Mercy mains dont make sense when they say she "isnt fun anymore"

Almost 3/3 of her kit got changed now. I really don’t think she’s the same as before…

Them lies…

Valkyrie, Resurrect and trashy heals come to mind.

The thought process made it quite fun. This is just one aspect though. What you did was oversimplify it to a braindead fit your narrative. Please stop. :slight_smile:

  • Configuration: Spectator

  • A jack of all trades, remotely insufficient in none.

  • Chain beams are boring

I think hiding and Rez was effective enough. There’s well know Mercy players on YouTube who made vids on places to hide and Rez.

If you’re talking about mass rez, it’s more engaging cause the Mercy player decided to use it. Save it for the 4-5 man which is a huge risk or go for the better tempo rez. Valk just feels like I’m a spectator.

Number changes can impact the way a character “feels” without actually reworking their kit.

Since you seem to be incredibly misinformed I recommend you read my old thread here (please expand it since it’s more than one paragraph long)

The main thing that’s stopping me from having fun is that there is little to no thought process when it comes to using Valk, it’s just press Q and fly around like an annoying moth having a bare minimum impact on a fight.

When it came to Mercy’s fun factor back in the ult rez days, the ult made up about 70% of the character’s overall enjoyment this included the thought-process that went into (i.e. observing ult economy, debating between tempo rez’s and mass rez’s), the large teamfight swing that it provided and in general it allowed the Mercy player to feel like they actually had an impact on the pace of the game since her base kit had no early-mid fight swing potential.

So now we’re stuck in a place where, yes, her base kit is still the exact same which means it still provides the exact same amount of fun that it provided back in the day it’s just that now, there’s no pay-off. Resurrect as an ultimate was not just as simple as pressing Q and having the exact same impact every time, the ult was extremely dynamic in it’s use and that’s what Valkyrie is missing in it’s current iteration and it’s why the Mercy community is not happy with it.

I woudl say she was never fun to begin with but even if we say she she was, I still don’t get how she less fun when she received a new ability in the forum of an ult and everything else is the same. It is just the result of it (mass rez to single rez) is what is different.

Think that she had a rework because it was “unfun to play against”
:upside_down_face:

And probably for fun, it means impactful. She lost her impact totally.

The reason I don’t play mercy anymore is because it feels like she doesn’t really have much impact/fun moments in team fights right now. Her ultimate is pretty boring and underwhelming.

Ive been hearing “we need a Mercy to win!” for way to many seasons, so not having her being mustpick is so nice.
However, she does need some buffs currently to be more viable. I just think she needs higher healing output then she has now. Highest healing throughput on singletarget would be nice.

It was fun when you could play mind games with the enemy team.
It was fun when you could determine when it was better to use Rez depending on how the fight was going.
It was fun when you could capitalize on poor ult economy.
It was fun when Mercy had an impactful, yet not overpowered, ultimate. Though I’m not saying that it was a perfect ultimate, and did require some tweaks.

This rework was a mistake, and stripped her of the majority of skill that she required to be used effectively before. Her max potential while using her ultimate is gained by idling in the sky… How is that good for the game or the player? And don’t even get me started on how her entire kit is balanced around a mini ultimate on cd.

There’s no impact moment any more. With mass-rez we could save team fights, or do something to stall the point, or delay the inevitable. Valk is basically taking all the interaction Mercy has with the team, and throws it out the window with no real bonuses. If someone was going to die while you were healing them before you pressed Q, they are still going to die.

There’s “wow” moment no rush of energy because of a split decision you made to save the team. Like Yeah Zen is press Q and heal everything, but his healing is multiplied by a factor of 10 and you want to keep everyone in your orb of happy to ensure they all get those heals, because 300hps makes a difference.

60 hps doesn’t.

Flying doesn’t.

Unlimited ammo doesn’t.

All we want is to have that impact moment back, it’s been gone for way too long.

Fun is subjective i found her unfun in any shape or form.

While I understand your side of that. Playing Mercy with Mass Rez compared to Valkyrie was far more dangerous. A Mercy with Mass Rez ready to go was far more dangerous than Mercy is with Valkyrie. The enemy team knew you had to find her and it made our job a lot harder because one false move or better yet the wrong decision was what gave mercy a thrilling approach. I’m not saying go back to mass rez, I’m not saying do any ith Valkyrie but I’m sick of flying up in the air holding RT, watching my team die and thinking, “well I tried…” only to then be receiving messages of people saying I failed, I didn’t do my job, and that I should quit the game

Hold m1 forever
Infinite healing beam
No aim required
No CD required
Can heal against Shields/DM and around corners.
Chain beam never break.
Dude things are dying wtff? unbalance fix I should undo all damage on the target I’m healing.

Lucio heal aura burns high damage? No
Zen Orb burns high damage ? No
Ana burns high damage? Yes because heal darts + Grenade (both requires to be Aimed and can be countered by DM and Shields also she has 0 mobility)
Moira burns high damage? barely even with healing orb + M1 but she cannot do it constantly because she has 0 mobility, 0 range and her orbs are eaten by DM. She cannot heal tru shields, same than Ana.

Mercy is the only healer who can follow anyone even in air and heal tru barriers/DM.

The Mercy mains that say that liked hiding and letting their entire team die. They don’t think she’s fun because Mercy isn’t allowed to intentionally let their team die anymore.

There is little to no correlation between saying Mercy is no longer fun and liking to let your team die intentionally. :blush: Please refrain from making such assumptions in the future. Thanks in behalf. :slight_smile:

I’m fairly certain if I started going Battle Mercy with a side of Resurrects, I’d get flamed and reported by my team… even though Blaster and Rez are her two most impactful things right now.
