And I hate playing this character now. Down to how unfun her kit is, to how unfun it is to play against trying to even kill anything with a pocket. I swapped to Moira for a way more better challenge, and Mercy is easily the easiest support to play with so much value it takes to play her.

The treatment mercy players get is rather rough. Also have we been in the same game youâre familiar

Pocketing is the only way to play her, shes not a main healer anymore (which is complete nonsense) and the devs + community obviously want her to be a sidelines sidekick that right clicks + shifts behind a DPS all game, so nothing will change. Shes a sidekick, not a hero. Shes not a main healer, and shes not an off healer, shes a frankenstein mess of a hero that has no real purpose besides the mentioned above, terrible game design.

Oh so you think a hero you have 1000+ hours on is easier than a hero you donât play? How strange⌠

Pocketing is merely one of many ways to play her. I see the pocketing playstyle as suboptimal in most circumstances, but yeah, she can be played that way
Mercy is now and always has been a main healer

really 1000+ hours and it is mercy easiest? I find lucio easier to play as I can make an easier play with him and it only takes 1-2 ults or 1-2 solid boops of the map or harassments to do it. Feel more like an outlier or troll thread tbh.
why: Because I have an aura and better agency compared to mercy. I can keep doing my own actions and provide value so long as people are in range. This makes KoTH so much fun.

You play mercy? I find most supports that offer heaps of value, arenât very fun to play.

All those hours and yet mercy is not only easy, but you also hate playing her and hate playing into her. Idk if I believe that unless you hate playing Overwatch in general and you want to just punish yourself. Plenty supports to choose from, yet you continued to play mercy to this point since the rework.

iâm the excact same im a gm mercy main that hates playing against her and notice how easy she is
Counterpoint: Iâm not a support main, but Mercy is my most played support by a wide margin. I think sheâs fun.

How did you come to the conclusion they donât play other support? Iâm not saying youâre wrong, but their post only says they switched to moira.
Honestly canât believe youâre gm and think mercy is easier to get value out of than bap brig zen or anaâŚ
Mercy hasnât been great in the high end of the game for awhile now, and youâre a private profile⌠none of this is adding up lmao
Also-
Youâre trolling lol

I mean unless they play pocket-bot I can see. But like thatâs not how GOOD GM Mercy playsâŚat all.
Theyâre zipping all over the map and only rarely hard pocket-and thatâs if theyâre having a DPS popping off and carrying.
Sure there are GM Mercy who just pocket-bot. But again thatâs really not the best value from her. So my guess if theyâre a pocket-bot player.

Sounds accurate, pocket botting and being afk while some overpowered dps whoâs carrying everyone does the work for you is the least active, least fun and easiest way to play mercy definitely. And not really that effective anyway if everyone is on the same level.

Bruh yâall need to stop thinking mercy solely exists just to damage boost. Sheâs fine as a healer and she does that role well. Pocketing is a situational niche that depends on the other playerâs capabilities and shouldnât be a top priority
Masters and below maybe

Itâs frustrating because, as a fellow GM support player, if you suggest changes to Mercy, a huge portion of the playerbase gets up in arms about it. Mercy needs changes. Sheâs not fun to play as, against or with anymore, and certainly not at her âpeakâ playstyle (ie, like in GM), which is arguably the least interesting way to play her.
Weâre not always talking about Mercy nerfs here. Sheâs not really unbalanced. Weâre talking about reworks and tweaks to add agency to the hero to make her more fun, and add skill expression so you raise her skill ceiling. This likely means veering her away from hard - pocketting.

I know, Ive been saying the same thing for years, but the neo mercy mains condone the pocketing and only but, while the anti mercy ppl just want her nerfed into an afterthought
As an OG,I just want a rework that makes her fun to play, and at least feels like im dishing out some direct impact for my team or w/e, I don want her to be OP, and I dont want her to have high pickrates (this will only be accomplished with the release of new supports that check all the waifu/egirl boxes as well, the popularity of mercy has HIGHLY inflated her pickrates). But ppl dont seem to realize that mercy isnt actually âfineâ, that her advertised role of being the âgo to healer for raw healingâ and âwe want mercy to swoop in and save someone, we want people to go ââoh my god that mobilityââ and ââwow that healingâââ. Things she kind of does but youre not âsavingâ anybody with this kit, besides the occasionally E button press that feels awful to use every single time.
Thats just my take tho
