Mercy changes were unjust

‘sexist hate’

they’re both women so this isn’t sexist but okay

Makes me glad I learned Echo

considering how many people were calling for mercy nerfs and explicitly saying they wanted to see her mains cry, i don’t think it’s just about the hero themselves but who people assume plays them too

She’s a flying champ shes supposed to be difficult to hit without hitscan

I’m an advocate for changes but honestly they should change the cutoff to 60% health instead of 50% for the increased healing. Healing someone from 1 hp is not a common occurrence and that’s not a good comparison. They should be comparing to a more common starting health number like 20 or 25 for judging the healing adjustments, not 1 health.

They missed the mark with the changes overall though either way

Obviously you didn’t read the notes, ONLY pocketing.

Blizzard opting to cave in to its favorite toxic crowd. I just uninstalled the game, I’m going to get my fps fix some place else.

One way or another we’ll stop those pockets lol. The mobility nerf kinda dumb tbh but i dont mind the healing nerfs. It’s just somehow gotta make her more team based. Idk if she needs a rework or some sort of passive change…

Are you kidding me! Mercy is the most team reliant support in the game

Blizzard just can’t win when it comes to Mercy, they nerf her even slightly and people go bonkers, they buff her slightly and people go bonkers.

Therefore, I think it would be best if she was just removed from the game.

Win win :grin:

How does one even invoke the term “unjust” when talking about changing the way someone flies in a video game?

God we live in exaggerationland

She used to have a style called “pinball”, where you didn’t pocket at all, and constantly moved between team members who need topups.

But it required good healing for topups (which has been nerfed) and good mobility (which has been nerfed).

So, it is REALLY going to be 100% pocket now.

She was never meant to be able to zip around in so many directions so quickly. Have you people just overlooked how many buffs to her mobility she received over the years? Sure, the 2.5 sec nerf to GA is a little much but let’s not pretend Mercy’s mobility was perfectly fine every time the devs creeped it up. Demand hitscan nerfs then if you want but it should be possible for most of the roster to kill bad Mercys, not just hitscan heroes. That’s a Mercy skill issue.

No, they were not, well deserved and needed.

Deal with it.

Yes, let’s make it fade, but without invulnerability and with less range. Because that’s what Mercy needs. Literally fade, but worst.

This is a very very sad day for Mercy players

Those who wish to claim that the changes represent a net buff are of course free to do so

Mercy has more or less been gutted

a sad sad day, indeed

even sadder is that many forum members will still be calling for even more nerfs because today’s nerfs did not impact her damage boost or rez

Sooner or later my eyes are going to get stuck, because of the amount of eye rolling I’m doing from reading some of these comments.

Mercy players are so very special.

It isn’t going to stay like this. You know it.

Which that style is one I definitely prefer over pocketing. I play her that way regardless still, heres to hoping they make mercy great again someday.
