Mercy’s round of nerfs ended up putting her healing into borderline off-healer territory. BUT with these new buffs, she feels just about right for a main healer again (she’s clearly above Brigitte, Lucio and Zen again).
I can easily get THREE ults in four minutes and the healing actually feels impactful again. Good job Blizz, Mercy doesn’t feel undertuned anymore, she feels… balanced.
I don’t wanna see any “Revert Mercy” people here. I think Mercy is in her healthiest spot since Mercy 2.0 came out. Respect Mercy for what she is now, people change and that’s ok.
EDIT: I shouldn’t need to add this but Mercy mains are some of the most judgmental players in the game.
Yes, I play on console. I’m a Diamond player. No, that doesn’t invalidate my opinion.
On PS4 in Diamond, she has a 5.56% pickrate and 51.41% winrate (4th most picked Support overall)
On PC in Diamond, she has a 2.46% pickrate and 51.58% winrate (6th most picked Support overall)
… her winrate is higher on PC and she’s in the bottom three pickrate Supports on both platforms. So yes, she’s in a similar spot on both platforms.
I’m still patching–does she feel somewhat useful again?
It’s been really frustrating since her last nerf trying to play her. I like being helpful to the team. That’s why I play support, you know? Without her heals I just felt like I was being carried rather than having any actual impact no matter how hard I played.
Ok for real now. Buffing valk isnt anything amazing at all we already had that version before the hp/s nerf and know it isnt exciting at all. So in conclusion she still needs another rework/revert of some form.
Eh, from many hours on PTR and the amount of live I’ve played so far, Mercy is still a pretty horrid healer from a teammate’s perceptive and you can still just ignore her as an opponent.
I personally wouldn’t want her on my team as anything other than a pure pocket and even that’s a bit iffy.
technically nothing Moira does is burst, it’s just high enough HPS that it feels like burst. Among supports there’s exactly three actual burst heals. Nano, Bio Nade, and Armor Pack.
You do know that this is the same Mercy as the one we had before her healing nerf, only with weaker base healing and that you need 1~s more to charge Val?
So why were you complaining when she lost those 10hps ?
You say she has no burst healing, but she never had, this is her way to heal…
you say she cannot protects her mates, but she never had this possibility, this how she is.
Bumping her healing in valk back to 60HPS does not address the issues that other players have with her kit/impact. They have already had valk at 60HPS and this will not be any different from before.
I’m hoping for Bliz to go back and either heavily tweak valk or rework Mercy again once more important issues are addressed.
I’m happy that you are enjoying your experience with Mercy though.
