I really hope that someday they will stop doing that. I mean: trashing the threads. Itâs not healthy, itâs not helping keep the tabs about the feedback, and it disrupts ongoing discussions.

You say stuff like this but you wouldnât if you knew what weâve been saying about Mercy. Or the other healers in general.
Are we just going to keep nerfing Mercy, patch after patch, until she has to stand still for 10 seconds while doing skill checks to resurrect and can only heal for three seconds at a time?
Blizzard, please listen. You cannot keep closing your eyes and plugging your ears yelling âLA LA LA I CANâT HEAR YOU!!!â. You have to face the reality of the situation.
The Mercy rework was a complete and utter failure. She is not fun to play against. She is not fun to play as. She has been a complete nightmare for balance, constantly overshadowing other supports. Nerf after nerf after nerf, she is consistently a must have if you want a chance of winning your game.
It is clear to me, the rest of the community, and hopefully soon to yourselves that Mercyâs power levels are not the result of overtuned numbers. Her new kit is inherently flawed. She needs major changes. Please, stop stripping away random parts of her kit until she can only heal and damage boost. She needs a rework.

The daily âMercy is OP, nerf 2 groundâ threads would say otherwise, lol.
The issue is itâs not JUST Mercy. A lot of it is her failed rework, but a lot of it is outside forces as well like shields and how theyâre interacted with.
Fixing Mercy and reverting her (as Rez canât function as an ability, it has to be an ult. I donât miss mass Rez at all, but come on. Itâs so much worse now.) might help a lot, but it wonât be the end of it and it wonât fix everything.

You are complaining but not offering any solution. What do you want for Mercy ? For example I want to see damage boost and rez taken from her kit and replaced with something else. Like damage resistant boost instead of damage boost. And instead of rez a new ability I call âgift of an angelâ which grants only one hero 5 sec of time not getting any damage.
Damage Boost will stay, it was never a problem, and so will Rez

As long as she has Rez-- and sheâs the only healer who has Rez-- it doesnât matter how they nerf her, sheâll always be the most-picked healer in the game. This has been said over and over every time theyâve tried âbalancingâ her. Making it an Ultimate or an Ability wonât matter. Itâs Rez. Itâs strong.

I have offered plenty of solutions. Not just me, either. There are dozens, if not hundreds of threads, offering ideas for change. I personally have suggested removing the resurrect mechanic for something else. I have to see it go, but Iâd rather see Mercy balanced AND fun.
Here, I outline 2 proposals and my reasoning for them in this thread.
Why because you say/want so ?
I like the idea of the first one. If damage boost was taken away Iâd want something to replace it with the same feel. Like, you damage boost at certain times for a certain pay out. Youâd damage resist boost someone at key times as well. Itâd require the same, if not a little more thought.
Your Rez replacement though would be more game breaking than Rez. The main complaint of Rez is it invalidates a kill, often in the context of denying ults. 5 secs without taking damage could do the same thing and the target wouldnât even have to be brought back to use their ult to counter, they would just use it while being immune to damage.
Because theyâve said so. They said theyâd never remove Rez, and DB is completely fine, heck Blizz wanted to buff it
Damage boost has been in the game since launch. It has never been a problem. The only reason Mercy is picked at her rate is rez on a cooldown. It canât be reverted because then we go back to her not being used (at any relatively high level). Mercy was a troll pick for over a year after people realized mass rez wasnât any good. I love Mercy but she needs rez removed and a new utility ability that can be used as often as other utility abilities in the game which will give her more to do.
Blizz said they never gonna add deathmatch too but we have it. They say We never gonna do this but they realize its actually better and they do it eventually. So dont be so sure about Mercy. Those things could be change. Damage boost can be unique to Ana as support if that happens with nano boost.(and orisa as a tank) And rez was and is not a good ability in a game like this. You simply bring someone back to life from death. This is not a doctor character does(mercy is a doctor) its what necromancer does. It should be changed.
I tried looking this up and couldnât find anything; Iâm not calling you a liar, but do you have a source or anything to refer that to?
Itâs a core part of Mercyâs character. Itâs a highlight intro, merch, sprays, etc. Blizzard clearly loves Rez and will not remove it. DB also isnât a problem, so itâll stay
Fixed it. Seriously, though. Why does anyone think that she is underpowered? With rez, she will never be underpowered.
Nanomachines, son.
On a more serious note, Damage Boost is only complained about right now because of the Hanzo-Zarya Wombo people like to run. As soon as this falls out of favor, weâll see less complaints about damage boost.

I donât quite remember, but it was a post I belive. Plus it wouldnât be good for the company, they wonât remove it
