My problem with mercy is people complaining about her so much that her movement has already been nerfed and not restored and people still want to drag her down further :c
Yooo I said that right after they nerfed her in season 3… Destroy res, destroy blue beam, but for the love of god, let me keep the mobility, the part that makes her fun to play…
There’s gotta be some kinda line in the sand, the game will never be perfectly balanced especially if they intend to release more heroes. So I really don’t care if her 1.5 sec cd on GA is too strong in high elo… ITS FUN
(Disclaimer I am not high elo, so it was never a broken ability from my perspective in the first place)
I have watched a lot of matches in those tiers, and she is not in many of them, on either team
If you are getting these figures from Overbuff - Overbuff is imo a very incomplete and innaccurate website.
If you are getting these figures elsewhere please point me to the data
That aside, pickrates are not a direct measure of meta, as the characters are not always chosen on the basis of who is strongest. Mercy is chosen more often as a highly popular character, for example, regardless of how strong she is
this is an opinion stated as if it were a fact, which it isnt.
I accept that you personally believe this to be the case, but this is a subjective valuation, not a fact, particularly when one adds the word “exponentially”
see above.
no character is mastered in a few hours
not a one
actually, many form members have stated just exactly that
Like I would be willing to talk about putting superjump on a longer cooldown while standard jump+bunnyhop gets its original cooldown, but you’re seriously here talking about completely removing superjump from a hero who doesn’t even need a nerf?
No they don’t. They complain about these heroes able to sit in the air indefinitely with a Mercy staff leached onto them making them hard to hit without hitscan and near impossible to output enough DPS to kill in the time they are vulnerable, removing their weakness.
Noone complains about Phara or Echo on their own because you can deal with them. It’s when Mercy is attached to them. Mercy’s issue is she can instantly fly to another target at mach 1 removing the weakness of flying in that you have no cover around you. If you catch Phara or Echo out in the air on their own, you can kill them before they get in cover. You catch Mercy out in the air in the open, she’s GA’d to OW3 before you gotten half her HP down.
Ashe widow echo phara cree, just to name a few that have had metas revolve around them with a pocket. And thats ignoring hanzo soldier and soj now.
But its the survivability thats the issue?
The existence of blue beam makes thr game literally impossible to balance.
