Mercy supposedly isn’t fun to play, but she’s one of the most picked heroes at the tiers that cover 95% of the players? I don’t understand, isn’t the point of playing a game to have fun? If so why are people playing Mercy? That’d be like if I said “Overwatch is a boring awful game, but I play it every day instead of any other video games”.

I really don’t want another huge Mercy rework. Maybe a small one that changes Rez in some way, but other than that, Mercy is fine.
Not true. In my opinion I still feel - and I’ve expressed this in other threads - that Valk is underwhelming, that’s it.
Mercy is definitely still viable and balanced in comparison to other heroes who take priority in terms of tweaks.
Personally I don’t main them but I’d love to see Symmetra and Ana focused on! They need it.
She also didn’t need a rework.

They left the unnecessary re-work unfinished, god forbid if they do this terrible treatment to another hero.

I don’t think it’s possible to finish this rework any further.
Without a revert (which they did they aren’t going to do), you’d need another different rework. Because she’s going to need nerfs and buffs to meaningfully change her current playstyle.
It’s not so much wanting her to take precedence over other heroes as making sure Blizzard doesn’t just decide she’s ‘fine’ because people stop talking about it. Especially seeing as they refuse to acknowledge the huge mega threads (the current on is at 14k + with no dev response). Their attitude to the whole thing is frankly abysmal. They took a hero that was perfectly fine other than some issues with their SR system that were being exploited and massively reworked her into a god only to spend the next six months claiming they hadn’t made a mistake while, at the same time, nerfing her ever patch to fix said non existent mistake. They’ve yet to admit any wrong doing on their part or to acknowledge the fact that they supposedly reworked her in the first place to be more engaging only to leave her feeling lack luster and dull compared to her prerework self.
If Blizzard came out and just said quite honestly that they have other things they need to work on right now but they have plans to revisit Mercy after that, people would calm down some. Instead they close Mercy threads and shuffle every one off to the echo chamber like a four year old covering their ears and screaming ‘I CAN’T HEAR YOU’ really loudly. Petulant is, I think, the right word for their behavior.

Do I think they will? No.
That’s not going to stop me from demanding it. They took something that was fine, and made a mess of it. They need to clean up the mess they made.

But why before fixing other heroes that are barely even playable?
And instead devote those limited resources to redesigning the 3rd most picked hero in the game?

Mercy is still picked way more than, say, Lucio or Ana. Why would they start tweaking the same hero again when she is in a perfectly fine place over the other two supports?
Not to mention I don’t actually see them working on other heroes. This Reaper and Mei buff should have come 4 months ago.
Where’s my Torb and Symm Rework? Torb has been languishing in F-Tier for the past 2 years.
All of this could have been avoided in the first place if Blizzard hadn’t listened to the whiners in the first place calling for a Mercy nerf. No Mercy player wanted that crazy rework, and surprise nobody ended up liking it either, neither Mercy players nor everyone else.
Blizzard needs to finish what it started. Mercy in her current state is still awfully and obviously unfinished and incomplete. We Mercy players will continue demanding for the fixes because Blizzard broke what didn’t need fixing.

No. I expect them to rework Mercy after they’re done with Hanzo, Symmetra, Torbjorn, Doomfist, Bastion, and Ana.
I’m more than willing to wait my turn.
I’m fed up with people saying that Mercy should never be reworked again.

I think it is more like wanting them to say that they do have plans to look into her again eventually, even if it takes a while.
I have way better question for you dps-ers. Do you think anyone cares to tank or heal anymore and be walking target ?
sym isnt even viable on qp thanks to moira but especially thanks to brig
looking at her is just so sad considering how everyone claimed her to be op years ago
proves how much buffering counters and adding more of them can destroy even more a hero

That really doesn’t answer much when:
- Mercy is still very popular.
- Mercy has very good stats.
On that basis even many Mercy mains agree that “She’s fine, but a bit dull”.
How would you justify that being more urgent than a character that’s nearly unplayable above Silver?
Or is it really just an elaborate way of saying “I don’t care, me first, gimme gimme”?
