Don't buff mercy

An you don’t want ANY QOL changes for Mercy?

Not really. If they never changed her again I would be perfectly fine.

@Roseblite-1958

55 HPS (which many are asking for) would be better than 50 HPS. It would help to keep Tanks alive like Mercy used to do.

I have no problem keeping tanks alive. Anyways, why are you suggesting this to me like I’ve never heard of this idea? I’m the one who pitched it to Geoff last month and got this response from him:

@GeoffGoodman

I think that’s certainly possible. Overall her healing output is still higher than the other healers, which she pays for by not being able to split focus and do other things while healing. I’d also love to be able to increase the power of her damage boosting, but it causes a lot of issues with various breakpoints where suddenly X hero can one-shot 200 health heroes etc. There are other ways to make it feel better without just adding raw damage though, we’ll see.

@Roseblite-1958

Instead, you badmouth ANYONE who wants at least some small something to make Mercy better.

No, I don’t. I disagree with people who make bad suggestions or ask for mass rez back. I’ve never yelled at, or “bad mouthed” someone for asking for realistic tweaks like 55 HPS, or making Valkyrie have a stronger main beam and weaker chain beams.

@Roseblite-1958

Mercy isn’t perfect.

That’s subjective. She’s perfect for me. Like I said, if they never touch Mercy again, I wouldn’t shed a single tear, in fact I’d be perfectly happy playing her the way she is now for the rest of my life. 800 hours on her and counting, the number rises every day

@Roseblite-1958

great healer and fun for the people playing her at all ranks and on ALL platforms, PC and Console? Not so much…

No character fits that criteria. No hero is fun for the people playing them at all ranks on all platforms. It’d be ludicrous and borderline delusional to expect a hero to be enjoyed by everyone. I hate playing Doomfist and Solider 76 and Reinheart but that doesn’t mean they need changes. I just play the heroes I really enjoy, aka Mercy.

@Roseblite-1958

PC many people struggle to get her to work.

Because they are bad at her. Sorry not sorry to say it. Like the OP says, good Mercy players are invaluable to the team and still carry games. Blink_Plz made an unranked to GM Mercy only challenge on Twitch last month, placed in gold, and one tricked Mercy to top500 in only 2 weeks. I recently got my third smurf account from diamond to GM with her only. Good Mercy players have no issue making her work, bad ones do, and that’s good, it means she has a skill floor/gap like all other heroes. Bad widowmakers can’t make her work either, that doesn’t mean Widow needs to be made better/easier just so the bad players can be good.

Mercy could use some small changes to help out because for many who still use Mercy on PC, it’s really getting hard to keep one’s team alive especially if one gets 5 insta-lock DPS an no tanks…

Lol what? Mercy does amazing in 5 DPS comp, that’s like, her best place to shine. She literally is meta in OWL with 4 DPS and a Hammond.

Personally, I never struggle with her on PC. I can play her as a main healer in any team comp, with no tanks, 2 tanks, 3 tanks, whatever. I make her work because I’m good and Im very sucessful and happy with her !
