Hacked mode from Mercy's perspective

Everything dies incredibly fast. Healing speed reminds the same. Rez has no point.

So it’s what we all wanted? Mercy to be irrelevant. Thank you Aaron Keller, you are the MAN!! + the self regen indirect incoming nerf!

Woo stole their money on Christmas and hit em with nerfs!

It not only Mercy, it feels like they wanted to destroy support as a kind.

This is mostly the game mode of dive being highly played. This hack QP has intentionally forced an entire dive meta hilariously simply with this shift alone.

Everything moves too fast to NOT play heroes which are either resistant to dive or high mobility. Its been Tracer/Sombra/Genji/Ball/Winston picks the entire time and naturally supports are priority #1, so its been a bunch of those similar heroes too being played.

Dive has always felt like a$$ to support plays.

and what counters dive? Brawl >:) I’ve been having fun on my thicc ice lady

If they’re steering game to direction when support role become irrelevant my Mercy will have to take her leave. Id rather have good memories than play some cod operative in her skin

The problem is that usually one teams tends to get a rather divey composition going while the other squanders to find the footing to actually make a counter swap.

Torbjorn/Brig would shut down a great deal of these comps and slow things down, but DPS keep picking non-antidive heroes generally. Similar with support players.

Had an Ana go MERCY into a Genji, Ball, and Sombra. Stupidest thing I’d seen all day. Marginally better than Ana, but wow, was it dumb.

Yeah, I never touched support roster until Moira/Brig came out because you finally had an option for avoiding being exploded upon when 2-3 people come to kill you for being the juiciest target to take out. Zenyatta can kill one person, he can’t live against 2+ people coming to kill you and no one on tank/dps will ever help you. Even with 2 tanks, you always had to take care of yourself.

So, I’ve always had a hatred for dive. I don’t mind dive lite with only like 1-2 units, but this has definitely forced and entire meta comp of dive heroes being played all the time. I expect by like day 2-3 of this people will get used to the new dive situation, but still plenty annoying.

Yeah, I was going to come back this weekend now that Mauga has been nerfed, and now I think I’ll wait until Monday. I don’t mind them trying things to see what works, but all these things all at once?

dps passive regen is more like a mercy buff though, more focus on dmg boost and less needed healing.

As Hana Solo brilliantly summarized

You can give Comp a try. I mean… the open queue mode is actually pretty relaxing and fun. People should give it a try.

I was plat and then dropped, cant fly , everyone was shooting. Maybe be this will be the only way if they will permanently hack qp

Well its pretty chaotic so just don’t take that rank seriously :grinning:

Thanks fren, i will consider it ! :slight_smile:

I find her to be fine. You just have to be good at keeping your distance and keeping moving, while never dying. Do that and healing is over the top, because there is soooooo much damage going around almost constantly. I’ve been well over 10k-14k+++ in extremely short games.

It’s frantic though. And you have to know when to bail when things start to go south.

If she lacks anything, it’s that she can’t really stall a point very well, unless you get ultimate. The mode is really damage focused as well, and since she can’t really pour it on, you’re not contributing to the fight as much as some others.

Pair with a good Winston and it’s awesome fun, IMHO.

Enemy DPS seem to have a hard time making you their prime focus, because the teams are so smashed together, and if they target fixate, your own dps/tank will distract them and free you up.

That’s my findings anyhow.

All that said, playing Lucio in the mode is awesome. Stick with your tank, use them as cover, boop people away or off the point/payload, shoot shoot shoot. He’s a better fit for the mode IMHO. For me anyhow.
