Mercy need a nerf

Alright here it is: MHDF2J

And be warned, this isn’t what you asked for this is not efficient gameplay. This is a putrid monstrosity of Mercy gameplay. But honestly that proves my initial point even more. I get free value even though I’m terrible. I get away with stupid rezzes and get significant value at times when I’m just afk around a corner. It takes way more effort/skill to deny my value than what I have to put in. If I play most other characters that poorly it’s a 4v5.

You mean the one that makes her go up in a fixed path upwards and makes her extremely easy to explode with any DPS hero that isnt Reaper?

Git gud.

I didn’t ask for a free SJ button,
I didn’t ask for omnidirectional movement, yet here we are.

OW2 Mercy movement gives me a headache because when I use it like normal, a random accidental button press combo causes it to do something different, and I’m not used to it.

The unpredictability of it now is what’s driving people nuts I think, myself included.

Yeah why not F tier? Yet like other busted and op chars like genji/mercy/ana/soldier plaguing 90% games.

YEAH, they are “bad”.

nerf superjump and she would be fine. Maybe longer CD for ress like 1 min.

watching this all i can gleam for it is your okay on mercy but could use alot of work on movment and when to damage boost and second the reason you got so much “free value” is Mauga he was just spawn camping the enemy team all this shows me is mauga is way to over tuned and if you had played moira brig or ana you would have gotten equal to greater value for the effort i saw being put it. also im a bit rusty but im guessing gold or plat

shes a b tier shes near perfectly balanced and just need small changes

genji mercy and soldier are far from op genjis mid b tier mercy is low b tier and soldier is mid a tier not broken just 2 are popular and 1 is popular with cod bros.

and yes shes very predictible if you learn her movment if you dont and just wine all the time i can see how she looks op but in the same vain lucio should be even more op because he moves even more and faster and more unpredictably

so just 2x on the cool down ya your showing you know nothing of what balance is or can be

Seems like it cuz I have shot her out of the air with widow and zen

but killing lucio isnt a necessity to put an end to the pocketed dps (and also you arent fearing a rez from behind a wall against a lucio)
and lucio is really predictable as well

when he is really fast, he isnt really usefull for his team since he just saves his own life.

when mercy does that she keeps her beam on her mates no matter where she looks…and the pockted player will sure look at you as well…

same for mercy you can kill through beam plus i think constant speed changes is harder then a linearly moving hero. ad straffing is huge and changing that tempo can win fights plus lucio is also doing damage far more the damage boost is

and lucio keeps his heal or speed on them your point.

thats just not true you can move very quick around your team keeping them healed while moving doing damage and booping the enemy

Mercy does not need a nerf

after 3 large nerfs in a row, she should be last on any reasonable players list of characters needing a nerf

In that replay, you’re up against a bad team being spawn camped the entire match. And when they do get out of spawn, they hardly bother to shoot you because of your Mauga tank creating havoc. This is hardly an example of Mercy being OP for effort/skill, because nobody is bothering to dive you, flush you out, challenge your pocket, or meaningfully try to snipe you.

If you want to really prove you’re OP as Mercy, try her in 4v4. Here’s a recent replay code (P1FMYQ), and trust me, there are lots of regular players who know how to shred. This match is an outlier as I scored 7 rezzes and had like 14k healing, which are huge for 4v4. But it shows the monumental effort I went through to keep the team alive.

Mercy is a lot different in skill required when enemy team is above bronze spawn bots.

Is this the new ship on the block? :joy:

I only have issues with GA. Its buggy, mercy is too hyler focused on that single ability so heavily uts an issue, shortest CD in the game, highest mobility on a two part movement Soljorn ariel jump, it adds to the flier issue that dictates what you can or cannot play, lack of skill expression, CC immunity and phasing bugs.

If a Mobility hero is a basketball in terms of their movement then Mercy is a Tetherball for her mobility.

She needs some changes and many more fixes.

quite literally the definition of a skill issue lol

mercy doesnt need a nerf she just needs a rework

every mercy player thats like “lol just hit her work on ur aim!!” as if her whole kit isn’t designed around being as hard to hit as possible, genuinely get a grip

the fact that mercy can literally mindlessly hold m1 and GA and get profit is kind of all you need to say

almost every mercy player ive ever met in high elo was boosted by a dps duo, and almost every mercy player ive met has just not been a nice person

make mercy a character that takes some brainpower, or like, active effort?
rn an AI could probably be programmed to play mercy at a diamond level, she’s that braindead easy (and do not try to argue with me im simply not gonna change my mind im sorry, your character sucks and you do too, it’s not my fault or my problem)

Aim is kind of irrelevant when the mercy is dmg boosting and healing from behind full cover.

“Large nerfs”

She just went from incredibly op movement an ease of use to “op movement and ease of use”

Thats the kind of thing you say when you are used to something braindead for too long.

Other heroes that recieve “large nerfs” dl not even need 3 in a row to end up at the bottom of the meta/pick rate lmao.

She can’t though. If you play her like this you’re getting less value than you’d get on literally any other support.

Irrelevant to the hero.

Duo boosting happens in literally every game, if they removed Mercy it would just move onto the next best support for it.

Well, considering she does already, mission accomplished?

An AI can be made to play any hero at a diamond level. AI is crazy good and can even come close to pro level in other games.

Echo and Ashe don’t suck >:(

But this whole reply sounds like the definition of a you problem.
