Fix Mercy, starting with

Starting with removing rez and valk for good.
After that we can actually find new abilities for her E and Q. But this time, get the ideas from reasonable Mercy players, like Titanium.

This game is for the players then let the players help you make it more likeable

If players ever balanced this game, we’d all leave for good.

I don’t think taking suggestions from players is the same as balancing it.

It goes hand in hand. You can’t re-work or change a hero without putting it on a balance to match other heroes.

They balance the game from player feedback all the time. A number of the balance changes to the game are from Twitch Streamers and OWL players.

And do you see the problem with that? Because I do.

I certainly do see a problem with that. They are responsible for some of the mess the game is currently in.

But you have to agree that players do have a part in balancing the game and not everyone has left.

remove rez but keep valk, then find another replacement to rez, then revert all nerfs

Of course, but they’re all on the forum demanding nerfs and buffs. But like you said, players are often responsible for how shaky balancing is.

You simply cannot please everyone, and taking tips from players tends to just cause toxicity from x main to x main. For some, their hero is fine and could use some buffs, while others think otherwise.

I know, firstly I’m using their name as an example of reasonable mercy main, nothing more. secondly, I’m okay with having mass rez back (but with some reworks of course)
Its just the fact that people will never stop complaining if rez and mercy being viable both exist at the same time

I dont think we should say that titaniums opinion matter more than the majority of mercy players, but i dont’ even know why people are complaining about the rework still jeff already said he thinks shes in a good place and that wont change.

I gave up on mercy long ago. I’m a sym one trick for life now.
I hope the mercy players get what they want. I know one things for sure, they’ll never stop being treated like crap and generalized by the forums for no reason. It makes me feel for them but meh, I get that treatment too as a sym one trick reee.

Also, my personal idea for a mercy rework:

Primary: Healing Stream

• HPS increased from 50 to 60

A revert here to give her back her healing power.

New E Ability: Rescue

Mercy administers first aid to an ally, restoring more % of their maximum HP the lower their HP is.
Cast: Instant
Range: 5 meters
Cooldown: 12 seconds

This gives mercy a burst heal tool that can be used to help her heal up a high HP tank or even just emergency refresh any teammate in need of rescue.

New Ultimate Ability: Salvation

Mercy fully restores her and her teams health.

100% of maximum HP heal to all teammates.

Cast: Instant
Range: Infinite (Global ult)
Cost: 1800

Salvation offers Mercy a unique and powerful feeling ultimate that can be used from anywhere on the field to fully restore her teams HP and help prevent deaths before they happen.

The idea is to make Mercy prevent deaths rather than undo them by giving her better healing power and a full cure mechanic on ult rather than a death undoing tool.

I Really like the idea of mercy having a counter to CC (I.e a cleanse of a sort.)
This would really help out with the whole hellish CC n stuff people are all complaining about
