Jeff literally responded in here two days ago…
I haven’t been on in 3 days and it has since doubled in size. What did he say?
Nooo please don’t leave!
You’re one of the only people whose posts I look forward to reading! Please don’t go!

After sifting through this mess, I found Jeff’s post. Evidently it’s about the pickrate? So revert her back to 1.0 where her pickrate was lower and buff her. Why the hell did they have to change her?

Wrong again, it’s not bait, it’s simply logic and reason.
I see post rate is rising quite well. So yet another 20k?
Oooooh new post after I’ve been gone for a month ![:slight_smile:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5" ":slight_smile:")
Still poop let me know when something changes
Also wow my ingame name finally updated a month after changing it, about time
Hi there 
She’s not mobility-based. Idk where you’re getting that idea from. She’s support based. In fact, what contradicts your claim that’s she’s mobility-based, is, once again, how GA works. It can only be used to go to allies and cannot be used on its own. A mobility-based hero would have mobility that works regardless. Lucio is such an example.
Again, this is only correct if you use it out of position or when your team doesn’t help you, which, again, is still the basis of mercy’s entire kit. That’s still not punishing, that’s punishable.
So if you make the statement that current mercy’s rez is “punishing”, you unknowingly are accepting that the whole premise of her kit is “punishing”.
Many people from the “Mercy is fine” camp is using mobility as an argument of her greatness.

Dude Mercy has been a victim of bad design from the start.
Mercy 1.0: no burst (aka E ability) in her base kit, forcing her to over-rely on rez. Rez was too easy to abuse for cheesy strats.
Early Mercy 2.0: OPAF
Late Mercy 2.0: monotonous but necessary, considering how many soloquers need Mercy as a crutch to compensate for disorganized/just plain bad teamplay. Mercy’s skill ceiling is crushed into her floor: once you master the basics, there’s no room left to improve.
Mercy’s fanbase has been complaining about her horrible design flaws since even before the rework - during Mercy 1.0, of the most common forum topics were requests/suggestions for a Mercy E ability.

If they’re saying mercy is fine from a perspective of balance, then yes, they’re correct. Her mobility is good. It’s really good during valk. However, that still doesn’t mean she’s mobility-based.
Its kinda great that devs are sane people and they will never bring back terrible ability like MassRez ![:wink:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=5" ":wink:")

dont underestimate how crucial mercy was to draw in people
its not mass rez that’s the issue per se, its to fullfill the powerfantasy of the ultimate healer. And saving your team to victory.
Current mercy is okay.
Old mercy was weaker but FELT more powerful thanks to a satisfying ult. And this is preferable to MANY people.
Mass rez with a few tweaks,and an E-ability and mercy would have been fine

No, what the other poster said was correct. Viability was never the concern. Her not being fun to play is the concern, however, and it was completely glossed over by Jeff. And it wasn’t even said in a Mercy thread. Again.
They never had to say that they agreed with us. In fact, I fully expected a response where they’d dig in their heels on the Mercy issue and say it’s all fine and dandy. But they could have at least had the decency to actually acknowledge the ACTUAL concerns. Calling people childish for having frustration at such an insensitive response after over 20k posts on this forum alone just shows a complete lack of understanding on your end.

lets give genji a rose instead of a blade, when he dragonblades ,he will slap that rose gently against an enemy it will do +400% damage then before.
Imagine that.
Genji will be stronger,but it will FEEL weaker.
A good hero doesnt need only power but a good kit that makes sense for the hero and crystlizes what the hero does.
Mercy 's kit is now such that she is okay and strong-ish,she’s the strongest healer still. Her kit is inbalanced tho. The ult is weak,the ability is too strong so it had to be gimped.
But she doesnt feel strong,she doesnt feel special,she doesnt feel like a hero.

This sums up the reason why there’s been nine megathreads, in one sentence.
And then Jeff has the nerve to parrot stats at us to justify why they’re not changing her.

actually no
apparently he again responded in another thread instead of engaging here
not really alleviating the feeling this thread is supposed to be a comment graveyard
and to make matters worse he coments on her pickrate whille no one here is talking about her pickrate but about her fun
so its hard to argue they arent ignoring what is being said
