84 days left for Mercy to die with OW1

Enjoy playing it in OW1, in 84 days it will be horrible and completely rubbish in OW2 seeing the trajectory it follows in the betas :frowning:

R.I.P Mercy, 2016 - 2022.

There is very little hope that the devs will see the light and end up fixing she in OW2.

In the end nothing really changed hehe

It’s honestly impressive how with each attempt to make SJ into an ability, it’s been worse each and every time. :slight_smile:
You love to see a bug being more balanced and functional then actual attempts at implementing it.

Why are people so dramatic about this? Like I’m not optimistic about the betas really but they’re still making changes and doing stuff. I’m also not so sure this change has “utterly destroyed and gutted her making her the worst possible pick out of any character in gaming history” like people are making it seem.
I’m hearing the same exact stuff about Mei just less of it because there’s apparently a very small number of Mei mains.

It’s more of beta 1 had done promising outcomes that needed to be tweaked with the “easier access SJ” to prevent issues like infinite skybox. I mean KarQ ranked at A/B for beta 1z

Beta 2…they took like ten steps back to the point where it hurt her GA. It hindered a bit of her basic gameplay. She dropped to D when KarQ did his beta 2 ranks. And that version of SJ opened a whole new slew of techs using that gif people who might not have been able to use OG SJ a lot came to the agreement of tweaking it and make it a toggle would be another option.

This one however ruins her flow even more by her NEEDING to look away from her team. The meter is unreliable for distance or height. It trashed bunny hop/sling shot (ya know the whole patch that started SJ). And all around just incredibly messy to use.

Heck watching Aquaboost (who’s a T500 support player-yes they main Mercy but they do play other supports) said that the constant needing to flick the camera upward was causing them a headache where they got disoriented a few games cause of it.

I mean yeah it might be bad but I don’t know why so many people think it’s just gonna be this way forever

Eh think it’s cause of how it was worded (not the patch note but the post prior). Also this is the last patch of beta 2 so it’s ending on a sour note. We’re not sure if this change is gonna carry over into beta 3.

Mercy died when mass res was removed :disappointed:

Probably because nothing in the game has really changed in the past 3 years. Now they’re just tossing the game into the trash to compensate for the 3 years of laziness and neglect.

Is it really that difficult? I’m not even a Mercy main, but it seems very simple to me.

[Mercy] Rebalance with these changes

Yeah, I already am working on withdrawling from the game and finding other titles to play.

After the whole “either give us a mobile number or go punch trees in minecraft” thing from the devs. I called it quits. I know its supposed to be their “supposed action of curtailing smurffs” in a round-a-bout cheep-skate fashion but in all fairness this whole “overwatch 2” thing has been the biggest slap-in-the-face to Blizzard fans.

This time around I’d give it a year and a half and we will see a For Sale Sign up on Blizzard studios in Irvine and fleabay auctions to liquidate their building.

If Microsoft is buying this company, they’d better cut n run just like Elon Musk did on Twitter… beacuse the joke’s on them (Microsoft). They just bought a car with no engine :stuck_out_tongue: .

If they want to bring this live on October 4, they will lose a lot of players, main mercy, flex supports, etc., with each patch it gets worse. READ YOUR PLAYERS DEVS!!

The more and more changes they make … the worse they do.

I’d hate to be a dev on this game. It’s so messy… and not fixable

Personally, I find the last change is just fine.

No, it’s a joke in bad taste, it kills Mercy even more and turns she into more garbage, how much did cost use the first beta and now or leave it as in OW1?

Mercy Players are so dramatic.

Super Jump was a bug they decided to leave in the game so mercy could feel 2% more skilled than she is. The beta 1 changes were not good and the broken beta 2 changes were worse. After playing her right now in OW2 I think the changes are great. She has good directional mobility, and being able to hold a backward input and go backward is really useful. Just because you can’t fly into the skybox anymore doesn’t mean she’s dead. You are already playing a non-FPS hero in a team-based FPS game, and the least skilled support at that.

People will do a lot of complaining and at the end of the day not realize that they are playing the lowest skilled heroes in the game and expecting the devs to focus on them instead of the bigger issues at hand. Moira finally got a change that improves her kit to be more skillful and people are still complaining about it because they see videos of ults being completely negated. (Which I think will get nerfed a bit anyways) But people have to keep in mind it’s a beta. There are a million other games you can play instead of overwatch. Or play any of the other 31 heroes in the game!

OW2 is only out in October, and it’s not a final release anyway. There are likely many more changes to come before and during.

As a 200h+ Mercymain, this change now is awesome. Hope you bring this on the live servers before October 4th

Or just leave superjump alone and continue to allow Mercy players to enjoy playing Mercy without having to adapt to meaningless changes for no reason as superjump was never an issue/concern to begin with and is probably one of the least complained about things in Overwatch! :clown_face:
