Mercy (sort of) needs a slight buff

I can’t really tell what blizzard wants mercy to be. if they want mercy to be a main healer then bap, ana, and moria will outshine her. if they want her to be a secondary healer then I don’t think she has much going on with her kit.

I think the buffs should be very minimal and slight. do some small adjustments with her rez? I don’t think her damage boost needs to be touched though.

How about an ability with 3sec of Valk
And an ultimate with a single instant rez.

Honestly Mercy probably needs a small rework

too much power is in res, and its literally just given to Mercy, a res should be earned

I think they should rework her to put res back on q (but as a single target) and give her some kind of other utility on E, maybe an anti stun

Just make valk a single strong beam/make the main beam stronger and the secondary beams weaker so it’s less of a spectator mode and you actually still need to make some decisions. And fix her awful on fire rate.

i cant tell if this will either be op, balanced or useless. but this sounds like a more fun playstyle ngl

Nah, just nerf other heroes. Mercy’s fine

Mercy needs more love in general in my opinion.

She is what the baseline for a main support should be. I think she’s fine and balanced. Given her utility, consistent heals, and her mobility, I think she’s great.

I’m not sure what rank you play at but I haven’t been asked to swap off of her in a long time. I’ll make the swap if the situation calls for a different healer, like a Moira or an Ana, but she’s still very useful.

Ah, here we go again.

To be fair, Res is legit the only way I seem to be able to keep my ‘questionable’ team alive half the time if I opt to flex and volunteer to heal. I could be healing and boosting people and they still make dumb choices that get them killed, the ones who try staying on the points and payload, I have to prioritize them, which makes Res kind of required when the rest of your team don’t want to help at all.

If i remember correctly, she does have 60 during valk.

I agree, she is a bit weak as a healer right now.

to op:

I (a support main) personally find Mercy in her current state to be fun to play, effective, and well-balanced. As such, i dont feel she needs any changes at this time

But

This is what it already does

Valk raises her healing to 60 per second.

It’s been this way for over a year now, and was changed in November of 2018.

In case you don’t know. they buffed her HPS to 60 DURING VALKYRIE.

She heals for 50 hps and 60 hps during valk.

Even her Wiki says it.


She’s pretty bad without another main healer, anyway.

It is 60 during Valkyrie, that’s like basic mercy knowledge.
Unfortunately, she got her 50hps nerf in the same patch that buffed every other support so now we’ll never know if she would be okay with 60hps or not.
