They couldnā€™t have at least gave a new charity skin for someone else? Really just made pink mercy 2.0 :skull:

Gigachad move to just revert heroes abilities for the arcade mode. And Aaron still oblivious to the hint.

Finally some fun experimental stuff.

11

I meanā€¦ hordes of people have been asking for that one particular skin back for years. Y e a r s.

Consider it more of a demo, if they can make it work right.

But what do I know, right :stuck_out_tongue:

Mercy not need mobilty buffs, she need healing buffs.

Iā€™m of the opinion that Mercy doesnā€™t need to be meta, she just needs to be fun.
And mobility is inherently fun.

That said, I do think they could do something to make it so that ā€œlong range damage boosted headshotsā€ isnā€™t a thing. Or just remove damage boosted headshots entirely.
And that would give a lot of room to work with.

Since thatā€™s whatā€™s sheā€™s relevant for at higher ELOs.
