Unfortunately OP is one of those types who does, genuinely believe that mercy is one of the most OP heroes in the game and does, indeed, want her nerfed into irrelevance.

I laugh at it because the people Blizz actually listens to (pros who are actually good at the game) say she’s balanced so I rest easy

oh ik!! its just ridiculous that ppl actually have an issue with her! like if you just focus her down she’s easy pickings. It’s like watching that clip of xqqc whinging about her superjump while you are seeing him suck WIND on orisa.

gurl have i done something to you?
You flagged a thread 5hrs dead with “Aw, crud here we go again.” There was no need for this. Though since it has been done…
Honestly, Mercy’s damage boost is really only an issue in the game when break points for KOs are actually lowered. Specifically people going from being 2-hit KO’d to 1-hit KO’d.
Ashe was the only character in ages to have any sort of break point like this that actually mattered. It brought her scoped headshot from a 2HKO to an instant kill from long range. Pretty powerful for a character that could take over Widowmaker’s spot for less range, but more utility. However, that got nerfed and now all other characters still fit this whole ~70 or 120 dmg as a maximum shot. This idea on damage per shot has been around since the game’s start. Usually, people with 120 dmg per shot can never headshot. Look at concussion mines, junkrat explosives, pharah rockets, and symmetra orbs. They are slow moving projectiles with no way to headshot. Its always a minimum 2HKO regardless of what damage boost is there.
Though Mercy’s not the only one to blame for this. Discord is also a huge culprit as well for doing 25-30% extra damage. Its another thing keeping damage values to fixed increments. At the moment, the only character that gets a noticeable reduced TTK is on Reinhardt’s 85 dmg per swing. He can 2HKO 200hp heroes on damage boost. This is probably still not that bad because its very limited range and not as powerful as being able to 1HKO from up to 30m away every <1 sec interval for attempts.
In the end, mercy’s damage boost is not that great. Her single target healing is probably pretty OP for low tier. But at higher tier the single target and ONLY single target is a huge weakness against burst damage which is most of the meta. Her only consistent usage throughout all of her being bad in the game is helping flying units.
but i like it…
and i think i will keep doing it 
mercy is legit the hero with the least amount of self agency over their own value and you want to nerf her despite the fact that the numbers on all the effects she has have been fine (i.e. not oppressive nor OP) for literally years…
she could have 10% damage boost and y’all will still call mercy OP and needing nerfs if there’s 1 dps that exists that can manage like a consistent 182 burst (which’d get boosted to 200) rather than the dps hero.
there’s limits on how much a 
one can be.
that wasnt nered, zarya and mercy took the bullet for hanzo there, zarya got a smaller ult radius and mercy can no boost deployable ults like dragons or molten lava or dva ult.
ashe is the only one to take a nerf because of the interaction with mercy, and the easy1 shot she provided was always going to be a touchy balance debate.
okay devils advocate, we ner dmg boost what does it change?
less close to breaking point dps character get nerfed of their interactions making the higher ranks slightly better, but it pushes mercy further into simple minded healer. On top of that mercy is not played because she dmg boost in the lower ranks they play her because shes simple and not bad like moira for healing people consistently.
so it just serves to make low ranks worse, the character worse and even more simple just so higher ranks can feel better about their dps picks not getting nerfed because the simple mercy player pressing a button
I honestly forgot about that one, but then again that was just keeping the ability from being damage boosted. As in it was keeping the wall/shield piercing ultimate from killing graved teams even faster.
Also Does Pharah need buffs? like she is still frequently played in OWL, she is map dependent but still played.
how is it mercys fault that cree and hanzo are good?

Even if we pretend that those heroes were nerfed because of Mercy, what is wrong with doing so to force a niche into the game that Mercy could occupy? It’s not like the end result is unbalanced.
ok then nerf the healing back to 50HPS if not dmg boost so she also doesn’t heal good and also do much damage at the same , one thing is needed to be nerfed
Needs a nerf anyway

Nah, she’ll still suck even after you nerf those guys.
Ah yes, because the change from 50% to 30% is “the same”.
They changed it to 50% from 30% for like a week and then changed it back to 30%
Yes, there was a tiny amount of time where it was 50%, but as far as you should be concerned it was always 30%. It was Zenyatta’s discord that started at 50%
You know that Mercy losing 5 healing per second is pretty meaningless, right? She isn’t going to suddenly become significantly less powerful because it takes one more second to heal Hog to full health.
