Does Mercy need to be reworked?

General Discussion

As soon as you get a team with a semi compitent Mercy the games aren’t fun anymore. You can spend all your resources taking out a tank just for her to resurrect in nearly no time at all

What about her damage boost, as soon as she’s in the air she is a nightmare to kill for most heroes. She can then boost already OP DPS heroes such as soljourn, bastion in turret form, pharaoh etc.

They need to maje some changes. Ressyrect should either take longer or only Ressyrect a hero with a fraction of their health. Her boost damage needs to be nerfed too.

People may not agree but this is my opinion :man_shrugging:t2:

I’ve been playing OW since release, 1 not 2, and other than moth meta she isn’t a problem on either side of the team.

She need one big fat nerf.

If your team has no mercy but the other have it is free loss

Been longing for a Mercy rework since moth meta.

Pocketing is stupid and so was the first rework.

Semi rework getting rid of damage boost for ability that decreases a target damage for 15 percent for six seconds on a 9 second cool down. Shoots a beam at somebody.

Idk why people continue to speak like this, as if it’s true.

I find Mercy to be fairly well balanced in her current state.

She doesnt ergo need any nerfs

this is simply untrue

If they want supports to be supports and not healing bots then yes.

I find Mercy in her current state to be fun, effective, and fairly well balanced

she needs no changes, and most especially does not need a rework

I always shake my head with wonder when experienced players ask for a rework for a beloved character, given the horrendously bad history of reworks in OW. The character affected is almost always in a much worse state than before, with mains generally abandoning the character afterwards.

As such, I have no idea why anyone would want a rework for a beloved character

Same experience. Plus your team will flame you as a healer if you don’t pick Mercy. But the elitist will tell you that at the 0.1% top of GM Mercy is no problem and you just have to git gud.

my only gripe with mercys current state is that she no longer has to touch the ground, she can be airborne perpetually and my teams just ignore her as much as possible because she isnt at eye level.

That you say this is more than enough to know that she needs a rework and that she is not fine at all ^^ Thank you for confirming.

Mercy has needed a rework for many years now. Don’t expect one though because devs are terrified to change her again.

actually, there is nothing in what I stated that is an indication that she needs a rework

quite the opposite, in fact

I have to wonder why an experienced player such as yourself would ever wish a rework on any beloved character, especially given that you are almost certainly aware of the horrifically bad history of reworks in OW

I know and thats the point. You are a Mercy hater. If you think she is fine, she desperately needs help xD

as a clarification, I am not a Mercy hater.

quite the opposite, actually

I am a support main who plays quite a bit of Mercy and has done so for many years now. I find her to be fun, effective, and fairly well balanced in her current state. This is optimal for any character in this game, and wanting a character to be other than that is as I see it destructive to the character. As such, I defend Mercy from attacks by others, claiming she "need"s to be nerfed or buffed or reworked

with all that said, I ask that the personal attacks cease
