Allright people. Its me local drunk Silverhawk.
Lets be honest here. Most Mercy haters didn’t want it this bad. Neither did the supporters obviously.
Blizz went way too far with these. They nerfed way too many parts of her kit and/or the wrong parts of the kit. The movement was fun and fluid.
This just encourages pocketing even more.
Considering Sojourn went untouched, it’s obvious they just want Mercy attached to her 24/7. Forum will be unreadable for next few weeks with rage about these changes.
They missed the point SO hard it’s not even funny,this just makes Mercy clunky to play while not addressing people’s problem with her,damage boost.That Sojourn is gonna 1 tap you just the same.
You just wanted to have a drink didn’t you?
I agree, they didn’t touch what matters the most. Now I understand why Mercy mains are so defensive when anyone mentions Mercy on forums, it’s probably out of fear that blizzard will just gut her with their balancing skills.
With this, what they have achieved is a massive exodus of players, especially supports.
I don’t even know wtf they were thinking these changes fix 0 problems and just make her feel clunkier
I’m really hoping the logical, objective haters will look at this and go:
“Nice, Mercy nerfs!”
“…”
“Wait…”
“Wh-What”
“No! NOT THIS MUCH JESUS”
well time to bring up the old wound
Let’s be fair : they did. There’s nothing about Mercy that didn’t get a “IT’S OP PLEASE REMOVE IT FROM THE GAME” post these last few weeks. You guys wanted her to be unplayable, be happy now.
But also : it’s not the forum’s problem. If Blizzard’s nerfs were linked to what the community is saying, Sojourn’s railgun would have seen its damage reduced months ago. I hope, I really hope there are real data behind this choice and it’s not just a “let’s kill Mercy to save Sojourn”.
And, as far as we know, the support played by over 1300 of the top 1500 players is not getting a major nerf. THAT’s the problem. If EVERY support was getting a huge nerf, sure, but no.
Maybe they had the same idea as SilverHawk: drink whenever they see a mercy post on forum. When they had enough drinks they decided to finally start the balancing.
These changes look fake to me, quite honestly
They were confirmed by atleast 2 content creators who had early access to season 3,they’re real.
I know you don’t wanna hear this, but most CC’s are posting videos with early access info. Skiesti, Karq, Niandra…
They basically did everything I hate. Nerf mobility, buffed healing. This dev team is hopeless.
I am glad I have to spend less time healing tanks,but yeah mobility nerf is brutal.

Here is a video showcasing the nerf and changes in action.
The regen passive seems good though, it’s basically an infinite self-regen as long as she’s not alone.
Are these confirmed?
Ana: Biotic Grenade reduced from 4 to 3.5 seconds.
Brigitte: - Repair Pack healing decreased from 110 to 100 (50hps).
Lucio: Ult cost reduced by 7%
Mercy: y’all saw that one
Moira: Ult cost reduced by 5%
Zen: Ammo increased from 20 to 25.
These were just posted to me in Discord so I can’t confirm
Confirmed. Lots of content creators with early access posting the same changes.
