Exactly like Moira and Ana.
Or were you trying to compare Mercy to offhealers?
Because that’s dumb.

Everything really… like
Yes she viable because of her base kit… her Healing and Damage boosting remain unchanged and is arguably her strongest aspect.
Not OP is true but at the same time are you acknowledging the fact she has to hide and back out of a fight to cast Resurrect
Resurrect Skill is flawed… the ability encourages people to hide as they cast. Doing a reckless resurrect or even a normal res in the open, will make you vulnerable to death. Losing yourself in a 1 for 1 trade is never good, Mercy benefits the team by Healing.
In this regard the Vulnerable version of Mass res was fine, there was a price to pay for the resurrection of 1 to 5 players… it is better than gambling it on 1 person and dying leaving 5 people without a healer or failing and leaving 4 people without a healer.
Valkyrie is a superficial buffer… it only enhance your healing if you cannot maintain the health of multiple players in your base form.
The ability lacks the power and momentum to create swing not to mention Mercy tends to disengage a fight and retreat from a fight.
Then there is the fact that OWL players and pro’s are voicing the opinion that Resurrect in its current state is an issue because of its potential power.
At the start of the match, the Widow might get a really good shot and kill someone, thats a major advantage but Mercy can undo that immediately.
Resurrect s unearned, it has too much potential to undo any individual mistake and reset the playing field without much thought (if it safe to res)
Then there is the issue of performance stats, Pro Mercy are feeding back that in order to be good with her, selfish self preservation is of utmost importance, your life is more valuable than the life of your team.
Because Valkyrie doesn’t make her any stronger than she is in the hands of a pro, that means Mercy has no further room to create impact so it is best to stay alive and do what you can, the rest is on your team.

Valkyrie’s hps is trash, it’s actually completely useless in a real team fight, all your healing just gets completely out damaged
AT THE VERY LEAST valkyrie needs a hps buff

You’re not keeping anyone alive if EVERYONE on the other team focus fires a target, not sure what you’re getting at

Thats because the ultimate is a superficial buff… a good Mercy can already manage her team, she has been doing it solo since season 2… With skill and experience Solo Healing is doable…
So for Mercy’s like that, Valkyrie is pretty useless, it only makes it easier to heal… not impactful in the way you heal faster or making more heals… and since if you play max out at 100% in base form, there a good chance the enemy team will be playing as hard as possible to out do your heals and a as a result, they will outgun Mercy’s healing.

I wasn’t exactly comparing her to anybody. Just kinda funny how the ult voiceline is “heroes never die” and then the whole team just disappears immediately. Zen ult can literally do the healing part of valkyrie and do it better than mercy and orisa’s dmg boost is stronger.
as for the Moira and Ana you mentioned, Moira’s ult is pretty good imo. It won’t save people from massive damage bursts but it has the potential to kill the enemy as well. Ana’s nano I have little experience with but I can say that as a character Ana isn’t in a very good place rn. Thank god they’re buffing her.

If only that was true as well. Hanzo firing all of his storm arrows while pharah and junkrat spam the healing target usually kills them in a microsecond.
I’m referring your original comment. Regardless of whatever hero/ability, if the entire team has the goal to take out one person and it’s coordinated, you’re not healing through it.

"Experience tranquility."
seriously tho, zen literally heals 300 health per second during transcendence. I know that mercy is a low skill hero but come on…

You’re joking if you don’t think you can kill through it. Any coordination will crap through any squishy.
This is actually true… Transcendence is the strongest AOE Heal ult in the game but at the same time it was tone down so that it can’t help you heal through everything.

To explain further, just for an example:
Zarya has grav. Hanzo has Dragons.
Zen uses ult into the grav.
Mercy damage boosts Hanzo, rein is swinging away, Brig swinging away.
End result: Typically just zen walks away while the team is dead.
To explain even further, ana nades the team in the grav while zen is ulting. Nobody dies. (since u are gonna make such specific case scenarios)
Perhaps should have listed the characters.
Rein
Zarya
Brig
Hanzo
Zen
Mercy
No Ana
They can’t say that. There is no pick rate mentioned. That’s obviously all that matters.
It’s really stupid that they didn’t even have the decency to acknowledge our actual concerns with Mercy, whether they agree with them or not.
Well, then replace mercy with ana cuz anas buffs are insanely good

Man, I miss Overwatch 2016/17
A time when we didn’t have to fight everyday just to get our hero back.

Other suggestions:
Here my buff/nerf to Mercy.
Valkyrie
- Like it is now, but …
- …half cast time (0,8s) to Rez
- Eventually nerf: no infinite ammo, but more speed to projectiles
Resurrection
- Like it is now but…
- … 20 seconds cooldown
- … Res the mate with 50% HP
So, Valkyrie will be more engaing and will enchant all abilities. Anyway, a 30 second cooldown ability is too long for a simple ability, powerful or weak, and the Blizzard knows it, because they changed Sonic Arrow making it less powerful, but with less cooldown. So the same treatment with the res.
If you’ll res someone, it means you have time to heal him too. Your mate will have invincible seconds after rez, and that is the perfect moment to heal. In Valkyrie, this will be more simple: you’ll res and thanks chained beam you can heal him and also your team.
If you res, for example, a Tracer, you will be able to heal her fastly. She has 150 HP, res will bring her 75 HP, but you can heal her fastly and this won’t be problem.
This will make Mercy more decisional: you will think who res! I could res that roadhog, thinking that he will have anyway many HP and he can heal himself, so i res him and i go to heal my mates while he returns healing him and join again in the fight.
Thank you
