Mercy skin tease, and some attention being paid to the Support ‘class’ (hopefully Tank later), this feels too good to be true

THANK GOD supports are CONFIRMED to get REBALANCED!!

Can’t wait to see more actual competition for Ana being meta for long. Can’t wait to see if Baptiste / Mercy get more healing to be considered actual viable alternatives to Ana

Hopefully this is actually good news. Knowing Blizzard, it could also mean a complete and total butchery of these heroes. Remains to be seen I guess, but I’m definitely interested. Not excited, but interested.

I’m very interested in what type of skin mercy is going to get since he mentioned light and dark :thinking: tbh i really hope it’s a dark bad a** cool looking skin.

Because i want some diversity and not that she always needs to look pretty and cute all the time.

I’m hopeful we see some buffs to Bap/Zen/Mercy. I don’t know why he wouldn’t explicitly mention Mercy though seeing as people would love to hear the news.

I also hope they don’t do my girl Ana too badly :cry:

If it’s anything like the previous ““experiments””…

Moira: Biotic Orb cooldown increased to 11 seconds.
Biotic Grasp Secondary Fire damage per second increased to 52.

We’ll see, though it wouldn’t shock me if supports got across-the-board healing nerfs with big buffs to their offenses. Basically, make everybody an off-healer… which I definitely wouldn’t be a fan of.

Really, what I’d like to see Overwatch do is make Supports more like those in Valorant, where they have really powerful healing but just can’t access it as frequently, and then they have fairly good offensive and utility on top of that. That, I think, would solve a lot of frustrations from the Support community about supporting being unfun and a chore, and from the DPS community about things “not dying” since it creates broader windows for exploitation.

Mercy skin and Moira changes…not planning on not adding more dps…

He just wanted to push all the forums buttons huh?

hopefully they nerf ana.

He didn’t say this, he actually said never adding a DPS until we have an even number is a huge mistake.

Which… I kinda agree with. Tank and Supports don’t ever need to reach full roster parity, but I do think that Jeff isn’t really recognizing that the current disparity is just comically awful. Ideally, IMO, we’d have about 2/3 as many Supports and Tanks as DPS each (i.e. with 17 DPS, that’s 11-12 Tanks and 11-12 Supports)
