[Feedback Thread Continued Part III] Mercy Updates - Jan 30, 2018

I have 410 hours with her and think the rework was wrong and therefore stoped playing her.

Problem is she is still a very strong healer and good for pretty much every comp. Most people will pick her just to win the game not because they like her or find her fun but because they want SR and Victory on their screen.

I dont notice cause I play tanks usually and have alot of fun doing it

Already tried this for three months. Pick rate still high. :cry:

Or how was it ever more involved. You fly in and hit q for a rez. Valk still has mercy more involved then that even if her skill ceiling is low. That’s the part of the argument I don’t get.

On their defense, they don’t play Mercy ._. though, Mercy appeals to a lot more people than what they can understand so even if the 70 people who feel that she’s unfun stopped playing altogether, her numbers would remain high still

“trash.”

Here is something you are not going to like hearing then.

She is still overpowered.

I will never Boycott Mercy. She is my go to support when I need to flex.

The only thing that I’m boycotting this month is the new Star Wars movie. I can’t even think about TLJ without feeling sick to my stomach.

I haven’t seen it yet but sad how much hate it’s getting. At least I won’t have my hopes up.

I like her just fine.

I have played Mercy since beta and will continue to do so no matter what changes come.

I highly doubt that tank mains are all deliberately not playing tanks as some kind of ‘boycott’, it’s just that healers are more fun than tanks

Im pretty sure if every angry mercy on the forums boycott her the pick rate would go down what like .01% ?

It is all about the pick rates. I see so many posts on the forums about suggestions to make Mercy more fun and they are really good. But nothing will happen until that pick rate goes down. If you really want something done, you have to do something about it.

And you’re cheating the system so you would be in the wrong here. Sure they might not know but you know you’re doing something wrong.

You are artificially making her look bad because you want a buff. Many other heroes actually need a buff we don’t need people tanking a heroes stats because they complained about that her.

It’s not really cheating the system. If Mercy isn’t fun and nobody plays her, they will give her some more fun tools to make her more fun. It’s that simple.

Yeah, don’t boycott then. If she needs the changes, it will be “that simple”.

It is cheating the system. You’re using it for unintended purposes to force Blizzard to buff a hero who obviously doesn’t need a buff because she’s picked a lot and wins 50/50. Guess what happens if they were to buff her and you stopped boycotting? Her pickrate would skyrocket to the 90s again and her winrate would get pushed over 50% and she would immediately get nerfed.

I’d rather not them boycott Mercy because there are many situations where a Mercy is needed. Also she doesn’t need changes. like i mean mercy mains can go off but they still haven’t proposed a remotely reasonable “solution” that isn’t convoluted. Not that there have been convoluted yet reasonable solutions. None of them have been reasonable bar nixing rez entirely.

Damn those players for enjoying a balanced and powerful hero and playing her.

If you’ve looked at the forums clearly Mercy mains are not happy. Every single day there is always a post on the front page about some change Mercy needs. Right now there’s one where someone wants her to crouch during rez. There’s also one about Mercy needing instant rez in Valk, which is 100% true. You can check every day. If people want change they need to act.

As inspirational as that sounds, this is a video game where people are anonymous.

It’s called the silent majority and a vocal minority.

Instant Rez in Valk is not going to happen. It’s ridiculous.
