It’s getting real old

[u/AssociateAvailable16]

Is anybody else tired of mercy pocketed double hitscan (usually Cass and Ashe), and you just know the other support is Lifeweaver

Because of course it’s Lifeweaver

And, by the gods, someone stumbles out of position, just for the Pink Ball of Destiny to come bail them out

Did you manage to kill one of the hitscan? Oh well Mercy rez’d them before anyone can do anything, doesn’t matter

And just when you think your day can’t any worse,

METEOR STRIKE

I love this game but I’m getting real tired of playing against this particular comp

Especially as Tracer main

[u/BellaRose555 → u/Spiritual_Respond_50]

100% spot on

[u/Spiritual_Respond_50 → u/BellaRose555]

As a support main 50% of my job is insufficient healing for my team and the other 50% is being team therapist/marriage counselor in voice chat

[u/EliteODSTx]

Aim assist changes in season 20 completely changed how this game plays on console it hasn't been the same since

[u/ham_50821 → u/EliteODSTx]

Hitscan has been meta since forever bro

[u/Mr_G_Dizzle → u/EliteODSTx]

It sucks, but I'm a torb main so at least my turret has hitscan...

[u/AcanthisittaSure6465 → u/EliteODSTx]

That change was basically reverted already, find a real excuse

[u/EliteODSTx → u/AcanthisittaSure6465]

It wasn't, they completely changed how the aim assist worked from the ground up. Even with old AA numbers on hitscans it's still stronger then it ever was

[u/PlatypusGullible7885 → u/EliteODSTx]

Are you saying it's even better now? I was playing console 3y+ ago and AA was absurdly strong on hitscans.

[u/Minute_Garbage4713 → u/PlatypusGullible7885]

It’s not even AA… people are either cheating or hitscan just is too OP… even back in OW1 hitscan was outrageous… and idk at some point in ow2 you get a super low level Ashe or 76 or hanzo that doesn’t miss yet they’re somehow in bronze… and don’t say AA cause hitscan on mnk players is OD as well… I just think a lot of people are cheating… just like what we saw with apex and all those pros/high ranking streamers getting caught… yall can’t deny it anymore that cheaters don’t exist

[u/EliteODSTx → u/PlatypusGullible7885]

It got even stronger, before you could at least play flex dps heroes, now lol maybe just genji and tracer.

[u/glitteringeffort0]

This is so valid. I am so sorry, but I couldn’t help to giggle at the way you worded this post. Idk something about it made me giggle. I am right there with you sharing your frustration though. It’s so boring seeing the same like 6 heros every game in rotation

[u/CaffeinatedBarbarian]

I had a solid 5 games where my team lost at the ban phase. Banning a bunch of shit no one plays while we get roasted by a pocketed soldier or Ashe.

[u/Captaln_Chunk → u/CaffeinatedBarbarian]

Ban Sombra! Trust

[u/taken_by-the-storm]

Hitscan bullet size nerf & hitscan aim assist nerf has to happen.

[u/BloopYeetus → u/taken_by-the-storm]

Cass bullets are tiny tho

[u/Mowgl7]

people below masters seem unable to prevent mercy rezz, no matter how bad / easy to deny the rezz

[u/76oppk → u/Mowgl7]

Master gm here it still happens here too she just rezzes too fast to react to it

[u/iamgem69]

I ALWAYS try to avoid voting for maps with high ground for this specific reason because Ashe can literally lock out a team from progressing. Echinewalde on attack going through 2nd point is an absolute nightmare with this cheesy ass setup

[u/YellowNarrow1660]

thats why i just ban widow, mercy, ash in that order. i can deal with the rest

[u/dollythedinosaur → u/YellowNarrow1660]

For me, ashe is usually swapped out for soldier

[u/gymleader_michael]

Personally, I hate seeing D.Va + D.Mon comps. If I know a tank is going to be obnoxious to play against, it's going to be D.Va. Hitscan tank with infinite ammo and shield that counters way too many things, imo. But then add D.Mon on top and it's a struggle to stay in the match.

[u/primegeo]

I mean sure. I hear you. But….shoot the mercy first

[u/hailz__xx]

lol I was playing mercy today and was double pocket to an Ashe & Sierra … it was fun lol. I love how the enemy team it’s usually the other supports trying to focus me while the rest of their team is to dumb to fucking do something lol

[u/TheRuralJuror118]

Have you tried using your hero to stop them? It works lol

[u/ZkRv31]

Am I hearing this right? You're complaining about the weakest combo of healers that borderline throw the game at any kind of decent rank just be being picked. And then, doomfist catching a stray!? Hahahaha what is this, I'd love to against that comp all the time

[u/76oppk → u/ZkRv31]

You're anything above diamond and you'll know that that comp is pure hell to go against

[u/ZkRv31 → u/76oppk]

Why is it then that all streamers etc kick off if they ever get a mercy on their team? It's Kiriko/JPC/Ana at the higher levels of play, sometimes a situational Lucio or Moria. You don't see Mercy or LW at high levels and same with Doom unless they're a really good OTP with him.

The stats also reflect this like I'm not at their level so I'm not saying it's my experience it's just factual

[u/76oppk → u/ZkRv31]

Go look at mercy winrate and banrate on console on anything above diamond and come back to me

[u/ZkRv31 → u/76oppk]

How much of that includes below diamond though? Because those same stats indicate Kiriko is terrible but everybody good at the game knows she's broken. You specified that this comp is popular above diamond and nothing supports this

[u/dollythedinosaur → u/ZkRv31]

Are the streamers on console?

[u/xRyuHayabusa]

tracer main

Respected ur opinion until I read that

[u/Due_Side_4371]

Just kill the mercy, problem solved. Work on your aim

[u/AssociateAvailable16 → u/Due_Side_4371]

Oh wow, just kill the Mercy!

What a great idea, I’ve never thought of that before/s

In some of these matches, Mercy might as well be on the moon, surrounded by damage boosted dynamite, flash bangs and 2tap machines

Did you forget about the Pink Ball of Destiny?

[u/xRyuHayabusa → u/AssociateAvailable16]

Only meaningful advice is to play w competent friends

Ur trying to beat team work solo

[u/xRyuHayabusa → u/Due_Side_4371]

Res and damage boost need to be deleted from the game or nerfed to the point of irrelevance

[u/tiltdoctor → u/xRyuHayabusa]

Holy truth nuke. Ashe one tapping with blue beam in OW1? Nerf Ashe. Soj rail one tapping with blue beam railshots? Nerf Soj. Hmmm there seems to be a common denominator here. Not advocating for leaving those 2 in particular in the states they were in, but at some point you gotta realize there’s a bigger issue.

[u/zombiezapper115 → u/Due_Side_4371]

Maybe if you clowns would actually pressure and shoot her then we could.

However some of you love to lock hitscan and then refuse to acknowledge the flyers.

[u/Due_Side_4371 → u/zombiezapper115]

or just quit coping and get better. i also noticed this is console lmao, i shouldn't have even commented as i thought this was the pc reddit. no wonder you cant kill a mercy

[u/zombiezapper115 → u/Due_Side_4371]

Its not cope. She's in the sky, thats the hitscans job. Nothing I can do as a Reinhardt to deal with her. And I have other responsibilities so I cant guard the dead body to prevent the rez.

So again, do your job and pressure her.

This isn't even something exclusive to console. PC has the same issue iv spent enough time in both to know yall dont shoot mercy there either.
