I get that she doesn’t do damage. But the fact that she has Rez, Guardian angel on a short cool down, and mobility to do weird stuff in flight is a bit too much for a hero that’s just hold and play. Something has to give.

They made her movement way too easy IMO. IN OW1 you couldn’t just super jump, reverse GA… There used to be custom game modes to challenge people to pull off difference mercy movement techs and most of her movement was locked behind skill barriers.
Now you just GA / space bar in what ever direction you wanna go it’s that simple… I say revert her back to OW1 mechanics. When a good mercy is almost impossible to hit I’d like to know at least they are a very skillful player. Mercy already has the stigma of being the easiest hero in the game to play. I really liked having the skill associated with mercy movement in OW1.

Mercy is too low input for high value. They need to change that

although the above is stated as if it is a fact, it is an opinion, not a fact
I personally disagree with this opinion
The input needed to play Mercy well is perhaps different than what it takes for other characters, but that doesnt make it lesser
she’s busted like the support role itself , don’t underestimate her glock either . it ain’t weak and it’s very forgiving to shoot with .
it even outdamages moira aka queen dps

Who said anything about playing well…
It takes less input, to get value than other supports. That is factual.

You need to stop, your posts used to be about 50:50 actual topics to bashing Supports, a few weeks back it tilted to 75%, now it’s literally every single post. Idk what supports did to you to get this mega tilted, whether you’re stuck in gold or something but it’s getting embarassing, add something of note to a topic or just stop posting. Because “supports are busted lel” is getting old real fast.
On topic, Mercy absolutely needs some sort of movement rework or tweak because the fact the vast majority of Mercy mains in the upper echelons of ranked can go a game dying once or twice even if they’re focused is just dumb. You hear teams saying “why aren’t you focusing the mercy” while she zooms around at Mach 2, being able to essentially duck, dive, rise and fall at will.

No shes fine the only thing is that dumb extra cool down that needs to go. Shes very venerable if alone cant do much on her own and rez is a huge risk
Also can it not detach beam upon using ult
Maybe at low ranks but if you master her movement you are entirely the opposite of vulnerable. Borderline invincible, sit there flying from person to person like Goku on steroids with instant transmission.

it isn’t factual, actually, it is an entirely subjective evaluation…a judgement call
not at all
there are indeed some players who want her to get a rework, but this is a want, not a need
From my perspective, she has received two consecutive character-gutting nerfs and these should imo both be reversed
& i don’t know what my posts did to you but strike a nerve . nothing i said in my post was a lie . That’s what happens when you tell the truth , ppl get butthurt and try to make YOU the problem .
& lol at the shade throwing; especially after you openly admitted in your following comment that mercy needs a nerf.
stop
THE REZ NEED TO GO after they reworked her ult they should have taken her rez away

Some folks do indeed want Rez to go away, but this is a want, not a need
I prefer Mercy with rez, and I see it as iconic to her
I’ve always thought it was dumb how you can go a dive hero say genji who’s main role is dive the supports but if there’s a mercy your better off targeting other people since killing a mercy on genji is a genuine chore if not impossible when she’s near her team and not inting. Which is just dumb considering the put of dive is kill support low mobility targets she kinda just negates that whole first role
If you don’t care for his opinion as a gm since season 4 of overwatch 1 and someone who’s been playing overwatch since 2016 beta. Most supports are way overtuned/op (except brig Lucio Moira and life weaver as the exceptions). Mercy: she makes hitscans capable of winning games on their own with damage boost whilst having soldi healing numbers and her ultimate is in the upper echelon for good ults and she can rez people on a big unsignificant cool down. Ana: anti counters every tank in the game, she does a lot of healing, her sleep and dmg are enough for her to 1v1 most dps so long as you don’t choke on aiming. Zen: makes tank unplayable bc discord and his kick is just unnecessary. Bap: imor is just an awful concept in general and considering they recently buffed it to effectively heal you of your crit is wild as well he’s the best duelist in the game and can easily kill any dps and some tanks in 1v1s. Kiriko: she’s more so in the middle I wouldn’t call her op but her hit box size + her mobility and suzu make her a little harder to kill her than should be considering she can do 120 on headshots. As a tank main, especially this season in particular, I’ve wanted to leave an incredible amount of games just due to some being unplayable and while some dps picks play a role (example bastion mei not fun) it’s usually mostly due to supports whether it be some pocketed Ashe that I can’t do anything about and need to just hope my dps dive with me or carry or if they play zen and Ana and I just have to be passive the entire game or feed. Supports are busted you just don’t play any other roles so you don’t see fhat I’m assuming
Literally neither were nerfs one was a change where they slightly nerfed her movement while significantly buffing her healing and the next was just reverting her bc mercy tricks like to complain all the time if their queen gets touched
as a mercy main, she most definitely needs a GA revert like how it was in OW1. it actually took skill to pull off techs back then, and quite frankly it felt so much better to superjump rez in OW1. you literally can’t tell the difference between a good mercy and a bad one unless their either heal botting, dying, or glocking. she feels so bad now because her new movement is busted AF so they had to nerf it.
plus, i miss her OW1 movement. it felt rewarding to use, and fun. currently it just feels sluggish and boring to use since everything is literally right there free access in her GA. alec removed any sort of skill expression from her, and he just dumbed her down even further. heck because of this change, it introduced more bugs to GA.
honestly this is wrong. they technically did sure, but your forgetting they made it so you can’t manually put it on cooldown. with any tech you use, whether it just be pressing jump or crouch, you put GA on a 3 second cooldown, which was higher than season 3 (season 3 being 2.5s).
and also, mercy mains aren’t the only ones who cry if their main gets nerfed. your excluding doom and genji mains, maybe even ana mains
if you struggle with mercy you have to play a little bit more, few years. I have no issue to kill mercy as main mercy myself or with any other heroes , but i always say sorry
