A support patch is coming OMG

Not major nerf, however I do think she is overtuned

Around this time last year she was also the most picked hero in the entire game. She was only de-throned when Bap received massive buffs making him OP in the process

She is now back to #1

The reason I think Bap was made OP in the first place is because the devs were trying to allow him to compete with Ana. Which simply made him OP.

So nerf Ana and buff Bap to that lvl of power.

Dont get your hopes up brother, this is Mercy after all, tdgaf

Probably more ana buffs, lucio buff, etc.

Cool.

And I havenā€™t even cleaned up the visuals on it yet. Was planning on making an animated gif.

I doubt they will change Mercy because she doesnā€™t really need any changes.

Likewise if Moiraā€™s offense doesnā€™t get nerfed.

Considering what Jeff said, its likely all the stats (damage and healing wise) will be changed for Moira.

Really hoping for Mercy and Zen buffs. Interested to see the changes to Moira. Think everyone else is okay. Especially with the recent sleep change to Ana.

Except people on the forums donā€™t want a power shift and instead just whine for straight nerfs to her kit because ā€œWaah Moira killed me!!ā€

Hell they never even suggest anything and most of the time itā€™s literally just the complaining.

Nice straw man. Iā€™ve been saying the same thing over and over for a long time and Iā€™ve seen plenty of people agreeing with my sentiment. Iā€™ve literally seen time and time again people say they would want the hitbox lowered and other things could be buffed and people try to lie about their intentions just like youā€™re doing right now.

What usually happens is you and people like you try to derail the threads into an autolock argument or use some ad-hominem of people complaining about her balance being salty Genji players instead of acknowledging how unhealthy Moiraā€™s balance is for the game.

Training wheels crutch that bad players use because they like dumping on equally bad DPS players and completely falls off in usage once she reaches the ranks where players can actually aim. She was always badly balanced. Iā€™m glad the devs are attempting to fix the situation though, even if it comes at the expense of people who needed the crutch to feel good.

What do you mean by ā€œmore on Anaā€™s levelā€??? Itā€™s all skill dependent. Moira is better than Ana at low ranks, Ana is better than Moira at high ranksā€¦that means the heroes are working as intended. Lower skill heroes Should have a lower maximum output compared to higher skilled heroes. A higher skiller ceiling should = more output potential

To be fair both Baptiste and Mercy are also pretty skill dependent. Baptiste with mechanical aim and Mercy with positioning and movement. I think the both of them, especially Baptiste are underperformers even if the player using them is playing them at a high level.

I bet there will be no ana nerfs, no bap/zen/mercy buffs, brigitte nerfs and big moira nerfs that make her even worse than zenyatta. Calling it now since it would be typical of blizzard to do the complete opposite of what they should be doing.

I strongly suspect the damage nerf to Moira I have been predicting is coming finally in this patch, probably to Orb.

Iā€™m talking about supports, which they donā€™t listen to when it comes to feedback

From Jeffā€™s wording itā€™s highly likely itā€™s the hitbox of her vampiric grasp. Her orb really isnā€™t an issue despite the memes of 300iq bounces killing you while on low health.

Only strawman here is you as Iā€™ve literally made a thread on rebalancing her to be harder but higher output.

Constructive threads donā€™t gain much traction though since these people donā€™t want a solution, they want to complain until sheā€™s gutted.

You making a thread has nothing to do with you misrepresenting the argument of me and other players. Good day.

Sure does when the majority of the Moira threads are unconstructive spam that should be trash canned just like the Mercy reworked threads.

Either that or theyā€™ll dumpster both Ana and Moira, and give Baps and Zen crazy buffs so they can have ā€œtheir time in the meta.ā€

Either they balance entirely the wrong things or go WAY overboard. Or both.
