LOL I guess standing by for 2 seconds isn’t enough ? Why not increase her cast time to 10. I guess it’d still not be enough to please people there… XD
And don’t tell me GA is op, it exists since day one.
Mercy IS a mobile healer. It’s her nature. It’s what she got for not dpsing.
Erm, Mercy’s current regen rate is caused by a relatively low survival rate back then. Mercy’s always been a priority target. (For reference, Mercy shipped with a 3 second delay before regen kicked in. This was reduced to 1 second, because Mercy was dying too often. GA was at some point changed from 2 to 1 second for the same reason)
No, it wouldn’t. Mass res Mercy was a worthless troll pick in high rank for several seasons, and it was because all she could do that was worthwhile was counter wombo combos. High rank games didn’t depend on wombo combos, they depended on single picks and coordinated dives onto the healers first. A dead Mercy can’t res, and it was ridiculously easy to kill Mercy before she got the ability to angel-hop.
Killing the effectiveness of wombo-combos in a wombo-combo meta makes it no longer a wombo-combo meta. It makes the wombo-combo less valuable, and gives other heros a chance to beat them.
There were not a single word of Rez cast time in my post. It seems you are seeing what you want to see.
Hook was 6 seconds for a year since release. Suddenly OP. Pulse Bomb did 400 damage for 2 years. Suddenly OP. Something existing since day 1 does not make it balanced. Even though GA is overtuned, if you actually read my post you’d see that I argue against GA nerfs.
It could be 2 seconds. Or it could kick in with lower HPS and increase in 1-2 steps to a current level. Indeed Mercy had low survival rate back in the day, she received so many changes in that regard that now she is the most survivable healer.
So much has changed I’m thr game since then dude
Yeah you talked about survivability.
So Mercy, standing like a statue for 2 seconds, isn’t enough ?
It often happens I manage to rez someone in a middle of a fight, and noone tries to kill me. Is it MY fault ? Or ennemies ?
Ga is part of her only way to survive, and totally depends on her team position. So op dude. Really.
No, that would be Moira, who heals herself for 50% more than Mercy’s passive while dealing damage in combat instead of waiting for 1 second out of combat, in addition to the ability to toss out a yellow orb with 300 healing every 10 seconds, giving Moira a total reliable self-healing output of 60 hp/sec, equal to Mercy’s beam. On herself. And she can become completely invincible while moving super fast every 6 seconds, just to top it all off.
That’s true, but I don’t think you’ve actually made a point by saying so.
Fact is with 1.75 cast, 1 second regen delay and 2(?) seconds GA Mercy dies the least of all healers. Her survivability is the best in class.
And yet Moira dies more often than Mercy. Oh, the mystery.
Yeah because guess what, she’s the only healer who doesn’t participate in team damages.
Are we not in sniper/Brigette meta now? How is mass res changing this. Let’s start there.
She more than makes it up by damage boosting and returning dead DPS/Tanks back to life. Ressed Genji who immediately goes Dragonblade 3k is Mercy’s damage contribution.
That’s called utility, it has nothing to do with damages.
So instead of going back on this ‘successful’ rework, which enables Mercy to do these things she shouldn’t, we nerf her some more?
Yeah I guess that’s the idea. They want Mercy to be trashest than Ana, and more of a heal bot than Moira.
Instead of buffing Ana, giving utility to Moira (ho, and not nerfing her ofc).
We’re not in a Brigitte meta, we’re in a Hanzo/Zarya meta.
Mass res changes the meta by saving us from Hanzo/Zarya combo. Like this: https://streamable.com/uwgzt
Not sure why I can’t post direct links now. I used to be able to.
How does that lower mercy’s pick rate? Why are we in a Hanzo Zarya meta? These are important questions
Why are we complaining about Mercy’s pick rate? Shouldn’t we be worrying about the dumpster-tier heroes, instead?
The objective isn’t to lower Mercy’s pick rate. The objective is to lower Hanzo’s pick rate, and maybe Zarya while we’re at it. The more direct method would be to simply nerf Hanzo. Maybe you would prefer that approach?
the solution is simple. Nerf grav by adding more outs. That is the problem here. Everything else is beating around the bush
So, you’re asking Blizzard to revert something? Hold on, let me go find some popcorn.
