Too many girls play this game. Probably 10 times more than any other game ever existed.
So I guess 20% of girls playing this game is too much.

Pretty much.

Women usually destroy guilds in WoW. These guys have faced a lot worse forces and yet women triumph above that.

Play healer in any game and you'll learn to hate your teammates. I don't even get mad anymore.

Women dont destroy guilds. Ita the toxic male environment who cant handle alittle bit femininity and destroys itself.

You're more than welcome to participate, it's just a fact that women are shit at video games.

delete this thread and neck yourself

support is always a role for bad players and women to play. usually requires no mechanical skill and for some reason they think it is the hardest role. if support mains were worth a damn then they would play a carry. OP pic is spot on.

"Why are there so many female Mercy mains?"

Why is this? Does anyone really care to know therealreasons?

Well, here they are (IMO):

1:Video games have traditionally been marketed towards boys, resulting in boys acquiring long term, transferable mechanical skills- Growing up in the 90's and early 2000's, most video games (especially shooters) were marketed towards boys, not girls. Think about what your gaming habits have been since you were a child? Lots of shooters? Many boys grow up learning shooter skills. So playing DPS (aiming intensive role) comes naturally. I'm 25 and I have never played a shooter before Overwatch despite having been gaming since I was 10. You'll find this is not uncommon with girl gamers. So what does one play when they want to contribute to the team and play with thier friends? You play something that does not require a skill that you never learned growing up in the


2:Gender schemas taught to boys vs girls from a young age- Boys are encouraged by society to be aggressive and enjoy competitive activities (physical and digital both). It's considered normal for boys to like these things. Girls on the other hand are generally socially conditioned to be caring, considerate, and nurturing, and to be demure rather than assertive. Guess what role in Overwatch allows girls to express these traits? Healers and support. I think this is why you see a higher percentage of women in support and healer roles in games like this, as well as MMOs, etc. (Edit: Other users have pointed out testosterone plays a role in making boys more aggressive and attracted to competitive activities, whereas the lack of it in women does allows them to naturally be less so.)

The same applies to Overwatch though.

It's because someone has to do it. It's not like playing support is harder or easier, it's just that you have different objectives

I don't really understand the hate for mercy mains, i'm just thankful somebody actually fucking picks a healer

>>381678617
I'm pretty sure with the right settings you could play mercy with your toes, so it is easier, in fact it is to easy and ruining the game

>>381678418
Pretty stale pasta.

1. Mercy
2. Widowmaker
3. D.Va
4. Pharah
5. Mei
6. Sombra
7. Tracer
8. Zarya
9. Symmetra
10. Ana

>most overrated bitch by far looks like a disgusting blueberry.

>>381678498
lol no. Playing mercy puts you at the mercy of your team completely. At least as something else you can maybe carry, but if your team is shit then you won't be going anywhere.

>>381678892
This is a list I can actually agree with but put young ana 3rd

Switch mercy and widow and this is a pretty coherent list.

>>381676940
When people who play mercy realize they can get potg for rezing a group, they hide away instead of helping the team. I fucking hate playing her or playing with people who "main" her. I usually play Lucio instead. He's a much better support hero, and his ult is better, too.

You people who go, ____ IS MY WIFE! and such need to seek help. I'm a major introvert with no friends and even I think you need to see a therapist.

Stop ruining video games you faggots.

i knew that i would get cancerous faggots squealing in my ear if i left voicechat on, that is why i literally immediately when i got the game turned the voice chat volume to 0

everything

The same things that have always been wrong:
A. People on your team aren't targeting the other team's healer.
B. People on the other team are actively targeting you.

This is especially true in OW because there are no gear advantages. Your goal should always be to take out good healers (ie no pocket healers or people who clearly aren't saving their team).

>>381678935
If you are a Silver player only Mercy can get you to gm.

Only if you are able to carry you can climb with dps.

And Mercy isn't bad. A great Mercy is around as good as the best Mercy. But a great Genji is shit compared to the best Genji. If you can't aim but aren't retarded, Mercy is the best choice.

>>381683138

I want to get good at Lucio but I can't seem to get into the groove (no pun intended). Something just feels off.

The fact that her healing ability is overshadowed by other healers, and is compensated with a gimmick ultimate.

>>381676940
she literally does nothing for the team in grandmaster-tier levels. Everytime I see a mercy pick in my GM level games, I will either tell her to pick a GOOD support or I will just throw because im in GM anyways I can do whatever the fuck I want and generally not lose it.
