I went 7-3 on Friday night. I played various characters, Solider, Mercy, and Orisa. Ended up at 1600 now I have to grind to get to gold at least this season.

I haven't played Competitive since Season 1, where my high was 54 and I think I ended somewhere in the high 40's. After my placement matches I got put into medium gold and now I'm hovering around 2300. I feel good about myself but according to Overbuff I'm still below average. Where is "average?" Low plat?
Also I main tanks (Roadhog, Winston, Reinhardt) and am decent with supports (Lucio, Mercy, Symmetra) if anyone ever wants to squad up.

Blizzard has said that average is about 2400-2500. Overbuff will overstate average skill because the population that uses the site skews towards more serious players.

Seagull taking out Pharmercy with ease
Seagull making PharaMercy look like no big deal which I believe is so, but at lower levels it's a huge problem. I know myself just spamming wings on Mercy at Silver makes for me being impossible to be killed unless I fuck up myself.

Lol. Yeah focusing the Mercy first really make this simpler. They can be a pain in plat. I just can imagine how dangerous a decent duo could be in lower tier.
I don't know why people constantly say this with low tier in the phrase. You can one trick Pharah to GM no problems.
Yeah, this just in: The Pharahs get better at the same rate you do as rank increases. The only reason they're not more popular is the skill ceiling on Tracer and Genji is higher.
Try going Zenyatta. If a Pharah is ripping apart your team just keep your Discord on Pharah and your Harmony on the Soldier. Granted you're investing a ton to tear the Pharah out of the sky but it is better than losing. Low-tier Pharahs are also really, really bad at movement in the air so Zen can usually pummel her down himself fairly well especially if you corner peek and charge up his orbs.

I usually just soldier/McCree the mercy, then the pharah. Only problem is when Pharah knows I'm her target and 100% focuses on me, but that at least relieves my team to 5v4 the rest of them and I hope they don't fucking suck. The "good" Pharah's I've seen in diamond/master/GM all basically stay wayyyyyyyy the fuck back and shoot until jets are down, then fly behind a building. Then jet back up and barrage the team from far again and hide again. Makes them less deadly, but incredibly hard to have time to kill them.
Top pharahs pepper from a distance and then dive their counters hard and hit direct rockets when they have an opening.
