Mercy Healing Through Walls

General Discussion

I like that people are upset that Mercy can heal a second after breaking LoS, meanwhile I do this with Ana. xD

mercy beams had always gone through walls for about a second or so after someone went through a wall if the beam was already on them.

If I had a dollar anytime someone comes on the forum with “Mercy is horrible” “Mercy is breaking the game” “Mercy is OP” “Delete Mercy”… I’d make Bill Gates look poor at this point.

All these posts about how horrible Mercy is? It has to be a joke right? She’s pretty much the easiest support to kill, despite her flying around a lot. She has pretty much nothing for self defense and rarely get kills. As a Mercy main, you just need to shoot her. Try and get her away from her team mate and shoot her.

It’s not rocket science, but you know what. Let’s delete all heroes from the game, let’s remove everyone except Soldier 76. Then Overwatch will be like any other shooter game out there, is that what you want? Will that make you happy?

Maybe you should go back to Team Fortress 2.

In a world that includes…

animals with superhman intelligence
people who can turn into smoke
healing wounds with music
antigravity devices in common use
force fields
energy weapons

…I think that healing through a wall is entirely reasonable - just another part of the suspension of disbelief that is inherent to any scifi or fantasy genre

change Mercy ult, to A-10 Warthog airstrike

Considering that it has been a part of the game since the beta of ow1 then yes it is normal for Overwatch.

Remember that overwatch is a game where two characters have literal aim bots as an ult (both are considered some of the worst in the game btw) and the snipers have wall hacks, another character that can heal through map geometry for a very short time after breaking los doesn’t seem that crazy.

Ah I thought it was 3. I’ll fix that!

The game was designed with 2 tanks

Actually it was designed with anywhere from 0 to 6 tanks

I miss the times you’d get into a game and had zero clue what you could face - like you could end up with games starting with one team of three DVAs two Anas and a Tracer vs a team of five Reins and a Lucio. :joy:

Or 0 - 6 heal

That’s irrelevant

Mercy wasn’t balanced verse 1

I’ve been playing since 2017 and never once got triggered by Mercy’s existence that I’d feel the urge to call for her deletion. And this was back when she had mass rez. Mercy can be annoying on the enemy team sometimes, but that’s about it. Way more serious things to complain about in this game than Mercy
