Maybe Mercy's Superbounce Is The Issue

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 :smiley:

(Disclaimer I am not high elo, so it was never a broken ability from my perspective in the first place)

I’m sorry too. But you’re absolutely wrong XD
Like there’s no point even explaining how you’re wrong if you really can’t see it XD

Just gonna… Drop one of ana’s bio nades right here o.o
Along with… One of these lil discord orbs…
Oh and a lamp and a suzu.

She is not dps, her kit helps her to be triage healer . Please dont compare ga and echo/phara flying ability

I feel like most people calling for nerfs havnt lived through moth meta, or mass rez.

Mercy is consider the weakest support, besides blue beam pushing a few heroes over a threshold, she is kinda lack luster.

Shes easy to use but by no means broken or overpowered.

I’m just gonna drop her rez and damage boost right here…

Besides Mercy mains, by who?

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

It actually isnt incorrect at all

I see her in maybe 3-4 of ten matches, at most

that said, a player’s choice of character isnt always/solely made because of perceived power level.

I lived through both.

By who? Outside of top 500 she’s got one of the better pick and win rates among supports in almost every rank.

Im not a mercy main, im a support main, i just cant change my forum icon.

She is middle of the pact for win rates, she, she isnt a must pick or a throw pick, she is just average.

There are other heroes who are more broken or need fixes way before mercy does.

Hey, same!

No pharah mercy can be good its just not a free switch like it is in low ranks if yiu have a pharah and mercy main the will run the game

lol the takes on these forums.

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?

She’s top 3 in every rank except silver and GM. Even then she’s dead average at those ranks.

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.

Is this a joke?

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.

Sounds like we’re in perfect agreement then.

Can we please just try this out. Superjump on like a 3-4 second cooldown and tweak it from there.

Like I just want a revert to OW1 movement but that’s not gonna happen.

…would make it always up with GA or actually give her more mobility since she could GA then superbounce while GA is on CD.

They already did that, gave mercy hps life leach, if they want to remove more, than compensate her more.
