“Mercy is unfun and defenseless”
The same person: “I want Mercy to be meta”
Why?! If it’s not fun to play her, why do you want her to be meta and force yourself and everyone else to play her? Learn a new character and let it go. Learn Ana; problem solved.
when a majority of people who play a hero say they’re boring, you know there’s a problem
you’re a liar and you’re spreading misinformation, no mercy main EVER has said they want her to be meta, literally any mercy post says “i dont care if shes meta or good, i just want her to be fun”
Then don’t play her.
Mercy to me has always been more of a “oh no I’m stuck with 200ms ping this game” kind of character than something to actually main.
First of all, no Mercy main ever? Maybe not you but I’ve seen countless Mercy mains complaining about this Ana meta.
Second, she seems to be considered ‘fun’ and ‘satisfying’ only when she’s broken. Flying in every 10 seconds while being invulnerable and resurrecting someone is ‘fun’ but it’s broken as heck. Mass rez, while not a big problem in a coordinated environment, was still very unhealthy for ladder.
Also let’s say they completely reworked mercy and made her more like Ana. With multiple offensive options, debuffs, etc. What happens then to the people who only play Mercy because they have 30 fps or something?
TL;DR if you want a fun healer play Ana. If you have 30fps or 200ms and can’t play anything else, play Mercy.
I love playing Ana as support you are either shooting at your teammates or opposing sides and besides I am not good at aiming so most of my shots are coming from my third-person perspective not first-person where her aim is at absolute when using scope. Majority of my play style with Ana is all about staying far behind my team while I provide support and attack from behind specially really good time look for long-range players usually Widow Maker, Bastion, Pharah, and another Ana player better than me. To summarize what I have commented basically stick behind your team, provide health by shooting at them, attack opposing team from behind, and if you have ult give to a team who could have the advantage at fifty percent chance of winning.
If you play Mercy and enjoy it then this thread isn’t about you.
If you just want to play Mercy then do it. If you want to justify your pick and ‘do a good job’ too then duo with a pharah, a hanzo or a hitscan main. Problem solved.
To be honest, a lot of the things Mercy players complain about now are the exact same reasons I have never liked playing her. I think a lot of then would be happier on other heroes.
Again same argument. Some people play Mercy because they literally can’t play anything else. They have really bad hardware or really high ping or stuff like that. If they made Mercy more like Ana, what character should those people play?
She is viable, just situational. She’s still good on maps with lots of high grounds. She’s still really good with a Pharah and decent with Hanzo and hitscan heroes.
I used to be a Tracer otp but I learned Mei to deal with Brig and GOATs style comps. I didn’t complain about how Tracer isn’t viable anymore.
