So I guess I did better than expected in placement and got to 50, so my hidden MMR is 48 or whatever.
I feel like I'm better than that, but who doesn't? The moral to the story is, solo queue Mercy is a bad idea.
I got 46 and dropped to 45 last night. I'm pretty demoralized. I got bitched out last night when I was playing lucio by some premade team, I wasn't playing bad though. I'm done with support, it's totally thankless and you're a prime target for blame from salty ****ers when the game gets lost.
I can't even imagine solo mercy. Solo Lucio is painful enough and he's pretty much built for solo q'ing. She needs teammates that are aware of what boost they're getting and a fair amount of protection.

Then for your 3rd, play Lucio 1/10, Zarya 1/10, your new one 8/10.
I really need to do this because I basically play mercy 95% of the time as nobody picks healer.
Yea the problem is I've gotten so used to lucio's boop cannon that other guns fire kinda weird now. I guess the most compareable one is pharah's rocket launcher but I suck with her now even, and I used to do 50 kill games with her on the reg. I guess I'll do some quick play today. I'm really bummed out about how much I suck, in the beginning I feel like I was making great progress then something just happened.
Another problem I have is I reflexively mash Q every time I hear "LET THE DRAGON CONSUME YOU" or "HAMMER DOWN" even when I'm not lucio.
