You do know that overbuff goes off of statistics of OPEN profiles? That really does change the overall available data information
Even before the last nerf to her there were many people who felt he wa Underpowered becaue they in playingg her didnât feel her power. Becaue Mercyâ power is in all the passive places that are out of her control
- Mercyâs favourite pocket target got buffed in this patch so of course Mercy is going to go up for a bit.
Undo her Valk pistol nerf tbh. Or any of the other 12 mini nerfs sheâs had since they finally found âthe oneâ that âfixedâ her.
The problem is that they dissected her kit so much sheâs just bones now. Static numbers. Static rezzes. Her potential is too limited⌠just so they can keep her rez on E.

Yup. Becaue they donât realize that Rez i too powerful for an E and has to be a Q in some form

Itâs almost as if that hero is more useful on higher ranks with people who are more skilled to handle her (like any hero). And almost as if those teams also know how to support their supports.

tbh it used to be OP. Now, it doesnt really impact much because you either rez before or after a team fight. too risky mid fight and can cause server stagger.
i dont feel heroic 
like, i know rez has its problems and all but that felt heroic at least. Its not easy to pull off a good Valk due to how rare you can coordinate it with teams plus Iâd want to use it to damage boost and initiate a push but i end up just wasting it on healing and trying to keep team alive and its a big mess specially when enemy starts to ult, i cant do much but back away.
I understand where you come from c: although itâd still be nice if they provided a more impactful ult? the suggestion if keeping it a solo target with like 70 heals and increase of damage boost as well, like amping up a kit of the player, itâs pretty cool! at least i know i can out heal some ults to save 1 member or the other, toggle quick enough to help the other members too!
mhm i agree its not that bad but stats dont show how impactful a hero is and I still play mercy because i love her GA the best, the most fun to use but it gets tiring when I canât do anything about a situation when my ult cant even help me improve my team
except his is aoe and she does ST healingâŚalso doesnt her herself whiel being damaged.
but it NEEDS talked about so devs learn how sh*t it is and do soemthing about itâŚ
Pharmercy I wonder? Mercy is still a boring sidekick other than that, being Pharahâs pocket heal/damage boost wonât change that.
If you want to talk about an ultimate thatâs 0% fun, look at Genjiâs.
Sure, when you get a nice highlight play out of it once in a blue moon it can be âfunâ, but most of the time itâs not.
You spend 40-70 seconds on average using his underwhelming kit to farm up a Dragonblade then you need to wait for all the stars to align to be able to use it without being easily shutdown / countered.
Seriously, when you think about it, itâs really quite easy for half-decent players to shut down a blading Genji, so many tools at their disposal to do so.
- Hack / EMP (Takes longer to unsheathe than it does to hack)
- Transcendence / Sound Barrier
- Flashbang
- Zarya Bubble(s) / Graviton Surge
- Brigitteâs Shield Bash, Armor Pack, Rally & Inspire give a non-nanoboosted Genji a hard time when blading.
- Most of Doomfistâs kit
- Bionade, Sleep Dart & Nanoboostâs heal + damage reduction
- Moiraâs Fade
- Reaperâs Wraith Form
- Meiâs Cryofreeze / Wall
etc.
Even just having decent target priority and aim can easily shut down a blading Genji, if they did buff him just giving him CC immunity or Heal-Deny on blade swings would completely fix these issues, but I doubt thatâd happen and if it did the forums would probably riot regardless of if it was actually balanced or not.
ok so get a 2v2 winston and some dps vs mercy and some dps.
you are comapring a 1v2 situation there. get a dps to help that winston and mercyâs heals are BOOM gone. ana, moira, brigitte, even lucio and zen would better be off helping in that situation. they have abilities to help heal more AND deal damage or help in other ways. so like shhhhhhhhhhh enough with the winston âonly does 10 dpsâ you arent even putting it in a GAME where there is TEAM WORK. so like just sh pls not even a stupid monkey would jump a mercy and her dps without getting some sort of help.
also i know i just the team work thing but if mercy cant even help her own team, sheâd better be switching off honestly.
WRONG! Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Can we please stop trying to make the most pathetic argument imaginable? Yes, you canât statistically quantify âfunâ so I understand how you guys latched on to that argument when stats fly in the face of every other Mercy argument you make, but PLEASE. Saying that expanding someoneâs kit somehow made them LESS FUN is just asinine.
I got my first âSharpshooterâ Mercy POTG today while using Valk to murder two Pharahs. That was probably the most fun I had playing today. Anyone who says Valk is âboringâ doesnât make any sense when you compare it to Trans or Sound Barrier.
Iâve played her since launch and I am telling you how I personally feel, she has become less fun with every new iteration.
Old, fun rez: Mass rez: intense hide and seek then an intense game of tag where you either have a huge hero moment or a massive failure and waste of ult
New, less fun rez: Get frozen in quicksand for 2 seconds while you pray to Jeff nobody shoots you, if you lose visual contact or get out of hugging range you waste the 1 person rez
Old, fun valkyrie: Become super saiyan and fly around with a really deadly pistol of doom, frantically shooting around to rez up to 2 or 3 people and swing the fight in your favor
New, less fun valkyrie: Press Q to escape Genji, use a multi heal or a weaker Orisa ult
Old, fun bunnyhop/momentum glitch: shoot way past your target, instantly re-GA to a new target, if you were fast/skilled enough you could always outrun/outmaneuver people attacking you
New, less fun âofficialâ bunnyhop: go about 5 extra feet past your target and immediately hit a wall of invisible quicksand slowing you down, cannot chain GAâs together anymore
So yes, Mercy has absolutely become less fun with each new, worse build of her (to me at least, itâs my opinion)
Oh I misunderstood. Your definition of âfunâ is horribly overpowered. Got it. In that case, no, you will never have fun playing Mercy again. Find another hero.
Got it. Iâll find another hero.

What does her single target healing have to do with anything versus Winstonâs aoe damage? Do you want Mercy to aoe heal all the time? I donât understand
Would you look at that. It all dropped back down already. It only lasted for 2 days. But hey, making a forum thread about it without waiting for the waters to clear was smart.
Oh wow it dropped from 56.7% to 56.12% what a tragedy.
Yeah⌠But do that in Comp and not mystery heroes and youâll get screamed at while your team is dying.
Itâs also fun to nano Torb hammer or⌠Lucio but itâs not an optimal use of the ult.
Yeah itâd be fun if you could use your whole Valk to shoot squishies but in what scenario is that better than using it to try and keep your team alive?
I was referring to pickrates. They all exploded after the patch, in every rank, for about 2 days. And now they are going back down. Btw, having a 56% winrate with a super low pickrate doesnât mean someone is viable.
Sym and Torb both had high winrates and super low winrates, and they both got reworked/buffed as a result. So if youâre trying to argue that Mercy is good because she has a high winrate to accompany her low pickrate, youâre basically saying her power level is the same as old Sym and TorbâŚ
Also, stop looking at %'s from the âthis weekâ section of Overbuff, they are inflated and skewed due to the 2 days she had an inflated pickrate/winrate after the update. If you look, they are already pretty close to where they were before this patch.
