You think high rank Mercy players aren’t complaining about these changes?

Her new style fo ehaling to me (5 games so far) is that she heals less voerall, but when she has to heal she ehals better (keeping someone from dying in a tight duel)
Cue the top emrcy players saying the changes are giga poop

She’s better at beam juggling, which is what a lot of mercys do anyway.
The GA changes are garbage tho and need to be reverted.

There’s no point. They all watched that Skiesti video about changes which was nothing but 10minutes of whining about literally every change. So instead of trying the changes themselves they all decided to just flood the forums with complain threads.

The real issue is the GA changes. They completely desync her kit and feel awful. Everything else is actually completely fine.

I only see complaints about GA for the most part…?

if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
That’s something Blizzard never understood. Mercy was a consistent and the best balanced hero since 2016 but they believe they have to reinvent the wheel again and they made her garbage and unfun.
Blizzard incompetence strikes again.

+1 , The devs have succeeded, they have killed Mercy, for listening to the wrong people, now if these changes are not reversed, the damage will be irreparable, time will tell, but the clock is ticking.

Her healing, outside of Valkyrie, is trash though. If they’re not below half health, she might as well be sneezing on them, and if the are low health you have to hope that they use their own defence tool or a wall to start helping that burst of healing mean a damn, otherwise she has the same problems she’s always had, only worse as she’s almost entirely redundant otherwise.
Mercy’s problems lied with the fact that her pocketing was too strong, and yet they’ve nerfed everything, adjusted her self sustain (this is a buff and a nerf, depending on the scenario), and haven’t actually touched Damage Boost. So, with her current kit, she’s better at being a pocket than she was last patch.
They should’ve just nerfed Damage Boost and made GA’s movements slower. Instead, they’ve gone and gutted her without actually addressing her actual problem.

It really is stunning how Blizzard just manage to ruin everything they touch since they merged with Activision.

I played her, her movement is so slow the other changes are good but holy cow they screwed her survivability

When did the changes go into effect? Last I played Mercy was around 2 this morning. I’m going to keep playing her regardless.
Roughly 4 hours ago.
Yes, and she has 0 survivability now. Literally to not end up dying, she has to stay in the backline. Besides completely eliminating the fun that was mercy (particularly OW2 Season 2) she completely lost all kinds of synergy.

no.
damage amp is fine.
Just change the actual mechanic (not its effect) to not allow boosting 70+ dmg heroes which are the only issue amps ever had.
high dmg per shot heroes shouldn’t be efefcted by amp. they dont need it.
lower damage per shot heroes who will miss some shots (i.e. s76, sombra, etc) don’t have issues with amp.
Only heroes who have ever had the problem are all 70+ dmg heroes. (as with crits they are pseudo snipers)
disable amp from them and u can set their dmg at what u want w/o risking amp making em busted like we have now.
Having played for a day…Mercy players don’t get away with what they used to, and killing lesser players who skated on the GA/SJ/Regen/Z axis advantage are much easier to kill, however those who apply the lessons of cover, using GA to attend to heals, and maximize them are really having a big impact on games.
Also, I’m seeing a lot more Brigitte, however since they are often the morons who couldn’t work Mercy without the GA/SJ/Regen/Z-axis advantage, they are often barrelling forward blindly and not making use of the fairly dramatic upgrade to FRP, requiring me to try them out myself…Brig is much better today than yesterday.
Also a lot of people who thought they were good because Mercy…aren’t…at all.
Also, the behavior displayed by Mercy mains this week surrounding flagging Mercy threads…makes me far less sympathetic to their concerns than before.

Haha…haha…haha…
As someone who heals for about 1/3 of her “nerfed” above half health value…the fact that it takes a quarter second longer for you to top someone off whose life isn’t in danger doesn’t make me want to light a candle at church on your behalf when you got a big boost… when healing matters that I get to use for 3 seconds every 15.
