How id change mercy - as a mercy main

CREDITS

smoofy for the resurrect changes;
Mercy Rework from a Mercy Enjoyer - no resurrect

i’ll explain them below;

Caduceus Staff

  • Healing per second reduced from 55 to 50
  • Damage boost reduced from 30% to 25%
  • Weapon swap time reduced from 0.35s to 0.25s

Guardian Angel

  • When the ability is pressed, it provides mercy 65 hps on her staff and a 30% damage boost
  • The boost has a 1.25 second cooldown and lasts 3 seconds and doesn’t work in Valkyrie

Angelic Blessing

  • No longer is Resurrect
  • A single target 50 health burst heal that reduces the targets cooldowns by 20% upon use
  • it has a 0.35s cast-time
  • it has the same animation, sound, and VFX as resurrect with no cast time
  • 10 second cooldown
  • it’s range is visually like Brigitte’s Repair Pack, except the maximum range is 15 meters

Valkyrie

  • Healing per second on a main target increased from 60 to 75
  • Damage boost on a main target increased from 25% to 45%
  • Healing per second on a chained ally reduced from 60 to 50
  • Damage boost on a chained ally reduced from 30% to 20%
  • Duration reduced from 15s to 12s
  • Resurrect replaces Angelic Blessing, and has an instant cast time
  • Using Resurrect places Guardian Angel on a 1.5s cooldown
  • Ultimate cost reduced by 7%
  • Damage increased from 20 to 25

the staff changes are to make pocketing less effective to balance out her general pocketing and to make her gameplay smoother with the less swap time

the GA changes are to reward players for using her movement and to get rid of the “Mercy players sit and stay behind a wall pocketing their DPS main” and to also make her healing up to par with other supports

the rez rework is to make her more pro active then re active and to give her an ability to use more than 3 times a match, also to make it less frustrating to face mercy

the valk changes are to make valkyrie more rewardful and fun to use

Everything seems balanced but angelic blessing, burst heals is strong enough combined with base staff heals, but messing with cooldowns is whole another level of broken

No matter what we want, one thing is sure: the devs will never accept help from some random people. Mercy needs a change, but will not get one. The community is good at seeing that there is a problem, but bad at pointing out WHAT is the problem or how to address it. They know that much.

Go to the code: Search for Mercy. Then delete. That’s how I would change her.

deleting heroes isn’t good

Ah yes the only defense Mercy has is her mobilty and you removed it, she become a sitting duck

where did i remove guardian angel

better than completely reworking it and annoying players that like it. Rather build a new hero then fresh from the drawing board.

why do that when you can easily fix the charavter instead and make them fun to play?

mercy players only play her for her mobility. reworking her into rewarding good use of her mobility will increase the fun

You changed it for her mobility to health a tiny health boodt and boost to healing and DB and a little to her pistol, which still mames her a sitting duck and easy pick

i BUFFED her guardian angel so she has a decent HPs and her old damage boost back so she’s effective still. that change encourages the use of Guardian Angel so it rewards Mercy Players using GA and it’ll especially reward high level mercy players who constantly know how to use her GA.

no way did i remove GA, increase its cooldown, strip its mobility, nothing. i simply just buffed it to make it buff her staff :slight_smile:

Angelic blessing’s CD reduction + Orisa means an even more un killable horse. She’ll be CD cycling so much more now…

who said orisa wouldn’t be properly nerfed too?

10s javelin spin maybe 12 along with 8s javelin

dream tbh
