I’m not surprised.
I’ve only been playing on PS4, and probably aound Plat as that’s historically my rank abouts, and I’ve been feeling like I’m doing more and getting less value at the same time.
Rez is especially egregious. I usually get more off in a match, but more are trades now. I may bring back my Genji, but my Kiriko died during the cast type of trades, which usually means unless the rezzed ally has a partial or full teamwipe in their pocket the fight hasn’t been levered back in my favor.
GA is weird. I feel like the meter has some rng type thing as I’m certain I keep going different distances/heights despite GAing for the same distance. Look to go has been useless for me, I’ve tried and only bonked into walls.
I really miss being able to split the difference with SJ/Slingshot. Get some elevation and distance, new GA feels too binary, either height or distance, and sometimes I need that bit of both.
Valk is… I dunno. Too long? Not oomph enough? Something.
I hope they do more than fiddle with her GA soon though.
Mercy was never going to work the minute they upset the on-release balance of support characters with characters like Moira and Ana. Raw healing output combined with targeted res just isn’t that useful and places way too much responsibility on Mercy’s team rather than herself.
And because res is itself so powerful there’s probably no fixing Mercy without radically restructuring her character.
Hard disagree. Zen Pharah and Zen Echo is much better than Mercy Pharah or Mercy Echo. When they picked Pharah Mercy in OWL the Casters were shocked that they picked Mercy over Zen. Then they lost.
At the level most people play at the only thing that hero choice matters for is how good you play your own hero. People asking you to swap off likely just want to blame something besides themselves. Mercy works just fine in QP. As long as you’re doing good and having fun no one else matters.
On the other hand Moira is too OP. I do like 15k (dmg+heals) in a match. Though i believe all the extra dmg doesn’t really make a difference in multiple comps and player skill levels. Zenyatta and ana on the other hand big team support kill potential.
So you’re post is confusing then. Because it sounded like you were complaining about people flaming you. Not complaining about Mercy’s supposed viability at high rank.
People are flaming me…because Mercy is a very bad pick, especially at the rank I play at.
People will stop flaming me, if Blizzard balances the hero so she is no longer a terrible pick.
I’m not upset at the people flaming me, because they are justified to want me to swap off Mercy. I want Blizz to buff Mercy so I don’t need to swap in the first place.
You can turn off your team chat and match chat and still play your favorite hero. Stop paying attention to players who do nothing in the game but only watching others gameplay and saying bad things about their gameplay. Why should you care about the opinion of someone you don’t know? If your tank and dps feeding most of the time in the match why u should pay attention to their opinion?
I playing in EU competitive most of my time on Mercy. Silver 1 - Gold 4. She is very fine on this rank. My average assist count is 24 per 10 min and heal done count is ~11600. I think its very good stats for average gold-plat player in the game.
I play Ana and Kirko. But I can still ask the Devs to balance this hero too! Wild how that works!
