🕊 Damage Boost Buff? How?

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. I’d also love to be able to increase the power of her damage boosting, but it causes a lot of issues with various breakpoints where suddenly X hero can one-shot 200 health heroes etc. There are other ways to make it feel better without just adding raw damage though, we’ll see.

How would the Damage boost take buff without adding raw damage?

Off the cuff:

• Increased range
• Minor healing during damage boost
• Boost effect lingers briefly after releasing it
• More Mercy ultimate charge for boosted damage

I’m sure there are plenty of other possibilities if we put some time into thinking about it.

By giving it special properties such as boosted weapons ignore armour or increase the size of Aoe attacks or add piercing attacks to certain weapons.

It could just boost the character better spread slight dmg resistance.

By making it so boosted attacks pierces through multiple enemies.

I.e. Triple Widow headshot, with one bullet

You’re welcome.

Makes me remember when a lot of people wanted her damage boost nerfed or removed before they nerfed her back to 50hps.

It’s interesting they want to change it since the damage boost beam has barely been touched since the start.
