If you are standing still for 2 seconds while using res, then you arenât doing it right. There are multiple ways to get off a safe res and still be able to get away from the enemy. In fact Res is even more rewarding now because you have to be VERY selective on if itâs worth using and if you can get it off successfully. And what exactly is wrong with her ult? The timing has already been nerfed before, and it is also very easy to die in it:
-High Noon
-Tac-Visor
-Chain Hook
-Any consistent damage no matter how small (D.Va cannons from across the map) will keep her from regenerating health
-Bio-nade stops her healing, and regen if she is hit
-Can still be one to two shot by Widow
-Can currently still be sucked into Rein charges
-Can be slept
-Can be hit by Earthshatter if too low
-Can be hacked to not be able to res while in Valk
-Ult lasts the same amount of time as Supercharger
Valk is actually decently balanced since there is plenty of counter play
Their analogy holds true. They did change the flavor. It is not like they changed chocolate chip into mint chocolate chip; however, there are different types of chocolate chip ice cream. Mercy was objectively changed. There is no debating that. They gutted her ult, slapped it as an ability, gave her a new ability, and tweaked her 14 or so times. That ice cream ainât the same, fam.
It honestly feels like a space filler, just like #10.
While its not ok to misgender people and its common for players to think only females play Mercy this is not something specific to Mercy, or Mercy mains in general.
People call the players by the gender of their characters. I get called she a lot. It doesnât really matter to me. But honestly, I really donât want to start a fight or be rude and anything. I want Mercy to be fun and all, but is creating multiple threads about reverting her the good way to go about this? She was fun (from what I understand, I never played non-Valk Mercy) and this rework was forced. Instead of focusing mainly on reverting her (which I have concluded will likely not happen, even if Iâm completely OK with this and more), why canât we just leave her like this and when her pickrate drops more, the Devs will notice and theyâll buff her, kinda like Ana. Your trust in the Devs has dropped (perfectly understandable) but it shouldnât mean that you have to produce so much topics about her. Itâs only hurting Mercy more, more forum goers will hate her, the Devs will ignore the posts and nothing will happen.
Gotta ask; how did you as a bastion main feel about the fall-off buff? Or the spread buff to recon?
Sorry, I canât swallow cyanide pills anyway.
I think itâs funny that people complain about how OP Mercyâs Mass Rez was because of the whole âhide and Rezâ fiasco despite Reaper, McCree, Soldier: 76, and a whole lot of other heroes have ultimates that benefit greatly from coming from a hiding spot.
Oh, right. Theyâre DPS characters, and as we know, Blizzard must obey the wills of DPS mains because of their fragile little egos.
I only disagree with this one
idc who/what you are, Iâll refer to you with the gender pronoun of the hero you play
basically no matter what
Nah. That is a misconception. I have been called a âsheâ when playing Mercy once, and if you know how little I play her, that was either extremely well timed, or people just happen to do it all the time. 100 hours on Widow, would you like to wager a guess as to how many times I was referred to as a female? None. I am the furthest thing from a social justice warrior, but that is some blatant sexism. True dat.
Nice Strawman. Well done.
Letâs not forget the part where her ult that they gutted was not gutted, letâs not forget when she could still pull off 3-man rezzes. Letâs not forget when the easiest character in the game was the most powerful.
This is why when she was toned down people started saying she was useless. Itâs like they disabled aimbot for someone who never could really aim,of course they will blow it out of proportion. Mercy is not useless and her ult isnât useless either. People complained about her ult, theyâre buffing it and people are still complaining. Then they ask why they avoid them⌠I wonder whyâŚ
Or the turret spread nerf? Or the headshot nerf?
Bastion has had his uses, including that 3 day period where he was actually viable outside of Junkertown. But Mercy has been consisntently WAY better off than Bastion ever was.
Iâm not a Bastion Main, he is one of my least played heroes. But Iâll still answer to the best of my ability.
The fall-off buff was only for sentry mode, and sentry modes problem is its terrible accuracy. The fall-off buff didnât change much because Bastion is still terrible at longer ranges thanks to his inaccuracy.
As for the recon changes a long time ago, Bastion has a massive hit box, so most of the time recon mode isnât the best. For every second youâre in recon mode, you are playing a worse Soldier: 76.
Being vitriolic towards a specific subset of players isnât gonna be conducive towards your side of the argument. These DPS ults are inherently incomparable anyway
I ran out of likes. have my metaphorical ââ
I think thats alright for most people at least I dont have a problem with that. Plus my gamertag is a female name just as well so⌠yeah no worries.
This.

Iâm quite familiar with the ways of trying to rez without dying. From my experience, they involve either doing it around a corner, waiting for the enemy to be distracted and spinning round and round, or getting a shield. At the end of the day, youâre still standing still, possibly spinning like a top.
Iâm not sure how itâs selective on if itâs worth using, though. If you can get a rez off, there are very few circumstances where you wouldnât, unless someone would die from lack of healing. The only calculation real challenge is determining if you wonât die.
As for Valk, seriously? You list bio-nade, sleep, earthshatter, and charge? These are all very easily avoided, or at least unlikely to work. The only real counters are high noon and tac-visor, which can be avoided by staying close to a wall. Iâm confused why you list consistent damage, though. As far as I know, Valk removes that limitation. Sheâd be very easy to kill if it didnât. I realize Valk is pretty balanced, it just doesnât feel impactful and it doesnât even matter who youâre healing.
Roadhog mains would like to have a word with you.
Bastion mains would like to have a word with you.
Sombra mains after the LoS check nerf w-
Ya i hear ya, totally because DPS mains are our overlords. Totally not because those ultimates are counterable besides âjust kill the Pharahâ âjust spawncamp the Reaper in 2CPâ
