Actually there’s no science behind it (unlike the similar post claims)
Everyone has preferences
People like to claim that Mercy is not fun to play because…
…insert personal feelings…
Many people here are the example of doing exactly that. Now hear me out.
As for myself, I love playing Mercy.
I love how fluid her gameplay is. I love how much she can survive if one masters her mobility. I love the feeling I get when I pull off a clutch rez. I love when my teammates compliment me on staying alive in tough fights or even try to keep me alive as much as they can themselves. I could go on and on…
And these are just my feelings. I’m not going to force you to like her as much as I do.
Almost every Mercy main here is trying to convince me that she’s bad with their feelings, instead of objective facts. Instead of finding flaws in her kit, they will settle for a nice subjective opinion about how “chain beams are stupid” and such.
During the fall of the Moth meta when Mercy was receiving nerf after nerf, I was sad too. I didn’t want her to become an F tier hero, but at the same time I hated that she was a must-pick. I later informed myself about why were certain changes made and adjusted. But I never, at a point, told myself that she’s not fun. The general playstyle about juggling beams and staying alive is still there.
It has been said multiple times that Mercy’s not getting a rework or a revert. If you think that she genuinely deserves one of those, please, look into Mercy’s kit and try to look for flaws and other things that could be improved. Stop trying to convince others here, or even the devs, that Mercy is “awfully unfun to play” with just your feelings. Please, make your threads more about talking about issues and less about proposing solutions to problems that haven’t been clarified.
So, to wrap this up;
Everyone has preferences, and as for myself, I enjoy playing Mercy.
And nobody here will convince me otherwise with just their feelings.
- Mercy has had Valkyrie longer than she’s had Resurrect as an ultimate, a revert ain’t happening 100%.
- Mercy is currently not disrupting the meta nor is she a trash tier hero, therefore she is not in a desperate need of balance changes, whether they’d be nerfs or buffs.
