How many Mercy posts until we get a response?

Just curious, as the thread is approaching 20,000 posts. That is not counting the tens of thousands of posts on the old forums that aren’t accounted for in the new forums post.

Those who are interested in a solid recap of the problems with mercy can find it here: https**://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/feedback-thread-continued-mercy-updates-jan-30-2018/2151/3529

TLDR? Valkyrie is useless.

  • 5 person damage boost for 30% is comparable to Zen’s ‘e’ ability, which has no cooldown, allows him to heal AND fire while its active, and affects 6 people (assuming they focus fire which, you know, they should be…)

  • Chain healing for 60HPS is useless in team fights where enemies have enough intelligence to focus fire (As mentioned above, they should be). All but 2 characters in this game (Winston/Moira) can do more than 60dps.

  • 75% of DPS characters are capable of killing all 6 enemy teammates with their ultimate, however a single instant res is apparently OP? Give me a break.

  • Mercy nerfs literally remove 80% of Valkyries abilities and gave absolutely nothing back. These nerfs were intended to decimate the character to appease the Pro OWL players who couldn’t stand the fact that a support character actually had the ability to impact the fight as much as their precious DPS.

EDIT
At the very least I think her heal beam needs a boost in valk form.

Your target should get 90hps and the chains should do 45hps, rather than everyone getting 60.

Overall this is technically a nerf, but allows you to focus heal (as the enemies are focus firing).

Blizzard, we humbly request a response.

That is all.
