Ok, this is going to be a long one and I’m sorry about that

@Céleste-22503

Mercy is in the best spot she’s ever been in and should not be touched.

I’m happy you feel that way, but there are a lot of us who adamantly disagree.

@Céleste-22503

Mercy is still one of the strongest heroes in the games and in my opinion one of the most balanced heroes in the game.

Enlighten me as to how that works exactly. You can’t be “one of the strongest” and “one of the most balanced” at the same time. My reasoning behind such a statement is that balanced implies an equilibrium where stronger is purely subjective.

@Céleste-22503

Buffs would cause her to be miles ahead over every other support and the Mercy main hate would fuel once again

Then I guess it’s a good thing we’ve been asking for changes not buffs. As for the Mercy main hate train, it never left, it just calmed down a bit.

@Céleste-22503

There’s a ton less pressure for me to ult. I died with ressurection and my team flamed me highly, whereas nowadays I feel SO MUCH MORE FREE to ult as Mercy. Just pop it every team fight.

This honestly feels like an argument I could use that Valkyrie needs a change to be a real ult. There’s no pressure because it doesn’t change much.

@Céleste-22503

People often say she’s become a pocket DPS machine and in some way I agree, but I like it. As I said, I hold the strong belief that without Mercy in the meta other heroes like Mccree and Widowmaker would fall out heavily.

Believe me, I’m happy for you, but myself and many others can’t stand how she feels now. As for Widow and McCree, I think that means that they need buffs more than anything. One character probably shouldn’t need another to be truly viable if they’re balanced.
