I would recommend for people who struggle with their team/enemy awareness to play with Toggle Beam ON. It helps to get rid of the "gotta look at the person I'm healing" mentality by removing one of the active inputs and frees up juuuust enough of a corner in your brain to focus on one less task. Both settings have their upsides and downsides, I swap between them frequently depending on my mood.
That's a GREAT addition as well. Since ADHD makes my brain just go BRRRR, I normally don't have too much of a problem with the different active inputs BUT that's a great thing to point out that playing with Toggle Beam ON can help removing one active input if there's too many active inputs they have to think about
I am completely new to OW 2, day 3 so far. I manage to get Gold 2 and slowly climbing up. I main Mercy and I am thankful to find up to date video like this one. You got my sub fosho!
Welcome to OW2! I hope you're enjoying the game so far and Gold 2 is a great starting point to climb from! A lot of the settings videos are pretty outdated so I'm glad I was able to release this ASAP for the new (and returning) Mercy players! Look forward to more guides from me in the future 👀
I've been tinkering with taking the heal/dmg off of the mouse buttons, and instead keeping the core movement there. It requires beam toggle on, but M1 Gaurdian Angel, M2 crouch for SJ, Q for Heal, E for DMG. Rez whatever you want, and I like jump on scroll/space. Has its pros and cons, but the pro is the movement is super easy because a lot of the key management is streamlined. Con is that pistol requires holding Q, but could be moved to shift or something less awkward.
Amazing settings update! It has been.. 2 years since you have updated the settings! Thank you for providing such a detailed explanation on each of these settings
LMAO I literally had 2 separate settings guides before because of the updated GA Target Priority setting but now it's finally in 1 guide again, it's nice to be able to have just 1 video to show people instead of 2 again :>
I'm just starting and figured out the setting a bit and they match yours almost. The one thing I cannot get used to yet is toggle GA off, I have it on. But I guess I have to get used to it sooner rather than later. Sometimes I press double shift and you lose your GA and stop halfway 🤯 But with off mode I tend to let go and it happens more frequently then the one above. Now I will watch some other videos of you. Many thanks!
Same actually! I've been so used to GA toggle on that trying to transition to holding it is rather difficult at the moment, hoping to get better since I did experience the benefits of being able to fly indefinitely lmaoo.
Nahhh! GA ONNN MAXIMUM!! LOL I have to keep my GA problem is I spam crouch and space bar. So I GA- Spacebar to slingshot or "Ping ball" effect to remain on ground movement vs GA Crouch to consistently remain in the off ground to perform Air mobility. Lol take both enough to practice movement range 🤣
Yo I made these minor changes including I swap my primary yellow beam as my secondary to prioritize damage boosting jas resulted in 2500-3200k coming from a 200-500dmg per round. Amazingly unbelievable 👏 👌 😳 Thank you for this ! 🙏🏼
Just recently started playing mercy and Iv had so much fun in comp even tho I’m a gold 3 shitter shooting for plat. Hopefully I’ll get their and many of your videos have helped me a lot.
Oh cool! I'm so glad you've been enjoying Mercy so far! And hey, Gold 3 is a great starting point, good luck getting plat and I'll keep putting out plenty more Mercy guides in the future to keep helping out!
It is pretty useful :D I specially do need to worry less about controls to guardian angel back and fort with these settings. So My focus is more on what's going on in the game than my keyboard. Thank you as usual for all these tips, makes it less troublesome to start out and get better. 😁Continue your videos ! They are awesome !
Nice! I just got a gaming laptop and used to play on xbox. I was a mercy main on xbox and swore immediately to my friends that controller was better for mercy after attempting heron default settings (mostly because I'm a pc noob and my pathetic pinky hated the shift guardian angel ctrl crouch combo). I'll give this a try as it makes a lot of sense. Looking forward to giving it a shot!
I personally use toggle beam on because it's easier for me to think about movement and other things, I don't really have too much of an issue with it tho probably because I've used it ever since I started mercy
Thank you so much for this! I have been struggling with her fluidity with mostly the default setting especially with hovering over the death pits lol (In OW1 I was a good mercy) and I am going to fix my settings!
No problem! I'm happy to help and changing your settings should help A LOT with her fluidity (and the death pits, Prefer Facing Target is just too good)
See the thing is I’m on console so I use a controller. I’m so used to toggle beam on and toggle ga on that turning them off is uncomfy and it is true that I do struggle to switch between other team mates but it is easier to switch between heal beam and dmg boost if I use toggle on. This also allows me easier way to perma fly and super jump
One downside I've noticed with toggle GA off is that basically all other movements abilities I use are tap toggles (I.e soldier sprint, Dva boosters, etc.), so I find myself accidentaly canceling it a lot of time. I got so used to toggle GA is there any added benefit using release cancel over tap cancel? I guess the best way to phrase this is the added benefit of toggle off worth unlearning my muscle memory? 😅
Imo it is but also I can't remember who but one of the other top500 mercys suggests toggle on because it makes staying in the air slightly easier in their opinion. Honestly, whatever you pick, you'll get used to it particularly if you're playing lots of mercy. I'm used to toggle off and the video from the other mercy main suggested toggle on but toggle on to me feels less fluid and i find myself holding down the ga button even though it's set to toggle
@@rivercrystal2511 I'm kinda struggling too. I'm going to try out both and see which works best for me, but I'm so used to having toggle on that I will often let go shortly before doing slingshot, and just stay on the ground as a result
I don’t know if I just need to overload my brain to play at my best, but having toggle GA on actually HELPED me from using GA poorly or forgetting to let go to stop 😅. The extra input forces me to think about my GA more and helped me stop using it unnecessarily. Just how the adhd made my brain function I suppose lol
Hah, I feel you with the ADHD brain function, it helps for me to have a bunch of active inputs that I have to be thinking about as well as focusing on what's going on in the match itself. Toggle GA off is better for GA's responsiveness but sometimes if you're really used to a setting or it's how your brain functions then it's just what works better for you :>
Just chiming in to share my mercy keybinds for console (ps/xbox): Heal beam: R2/RT; Dmg boost: R1/RB; guardian angel: L2/LT; Jump: L1/LB; Crouch: R3/ RS; and finally Ressurect: X/A. i've also use guardian angel on L3/LS; crounch on R1/RB and dmg boost on L2/LT for a while if that seems better :)
I’m on PS4 and my settings was : Heal beam (R2) Dmg boost (L2) Guardian angel (R1) Resurrection (X) Jump (L1) Crouch (L3) And for changing weapons (R3) My healing and movement is fast and smooth but the downside of this build I have difficulty’s on quickly Dmg boosting different targets at the same time and also I don’t have a melee button.
thanks for the video it really helps a lot since i’m not really a new mercy main but needed alittle more flexibility with mercy since the new overwatch 2 came out ❤️
You don’t believe how much this helped me. Seriously. And thanks a lot for explaining it all together. I knew most of the stuff, but having it all nicely said and in one place is so much easier!
i have toggle beam on since i play on Xbox and holding down the trigger buttons hurts the fingers, i don't feel any of the clunkiness but then again i'm used to it. i also can't float with a controller, it's literally impossibly to hold B or A and move the camera. i've tried having crouch on toggle and while that does help it's very awkward, you have to press B again cause if you don't you won't be able to super jump with B. i swear though i remember having my damage boost on LT and and LT still letting me float in OW1 but i can't seem to find a setting for that so maybe i'm miss remembering that.
I put jump/float on LT which makes it much easier to stay in the air if needed. I also have my middle finger on LT and my index finger on LB for GA and even though it was a bit straining at first, my movement has gotten so much better.
At least for me when I super jump LB for GA then I use B that’s meant to be crouch to jump up and boom super jump and now I do not have to bother to hold the heal/dmg boost button and to float for me is pressing A and then I super jump again to perma fly. I got used to that so suddenly having to hold the ga button is weird and constantly holding RB or RL for heal/dmg boost is uncomfy and kinda harder to switch to. And even then i think it’s harder to super jump without having toggle beam on and having toggle ga off.
I have my GA toggle on and tbh I never knew that you could change it. I'm not sure about changing it now. I've never had a problem with it so changing it now would be like, fixing an issue that didn't need fixing. But also it would totes mess with my muscle memory. I'm so used to tapping the shift for that GA and then giving another tap to end it.
Mercy has so many settings that you can change. I can understand being hesitant to change settings when it's been so long and you're so used to it. I used Toggle GA ON for my first 300 Mercy hours then swapped to OFF and it took some time to get comfortable with it but it was definitely a good decision for me. I'd give it a try if you're interested in it and if it doesn't work on you can always change it back ^^
@@Skiesti I’ll have to give it a go. Though it will likely take ages for me to get used to it. But one of my fave things about Mercy is how uniquely mobile she is and when mastered her mobility can get her p much anywhere. So I’d love to optimise that aspect. Also, sorry to be a massive nerd, but omg fangirling right now that you replied to me. You and Niandra are my two fave Mercy coaches and your videos have helped me out so much. ☺️
@@generallykaiden Good luck! It'll take time so try to be patient when you're getting used to it, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it :> And no need to apologize at all! That is so super sweet of you. I try to respond to as many comments as I can as long as I can think of something to say 💛
@@Skiesti I remember this conversation and 8 months on I haven't looked back! imo having GA toggle on was instrumental to getting the most out of Mercy's mobility in season 3. I miss the boosted healing at below half health so so much :( I wish they had just nerfed it instead of getting rid of it completely.
Prefer Facing Target should DEFINITELY be the default, no idea why it isn't. I don't know how many times I've struggled and died trying to fly/GA toward an ally in front only to go to the ally behind me that I was healing/boosting. Some settings I don't really agree on like Toggle Beam Off because.. I can react fast enough to stop by pressing shift again and I know I'd make more mistakes with holding shift down. Plus, it would take time to get used to.. it's just a preference thing. But for Guardian Angel Target Priority? Facing Target is the best thing to do. Also, since I keep my melee on Mouse Button 4, I have crouch on my Left Alt key. But that said.. crouch being on the mouse side buttons (if you have them) is pretty smart for Mercy. However, these were my settings before Overwatch had custom settings for specific Heroes, so I'm already used to this set up. If I was a newer Mercy player, I would do that.
I would really love to have TOGGLE GA off but my fingers and left hand would most likely cramp so bad from holding down the shift key. I love how it stops the GA instantly instead of it’s counter part. Does anyone have any recommendations for this? I use TOGGLE GA ON 🥺
Okay so I actually never used to get fatigue in my left hand or cramps or anything but with her new movement, my left hand has to be much more active and there's been some slight cramping now? But I can't imagine trying to do all of that new movement stuff and having to press Shift twice. I feel like that would be worse. But the only recommendation I could give is the stretch your hands more often and take breaks or use some kind of wrist support
personally i find it a lot more comfortable having GA on F (my interact is middle mouse instead) while i have crouch double bound on left alt and a mouse button. Probably doesn't work for everyone but works wonders for me 😅
@@Skiesti Thank you for the help! I’m probably gonna have to keep it on because tapping the key instead of holding it is more comfortable for my hand! I also tried it with off and I love the feel, maybe one day I can try again!
so im trying your settings, if i turn guardian angel toggle off, then how do you use crouch to get up high as youre supposed to use shift + crouch to go up?
i have toggle off as well, its just what i prefer. and i have this issue where my fingers just cannot do shift + ctrl very well. thats why i basically never play mercy sadly. i couldnt superjump in ow1 and still cant lol
I wish i can use toggle ga off but i dont have a gaming mouse so i have to click contorl and shift at the same time and it is annoying.. Can u show your sensitivity?
Depends on the setting you have. You can be using either beam when you're GA'ing. If you have Toggle Beam OFF you need to hold it down while you GA/SJ and if you have Toggle Beam ON you can just tap it and then go. You might be running into the problem where, if you're using ON, you're tapping DMG boost and then SJ'ing but you should be able to tap the other button without problem. A clip might allow me to help you better if you have one!
My problem i'm having is,i can't heal or boost team mates when i want to superjump,it disconnects the beam since my crouch is on mouse 4. and it's just doesn't register if i click it or hold it while using my beam too! or that's normal?
Double check if you have toggle beam on or off to know if you should be clicking it or holding it and also check if you have toggle crouch on or off? If your heal/boost is on M1/M2 and crouch is M4, it shouldn't be disconnecting since that's what I use and it doesn't disconnect for me It might be easier to tell what's going on if you showed me a clip if possible?
do u know why when there’s 2 rounds in an ow match in the second round it always removes the health bar above teammates? it only shows in the first round 😭
Thank you so much for this great video!!! Is there any particular reason you dont use capslock?? Is Lctrl just easier for you personally?? I love all of ur videos
So normally I just crouch with M4 now but I have LCtrl still bound if I want to do a Crouch SJ. Laying my pinky over Shift and LCtrl (so that the top of my pinky is on Shift and the bottom joint hits LCtrl) is much easier than trying to use Caps Lock and Shift at the same time without accidentally hitting other keys below them (like the Windows key)
Hi! Thank you for sharing these things with us 😊 I have one question, could you explain why the option “show friendly outlines” is useful for healers? I was trying this setting the other day but I didn’t feel any difference in gameplay
I think I want to try changing my bindings to be more like yours. Having GA on mouse button is good but crouch and Rez probably need to be changed. I also need to increase my sensitivity
Crouch on mouse button has been a GOD SEND for me with the new movement. I didn't used to have my movement on a mouse button and I would highly recommend putting crouch on the mouse button
@@Skiesti I'm trying to learn using movements on mouse buttons but it's still hard (I hope it will be easier after more and more training). I bind crouch to the same mouse button as you, and I bind GA to the other mouse button. I really struggle with it because my right hand has to deal with movements, heal and dmg boost which is hard. Is it worth training with these settings? I've been thinking of binding jump instead of GA on the other mouse button so everytime I use GA I can choose between jump or crouch without pressing both or something.
Is there a way to make crouch not activate her hover passive? I hate when i try to do her bounce cleanly and accidentally hover a bit too high cuz i held ctrl and get picked. also teabaging and jumping to mess with snipers usually ends in me accidentally hovering for a second and getting insta one tapped.
For sure! I use 1400 DPI and 30 in game sens. It's incredibly high so that I can look around easily but also I have a habit of barely moving my mouse so it works well for me
Sorry but I've ever seen more bullshit settigs. I literally was unable to play this hero, my team probably thought I'm mentally challenged or something.
FINALLY updated the Mercy settings guide! If you have any questions about her settings, feel free to ask!
Whats ur crosshair for her
I’m sorry to ask if it’s posted somewhere but do you have your DPI and in game mouse sensitivity setting available to share? :3
I would recommend for people who struggle with their team/enemy awareness to play with Toggle Beam ON. It helps to get rid of the "gotta look at the person I'm healing" mentality by removing one of the active inputs and frees up juuuust enough of a corner in your brain to focus on one less task. Both settings have their upsides and downsides, I swap between them frequently depending on my mood.

I wish i can use toggle ga off but i dont have a gaming mouse so i have to click contorl and shift at the same time and it is annoying.. Can u show your sensitivity?
How do you sj while using healing beam? Whenever I try it, it doesn’t work - meaning I have to switch to damage boost then switch back.
Just keep holding whatever button it is u heal with while beam is connecting. Thats how it should work
Depends on the setting you have. You can be using either beam when you're GA'ing. If you have Toggle Beam OFF you need to hold it down while you GA/SJ and if you have Toggle Beam ON you can just tap it and then go.
You might be running into the problem where, if you're using ON, you're tapping DMG boost and then SJ'ing but you should be able to tap the other button without problem. A clip might allow me to help you better if you have one!
So what about super jumps with it off on pc I'm not sure how to do it
With guardian angle toggle off
I'd recommend watching this if you haven't: th-cam.com/video/mAqWz0KuuPI/w-d-xo.html
All of this is done w/ toggle GA off
I did not realise I was using toggle ga lol
I might just switch soon
My problem i'm having is,i can't heal or boost team mates when i want to superjump,it disconnects the beam since my crouch is on mouse 4. and it's just doesn't register if i click it or hold it while using my beam too! or that's normal?
Double check if you have toggle beam on or off to know if you should be clicking it or holding it and also check if you have toggle crouch on or off?
If your heal/boost is on M1/M2 and crouch is M4, it shouldn't be disconnecting since that's what I use and it doesn't disconnect for me
It might be easier to tell what's going on if you showed me a clip if possible?
do u know why when there’s 2 rounds in an ow match in the second round it always removes the health bar above teammates? it only shows in the first round 😭
why is my toggle connection off and it’s still like kinda on even tho it’s off.. help me pls
Thank you so much for this great video!!! Is there any particular reason you dont use capslock?? Is Lctrl just easier for you personally?? I love all of ur videos
So normally I just crouch with M4 now but I have LCtrl still bound if I want to do a Crouch SJ. Laying my pinky over Shift and LCtrl (so that the top of my pinky is on Shift and the bottom joint hits LCtrl) is much easier than trying to use Caps Lock and Shift at the same time without accidentally hitting other keys below them (like the Windows key)
does your mouse sensitivity matter? if so what would you recommend?
Hi! Thank you for sharing these things with us 😊 I have one question, could you explain why the option “show friendly outlines” is useful for healers? I was trying this setting the other day but I didn’t feel any difference in gameplay
I keep 'show friendly outlines' on because it allows me to notice my teammates better because of the outlines making the teammates stick out more
@@Skiesti Thank you!
I think I want to try changing my bindings to be more like yours. Having GA on mouse button is good but crouch and Rez probably need to be changed. I also need to increase my sensitivity
Crouch on mouse button has been a GOD SEND for me with the new movement. I didn't used to have my movement on a mouse button and I would highly recommend putting crouch on the mouse button
@@Skiesti I'll probably move GA to shift so I can do that 👀
@@kireinaa_4417 I'd definitely recommend that :>
@@Skiesti I'm trying to learn using movements on mouse buttons but it's still hard (I hope it will be easier after more and more training). I bind crouch to the same mouse button as you, and I bind GA to the other mouse button. I really struggle with it because my right hand has to deal with movements, heal and dmg boost which is hard. Is it worth training with these settings? I've been thinking of binding jump instead of GA on the other mouse button so everytime I use GA I can choose between jump or crouch without pressing both or something.
what in game sensitivity for mercy is the best?
thank you so much
Is there a way to make crouch not activate her hover passive? I hate when i try to do her bounce cleanly and accidentally hover a bit too high cuz i held ctrl and get picked. also teabaging and jumping to mess with snipers usually ends in me accidentally hovering for a second and getting insta one tapped.
No, they built it into her kit that crouch activates Angelic Descent and there's not a way to disable that unfortunately
@@Skiesti TwT gag thats yucky,,, hopefully they add it as a lil quality of life update at some point
Is “prefer facing target” for Guardian Angel new to overwatch 2?? I could’ve sworn that never existed in overwatch 1
Nope, it's not new, it was introduced in Overwatch 1 in 2020
@@Skiesti woww I cannot believe I’ve been going years without using this… well thank you for bring it to my attention!! To one mercy main to another
When I changed my settnings i couldent fly high how can u?? Like tf help?? Im freaking out
What other chars do you play? Like in DPS or tank? Im just curious ❤️
I don't play tank at all because it's not really my thing but I enjoy playing Ashe, Widow, Hanzo, Tracer, Sojourn
Great Video!
May i ask what ur sense is ingame and your dpi on the mouse ?^_^
My in game sens changes from between 25-35 and my DPI is 1600
I think you already have the best settings. Eevee used them too i think
I've been using these settings since Guardian Angel Target Priority became a thing and they're the settings I recommend to others if they can
@@Skiesti Yeah. I always like as much control with mercy as possible. What do you think about the mercy changes in ow2?
What is your sensitivity at and dpi?
30 in game sens and 1600 DPI
can i ask what your sensitivity is?
My in game sens changes from 25-35 but my DPI always stays 1600
Beam sens 100, GA target sens 100 (in case you mean this one)
@@Skiesti tyy
Does this work for console also?
It should, her settings work the same on both
@@Skiesti which ability is the reviving on mercy
For me, Toggle Beam Connection ON is much better for Console (which is what I play on)
Hello! Could you please tell us your sens with Mercy? 🥰
For sure! I use 1400 DPI and 30 in game sens. It's incredibly high so that I can look around easily but also I have a habit of barely moving my mouse so it works well for me
jeez seeing you use ga is making me realise wow I’m playing mercy wrong, hah. You’re nearly constantly in the air
Omg I’ve been pronouncing your name as “Sky-stee” I never knew you pronounced it “Ski-esti” (the way it’s written😅)
LMAO it's okay, a lot of people mispronounce my name
Sorry but I've ever seen more bullshit settigs. I literally was unable to play this hero, my team probably thought I'm mentally challenged or something.
They are advanced settings. You're not going to learn how to leverage them overnight.
