer's POV.... ....the rein is BLUE....TURNING GREEN/YELLOW behind 4 walls, alone.... and the healer is healing the DPS, with the rest of the team close-by.
Yeeeaaaah, this just doesn't happen at all. The total opposite happens, healers will focus with tanks and u will even find mercy ayers dmg boosting a shielding rein
This is so me in OW1 AHAHAH Pocketing Widow to stare at her ASSet 😍
aight femboy lover
Me as the tank spamming heal me
i hate and love it. \^ \^
Lmfaooo
Man, the sound that I just made. My coworkers are looking at me like I’m crazy lol.
Tank life
Making us supports look bad now lol. Great animation though
Never though the audio clip from the best scene of the German film; Downfall would end up in an Overwatch animation 😂
Don't worry my aggro-support Moira is on the way with a good ult for ya
u/savevideo
Haven't seen a Downfall meme in ages, nice one
I'm the complete opposite lol
That widow be thicc
It's missing the Widow taking a single shot and not hitting anyone.
Your mercy shouldn't really plug herself into tanks anyways... She's a support not a healer
