13 nerfs aint "in a good spot"

I mean, You asked for it.

You’ve hit the nail on the head if we pretend you aren’t being sarcastic.

It is exactly that. Valkyrie is completely outclassed by its ultimate counterparts. Supercharger is a 50% amplifier over a larger area and it affects 6 players rather than 5. Transcendence heals at six times Valkyrie’s healing rate, allowing it to actually combat enemy ultimates and focus fire.

Neither Transcendence nor Supercharger turn the player into a spectator for 15 seconds.

@Titanium-1686

That’s why her healing averages have remained roughly the same, and for a while, lower than pre-rework; before, she had an ultimate that allowed members of her team to come back into the fight, providing her more opportunities for healing. If used to revive 4+ players, it practically doubled the amount of healing she dealt in that engagement, as the teams effectively fought two fights.

Valkyrie’s healing is spread out and impotent. A decent Mercy would perform about the same in keeping the team alive with or without Valkyrie. The only real bonus Valkyrie provides in regards to healing is mitigation of stray fire, and that isn’t a huge deal in the first place. Focus fire cuts through that rate of healing like butter (especially in high tiers), and the team gets wiped regardless. This time, there isn’t a Resurrect to teammates back from that and bump up Mercy’s healing numbers.

@Titanium-1686

Let’s add some perspective. What if Soldier:76’s ultimate were so weak that it is more worth shooting at his teammates rather than him?

Sure, it’s supposed to help the team win a fight… but does it really do that? A Graviton Surge into a team using Valkyrie would end exactly the same as a Graviton Surge into a team that never used Valkyrie.

@Titanium-1686

Or maybe it’s actually a pretty garbage ultimate. I was a GM Mercy main before I stopped playing and… well, I hold that opinion too.

Why I Have Yet to Not Despise Mercy's Current State

Hello! You all know why I’m here by this point. This is my 5th thread on this topic, and as you can see, I’m not limited in thread title variations. Great news, though! I got bored of my previous text on top of the fact that I had lots of time to think while on vacation, so I’m writing this entire thing from scratch!

Resurrect

Let’s dive straight into this. Balance! Or… Lack Thereof: Resurrect is currently the reason Mercy is imbalanced. How so, you might ask, citing Mercy’s Resurrect stati…

Your entire write up about valk in this.

@Titanium-1686

Are you going to read the rework proposal of not?

You can also quit the smart act. I already told you I agree with it. You’re actually getting defensive and just arguing to argue yet again.
