I just don't get all this Mercy complaining

Yes 2 players struggle to put out 35dps or 70dps total.

Dmg is stronger than healing in this game in general. Almost double with headshots

If it were that simple to output dmg the first pick would always take place in 3 seconds.

There’s corners, barriers, range fall offs, movement juking, on top of inaccuracies. And many more factors that make it hard to secure a kill.

The highest healing support is Ana when she can fully focus and doesn’t have to reload and that is like 80hps. Bap is 50-70. Moira is 70… all have downtime on their healing.

You can put a zen orb on genji at 30hps and he can go across the map and it’s still hard to kill through those heals.

It’s different when you have definite value vs theoretical value. Mercy’s healing is as close to definite as it gets. Same with zens since he can also go though barriers

You forgot that you are talking about Top 500 players… Some how I doubt that…

Those numbers you just used do include realoads… So no, not really.

And they do not include the burst healing those heroes can do.

So stop using dishonest arguments maybe?

85

I’m not using dishonest arguments. In a 5 player team at least 3 are going for dmg w 2 supports. Dmg is already stronger than healing.

Just based off of the math senecio you suggested. Shouldn’t a pick be secured by each team in the first couple of seconds?

86

Evidence to the contrary:

You are dishonest (deliberately or not - doesn’t matter).

With all the iFrames and mobility? not necessarily.

88

Anyone can pick any hero and rank up. This game is not competitive.

But with mercy especially you can drool a bit while holding left/rightclick and with a little luck you fly through the ranks. Look at some of the “mercy mains” that get posted here and watch them play any other hero.

89

Mercy healing is kind of a problem now.

But so is Widowmaker/hanzo/sojourn(still)

90

Is it trolling? Or Dunning-Kruger effect?

Nvm… Clearly trolling

91

I not a mercy main, but when i play her i can shoot you head with my pistol, thank you for understanding.

So you are refusing to engage honestly?

Got it.

I do not have time for trolls.

Bye forever then.

97

Well…mercy’s pistol has the biggest projectile hitbox in the game x)

98

Not true…

That crown goes to Sigma

Check your facts before you spew nonsense…

99

Ok “one of the biggest” if you prefer.

I didnt count the one that is litteraly about dealing aoe dmg lmao.

Or else lets also add rein’s fire strike.

Your comprehension is abhorrent and you just hold onto this little aim thing like a dog with a bone. It’s not about aim, it’s about need to engage with the enemy team. Lots of heroes do this without a high aim requirement. Rein, Monkey, Moira - none of these heroes need to aim and they’re all fine.

So you can toss this argument in the trash.

I’ve provided you with my problem statement: Mercy’s passive playstyle being able to completely dodge learning how to engage with the enemy team.

Try again.

Which is yet another reason Mercy’s design is terrible.

It’s not about aim or not aim. Mercy is just better and there’s no weakness to push to get her to swap off.

Your team can transition from dive to brawl to poke all without having to drop the mercy.
