More than Viable, she is top tier.

These people can’t think like that, because it never happened to them. The answer is always “I’d play something else” when they absolutely wouldn’t.

Maybe you can have Mercy 1.0 back, the one with nerfed GA, and no Invulnerability, and no E.

I’m sure thats much more fun.

I don’t get why people enjoy playing Deathmatch but I have no issue with them doing that, and I don’t really need to understand the appeal. Live and let live.

Less decision making.

If one has more to do but those things are distasteful… things are not more fun. waves at E Resurrect

Thanks for nothing, Jeff. Mercy was both popular and fun before her rework. Now she’s popular, because the one thing you didn’t mess with was her standard healing and mobility, save for the GA bug that you ended up keeping as a feature. Her pickrates and winrates are the same because her primary kit is the same as ever - it’s Valkyrie that’s not fun or useful, as you’ve robbed her of her play-making abilities.

Honestly? I’d take that over the current one.

Brig is busted, Mercy is still THE support of OWL.

Where you around at release? Flying in for the rez = death?

hey @moderators can we put this thread into mega-thread ? thanks.

I showed up a bit after release… before Mercy got her main heal beam buffed from 50 to 60. Before Zen got 200 HP.

Loooong before the Mercy Rework happened.

You jest, but I would seriously love that.

High risk high reward supporting has always been something I loved, Mercy was the only option for that in Overwatch.

(Ana however is high risk LOW reward, so lets not even go there. I realize as soon as I say that people are like “BUT ANA!”, yeah but Ana ain’t a reward.)

But res is still a “play making” ability, a good res can turn a fight in your favor, the rework is a straight buff to her.

Ok then. So how to utilize Valkyrie so it would have any value?

When she plummets to bottom tier again, you KNOW the tune would change. Lets be honest with ourselves here.

Just wait until stage 4. You’ll owe me a beer if it turns out that Brigitte will take Mercy’s place.

On the other hand, the fact that I won a game easily in 3 support composition makes me believe that something similar will happen there too in Junkertown.

If Brig goes in like this, I agree.

Doesnt change that stages 1-3 have been Mercy’s play land.

If you aren’t having fun with Mercy, pick a different hero

What they’re trying to state with statements like these is that there shouldn’t be a thing like a Mercy player, you should be an Overwatch player and use the hero that best suits your comp, not the one you like just for the sake of it, team game, period
