A side note, am I the only one who thinks it would have made more sense to give Mercy the sleep dart? It fits with her being a doctor, it would give her some utility, and it would be a good counter against flankers. And before anyone says it would make Mercy OP, if she did have the sleep dart I do think they could increase the rate of her health regeneration.

Speaking of Mercy...
I would consider this video a lesson to learn to use more than a single hero to rank up.

It's people like in the video above that makes me hesitate to call myself a Mercy-main.

Duelist I should probably give credit where credit is due - the Zarya did bubble me nicely. A good Zarya is a godsend to any team!

It feels like I'm spamming this thread at the moment, but I really have to get this off my chest. I was playing a quickplay match, and all the other people mostly choose DPS characters like Tracer and Widow, so even though I wanted to play D.VA I felt I had to play a healer. Since the comp wasn't great I picked Mercy because she's the one I perform best with. It was a rough game because the opposing team was good, and they had a better team comp overall. I'm having a difficult time getting any rezzes done and consider switching to Lucio, but since we could barely leave spawn without getting killed and there was little time left I decided against it. In the end we failed to cap the last point and lost.
After the game I get a message from the Tracer in my team, informing me just how trash I was at playing Mercy. Now, I will be the first to admit it wasn't my best game, however I did have almost 9k healing on a payload map where we didn't even cap the second point, so obviously I was doing something (I was the only one in my team to get a card, 27% of damage taken). Now, why do people suddenly think it's okay to be a jerk towards your healer? I normally wouldn't care and just write a snarky reply, but people have been complaining so much about how Mercy suck that I just... why do people have to be assholes?
Sorry for the rant, I'm just feeling healing-fatigue at the moment...

I know that feeling. I was getting called a trash Winston for not babysitting the enemy Genji until I pointed out to the guy that he was Reaper but I still had three gold medals including eliminations.
I've pretty much accepted that I'm going to be tank for whatever team I'm on but sweet fuck it's hard when your DPS sucks. It's idiots instalocking DPS and sucking that turned me into a Roadhog main until Blizzard killed him.

Played a game as Roadhog with over 70% hook accuracy as sole tank with no healers until our Tracer swapped to Lucio.
With old Hog, that would have led to me almost singlehandedly holding the first point. With new Hog though? We got rolled.

I have to admit, I like the changes to Roadhog - it feels like I finally have some counterplay if I get hooked as Reaper or Mei. That being said, they might compensate him in other ways like lowering the cooldown on his hook again or give him yet another round to his gun. Perhaps he should have a bit of armor or shields? I'm certainly not an avid Hog player (and thus not the best judge of his kit), but in Mystery heroes I've managed to secure some kills by shooting the target once before I performed the hook-combo.

Why so many female Overwatch players gravitate towards Mercy? The second most played by females is probably a tie between Zen and Symmetra... I would like to see a female that plays a good Reinhardt, or at least Pharah...

Can't speak for females in general, only myself. Mercy was actually not among the first characters I tried - I was very new to the whole fps-shooter thing (had only played Destiny before, and Destiny is very different from Overwatch) and didn't know what to try. My friend suggested I might like D.VA because she's a bit more durable and doesn't have to reload. The pacing of the game shocked me, and I just couldn't handle her flying forward so fast, so instead I switched to Pharah who I think was the character I initially started to main.
However, since my friend mained Pharah as well I was instead introduced to Lucio, and that became my new calling; finally I could support the team without worrying too much about my shitty aim! Just exist! So for a while I played a lot of Lucio and was happy doing so. I had now also grown accustomed to the pacing of the game, and started to play a lot more D.VA. but also Reinhardt ("just keep his shield up and walk in front of the payload!") and Mei.
At this point I decided to go to the training grounds and more thoroughly investigate what the characters could do. It was at this point I finally understood Mercy's kit, and slowly she started to overtake Lucio's place as my main healer. I think the reason for this was simply that she was more fun - zipping around on the battlefield, saving teammates from the brink of death, then reviving them when all seems lost... how is that not exhilarating?
Nowadays I play mostly Mercy, Lucio, Symmetra, Mei and D.VA., and the reason for this is simply that they don't require excellent aim and they help the other teammates (except Mei, I play her because I also have a sadistic streak). If the team needs an anchor-tank I prefer Orisa because to me her kit is more fun and I like her projectiles. I'm still horrible at playing her, but I hope to be passable eventually. I probably should train Rein more, I have nothing against him or his kit, it just frustrates me to play him because people never stay behind the bloody shield!
For the record, I never play Zen - I don't dislike him, I just can't get a grip on him. Very useful ultimate though. I want to improve the way I play Pharah too, I just never manage to predict the missiles correctly and when I try to use knockback the enemies always end up not booped off the map...

Maybe they're not good with FPS games(or have much experience with them) and want an easy to play character to roll with? In other news, I've gotten double boops with Orisa's gravity orb earlier and it's hella fun as heck.

DVA is another hero that females tend to gravitate towards for some reason, I've even come across quite a few Pharah mains. One of my female friends is a really good Tracer/Soldier too but inconsistent as fuck.

And it's really weird in case of DVa because she is kinda like a fan service to Esports fans and has the most annoying voice in the game.

For me it is an aim thing, partly because I lag sometimes and they're more forgiving.

My aim is decent but I find Tank is my best role unless things aren't dying in front of me then Reaper comes out. I'm not sure how but I think I've become a Winston main. Curious. I've become an Orisa main after maining D.Va for so long. There's a difference though: Winston is actually useful In truth, Roadhog feeds too much and offers fuck all in return so I can't main him any more.
