Mercy highest win rate all tiers!?

Because you take Mercy out and all that happens is that another support takes her place.

July’s ‘22 Midseason Madness OWL-Zenyatta took Mercy’s spot as Pharah’s support to the point where the casters were shocked when Mercy WAS picked.

Heck Brig replaced Mercy in Dive with her ability to peel and just the range and consistency of her armor packs-this included Pharah.

So sure, take Mercy out of the equation. It’s already been proven that Pharah can work just fine with other supports.

But those supports are much stronger than Mercy.

no she just genuinely needs an air uptime rework. the only reason why she’s so difficult to use is because without a pocket, she HAS to play behind cover 24/7 no matter what. what she needs is to have 100 health and 100 recoverable shields, and nerf/rework the bell out of her hover jets. pharmercy is so annoying beCAUSE of the fact that since pharah has 90% uptime in the air, that makes mercy able to have it too, making the duo just freely fly.

nerf mercy and zenyatta will replace her, then a different support. it’s a pharah problem.

Bap has to reload, lifeweaver has a charge up, ana has to reload, brig has to do damage to maintain it, kiriko has a reload, moira has a resource meter…

Mercy, zen and lucio are the only ones who can fully heal without reloading. But obviously the trade is zen and lucio heal less but can shoot, mercy is just healing.

Yep like I said…

No point. You have a good day.

Basically, yeah.

Pharah is a hero that, due to having like 80%+ air time, breaks the moment you add sustain on her. Mercy is just the easiest version of it, but Pharayatta is way stronger, it just requires Zen to be more self sufficient.

I think people have also even said Pharah and Ana can work well-you just need a good Ana that know a to check the skybox.

Not as common as Zen or Brig replacing Mercy but it has been used.

AEEHHHH WRONG!! there’s more heroes actually

omly some of this is right!! brig cannot reload at ALL. kiriko only has a reload on her kunais, not her ofuda. and moira cannot reload at all. these heroes (besides kiri) trade high amounts of healing for a resource meter or cooldown system. this is the cause of healing creep.

by your logic, mercy has a reload too! she has to reload her gun, so she has a reload!

mercy’s the easiest because that’s literally her role lol, she’s been nerfed so hard to the point her only value is to pocket her dps. people really expect that nerfing mercy just automatically gets rid of pharah duoing with any other strong support lmao

All the heroes you mentioned have much higher numbers, AoE healing, much higher range (thus safety) or actual teamfight impact.

All Mercy has is mediocre healing, a suicidal rez, a dmg boost that adds 40~ DPS to most DPS heroes at best, and a mediocre ultimate that might as well not exist.

I know you are on your little mental breakdown over discovering that personal performance alone wont carry you to GM1, but really this is getting kinda pathetic, dont you think?

It’s sad that they think that when realistically PharahMercy is probably the least “annoying”.

With PharahMercy you know the Mercy is 100% on Pharah.

PharahZen or PharahBrig…you have to deal with Pharah in the air but you also have Zen or Brig on the ground still supporting the rest the team too.

I dont think they care. Mercy has just become the acceptable scapegoat for every salty loser’s spilled milk in Overwatch, just like what happens with other heroes like Symmetra, Brig and Mei.

Thats why they get nerfed all the time, thats why they got nerf-reworked and thats why people would rather blame them that to accept that some popular heroes are poorly designed, or that [gasp] they made a mistake.

I mean OWL pretty much gave the okay to mock Mercy players.

At literally no point did I say brig has to reload… I mean… did you even read what you’re quoting?

Her ofuda still only has so many she can release. She releases like 4 I believe and there’s a “reload” a.k.a a cooldown period.

Again you LITERALLY didnt read whatI said LMFAO

Why are you so down on mercy?!

She’s the best support right now.

I’ve read your posts. It seems your gripe with mercy is playing the peel support instead of the offensive orientated support.

This doesn’t make her not the best hero.

Let’s not muddy mercy’s outlook… rather embrace her as meta.

You can play whatever “flex support” you would like with mercy…. They will need protection.

But mercy doesn’t have the same downside as other peel supports… she has offensive utility through dmg boost.

Statistics don’t lie especially on passive hero’s. She’s very good right now. Enjoy the hero. Let the haters hate.

Why are you people so obsessed with blaming Mercy for every 2v1 you lose?

That’s Ana and Kiriko and in some ranks Bap or Moira.

She’s 3rd or 4th.

Hardly the best-strong but not the best.

you literally said eveyr support hero has to reload and then proceeded to say brig, moira, kiriko had to reload. that probably wasn’t what you intended but you worded it awfully. (sorry for sounding harsh, i’m being truthful)

uhhh yeah i think it’s 4? maybe 6, i don’t play her so idk. but i don’t see the recovery period as a reload. it’s recovery for a reason, not a based reload system. plus i’m pretty sure the base reload is 1.5s or higher, her recovery time is 1 second which feels so clunky

77

I don’t know. But fights are 5v5 not 2v1.

There’s a
Tank,
Main dps, flex dps
Main support(peel), and flex support.

In that world mercy has the best stats of all the meta heros.

She had persisted though every meta since mid season 2 while other hero’s have gotten nerfs she has only gotten “power redistribution”

She was eventually going to rise to the top.

It’s looking like she will be even better after the zen nerf.

Reverse power creep is a real thing. Statistics are starting to show that

Stop presenting your insignificant experiences as fact or proof of anything other than your own lack of critical thinking.

You have zero proof of anything you have said, or its literally, factually wrong.

Ok I’m convinced it’s AKJ but instead of insulting everyone they’re using “weasel words” to push their narrative.

There are positions in overwatch just like sports it’s one of the fascinating things about it.

But there are also hero’s that require different amount of resources from their team.

For example tracer is a flex or off dps. She doesn’t require much healing or resources… allowing something like an “Ashe”( a main support) to take a mercy for example as a pocket.

A mercy on play means your other support will have peeling… vs like a Moira or something…

So you can play an Ana and use nade and sleep offensively since you can count on a mercy for protection.

When you have an Ana you can run a tank with synergy… like Winston. And Winston can play agro since he knows the main support can peel the Ana.

This team comp for example is Winston, tracer, Ashe, mercy, Ana.

Mercy being the backbone who doesn’t get the glory but allows the Ashe and Ana to have peeling… which in turns allows the Winston to play agro
