Having Mercy be non meta is okay

In every mercy thread theres a gazillion mercy mains saying a form of “we didnt ask for this” and that implies that for the other reworks someone did ask for that?.

No it does not.

We’re saying that A =/> R (A does not imply R, R being rework)
That is definitely not equivalent to say | If X =/= A
                                                                  |X => R
Logic.

@Hyphen-21921

They actually did. It was on 100% pick rate with 0 counters to mass ress.

100% pickrate is probably a bit hyperbolic.
And seriously, 0 counters ?
Hold on:

Whenever Mercy resurects her team, her allies become very visible and immobile during 2.25s. Most of the time they are either all grouped up in a very small area (after a Zarya ult for example) or they are all spread up. They have bad positioning because you had time to take control of the area.
You have the advantage of being the first to shoot.
While they are invulnerable, you have the time to

• Setup the best D.Va ult you have ever seen
• Tell your Reaper to prepare spinning
• Launch your graviton surge to instantly shut down some (if not all) of them
• Ask your favorite cowboy to tell them what time it is
• Use Mei’s Blizzard
• Prepare to release your EMP
• Meteor strike them all
• RIP-Tire in their face
• Blink blink blink recall, then blink again and finally stick your bomb to someone
• Start raining the justice from above
• Prepare to hearthshatter them all
• If you don’t have any of the precedent options available, you can still put their head in the center of your screen, and left click

And yet is implied. And yet, any non mercy user who thinks the rework is good are constantly thrashed and bashed 100% of the time. So yeah, you may not write that, but the ACTS speak volumes.

Citation needed.

No when the character is clearly overpowered or has a mechanic that puts other heroes in the same role to shame. If something is a “must pick” not because of popularity but for effectiveness and value, a nerf should be done.

Almost everything had to be nerfed in her kit in order to keep E-rez.
One of her oldest buffs, the one who made her much more viable, has been reverted.
Bad design.

@Hyphen-21921

It was LITERALLY the reason of the rework. Because that skill had no counters. LOL.

Yeah, no counters…
