Right now with this current Ashe patch, Mercy feels MUCH better to play than before and thats good. I know i’m gonna get some people here that are skeptic.Mercy feels “Okay” but not “Meh” anymore which is great, now if she could just feel “Great” WITHOUT BEING OVER POWERED, that would be awesome!
As much as i like youtubers that talk about Mercy, i can’t help but feel bad for the team that has to work on Mercy’s balancing.
My theory is that Blizzard didn’t know how powerful mercy should be without nerfing her and seeing the real world outcome. Whether you like it or not the overwatch team know what they are doing. The Overwatch team is much bigger than before so we have to offer them our patience.They aren’t trying to make mercy useless but useful AT FIRST. The key word being at first, and THEN they will try to buff her just like they did on this live Ashe update. My theory that blizzard is doing that in order for a hero to be balanced you need for them to be balanced first then they will try to see what they can “add” to her for her to be fun BUT still balanced.
I suppose you can think of it like having a solid base to a structure and then you put the walls and such with fancy decor after that the base is solid.
