i think they should revert it back to 1.5 because muscle memory and it was fun moving like that. ofc u would have to be smart abt movement but mercy has been nerfed sm her movement was her only good thing that no one spoke abt
must not of seen forums past 3 weeks or so?
ppl been QQing about it a lot.
OW2 “improved” her GA over its OW1 iteration.
i’d ratehr give up ow2’s currently awful version entirely for OW1’s version again.
screw the jump it isnt worth it with the cd increase & speed decrease.

OW 2 just opened up her kit for people who couldn’t do the tech. I would gladly take the OW1 version of mercy

Tried out Mercy too, was under the impression the nerfs were compensated by the buffs they gave her. Nah she feels really bad to play now.

Nah false flagging is a myth, there are no squads or discord groups coming here and flagging specific posts for … reasons.
/s
My Estimation is that some people dont Respond well to Contrarian opinions like Yours so they just do that.
You got lucky, other threads like mine about Eskay and Seagull got literally deleted. Enjoy while you can!
Respect to you Octo for admitting that you feel differently now! +1

Me too ^^^^
its not.
during last anti mercy crusade I had a post flagged that was ltierally nothign but correcting a person on a stats they said about mercy compared to someone else.
wasnt even taking a side on it just correcting somethign and got flagged and temp forum suspension. (which i ofc got support to remove as it was agreed wwas not anything wrong)
false flagging is a thing. it has been for yrs.
Ppl just petty & toxic if you don’t agree with em. (on both sides)
120 likes? Oh wow
All I did was complain about mercy’s changes xD
Mate I cant make sarcasm more obvious. Literally on the post the sentence says “for … reasons” and ends with a /s. What do you think its that? 
What the heck does she do instead? In my experience, Mercy can get POTG, though I haven’t yet, by rezing an ally and shooting an enemy with her pistol. POTG highlights are about 23 seconds though.
Because they are lazy and don’t play their own game, my dear.
In order to fix damage boost, they also need to buff all dps roster accordingly, because they’ve considered dps pairings with mercy. This is hella work for these lazy turds. I believe they will set GA cooldown back to 2s from 2.5, I believe this was the exact value for GA in ow1 and they made it 1.5 for ow1, not sure.
Cassidy right click. JQ shout. Orisa shield. Sigma shield. Hammond infinite grapple. Roadhog Hook. Mercy damage boost. Infinite invis. Torb turret.
There are things in Overwatch called synergies and unintended consequences.
This means that in isolation and on paper things might not be strong, but in the grand scheme of things their impact is far higher due to the complex nature of the game.

mf playing OW1 
yeah, except like 80% of what you mentioned isn’t even that strong, not in isolation, neither in the grand scheme
assuming 1 of these is meant to be OW2?
you mean DB which existed in same form for (in may) LITERALLY 6 yrs w/o being issue and wasnt an issue until Ashe and now Soj?
also did you call Torb’s turret problematic? its easy to destroy…its like a mosquito annoying at best.
That’s quite a long story. Initially DB wasn’t even used much, as heals and resurrects were most common ways of getting value.
DB became a problem, only once it remained literally only way for Mercy to get game-winning value, in combination with busted DPS. Which happened, after her heals were weakened and resurrects were heavily restricted.
I was also wrong about the GA changes, thought maybe 2.5 seconds wouldn’t be that bad. Can easily say, its the single worst change to happen not just to mercy, but to any single hero in the entire history of OW. She just feels AWFUL to play as, I don’t even care if she’s meta or not currently, she just feels BAD now.
I gave it a fair shake. I really wanted to like the changes, if you go back and look at my posts, you will see I was skeptical the change to GA would destroy her, but by the powers to be she is ruined.
this is entirely why.
nothing to do with mercy’s value.
dev’s have had a kink for high burst/psuedo snipers on dps ever since ashe. (even echo when had the tiny op time was due to her inflated #'s)
again look at the heroes who scaled off db…its very few (i.e. 2 ashe and soj. heck pharah’s not even issue wiht db is with that combo its the healing)
Mercy got value (even after rework) by healing.
Mercy’s literally been the healer if you want reliable healing.
Just one thing - busted DPS existed before, but DB being an issue is somewhat recent development, due to DB becoming primary means of getting value for Mercy.
And she is not anymore, which pushes DB to the front as main source of value.
DB could be abused way back, but it wasn’t really necessary, when resurrects and heals allowed similar, if not better, value, without subjecting yourself to pocket playstyle and without extra condition of having competent and busted DPS on your team.
Though in my experience, her value in healing was quickly becoming insufficient even before rework. I literally had to spam that ult like crazy to keep up with how fast my teammates were getting vaporized by damage.
yes, but not due to DB.
it was due to ults benefitting (which they fixed ages ago and shouldnt of had it to begin with), it was mcsniper (due to extreme overbuffing em), and similar.
DB’s “issue” is entirely isolated to a few specific heroes due to their actual design.
she was fine in 60/hps mercy 1.0 for healing.
only support who did more was ana, who had trouble due to barriers (and how cramped most maps back then were)
but after ana next highest healing was Zen’s 30/hps then lucio’s.
only way you werent healing enough with mercy is if ur target for some dumb reason was trying to tank way too much alone.
