I hope they do. I want them to take the hero and say “How would we design Mercy if she was a brand new hero for season 2 of 5v5” and modernize her. I don’t care if Rez is removed entirely, if she becomes more DPS oriented, etc.

It is not autoaiming.
It’s aim requirement is only slightly looser than Moira’s beam. Extremely easy to hit, but still missable on dashy targets.

She has one of the worse risk-reward ratios in the game. I’ll say it again: 5v5 increases risk across the board for everyone, and not every hero got more ‘reward’ to counterbalance that. Mercy is the most egregious example of that in the support role.
We’ve discussed potential changes for Mercy to death already. Slap one charge of instant rez as the second Q press for Valk and give her a new E-ability. She is seriously lacking in the reward department, and ults aren’t that frequent anymore, so she won’t need a counter nerf… especially one that destroys her playstyle.

You don’t, but they know majority of mercy mains will scream if they touch her.
Yeah this is how it felt to play Moira in OW1
Sorry y’all going through that and I hope it doesn’t get as bad as it was when playing Moira on OW1. Some of the things I’ve seen said to some Moira players is outright terrifying.
And there were times people were offering payment for information on someone… and nothing was ever done about it, I still have a bunch of screenshots from those multiple incidents too because I worried for the people involved

I play Mei for the first time in OW2. Boy the toxicity was unimaginable

i think theres a song about that
Well, it would be nice if people played to Mercy’s strengths, and didn’t just implant themselves in the Tank’s rear like a discount Moira.
Oh i expect it to increase due to the lack of damage output from her…
I warned early on that her gimped damage is impossible for her kit to make up for…

And she is very bad in GM and the top players are very vocal about it. Telling me I don’t play in OWL as if that changes the fact that she’s bad in GM too lmao.
Me when I can use Google:
lul
I would love if she could shoot out damage shots from her staff by hitting the R key, so you dont have to swap to pistol

I feel the same with widow, Genji, Hanzo, Zenyata and Brig picks…
I’ve had success with echo playing with doomfist and mercy, some low tier picks with enough synergy
Mercy needs a buff on her HPS and raise her max life. Those are a must. Mercy is a candy to the new flankers.
Also is a VERY bad balance that the rest of healer heal the same, or more, than her while most of them can also dona lot of damage. Since Mercy is easy to kill and focus on heal most of the time, she should heal better. Is balance
Also an option may be change her buff damage bean into something like Symmetra 1.0 beam and do damage (and erase her pistol finally xD)
With the current crazy damage, movility and deathmach , the time you need to change from the staff to the pistol is enough to get you killed 5 times by a flanker xD

Honestly she does die way faster now. The new GA changes and nerf to her regen have made her way more squishy to dive

Pre ow2 she was fine. I reached GM and even T500 with her
Bruh what? In my games Mercy is a must pick, she can fly everywhere now and the rez is just broken irreplaceble ability, i feel unconfident whenever i dont have Mercy in the team.
I was masters in ow1, what rank are you at? What is the best duo healers in comp now in your opinion? Iam very curious of your opinion because games with Mercy always feels better and easier.

In OW2 I find her useless. And this is coming from a hardcore mercy main. I am running baptista and kiriko hard on this game now.

I suspect that it’ll be rough for quite a while. The support LoS issues in OW2 hurt Mercy the most and it looks like the devs would rather create new heroes that bypass the problem instead of actually dealing with it.

i wouldnt be surprised if the toxicness over it is because of owl which has ruined this game but kotick doesnt seem to care as hes as worthless at they are
