Mercy change only affects pharah right.
Or do you mean mercy will heal less if she is in high ground, that seems odd cause that will nerf her on high ground setups on so many maps for others too like Gibraltar.
I like the 35 hps i would just make it the standard.
And give her a amp condition like sojourna that is if she dmg boosts a particular amount she gets amped heals for a few secs something like that
I endorse the full GA revert.
Ana i would just make it only do 50% heal reduction for tanks while do full for others as usual.
Literally any hero that’s more than 8m above the ground, with a Genji jump being 7.8m off the ground.
Not that.
My question is what if mercy is on the same level as them which is how she is mostly with snipers.
Mercy’s own height above the ground wouldn’t factor in at all.
Just the height above the ground of the person she’s healing.

I feel that’s too niche to help with snipers or ranged dps in general, will help with pharah echo.
Will also nerf doom Winston ball as a sideffect.
I want something that prevents her pocketing hitscan dps.
To me i think 35 hps as base healing is good way to go.
Don’t you think heal is generally high currently, they are still having hps enough to heal two tanks and others.
I figure the way you solve that, is by reworking Widow/Hanzo/Sojourn, to the point that the counterplay doesn’t basically boil down to “Kill them or lose”.
I also think one of the reasons they made LW clunky is to prevent him from healing tracer easily.
Cause his primary is basically repair pack.
However it doesn’t go through enemy barriers/matrix/reflect.
I prefer killing them tracer’s still got it.
The issue is genji and others can’t through surplus heals.
Well I did have a Genji damage buff on the list in there.

He has high ground to surpass most of it that brig doesn’t get easily.
I still think heals need a tone down to fit 5v5.
I mean everyone was so ready to jump down on the flankers throat 5v5 get nerfed.
But no one wants to even talk of the overhealing going on 4 seasons in.
Well, tone down burst damage, and I’d fully expect that they gotta scale down how durable compositions are after that.
Which could involve reducing heals.
By burst if you mean tracer good luck nerf the one flanker who can still do the job the game will rot after that.
If you mean hitscans Cassidy is fine he just needs a better E that’s not cheap.
Snipers I’m not sure what widow or hanzo will be without oneshot, so I’m against that.
Whenever sniper became meta we have always gutted them so they aren’t played alot.
I would rather nerf them without touching one shot and buff counters.
I think apart from tracer all flankers can do with a buff even scrummy sombra though she would do well to get another rework.
Echo reaper and genji.
I think sojourna is fine now so is ashe.
Any less dmg the game might as well become Minecraft.
I don’t see the big deal about burst dmg outside oneshots and pockets.
Which again is the overhealing that hasn’t been addressed since launch.
I think it’s unlikely it was because of LW. It’s likely it was a compensation nerf to Brig having her stun re-added to her ult, because there were a couple other significant nerfs that came with it (the lack of regenerating self overhealth and the loss of speed). I think they were just scared that she would be OP with the new ult but she’s actually just worse.
TBH they should just revert the changes honestly.

punished mercy so hard
What are you smoking brother, mercy has never received any meaningful nerfs to her two meta defining broken abilities in blue beam and rez??? The tiny fly nerf that came with a healing buff and was almost instantly reverted does not count lol
Is she actually worse though? The armor she receives is still bugged and isn’t reducing damage as it should.
Brig is still perfectly usable and Lifeweaver is currently considered the worst support, maybe the worst hero in the game.
I’m sure if Blizzard wanted to make their new hero look good they would have just released him in an OP state.
