The pharah isn't doing her job, but the team should also have another support on the ground with them. You can try to use the pharah as an escape route basically, and only heal her when required/damage boost her when she's just dumping rockets into the enemy team from long range, and do the healing for the rest of your team, but it's quite hard. Your team also needs to know to follow up on the pharahs rockets. She does great burst, but it's SLOW, and much more effective if she gets a direct on someone for other members of your team to finish off the kills, otherwise she's just feeding the enemy teams support ults.In post 1024, Elbirn wrote:I basically main mercy at this point and every time I set up a pharmacy it's just me watching in horror as the other 4 members of the team get absolutely destroyed because I'm not there to help them, but fortunately the survivors guilt doesn't last too much longer because then I get laser beam focused
Do I just need to git gud or is pharah not doing her job or does this setup need another support character or what?GTK a me, currently live, this may be your only chance!

Sounds like you want to play ana instead of mercy. Use grenade and sleep to help your boys. Sniper to heal pharah. You can ult her if she really needs to deal more damage.
A second healer to handle everyone that is not pharah is also viable, though the pharah should really be prioritizing the important targets and not just spammingWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

As phara you should always be going for the targets that suffer the most from your height advantage. You'll never be able to pick of a soldier, mccree, widow, ana. But junkrat, reaper, symmettra, etc are food for a pharaTHIS POST IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.-

Good points midudes, cerb in my whole time playing mercy I've never had the spacial awareness to, in battle, even look at pharah while I'm on the ground. I should probably learn to use airborne pharah as an escape route. Poker has a point that Ana would be a good option, but it's literally impossible to not have res on your team and no one else ever wants to play Mercy it seems *mercy shrug emote here* I do want to get good as ana and zenyatta though cuz they're cool and I'd like some variation in my eternity spent as support-

I feel like there's a problem with giving advice like this because the different tiers play so differently. I'm not saying this to be elitist or anything, because people in GM would have different strategies/concerns than people at my rank, and that also applies to the lower ranks too. Pharmercy is a bigger problem the lower ranks you go, but when Master rank Mccrees can hit the vast majority of their shots (and a good bit of them headshots) from across the area, it's less of a problem.-

Yup, this is pretty much what I do to the letter (majority of play this season for me was as zen)In post 1023, PokerFace wrote:I like using Zen and discording the pharmercy. When they took away his weapon spread his projectiles became almost as good as hitscan. I call out on the coms that I am discording the mercy. That often results her getting focused and then I do the same to pharah
I like trying to focus them as well and see if I can't get a crazy orb headshot but usually I let other people take care of them because it's hard focusing on the air and ground at the same time, I'm just a casual silver scrubdid another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!
