Mercy Mains | 10 Hard To Swallow Pills 💊

[Patroclus-21714]

Shields,stuns,hack,etc are overrated anyway /s

[Kozmitch-1616]

You don’t have to be standing still, she isn’t stuck to one specific spot and you can use natural cover if you know your sightlines. I listed consistent damage because it is true, any form of damage will keep her from healing no matter how small, and yes I do list bio-nade, Earthshatter, AND Charge because i have been two Reins high before, and STILL got sucked into his charge, same distance before and I was STILL hit by Earthshatter, bio-nade has a splash effect so being close to a wall, the floor, or even the person it hits has the possibility of it hitting you too, even though the main reason I listed it was because of its counter to her AoE healing, and yes sleep is listed because an Ana that can land a sleep on a Pharah can probably land a sleep on a Mercy. Sure you can counter High Noon or Tac-Visor by sitting next to a wall, but then they just deny you the ability to even use your ult since you can’t help your teammates, so then what is the point of using it?

DPS main ego so big, when Reaper ults and he says “die die die” we say “thanks thanks thanks” and kindly let him kill us without doing anything about it because that’s our place in the food chain or smthn

Hard to Swallow Pill: This thread is drowning in denial

[Andough-1183]

Honestly?

These aren’t hard-to-swallow pills.

This is common sense. And it’s gross that it’s gotten this far. People act so gross to Mercy mains…

The fall-off buff was only for sentry mode, and sentry modes problem is its terrible accuracy. The fall-off buff didn’t change much because Bastion is still terrible at longer ranges thanks to his inaccuracy.

This is my point, and the point of Mercy players right now. That buff didn’t really change much, and neither will this. The difference is, we already know how Valk is going to play at 60 HPS.

[Patroclus-21714]

Totally

It’s just so funny to me how people keep bringing up Death Blossom as an ult that requires hiding and team wipes or whatever,as if Reaper isn’t destroyed by everything these days.

[metaceejay97-2662]

Well, Resurrect was also very counterable by killing Mercy before pressing Q. Also, it is known that if you Mass Rez in the middle of a firefight, it only gives ult charge to the enemy team. Mass Rez only got overpowered when the devs decided to make her temporarily invulnerable when using it. I would argue that the rework was more annoying due to the fact that Valkyrie was a stronger ultimate, and having Resurrect be a regular ability was the cherry on top.

[Doohickey-11155]

I always get a kick when people try to use, like Reaper and Cree ult, as proof of this Big Definitely True Double Standard.

Like, maybe don’t pick two of the worst ults in the game and you might hold some water. Reaper and Cree have respawn buttons on their Q key. Mercy should count her blessings that her ult isn’t that useless.

[Patroclus-21714]

Mass Rez’s only counter was literally “kill the Mercy” as it had instant cast time.

That logic can be applied to every hero in the game

[Azure-13570]

While they did get nerfed, it was not as bad as Mercy’s rez nerf. I am definitely being as impartial as I can be because despite being a mercy main with over 300 hours I can 1000% agree mass rez was sooo OP and it definitely should not come back…however her rez now is just too underwhelming and I think they went too far nerfing it.

Hard to Swallow Pill: Most Mercy mains don’t want their hero to be OP or a must pick.

I don’t think a lot of them realised even pre rework how much of a needed pick she was. And a lot of people went to revert to that. Having the highest pick and win rate for near 8 seasons in a row.

@RevertMercy-1304

Hard to Swallow Pill: Happiness is subjective.

I don’t think this is anyones real main point when talking about Mercy.

@RevertMercy-1304

Hard to Swallow Pill: Mercy mains are not in a cult

You take cult way too literally. Though not being an actual cult, there is a main discord server for only Mercy players that try and find ways to get Mercy to be buffed. Coming up new reasons, and then coming on the fourms at the same time. Can be compared to cult like.

@RevertMercy-1304

Hard to Swallow Pill: Mercy mains are not entitled, and their dissatisfaction with their hero is justified

Again, another throw away comment

@RevertMercy-1304

Hard to Swallow Pill: Telling someone to play something else or leave the game altogether doesn’t solve the issues

Well actually I think people are forgetting that this game requires switching. In this current burst meta, burst damage, burst heals. It would actually be more viable to swap off Mercy. But a lot of people aren’t use to their healer now being situational and having counters like the rest of the hero’s in this game. This will be hard for Mercys to swallow. My main is S76 and I’m having to switch off when there’s a Doom. There will be maps and hero’s that will require Mercy to swap.

@RevertMercy-1304

Hard to Swallow Pill: As long as it abides by the CoC, all topics, including Mercy topics,

You can’t deny there are mass threads about Mercy, and again you take the wording too literally.

@RevertMercy-1304

Hard to Swallow Pill: Did you just assume their gender?

I think when you play a character, you are playing that character. “I died” “no no no, you did not die, Tracer who is in the game you are playing died”. Kinda thing.

@RevertMercy-1304

Hard to Swallow Pill: Most Mercy mains, like any other main, usually know how to play more than one hero. A lot of misconception

She was actually the mosted one tricked hero by a fair large number of people. And a lot of people do play just her or Dva. Now they have started to flex more.

@RevertMercy-1304

Hard to Swallow Pill: Picture a scenario, where you are enjoying your hero, even though they are considered to be a niche pick. Your favorite hero was then reworked to be completely different against your desires due to someone else’s “opinion” that your hero was “unfun to play against.”

Are saying pre working for a niche pick?
Are you saying the reason why Mercy was changed was because people called out fot it being un fun?

Go watch the dev update, they will tell you she is the mosted mained hero, and tell yo she was reworked because they devs didn’t like how Mercy deliberately left their team to die.

But that’s besides the point your trying tk make, just wanted to get your scenario straight.

@RevertMercy-1304

who are now bitter from how OP your hero was, to “Suck it up, shut up, and deal with it. You’re just entitled and want your hero to be OP again,

Didn’t you have a point before about not to generalise people? Seems rather, odd to throw this in.

@RevertMercy-1304

Hard to Swallow Pill: Mercy has been reverted on multiple occasions in already.

You know exactly what people mean when they say revert Mercy. Don’t nick pick the voice line arguments.

[ToughBoy-11341]

Some of these are bold-faced lies though

[Patroclus-21714]

I play Mercy too and I think Rez is fine as it is

instant Rez was gamebreaking. it had to be nerfed

[Doohickey-11155]

Killing someone before they press the button isn’t counterplay, as they still have the ultimate to get full value from it.

There was an entire mechanics change around this issue. Remember when you could kill Genji mid ult cast and he would still have it? Yeah.

[iTANK-11122]

Well, no one has gotten buffed as hard as Mercy, either, so that just about checks out.

[NCT-11645]

@metaceejay97-2662

Well, Resurrect was also very counterable by killing Mercy before pressing Q.

Really? Then why if DPS mains have some sort of ego privilege why do they have more counterplay than just killing them, like old Mercy? I demand Blizzard to make Genji unable to be CC’d when ulting because all you have to do is kill him and if you can’t do it in the short time of 6s then he deserves the wipe.

Also no more “Justice rains from ARGHHG!”. Pharah is now invincible while ulting and enemy shields are temporarily disabled. This is balanced because Pharah is very killable when she’s not ulting.

Why stop there. Just have her instantly kill everyone in a 15m AoE. It’s counterable though you just have to kill her as she concs in

[shiinotic-1889]

Just hack her as she comes in at high speed

[Doohickey-11155]

It’s like roll, but without the mobility on a reeeeally long cooldown.

Clearly it’s so good it’s the root of a really longstanding conspiracy. McCree has been instareloading for too long. He must pay.
