Mercy is unhealthy for the game

Its not fun to play with her or against her.

Babysitting Sounurn, Pharah, or Ashe is not really a fun playstyle. Maybe its because I am in lower ranks and I don’t see any hitmarkers when my teamates shoot but I want damage boost removed

you don’t have to babysit sojourn or ashe anymore because of her now being a “triage healer” with her 50% healing boost when crit. I have had more fun pocketing a tank since you can have fun moving around the tank instead of hiding behinf a wall with widow or ashe.

Welcome to the club.

With zero transparency from devs we dont know was this new mercy their goal or they just incidentally made a immortal pocket healbot monster with useless wings

She really isn’t imortal. You just can damage anyone else but her and she cant heal

It reminds me hide&seek game. You have to know map very well to quickly find place where to hide from attacks, because your tank wont protect you

I’ve died a lot because they focused me and seen the enemy mercy get focused and killed

Maybe they shouldn’t have made changes that incentivize pocketing more

What else would you do with mercy? I think they show make db a meter that lasts 5-10 seconds before ending and having to recharage like dva’s matrix but doesnt require a cooldown between boost

Im exaggerating. Of course she is mortal, more then ever. This bitter truth makes me cry

happy tears or sad tears? I miss immortal mercy. I cry sad tears

  1. Revert her movement to OW1

  2. A meter on DB would be great, it’s something I hear a lot of high SR Mercy mains advocate for. I also like nerfing the boost specifically on headshots to hurt some of her synergies.

After, we can re-evaluate where she stands.

Nothing, constant improvement is a myth. She was at peak of her performance and her balance was almost perfect. Damage booster is a grey zone, but they didnt touch it at all

I agree for the most part but nerfing it more than the meter would make it unused even more by low SR players that don’t even know what blue beam does

Always at the peak of performance. (moth meta rip)

Funny thing is that I didn’t even play during moth meta. I wish I played during moth. I took multiple breaks and I wish I didn’t. I probably woulda hit over 200 hours on mercy and maybe hit over high plat in support

I hate new passive so much because she dont got constant regen anymore

You now understand the one thing in this game that Mercy mains and the entire rest of the playerbase actually agree on (that dmg boost is bad for the game).

PS: fix your title - you mean dmg boost is unhealthy, not Mercy

db isn’t bad for the game, it’s just the people that use it consistantly do. If you see a mercy damage boosting than they have an advantage if your mercy heal bots or rarely uses db and if you can’t kill the mercy than…
