I was on the side, crying:-why Mercy got nerfed again-until I tried PTR
I have played 10 hours of nerfed Mercy on PTR. Mercy is still strong, and she can still keep teammates alive. And I can still get 2 ults ready in 3 minutes.
HOWEVER, it requires much better teammates to cooperate, and a much better game understanding to do that. Because simply after this nerf, Mercy canNOT DIE if you still wants to heal more. BTW, heal 4000hp in 2 minutes is still possible. I had a 5 minute match and healed 8k. Tho there’s a healing Nerf, Mercy’s solo heal potential still exists!
About her Rez, after this nerf, it will become more situational. Each rez will become more risky because the less you heal, the more precious your heal becomes. you will risk more to rez in a team fight because your teammates are more likely to die.
About her ult. It becomes more situational as well. The healing nerf makes her ult more inclined to damage boost, which is okay. I mean, in general, her ult has become more situational because it cannot out heal so much damages. It couldnt with 60hps either facing brust damage.
Last, I am a 150 hour Mercy Main
If Mercy got nerfed again, I am not surprised, but I will love the fact that this will be her last nerf!
