Is it ok to play Mercy?

Ana - 10.02%
Moria - 7.28%
Mercy - 5.08%

These are the main healers, of which Mercy is the least picked. Their post was correct, idk why you felt the need to pull stats. But if you wanna do that, here’s some more detailed pickrates.

Their pickrates really start to seem problematic at Diamond, and they only get worse from there. In Diamond, Ana has more than double Moira’s pickrate, and nearly quadruple Mercy’s pickrate. Moving up the ladder, this trend worsens until we reach GM, where Ana has more than 9 times Mercy’s pickrate and more than 15 times Moira’s pickrate.

It doesn’t take a mathematician to realize that there’s a problem here. Either Ana is insanely overpowered, or Mercy and Moira are terribly underpowered. A hero doesn’t hold a pickrate greater than 9 times the pickrate of their counterparts in GM unless either they are too powerful, or those counterparts are too weak.
