I have been metal stuck for a very long time, I really want to climb through the ranks and figure out how exactly to be a better support player. I thought that I did well this game besides making a few risky moves that didn't pay off. I am wondering if I was making the right moves/diving in with the right people. I would also really like positioning advice!

ok! so, let's get this vod review a cooking!
first off, this really isnt a good comp for mercy. youre not gonna be pocketing sombra, which kinda leaves reaper as your primary pocket. not a super good pocket, but it's do-able i guess. Just looking at ur comp, lw should be taking care of orisa, youre gonna be taking care of reaper, and sombra will be split between the both + healthpacks. I dont rlly wanna see you pocketing orisa, but we'll see what happens.
(0:50) so far, you're pre-healing your orisa, i'd like to see you use your blue beam more. a side note, you coulda helped your reaper out here too. as soon as i saw cass nade on him, i would try to help him out until he fades out. orisa is fine with lw heals.
(1:20) I dont like this rez. your team is dead. you should either 1) die fast, or 2) if youre slippery enough, ga slingshot off the lw soul and try to find some cover/hide. (now ur staggered.)
I want you to default to blue beam first. esp during pre-fight/poke. it could possibly convert a kill, but it is what it is. y'all are still down, so i dont think that pushing up with your rein is the play. not saying you shold leave him alone. but yall need to group up. and are still staggering.
(2:26) if you wanted to valk, i think you shoulda insta-valked. the rez isnt really my fave again, bc you lose ur reaper and your lw. so its just you and rein again. which yall should die for tbh. I dont think that valk heals woulda saved him, but, if you wanted to use it. you should have popped it instantly.
(3:30) db death blossom!!! or honestly like any ult. if you hear anyone ult, ad its a dmg ult, make it a habit to db it.
(4:14) just a lil nit picky, but you coulda rezed lw sooner. doesnt matter, and it was safe regardless, but still. also, i just want you be be more aware of the rest of your team. lw didnt have to die here
(1/?)
(4:37) you had enough time to go behind the bot and not die to cass ult. with high noon esp, I LOVE using the bot as cover so he cant shoot me. you just stood there and accepted ur fate. plz dot do that. you dying there lost you that fight.
(5:29) not a bad valk. helps you keep up your team. just rememeber that orisa ult is acc a cylinder, if she finished it sooner, you woulda been dead. with valk your beam is doubled, so you dont have to be super close to your team.
Not sure why your lw went zen here? he's main heals. I probbers would switch to kiri so your team doesnt lack some type of main healer. tbh i probs wouldve started off as kiri. she fills the team comp out a bit better than mercy.
(6:40) my toxic trait is that i wouldve gone for this rez. i think you had enough time to get it off and live. your zar had a bubble. so if you pinged, she couldve bubbled you to make it even more safer.
ngl i really wanna see you switch to kiri here. if you dont know how to play kiri, rn is the best time to learn with mercy being suuuuuper dog lol.
with you having a lw back, torb becomes your main pcoket. you should be playing more with him. also, beam is like 15 meters. you dont need to bebasically kissing your team. you can play a bit further back use that beam length.
(8:01) I wouldve valked sooner. by the time you do your lw and zar are safe, making this kinda a bad valk. we love a good katrina moment tho!
(8:50) you should be playing with torb, and you should especially be db his ult.
(9:00) if that petal wasnt there you woulda been dead lol
(9:20) instead of super jumping cass ult, slingshot into the door/room or try to get behind the bus stop cover. you super jumping extra killed you.
(2/3)

ultimately, I want you to work on:
learning when to switch off mercy. Kiri would have done wonders here. honestly, you could even make brig or moira work in this situation too.
Having more restraint with rez. A lot of your rezzes caused your team to stagger themselves, making it so that you dont have that many ore team fights.
pushing db more!! mercy is not a main healer. esp in her current state. if you want to have a more healing centric playstyle, play kiri. Also, learning who are your pocket options. you shouldnt be pocketing the tank as mercy. you should be pocketing a dps. not to say that you shouldnt heal or db tanks. but its more situational than almost perma beaming your tank.
Hope this helped ❤️

thank you! this is definitely helpful! i get what you mean by staggering the team but usually i overestimate their survivability for the 2 seconds i’m trying to bring them up to get the team fight back. is there a good rule of thumb to use in those situations or is it more something i need to learn on a situational basis?
