TEXT WALL INBOUND 1 st of , not your place to tell anyone how to play their character but whatever , we ' ll set that aside . 2 nd , he is mainly pulling out his pistol to kill flankers or people trying to kill him directly or even when they ' re crushing the enemy and he just jumps in to get the killspotgs . In most these cases his teammates are ignoring the enemy there and dmg boosting them is redundant or in the crushing case , heals aren ' t necessary when you have an enemy or 2 alive and your team is already slamming em . Also even a slip everynow and then is nothing to get your panties in a twist over anyway . 3 rd clearly he has good pistol aim skills , which you might not have and that ' s okay . No reason for you to tell another mercy who is better at combat than you to not pull out her pistol and clean house . Also there are various pros and cons to dmg boosting and it is situational . Usually you give it to a mate whose shooting the enemy while you yourself are protected behind them . Even then it ' s not necessary they ' ll land all their shots . And as a final point , whose to say killing an enemy or 2 isn ' t as valuable as healing one of your teammates ? Clearly each situation is different and you need to consider such variances before making blanket statements . I ' d pick this guy as my Mercy over most others anyday . Besides all this , it ' s refreshing seeing a Mercy , who instead of running when attacked , pulls out her pistol and actually kills her attacker . HELP ME I ' m coming Mer Ich bin da Wait where ' s the ene I ' ll be watching over you . Incredible meme here though , I ' m sure we ' ll be seeing a lot of this post copypasta ' d becuase of how shortsightedseeming and douchebaggy it is . edit sorry for the tough words but that ' s honestly how it sounds
