Actually I agree with none of that. 50 is more than enough to keep her competitive in the support class. And her ult while not the best is certainly not the worst either

I would say that a large number of Mercy players disagree with your position on her base healing and/or with your position on Valkyrie

I can say with certainty that I disagree with both

Personally, I find her healing to be quite strong and her ult (which I most definitely care about) to be one of the strongest in the game, and arguably the very most versatile ult as well

Riddle me this OP. Would any of the following hurt your enjoyment of Mercy?

A 15 hp burst heal that is applied to GA’s target, which is doubled in Valkyrie.
The ability to cancel E Resurrect mid cast.
The option to use E Resurrect on a living target that provides the target a burst heal of 125 followed by a 1.75s channeled 100 HPs heal.
Valkyrie being changed from 60 HPs for all to 80 on the primary target and 40 on the rest.

Forget about whether you think Mercy needs changes or not… would you object to any of these?

Like it or not not everyone plays a particular character just for a competitive edge. Some people like the character artwork design, some like the character’s kit and playstyle others identify with the lore and feel of a character. Some people have put many hours into that character and to say they should just lump it and play someone else is just wrong.

I hate snipers no matter what the game and I don’t have any desire to play a static old lady with a sniper rifle. I realise others may like that and that perfectly fine but don’t force me to play character that I don’t want too. I can live without mass res even though valk feels like a limp lackluster fish. And while I understand the need for a cast time it realy messes with the flow of mobilyt that the character is supposed too have. It’s like tracer having a cast time on blinks.

Personaly I just would like the 60 hps heal back given that every dps has been insanely buffed to try and balance tanks. But even at 60 hps mercy was never regarded as the optimal choice for healing tanks.

It’s not about my enjoyment tho, it’s about yours and others who don’t have fun anymore. I don’t have a problem with mercy, I still find enjoyment. All those changes you listed, I don’t care about them

It’s about both.

For good or for ill, the Mercy rework happened. There’s a group of people who dislike her new kit and there’s a group of people who do like her new kit. Both sets of players and opinions matter. A good developer would then proceed to attempt change to make the former group happy without alienating the latter.

So I will ask again, would you oppose those changes?

by way of context, there are a couple (there may well be others I am unaware of) of rework proposals out there that attempt to make changes to satisfy some of the complaints yet keep Mercy’s playstyle mostly the same, and without necessarily buffing her

These reworks are looking for responses from both sides

For the mercy complainers: Will this suggested rework make you happy (or barring that, less unhappy)?

For those already happy with Mercy: Will this suggested rework make you unhappy?

The hope and intent of such reworks is answers of yes for the former and no for the latter

so you’re being addressed here as a member of the latter group, as best I can tell

Ive always been fine with mercy, old or new. Her kit has always retained its basic abilities: heal, dmg boost, GA. Would I oppose your changes? Why would I even care she’s not being changed. Don’t care about reworks/buffs/reverts. You guys are the ones who care about that, not me. You can make as many change suggestions as you want but I’m not getting involved or saying whether or not I agree with X change. I’ll just keep playing the character because I’m fine with it

@Mercy: My apologies, and understood…what I mentioned are simply attempts at compromise between the two sides

@Megadodo Oh no you’re all good, I was just responding to FFirebranDD letting them know that I will not comply with their attempt at getting me to agree with their proposed changes

It was just an analogy. If you want to take it too literally, it’s on you.

I was not attempting anything. I was merely asking a question. Which you seem to have overreacted to.

Mercy and Megadodo tend to run disruption on any person who makes an argument they disagree with, and then spend the rest the thread liking each others’ posts.

Believe it or not I’ve actually had productive discussions with Megadodo in the past. I have however learned that you need to be incredibly literal and precise whenever talking to them.

I’ve not had much direct discussion with Mercy, so I can’t respond to that part.

Yes I kno what an analogy is. I’m not criticizing you I just thought it was kinda funny that polio was used. Because toxicity is basically just an inconvenience and if everyone just had thicker skin it wouldn’t even be a problem

Interesting. I’ll leave you to it, then.

Toxicity is a really broad term that encompasses things from ā€œmean wordsā€ all the way to disruptive behavior and harassment.

This is like someone in the suburbs saying crime is just a bunch of kids doing vandalism isn’t just a real problem.

You don’t have to stay in this thread if you don’t like it. You have the freedom to leave yet you choose not to. That’s your own problem that you can’t just let it go lol

I wasn’t talking to you, though. I’m free to call it like I see it, and if you don’t like it, the same applies.

Just curious, why are you refusing to answer my question?
