when you kill her once wait for her at her spawn and make her regret leaving her own spawn alone.
always the biggest pleasure. bonus points when they complain in chat and even better when they refuse to swap.
because many of them are not capable of playing another hero.
if they can good for them but its rather rare.
things like the tracer bullet nerf revert helps a lot i can say. makes it actually viable to go for her.
sorry i got nervous >-<
Three games in a row of playing “hide from Hanzo or Widow” / “hunt the Pharah” / “flee the Ram” / “avoid the Hog” / “hunt the Genji” / “find the Sombra”… the list goes on. All heroes are a pain when they’re decently well played.
I didn’t say freely. The lower cooldown allowed you to zip around. Now you get stuck floating. It’s impossible to be in the air with no cover in my games in comp or QP. People have cracked aim and good tracking. I think these people complaining have low mmr. I get GMs in my QP games so… Every game is sweaty, so I usually end up switching to Ana. I can also shoot her down with ease on support unless she takes cover. People complain about Pharmacy. Not even a survival option in my games.
Yeah, that’s all she’s ever done unless there is a version of her I haven’t played that didn’t.
I’m a pretty good Mercy. I had a hard time dealing with 2 GM balls yesterday. A good ball can handle her. There are a lot of bad balls, so it may seem that way.
She straight unplayable in my games. How do you think Mercy feels about Sombra or even Soldier? Work on you aim and tracking or just go on Sombra.
That’s funny, because I have to switch to Ana when a lot of healing is needed. Mercy can’t heal burst at all.
It needs high burst damage too. He gets discorded and hard focused. It’s a moot point, because he’ll be getting nerfed soon. You’re in a bad situation if you lose your tank.
She is. I can’t really play her now. She’s too clunky. If you’re in games where people don’t have bad aim, you can’t fly around like these people think. They just have bad aim and take their frustration out on Mercy.
Have you tried Soldier 76, Sombra, Ashe, or Widow?
Only in ELOs where people are learning how to aim and track. You guys are missing your shots. That’s not Mercy’s fault.
She’s already nerfed into the ground. Completely unplayable with people who have aim and can track. She’s going to get a buff.
it was stated by the person I originally replied to
“That’s because she can zip around freely.”
this does indeed seem to be the case
Yeah OW1 Mercy in multiple iterations where she was able to act as a main support before getting nerfed into an ONLY EFFECTIVE pocket. We’re there times she pocketed? Yes but she was rewarded more for swapping between her teammates for greater ult charge.
Like when that play style started to creep up (thank you Goodman so glad you’re gone)-Mercy players went “hey can we rework her back to her main support status?”
And want to know what they were met with? “No she’s supposed to be a pocket support you just want her OP/must-pick!”
They saw that making her pocket being the ONLY EFFECTIVE playstyle was going to cause issues. AND LOOKY HERE!! It has.
So guess everyone who said “No she’s supposed to be a pocket support” you got what you wanted.
And I hate playing against Ana, the new dumb hero, Pharah, Hanzo, Widow, Torb … the list goes on.
Which are not my words.
Part of me thinks a solution outside of ingame is to give Mercy’s freedom of movement back that was taken away back in Season 3 (S3 was Feb 7 2023 and wasn’t given justice on the April 11 2023 patch, that “revert” was a hidden harder nerf to how it worked).
The idea was to give movement but nerf Damage Boost, but I was informed back in S6 that Damage Boost did get nerfed there… So all there is left is for Mercy to be given back her movement and work from there.
I wish I can say the same, but Mercy’s movement is nerfed back in S3. So tbf I am down to see Mercy players get that movement back, they deserve it.
Mercy’s been nerfed since OWL ended. Which version of Mercy was it? I can’t imagine going in there with Genji in this state. She’d just get shot down.
correct
as I said, this comes from earlier in the overall conversation
I think you and I are in agreement on the overall matter
i always say that in this forum if someone uses overbuff to call a hero broken then overbuff is wrong and invalid. If someone uses overbuff to call a hero weak then overbuff is 100% right.
i mean, i enjoyed ow1 mei, i loved ow1 sombra, her hacks were so fun to use
why does your fun is more important than mine? if they got rid of my enjoyment with these 2 characters because it was unfun for a lot of people then they can get rid of mercy playstyle because a lot of people find it unfun
I made no such statement
right here you are implying that they should not get rid of her because a lot of people find it fun to play. You’re implying that it doesn’t matter that her playstyle is obnoxius and unfun for other people.
i quoted the wrong line
add me on discord owo xd:

thx gm dps carry king xx
Yeah I agree. Every game is this annoying mini game of hunt the mercy. It really turns me off playing.
Only mercy mains defending her pretty much the consensus she makes the game more unfun.
They could give her a full rework and raise her skillcap i would love to play a battle Mercy maybe that could melee with the staff to knockback and her healing could charge a bust laser that comes from her staff. They could make her like a flying Zen and make her SO fun to play the current design is bad for Mercy players and everybody else.
It’s really a focus fire/team issue. If your whole team hunts the mercy (or just get a sombra to do it) then she doesn’t last long…
Illari bap Junk torb soldier sym sombra orisa hog, all are more unfun to play against by far.
