Mercy being the worst support is not a bad thing,you would always have a support that is slightly worse then the rest. that is the point of having a changing meta in a competitive game,the fact that most Mercy mains won’t dare to learn a different hero is not the community’s problem,now sit in the corner and and let the other supports shine,you had your Mercy is super OP and meta fun for over a year now.
I don’t WANT her OP. 30 Second Res WAS OP and I was against it from the very beginning of her rework. I don’t WANT her to be Meta, I just want her to be playable.
How about after we have fixed the other heroes first like Torbjorn, Bastion and Hanzo?
Let Mercy rest for once.
So you will spam on the forums until a developer comment about Mercy?
“My hero is not the best anymore, buff her, minions.”
I mean yes res is a terrible idea, I think it shouldn’t be an ultimate though. honestly you can balance her without her having resurrection available but blizzard has it so ingrained into their heads that she needs to have res when she just needs to be mobile enough
Res is the only thing that makes her viable at all. Its the entire reason she’s been so Meta defining is because of that ONE ability that they broke, and they’ve been consistently nerfing the heck out of her just to try and balance it out until where she’s at now where she’s basically unplayable. MORE THAN EVER she is just a Res on a stick. I know you people are all sick and tired of her, but this is NOT a healthy balance for a character!
Please no, rez as an ult was so unhealthy for the game.
The anti-Mercy slogan.
Well she’s not greyed out on the hero select screen is she? You can still pick her and play her.
yeah she was meta defining during the double sniper meta BECAUSE of Res, if you get rid of the ability which is a problem for her, then maybe you can work on making her better in other ways and more fun ways
“My favorite character should be the #1 character of all, and I’ll scream and stomp my feet and get my fellow angry children to scream and stomp their feet until we get what we want! Give us an easy-pass to top 500 or else!”
i mean, that’s what they did with hanzo right?
inb4 “Hello. this is Jeff from the Overwatch team. The rework was a success and we are very satisfied with how it turned out. Now, another change we want to talk about is that Mercy will be deleted because we hate her. Bye”
Give it a month or two. A lot of people think the pickrate or winrate will rebound. I think her winrate is depressed right now because people are playing Mercy into situations she isn’t good at.
as every mercy player has said on dps threads asking for buffs, mercy is fine, she just isn’t meta anymore. she has been meta since her rework, let someone else be good now
Also, if Mercy is excessively bad, the fix is both easy and obvious - 55 hp/s. Not a big, risky rework that could break the game again.
not to mention that “meta” doesn’t stop you from playing that hero, just makes your teammates have to work around having a mercy rather than the support they’re used to. WHICH SHOULD BE NORMAL
I’m surprised Hanzo can’t heal after all that tbh. I think they were very moderate in not giving him self-heals and teleportation, and opting only to give him the ability to insta-kill at any range.
well he technically already had that, it’s just more reliable now that it’s basically hitscan.
also he technically shoots the smallest projectile in the game… i wonder why he’s so powerful then
Its a shame. The Devs break Mercy and make her Op and her mains get blamed. They beg and plead for a revert or rework, or fix and they are ingored. Now with no feedback thread they’re left posting on the main forums, and are called whiney and spammers… Huh. What a Toxic community and a terrible balance team. Smh.
