Can we make mercy great again?

That answer was about damage boost and the impact it has on a teamfight while taking into account that adding a number too high would allow certain heroes to one shot.

I’d like Mercy to have a healing temporary boost but the potential buff is about a temporary augmentation of damage boost, not her healing beam. If it’s allowing both to be used at will on the reload button for example then it’s nice.

Uh…?

When Geoff said “That’s certainly possible” his answer was referring to buffing her HEALING. I should know, I’m the one who asked the question. Look:

I also think that the 60 HPS nerf was justified, she was doing a little too much healing compared to the other supports. But I was wondering, would you guys ever consider buffing her HPS up to 55 to see if it works as a nice middleground? It could be the extra “oomph” some Mercy players miss about her healing.

Or also, would you ever consider giving her an ability on her Reload button for her staff which temporarily boosts her healing output?

@GeoffGoodman

I think that’s certainly possible. Overall her healing output is still higher than the other healers, which she pays for by not being able to split focus and do other things while healing.

Question —> Answer

He THEN goes in to say he wants to buff damage boost, which was never in my question to him and was brought up of his own desire to discuss it. Which I am fine with, damage boost is awesome and I welcome any buffs to it (I personally want it to buff the speed of Mercy and her beam target by 20% when using it).

But my point still stands, I asked if they would buff her HPS to 55 or give her a healing boost on R, and he said “That’s certainly possible”. Obviously not a definite answer, but better than him ignoring or flat out dismissing the idea.
