Mercy + Ashe = Death (?)

Accidentally? It’s simple mathematical equation and you think Blizzard did not calculate that one?

I mean look at those roadhog buffs, those were not accidental as well, right? What is the result? Streams of whiners plagued the forums for a week until experimental is out.

→ Intention != Result

My point is Geoff isn’t going to nerf Mercy’s damage boost that has been the same for 4 years and not a problem just bc she’s working too well with the hero he INTENTIONALLY added to work well with her. Ashe Mercy has been able to one shot for over a year but it’s just now a problem? Maybe because Ashe got like 7 consecutive buffs to her gun this year + we are in a shield-less Hog meta that will end as soon as Experimental goes live.

You realize Ashe was meta in OWL the past 2 months without Mercy…right? She’s a better version of other the hitscan even without a pocket.

Geoff also said this about damage boost to me a while ago:

@GeoffGoodman

I’d also love to be able to increase the power of her damage boosting, but it causes a lot of issues with various breakpoints where suddenly X hero can one-shot 200 health heroes etc. There are other ways to make it feel better without just adding raw damage though, we’ll see.

Sounds to me like they’d buff it if anything. Nerfs seem kinda of out of the question when he literally said this.
