I actually spent the weekend going to parties until 1am, trying out new restaurants with my girlfriend.
The apartment is stocked with videogames, boardgames, beer, liquor and tons of folding tables and chairs. Also got a gaming laptop to better facilitate LAN parties.
But I’m glad you’re so concerned about my well being. 
Thing is, healer balance hasn’t really changed since then, with the exception of Valk Mercy seems and a higher strategy focus on Zenyatta.
Reverting Mercy to patch 1.14 would have pretty much the same results as the graphs I’m posting. Although probably less Lucio and more Zen.
Popularity =/= power
Post about any other hero
Popularity within a skill tier, is perceived power. Especially at higher skill tiers.
The difference is whether that power is dependent on other outside factors.
Rein pickrate, for instance, is heavily influenced by outside factors.
I.e. GravDragon, PulseBomb, Brigitte
And Rein pickrate can be easily reduced without changing Reinhardt.
I.e. Hammond, Orisa, Brig, Hanzo
cus most female overwatch players one trick mercy
She was the easiest to play healer, and the only one that could solo-heal, and the only viable main healer. For the most part, it’s like you’re complaining about Lucio’s pickrate in Lucioball; she was the only option.
Notice how the higher you go in ranked, the less used she is; in GM Lucio is picked more according to these stats.
perceived power =/= power
Mercy will pretty much always be popular. At least in my opinion. I played her during all seasons (when she was a troll pick and when she was a must pick) and I plan to keep playing her as long as I play OW.
If you mean right before the rework, then no, It would not be the same as now. Ana is slight better now, Lucio too, they added Brigitte and Moira, the meta has changed. If She would be reverted, She would not be a must like She is now
OP you’re right but you’re a in a support main forum. No amount of statistics will sway the general opinion that she was very good even before her rework.
Right now my complaint tier list is Mercy > Hanzo > Zen being the only good GravDragon counter > Brig is probably still OP but Zen is keeping her numbers down
Don’t think the devs are going to be responding to more Hanzo nerfs until sometime after the current Hanzo nerfs get off the PTR though.
with the amount of effort you put into “kill Mercy” posts… you could be making the “buff moira” movement much stronger
It’s amazing how persistent you are despite constantly being proven wrong.
mercy was a pub hero who thrived off bad coordination, but she wasn’t the best support by a longshot
now she’s actually the best hero in all levels of play
GreyFalcon. I’ve explained this to you once, twice, and three times already. Many many many other people have constantly explained this to you in the most fine detail, time and time again.
Once more GreyFalcon, I will explain it to you again, with these words organized per-line, as to not have any misunderstanding. Please pay attention.

OP.
Mercy was seen as a troll pick back then falcon… She was not OP. She just wasn’t. Her pick rates and win rates were LOWER then than they are now. This has been shown to you multiple times in the various threads you keep making about this one thing. Can we please just accept that and stop making threads about this? I’m starting to worry that this is becoming not just denial, but an obsession. And it’s really not going to help you change people’s minds on this.
You keep using that word “proven”, despite having no evidence.
In the same sense that a wall stops existing if you close your eyes and pretend it’s not there, sure.
More like someone keeps telling you there’s a wall, and you put your hand through it repeatedly to show that there is indeed not a wall, and they keep telling you it’s “proven” there’s a wall there.
“No, it’s not there because I say it’s not there!”
Literally proving my point.
Like showing a picture of the earth from space to someone that keeps telling you the earth is flat.
