YOU DON’T NEED HEALING

YOU’RE NOT EVEN CRITICAL

THERE’S A HEALTH PACK RIGHT THERE

AND I’M ONLY JUST RESPAWNING

MAYBE IF YOU DIDN’T OVEREXTEND

AND PROTECTED YOUR HEALER

YOU’D ACTUALLY GET SOME HEALS

YOU SHITTY

DPS

MAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNNNSSSSSS

So I just finished watching Aggretsuko and this is the first thing that popped into my head 🤘

(As a Mercy main, this was incredibly cathartic to draw)

I have a friend who plays as attack Mercy. No healing ever. The only healing he’ll ever do is his ult. I’ve seen him get POTG as attack Mercy. He charged the payload, pistol out and ready to go. As he gets there he resurrects 4 people and headshots two people. This pushed the payload to its final destination and ended the game. You could feel the disbelief as everyone watched this epic POTG. My friend then gets on the com and says: “that’s right, Attack Mercy, bitch” and quits the game. I haven’t seen him play anything but Duck Game since.

Me, as Mercy: *watching my kill cam for the 15th time because my team kept using me as a human shield*

A pro mercy meets the worst Genji An unstoppable force meets an immovable object

so, competitive is going well. shoutout to the enemy who tried to convince their team to let me draw. I tried to encourage this by telling them i was a mercy main, and that 300+ hours on mercy meant i had a good heart. in response i got “lol”.  first i place high gold instead of plat like last season and now this nonsense? bruh. BRUH.

 i got POTG anyway, which made me die irl because of what it entailed. so i thought i’d share. the end.

Playing Mercy. Our Zarya and I exchanged hellos and were hanging out and sat with eachother before match start. Then our Pharah comes up to say hello to me. The Zarya gets up facing the Pharah, Zarya does her "crush you" emote while Pharah did her "knuckles" one. It was unexpected but I guess I got fought over by lesbians. (I love it.)

I’m an Orisa main, but play Mercy whenever my team needs a healer. So, whenever I can play Orisa, I make sure to thank my healer profusely for their heals, thank them for picking a healer so I didn’t have to, try to stay in their line of sight, and always try my best ro help them if they’re in a pickle. (Just from thanking them early on, sometimes I get a pocket Ana or Mercy! And as Orisa, a nano boost or power boost help IMMENSELY.)

One quick play game on Nepal Sanctum, it just was me and a Mercy on point. Everyone else was either dead or deep in enemy lines, and I was being attacked by a Soldier and an Ana. The Mercy was doing her job very well, power boosting and healing me when I needed it while hiding behind a wall. Eventually, my shield went down, but not before I take out the Soldier. I watch the Ana run to the windows around the point for a second only to see a Widow aiming right for Mercy. My shield was on cooldown, but Fortify was not.

So, I pulled a literal “Get down Mr. President” for my Mercy, jumping in front of her as I took the headshot and attempted to HALT! The Widow into the pit. It didn’t work, as she grappled to safety. Then, that Widow, a Tracer, and a D.Va all took both of us down and recaptured the point. Our other teammates were already on their way to the point, recapturing it best they could without a healer. Meanwhile, the Mercy was thanking me profusely in chat. Once I respawned, I walked toward the point while watching for the Mercy. She pocketed me for the rest of the game. It was great. We won after another round, all thanks to a game-saving rez by the Mercy.

Moral of the story. It doesn’t hurt to have a healer, and it never hurts to help your healer. Even if you have to jump in from of them to take the shot, do it. It might just be worth it.
