Forum Mercy is the best hero

General Discussion

Forum Mercy has rez.

Rez is OP in all possible scenarios, regardless of context.

Never forget that it actually reverts death.

Therefore Mercy shouldn’t receive any changes.

Can we please stop putting Rez on a pedestal and using it as a reason to try and shut down any discussion about potential Mercy changes?

On average Mercy gets about 5 rezes in a match regardless of skill rank.

That’s not so impressive when you look at kills the other supports are getting.

When you look at swinging a team fight with numbers, rez is actually pretty terrible compared to just doing some meaningful damage and securing a few kills.

It’s not worth to talk about this any longer. Mercy will not get reverted. Have a nice day.

I never said anything about revert.

I think rez is idealized and used as a reason to shut down Mercy discussions.

Why people feel rez is better than teammates never dying at all is what really confuses me. Dead teammates don’t fire at enemies and a rezzing Mercy is not supporting but exposing themselves to danger.

I thought Forum Mercy was the healer who can’t even outheal a Zenyatta that never uses his ult

Don’t think I’ve ever seen that

But how often do you get matches where no one ever dies

Actually have seen that, which I find really confusing.

Alright and you mentioning this one time in the forums will change that?
Just let them talk, who cares. The devs make decisions, not these hobby-wannabe devs on the forums.

I mean… the forums are for stating opinions and reflections…

That is correct but what’s the point of this post … ^^’

To state an opinion. I kinda agree, particularly as the changes to booping makes it an even harder ability to pull off, but eh… I’ve just been damage boosting mostly as of late and I don’t have the energy to go and rez someone who died in the enemy’s spawn zone…

I can’t distinctly remember but I’m pretty sure any sort of knockback no matter how minor it was before would cancel the rez

so the increased distance shouldn’t have any effect

12

Some knockbacks interfered with her flight differently, and if they didn’t knock her back enough, she’d get the rez off. Now, every knock back should be able to reliable cancel it, due to the constant distance all of them make, and they seem to just immediately cancel any of the target’s momentum.

It’s the same with the dive tanks, after leap or booster, you can toss them back quite a distance.

I dont think anyone ever said that. Aside from very questionable Mercy mains who probably end up making us look bad. Mercy has a lot of issues but her being outhealed by zen isnt one of them.

I think the point is that OP feels a lot of discussion about Mercy’s balance ends with “but she has rez, and rez is always super strong”, thus shutting down any discussion about her kit as a whole.

My interpretation at least.

I will say though that Mercy will have one hell of a time saving a focused target. Several of the healers can definitely deal with it better or bring better utility than Rez (in terms of how often and potent their utility is). It certainly feels a lot better while healing in Valk form, as while they will still die when focused, the healing at least feels better.

16

Yes, as I said, she has a lot of problems. The example that zen outheals her isnt one of them though.

How about this… rez IS terrible in any mode. People fail to focus that flying moth… and the more i face this kind of things, the more i hate mercy as a character.
Blizazrd should finally remove rez from the game and after this they should give mercy some love.

More like forum mercy is the most underpowered hero and a troll pick that can’t do anything.

I see those way more often.
