All these comments cropped up as soon as Ana and Moira received changes, but apparently it’s all Mercy’s fault.
Apparently, the fact that there’s only one other healer that can somewhat compete alongside Mercy with the current meta, or the fact that there’s only six healers in the game, or the fact that she’s literally the only dedicated healer mean nothing.
Zen and Mercy are the only healers that help allies gain ultimate faster. They’re the only ones that can heal through barriers. These are two important factors in the current meta (is Grav & Dragons still a thing?)
The lack of viability from other healers caused her to skyrocket, because why pick healers that suck right now when you can have one that doesn’t suck?
Tell me - if you nerfed Mercy, how would that help other healers become better? How would they rise up again? How would Ana become better with all the shields right now, how would Lucio beat all his counters?
Around February when she received the Valkyrie nerf, everyone crawled out of the wood and said “Yes, she’s balanced!” “Stop complaining, she’s in a fine spot.” etc. Her kit has not changed a SINGLE bit since those nerfs. How come she’s suddenly broken and unbalanced?
Her balance is fine. Her viability is not, and a lot of that can be credited to the fall of other healers. I asked before, and I’ll ask again - what would nerfing her accomplish in the bigger scheme of things? How would it help the other heroes? I’d like to know.
Mercy needs another rehaul - though, there’s other heroes that need help first.
(Apologies if this doesn’t make sense or becomes contradictory - I struggle keeping up when I write lots of text.)
