Yeah, she was underpowered outside of her ult, similar to Zarya and Sombra. It was a bad design.
Thing is Mercy is properly balanced right now.
So the issue is merely making Mercy feel better to play.
Something which is more appropriate to be done with fine tuning, not a chainsaw approach.
I just speak the truth ![:smiley:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=5" ":smiley:")

Ohhh, good to know. I wonāt be that vain, though-- unless the dice really fit my character.
also, @lazypeon @sandity @spud, would it be presumptuous of me to say add me on discord >_>

she was somewhat balanced until last patch, on that i could agreeā¦ but in the state she is now she is severely under-performing and as a total rework was already in need i believe thereās no better moment then now to do it
No.
Her stats say she is slightly underperforming in some ranks. Not severely.
In what world is Valkyrie powerful?
Itās an amalgamation of 2 different ultimateās;
Orisa - Supercharger
Zenyatta - Transcendence
Valkyrie isnāt as strong as either and comes with the downside of it ending if/when she dies. I know Mercy is Swiss, but does that mean she has to be an Army knife too?
Resurrect was only wildly overpowered when viewed through the eyes of a Damage Dealer. Poor Damage Dealers specifically.
Blizzard had the opportunity to place Resurrect on par with the rest of the ultimateās, even if that was just to appease the unwashed masses. Instead they turned left when they should have turned right. It was Blizzardās mistake.
Her pickrate looks fine. And her winrate at Plat and below is about the same or better than Moira/Ana.
So that pretty much only leaves the top 15%, where her winrate is already trending back to 50%. And sheās still highly picked within those ranks.
I.e. About what you would expect for Mercy to be balanced.
no, her stats have been misinterpreted if you look only at the winrate. as iāve said before her winrate is rising because the pickrate is decreasing, hence while her true bottom line is far lower then what you see right now
The fault doesnāt lie with the players. It lies with the lazy dev team who apparantly never play the game and thus suck at balancing

Sheās either the #1 or #2 most picked main healer at every rank.
but it keeps falling, hard
Her old pickrate was excessive. So one would expect a balanced pickrate to be lower.

I tossed a request your way. You should see a trolly looking Mei lol.
if it did stabilize at one point i would agree, but it just keeps falling
Iāve never actually ever entered in any of these conversations with the intent to be toxic, and Iām fine with calling it out on both sides as long as people on the āother sideā, so to speak, commit to doing the same. But I have literally never seen someone on the Mass Rez side call one of their own out for being toxic, instead yāall just turn a blind eye to it or downplay. 
In the end we all just want a balanced game even if our methods differ.
Sheās balancing out properly for the ranks. Ana has a higher pickrate in higher elos becauseā¦I mean, itās Ana, she deserves to be there.
I would compare Mercy to Moira moreso than Ana, in terms of where we want to be with Mercy. Some of the healers got a buff, and Mercy got that odd healing nerf, and now we see the stats reflect a realistic expectation for pickrates.
Her pickrates were super inflated before. I feel like we wonāt know for certain until another month goes by.
Like how the rework was?
Mass rez was never a problem balance wise until after the invincibility buff. I donāt see the problem with going back to what worked and tweaking from there.

I wouldnāt say that, as Moira isnāt actually a very good hero. Ideally sheād be brought up as well, but sheās designed to have zero utility which seriously hurts where sheās applicable.
