as a mercy main I’m insulted
No she didn’t she had an sr bug that was fixed EVERYONE does hide and ult.
The hide and res style that everyone did was just straight up bad gameplay
Purposefully staying out of the fight or purposefully letting teammates die is not a healthy state for a character to be in. It’s the opposite of what you’re supposed to be doing.

I like how you blatantly ignore that this was due to the SR exploit. Stop lying for a narrative that Rez mercy was some monster when she was F tier prior to the rework. Even the ringleader himself Seagull admitted she wasn’t a problem once he realized Moth Mercy was far worse.
Did I ever say it was a problem because she was “overpowered” or “winning too much”?
No, I said it was straight up bad game design

I love that you’re moving goal posts and changing words around because your argument fell apart. Mercy was fine with Mass Rez

Do you honestly think that a healer being incentivized by her team dying is a good design choice? Because that’s what mass res promoted whether you like it or not
A healer’s job is to keep the team alive. Mercy has a bonus that let’s her reverse a death. Mass res encouraged her to stop healing and just try to preserve herself so that she could prevent a team wipe.
That’s bad design for a healer. If you can’t see that then you aren’t trying to

I’d trade her Rez for a self-buff that increases her healing output at this point, or something, just so I have other options besides being tethered to one soul at a time and hope they aren’t taking unnecessary damage.
That moment when you realize Valk would have been a cool cooldown ability with the chain beams and such.
I have played like 2 hours total of old mercy meta (Yes I got overwatch literally 2 hours before her rework went to live on pc)
Didnt all she had to do was hide and rez???

Its a bad mechanic to me. Some Mercy players like being a flying umbilical cord, I cannot imagine it. Also, having a boosted player continuously is 1) just plain cheesy, and 2) denies fair healing to the rest of the team.
The writing made me laugh: Mercy 12 seconds, no healing ability 
It’s 12 seconds to heal a 600hp hero, but 10 seconds with 60hps in Valkyrie.

I mean… that IS what Mercy is for though. Instead of pocketing tanks like Ana or Moira does, she pockets the DPS. I agree that she probably needs buffs, but in order to do that she needs rez completely removed from her kit.
thing is, i don’t see the point for mercy to have to choose between using healing beam or pistol.
why not be able to have both? i mean she’s clearly not a fully fledged team healer, just looking at the current supports who can heal multiple people and much quicker seems to make mercy look like an off-healer at best.
honestly i feel like i’m doing more just having pistol out and GA around to help teammates take people out and then heal them/revive after the shoot out.
Well at least she could heal
She was NEVER incentivized pull your head out of your a**. Rez as an ability isn’t some magnum opus and mass rez was a hail mary attempt not a guarantee Hide and Rez was brough about as a SR exploit nothing more. Without it she was F tier because Mass Rez was so weak. Stop braying bad OW tuber ‘takes’
I’m not grabbing my info from youtubers, I’m taking my own expirience here
And it is incentivized to hide before a lost team fight if you can potentially reverse it. Like seriously, Mercy could hide and wait it out and hope her team won 5v6. If they didn’t, then she could swoop in, bring them back, and try a second time with a 6v6 now.
And people did that and told others to do that. It doesn’t matter how successful the strategy was, that’s the strategy people went with. How about you get off your high horse eh?

Now I know for a fact you’re just parroting cause that is in no way what would happen. Mercy telling people to die on point was to stagger so they could try a push. Hide n rez was so the player could negate bad winrates va the bug. And Mass Rez was far and few in between because tempo Rez was far more powerful hense why it’s destroying her kit right now.

Even then it outshines Discord which is single target. Mercy can 30% Damage boost, and playing with a Reinhardt or any hero really can affect a WHOLE team
While I was on Mercy, in a match where my Pharah teammate was getting decimated by enemy Ashe, I get this in chat, direct quote, “Mercy pls just pocket me and we win”.
Any player with a reasonable amount of Mercy time knows , assuming an even matchup, pocketing a remote hero for any significant amount of time almost guarantees the rest of the team dies twice as fast. Unfortunately there are still legions of DPS players who demand a Mercy pocket, and this week’s hero bans have brought up an embarrassingly bad series of Pharahs thinking they are invincible.
