I miss this game. I miss Mercy

There are 29 heroes, will be 30 in about 2 weeks. I have fun when I play Mercy, I’m sure you lot can find another hero to have fun on.

this is only true for some of the anti-Mercy faction - not nearly all of them, as this statement implies

although the above is stated as a fact, I see it as an opinion, and not an opinion held by all Mercy players.

Certainly not held by me, for example

It seems you aren’t understanding that they weren’t intentional to happened during the rework.

They were bugs that occurred during it.

They’re part of her kit now, but they were not made on purpose.

They were completely unintentional.

And that’s just sad that they are considered to be the best points of her rework-when they were never planned to be in it.

Yeah because I totally want to play with 150 Widow body shots, 150hp Zenyatta, space time Roadhog hooks, 50hps with no E Mercy, useless Symmetra, tank busting McCree, etc.

Bunny hop works differently than when it was a bug. Original, you achieved it by hoping rapidly, hence the name, after using it. This version could only be used on the ground and super jump wasn’t possible.

Classic overwatch was actually really bad. Mercy players want it but I really don’t think they remember how bad Mercy was when the game was released. All the movement abilities she has now were not there, her passive healing didn’t start for 3 seconds, her ult didn’t allow teammates to come back and play for I think almost 3 seconds, her healing was 50HPS all the time, she had no E ability like she was garbage.

The devs changed them in how they worked when they were made into features. Bunny hop works differently than when it was a bug. Originally, you achieved it by hoping rapidly, hence the name, after using it. This version could only be used on the ground and super jump wasn’t possible.

Rez the ability definitely isn’t the same. You are stuck in those gross immovable realm where you can’t crouch, shoot, jump, switch weapons, guardian angel, etc. The range of the ability is like one half of a finger nail. If you get booped or stunned at all you don’t get the revive and the ability goes on a 30 second cooldown anyway. The fact that the ability is on a 30 second cooldown itself is very frustrating. No matter how poorly or well I perform it’s still the same wait. The fact that a lamp post can deny starting the revive is silly…

Not really. She heals less, which affects her ability to do anything else. Since it takes longer to heal someone, you have less time to DMG boost and have to stay longer on the same ally, meaning you can’t guardian angel to someone else, and while you were busy taking forever to heal that ally, another died…its screws up her entire gameplay. Not to mention new Ress makes you stand still, so you can’t heal AND might die in the process. It destroys her high mobility-based gameplay flow.

If you don’t like it, don’t play it. That’s why it’s a proposed arcade mode, not “let’s revert the entire game”

Yes, I know all of those tragic truths. I still want that Mercy more than anything.

52

It didn’t help but they were already up in arms because the new hero is a “nerf” to mercy and the patch notes did not include her

Which is the case every single time a hero is released and patch notes drop :confused:…it’s like clockwork

53

They would never put old versions of heroes into an arcade mode. They want people to move on from those past variations and embrace the new ones. Let alone if people got that they would want it in comp and demand it more and more.

54

You…really aren’t getting that they were not intended to be part of her kit from the start of the rework are you?

They. Were. Bugs. From. The. Start.

They eventually were added to her kit. But it doesn’t change the fact that they were not INTENTIONAL from the very beginning.

Yes, they were tweaked-but they were still a bug.

You can keep repeating that they aren’t the same as they were, but it doesn’t change the fact that they were a bug.

Bunny Hop and Super Jump, were unintended bugs that were added as an afterthought to her kit AFTER they were tweaked and adjusted.

Bugs can happen.

And when the only highlights I hear about Mercy’s reworks are things that came from bugs…makes the actual rework come off as sad.

You are reaching at this point.

The hop wasn’t a planned feature. They might have expanded on it but they didn’t aim to improve her when they accidentally put it into the game. It was a happy accident.

And super jump, again, was an accident. The stuff they DID do intentionally ended up ruining the hero while the only good things were done accidentally, thats the situation we have now,

I dont think that would be true. Like the other post suggested, the early game had horrible problems. Those would be as evident as the good things.

57

Super Jump has never been addressed by the devs so any patch can remove it actually. Bunny Hop has been made a feature though. The more you know.

58

Doesn’t change the fact that Bunny Hop started as a bug.

Also tell that to Crusher about Super Jump they kept insisting that’s it’s a part of her kit.

59

I disagree, but if anything, her skill ceiling has been increased.

Yeah it almost require some thinking now more than press and forget.
