Please, just stop doing that. It’s horrible. No one benefits from it- no matter how goated your team. Always do a flex and main support- and if you don’t know how to do that? YOU SHOULDN’T BE QUEUEING SUPPORT in COMP. You should know how to play a good variety of supports to help your team. For instance, I know how to play Bap, Ana, Illari, Kiriko, Zen, Mercy, and Moira (EZ)- that way, I can COMPLIMENT the random support on my team.
If someone locks mercy, my god- learn someone else. I have defeated so many skilled players because their support comp is horrible. The common denominator in my losses on tank has been support combinations. I always win with a main + flex support. EVEN the weirdest Brig + Lucio somehow works. Even when the Ana lands 30% of her shots I win. EVEN With dps who can’t hit anything. I win with an actual support comp… BUT- the LW and Mercy combo is the nail in the coffin for me. Especially when the enemy team has a good combo going. It makes or breaks your whole team.
It makes your Tank’s life horrible, your DPS’s life horrible. Please- just learn Ana, Bap, Kiri, heck even Illari. JUST DONT DO A WEIRD AF SUPPORT COMBO. Rant done- and to those who insist on it, you make your team’s lives hell.

Mercy/weaver combo works if the two actually play instead of healbotting.
Mercy’s dps is actually higher than illari’s and kiriko’s if you don’t land headshots on any of them.
Lifeweaver’s dps is top 2 highers dps in the support roster
The two only suck if they healbot. An aggressive lifeweaver with a mercy who doesn’t hesitate to finish off low health enemies and shoot when no one needs healing is actually nicely avarage.
Any 2 supports suck as a combo if they purely healbot. I’ve lost games with an ana/mercy support line where neither had any damage dealt.

As with all comps in CAN work.
But if your other support insta locks mercy and your immediate thought is “oh lifeweaver will do” you are not blessed with any level of intelligence.

Brig + Lucio used to be my favorite in ow1. While I agree that LW + Mercy isn’t the best thing, it can still work in some situations. You have one trick players who can adapt to different situations.
Certain heroes are more appealing to different players. I play this game for fun so I’m going to play the heroes that I enjoy to play while trying to win.

Exactly, just had recently a game where I was Mercy and we had LW in my team and that worked pretty well.
LW was mainly healing and me mainly flying from one side to another with Mercy Glock.
That went well, LW did good amounts of heal and me some kills, some heal, some resurrects… we won and I think we were both a good value to our team (I received 3/4 endorsements surely they were happy). I can even post replay code that was very recently: G064DR
Since I got used to use Mercy Glock instead being full healer, Mercy got much more funnier now, and damn, getting a POTG with Mercy, that really makes my day.
