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

nope… was meant to be a pure single target healer. that was her niche… therefore lucio is not fav anymore… his aoe healing is not that great and who needs speedboost these days when you can have rez.

Giving her valk as an ability would be removing rez as an ability, thus making Mercy less dominant overall and Lucio more viable. Also, I think Lucio’s Amp It Up needs a buff. When he uses Amp It Up, it should increase its range by double or triple, making his healing radius much larger during the 3 sec duration. Then Lucio would truly be THE AoE healer again.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Pharmacy is broken on consoles.

Like what do you want PC players to do for you?

Apologize? We’re sorry?

Like in High Elo Pharmacy is shut down REALLY easily on PC.

Console needs separate balancing from PC in my opinon. I mean, they said they would do that, but haven’t, so

But she isn’t fine anymore. People just want her fixed, we’re sick of seeing her as the #1 pick for the last 8 months.

Didn’t they nerf torb only on console because of the auto aim turret? At least I’m pretty sure that’s the only nerf that’s been different between console and PC.

I think we have a winner! Yay!

Haha, yeah, but then they reverted that change too, iirc.

Of course they did. :roll_eyes:

She’s not the #1 pick tho. Zen is the #1 pick and has been for far longer than Mercy. You can run Moira and still win, you can even run Ana and still win. But it’s almost impossible to win without a Zen, especially at higher ranks.

Yes, Mercy is too strong right now with her rez, but she’s no where near the #1 pick. For main support, yes, but not out of all supports.

Check statistics websites, Mercy is ALWAYS the higher pickrate.

So? Mercy was always the higherpickrate before the rework, she will always be one of the higher pickrates. She’s a community favorite, has one of the largest playerbases, etc.

Also, Rein is the most picked hero in the game right now on those “stats websites”. Does that mean Rein is OP/needs nerfs?

InútilApagar unfairly pushes a false narrative that Mercy to exaggerate her success to place excessive nerfs on her by just cherry picking Comp data. When in reality across the board Mercy has the weakest offense/defense capabilities and low pick rate a lot in duels/deathmatch/unlimited, and many other modes. Mercy is top heavy on support to balance because she has nothing else.

Mercy’s Original ULT was to resurrect all is a counter to DPS ULT that constantly team wipe. Another DPS Ult popped right after Mercy like in the video is another easy counter. Rock, Paper, Scissors. Balanced.

Yet fast forward today with excessive nerfs on Mercy. She’s barely left with a crumble or fair compromise. The two remaining quick resurrection are off the table. While DPS still gets to keep their Team Kill ULT, with a set of damage buffs over the years.

Imagine if DPS ULTS were hard capped to two max kills only. DPS players would say its unfun and almost pointless. It reeks of hypocrisy and double standards.

She is also the highest picked support in the OWL, and always has been… Pros don’t play their “favourite” heroes, they play the heroes who are most likely to win.

She doesn’t need a nerf, she needs another rework. She’s enabled by so many comps because of her high mobility, reliable healing, and a revive every 30 seconds. Res won’t be balanced as an E ability. An ultimate ability can’t be put onto a normal ability and be balanced. Single target res as an ultimate is not the solution. Many of us Mercy players never asked for a rework, and in my opinion MercyWatch was brought on by the community.

And there is no data that backs what you say up.

The people who cried mass res is OP created the Monster.

Just like everyone who cried about Scatter arrow created the new Hanzostien.

An ultimate ability goes to a normal ability? What could go wrong! :slight_smile:
