actually, it wasnt
it existing is not the same as it being a problem

I really disagree.
If anything, Mercy needs a buff to her damage output, especially not being required to switch weapons to do so. Her staff should be the only weapon to use for heals and damage (pistol should go). I’m sure devs can come up with a great idea (like the one we saw on an alpha footage of PVE half year ago).
To me, Mercy is still very strong if the player manages to use her mobility pretty well. I wouldn’t mind if Mercy had some healing burst that could be pretty easily added to her gamestyle (for instance, increase healing for a few seconds, whenever she’s close to her healing target which adds some risks but can be rewarding when used smartly).
Baptiste has become my-go to support hero with 5v5 because of the heal passive that is a huge buff to the hero. He’s less dependent of the second healer to heal himself (as his shift ability was on a very long cooldown with 6v6).
I’m not much to state he’s in a perfect state (I’m only a Diamond-Master player and I don’t play much Competitive anymore), but I definitely have fun playing Baptiste with that heal passive.
There’s been no harassment on my part
I ask yet again that the personal attacks cease
lmao ty 
he definitely lurks among us tho I can feel it
How is calling you out for your blatant harassment a personal attack? Hanwu could just as easily say you crying and falsely accusing them of attacking you is a personal attack. You need to grow up.

Idk about you. But if mercy healing a single tank and that tank vs 3 damage heroes. Tank still wins
Or Mercy + Damage hero vs one tank. Damage hero wind
She heals enough for these outcomes
How could this happen without directly encouraging Mercy to deal damage rather than damage boost?
put pulse bomb rez on Q and give her an E that temporarily lets her use both beams at the same time on 1 target but it has a overheat effect that reduces her hp/s by 10 for a few seconds and her amp% by 5 for a few seconds after to give it cost-benefit and skillful/punishable not just a “no u cant kill my pocket” button
then she has more midfight clutching power and gets more opportunities to amp and get offensive pressure without a flat healing buff plus she has to earn rez and is easier to balance
I imagine megadodo is talking about all the times hawnu has called him a liar for having a difference of opinion.
Megadodo is allowed to think that mercy is fine, you are allowed to think mercy needs a buff, that doesn’t make either of you liars.
Calling a person a liar (for having a difference of opinion) is an attack and it comes off as really immature.
I love mercy threads theyre literally all the same and its been 5 and a half years and we are still not satisfied lol kinda insane really
its funny to think there may be like 1 million posts on these forums about these mercy issues

My idea was to either remove damage boost and give her something else or simply make damage boost a passive that works for a few seconds only (whenever she switches healing targets or depending on the distance with her target - being in a 5-10 meters radius or less while healing activates damage boost for 2-3 seconds).
I feel like damage boosting should make Mercy take more risks so that could be an answer to that.
Mercy’s right click should be used for an offensive new ability. Switching weapons is not a good mechanic in my point, never was. That’s what I don’t like about Torbjorn either.
no it isnt. source? proof? i have source/proof unlike you, here it is, ya ready? Mercy is the only support who hasn’t been played in OWL recently ! 
your opinion doesnt equal fact Dodo bird. I know you want it to, but it doesnt. Have several seats please.

I disagree. I would hate to see Mercy fall into the rest of the support category where you have to engage with the enemy for value, instead of assisting your team. That’s what makes her worth playing for me, is that I actually get to feel useful outside of healing.

damage boost beam now doubles as an electric whip she can strike enemies with (spinning around in circles screaming die die die like a handheld electric fan). Or a giant octopus in valk with Mutiple blue whip prongs like a cat and nine tails raking it across the point doing probably no damage but itd look funny
I’ve been saying this a lot but… getting ult charge from reviving would be really nice.
That way you can get your ult even faster, it doesn’t have any instant impact by itself so it wouldn’t hurt to get it just a bit earlier than everyone else and add some extra utility.
One other change I just came up with:
- If you have used rez while your ultimate was ready, your next rez during valkyrie mode will be instant.
Or just your first rez during Q will be instant
Unfortunately, most people from this community don’t want Overwatch to be a game about diversity of gameplay like it used to be when first released in 2016.
If you guys expect Mercy to have a buff to her beam healing output, you’ll be anything but really disappointed as it would her make a go-to pick and would give less value to the importance of aiming, which again is what most people in this community don’t want. To but it blatantly : it will most likely never happen.
Going from 6v6 to 5v5 is also a proof that devs and the community don’t want specific synergies between heroes that don’t include pure FPS characteristics (hence why the two-tank synergy is gone). They want to shoot at things and get value for it with a low TTK - lots of respawn.
Then accept Mercy’s current state, which again for me, is more than fine (and you can play her the exact way you described it). She may have less healing output than many other support heroes but it’s the most reliable type of healing and she has the best mobility among all supports (with Lucio).
Either buff her damage or keep her like in current state but I don’t think she’ll get a healing buff to her beam any time soon (unless they come up with another healing ability that requires more conventional FPS aspects = aiming).

Eh? I’ve never seen that before, and I heal tanks as Mercy pretty consistently. Who’s the tank you’re healing, Roadhog? Reinhardt with his shield up? Gold mode Orisa?
While there’s certain cases where Mercy healing will be enough against three damage sources, that’s entirely due to cool down abilities that prevent the tanks from taking damage.
In my defense, I think Mercy only needs a small tweak before she’s perfectly fine. Others thinks she needs more damage in some way, and then you have a few who think Mercy should get mass rez back or single target rez as an ultimate (which would suck balls either way).
tfw unorthodox gameplay becomes orthodox gameplay and everyone is a moira main thinking she’s the best or most reliable healer or a roadhog whenever a shield is needed
