Just tried out the new changes for mercy and moira, and it’s just shocking how bad they feel to play. You really need to stop messing with GA, if you have no clue what you’re doing
And moira got the sym style, “meaty adjustments” (read: nerf) lol. Rip all these heroes and doom.
Whichever intern is in charge of these changes you need to let go of. The level of incompetence and uninspired design decisions boggles the mind. Time to retire some devs i’d imagine.
No comment on Mercy but new Moira is excellent
Yes, someone in the devs hate role support very hard and especially Mercy, it’s not normal that they treated she like this in this beta.
It is insane to me that they haven’t seen any of the threads on here, or reddit, or twitter, or youtube, explicitly and specifically asking them not to change SJ. It feels willful at this point. Like they’re actively ignoring feedback.
Rein earthshatter, followed by 21 damage hammer swings…
30 damage Genji blade swipes…
Shoot it at a Grav surge and cut the firepower on all targets by 4x…
I feel like they have kinda tuned out Mercy feedback that amounts to “I demand a Revert”.
Is it really that difficult to do “Okay, if you’re going in this direction, here’s how you would implement it properly”?
Been telling you guys for ages that the balance team are terrible at their jobs and shouldn’t be trusted.
Baffling that we actually have players who think they do a good job.
we all know why certain players think this though, definitely nothing to do with them playing all the dev favourite meta heroes to cheese sr!
Curious how good your aim is to hit a dashing Genji with a small projectile if he gets the jump on you.
It’s a 6m wide explosion, the entire objective is 20m wide
The explosion on Moira’s Enfeeble is 3m. It’s tiny as heck. I don’t see many people landing it on a Genji that gets the jump on people and slashes right through you and lands even one hit on you. Or if they wait until a Moira uses it, bait it, etc.
A 3m radius explosion is 6m wide
The explosion radius is so tiny that if it’s not hitting the exact red outline it will go pass the enemy. Go try it in the training range and don’t line it up (since targets don’t stand still), throw it, and watch how easily it goes past the targets red outline. I went into the range and played with the 20-30-40 range and even having her reticle slightly off made it zoom past as if it had to perfectly hit them, unless you plan on purposely shooting the floor each time with it.
The superjump mechanic feels awful, and is a net nerf in every single way… Now you give away your movement by looking at it 100% of the time, you don’t move as reliably, or as far… Also, the cooldowns for Moira are too long.
I guess I just don’t see why they don’t leave the characters as they are and implement new heroes with the ideas that they have in mind. That makes more sense to me than radically reworking characters who are popular… The support role really needs fleshed out anyway… Please stop changing the things that people actually like about these characters.
Honestly I could be wrong but I feel the biggest complaint about mercy is the super jump, which I feel was an accident and wasnt originally meant to be in the game, just like rein being able to leap forward out of a charge. which he ALSO can no longer do sadly. I dont see it coming back as I don’t see them knowing how to put the glitch back with the new engine.
Hey, don’t blame the intern, they’re not even getting payed!
I think my favorite part is watching people switch off Moira after about 2 minutes because it’s so terrible.
She feels awful to play now and it’s so clunky. This was a huge miss and makes you really wonder what they are doing over there.
The thing about superjump is that it was initially a bug, yes. The developers said that it was a bug that was super consistent that had no negative implications for the character and didn’t break anything else so they programmed the bug into being a feature because players were doing cool things with it.
Sadly, they are trying to change it so that it is easier for people to use as, “an official part of Mercy’s kit.” They literally could have kept the change from before and added a toggle to allow for manual input and the automatic input for those who need it for accessibility issues.
Make it so she automatically superjumps at the end of GA if she GAs while crouched
Leave her current Spacebar slingshot alone
And then go work on the rest of her kit
I don’t really know what yall expected for Mercy.
She was fine as is before the GA shenanigans, but yall were insisting on aCcEsSiBiLiTy and now it’s a mess.
Superjump has never been that hard to do.
true, and perhaps they will. it is still beta after all.
