It not just Mercy and clearly there is a balance problem by the simple note…
Never mind? years of unusable heroes? That is imbalance and don’t forget that we got here as a result of Ana and Lucio being hard nerfed because they dominated the meta to the point that Mercy wasn’t picked much until after Feb 2017.
Now we are set to repeat what happened in the past, but some don’t seem to notice the implications that will result.
Is Rez still on “E”? Yes it is still given away for free for such a powerful ability it has next to no cost this is not balanced. It needs to be removed and if it is to stay it must be apart of an Ultimate in order to nerf it properly.
It’s worth reflecting on one’s own words as they sometimes hold what we should look at for self improvement.
I’ve heard enough times before that its a broken record and I’m not the only one…
Actually I’m fine with the removal of Resurrect, and I do not believe that Revert solves all the issues, as a revert will leave her as an “F” tier hero like she was during the early seasons of the game which spurred the orginal buffs and eventually the rework.
I have explained in depth in the some the concepts that cause Mercy to be less fun. In actuality Mercy “fun” issue is directly tied to making Mercy easier to play which is the result of the rework. The rework removed several of Mercy’s weaknesses which means she will be back as a must pick once the META settles again. Anyway, here is a post that goes into the parts that make Mercy too easy to play to this day and will continue until they are removed:
Its not enough to nerf this current hero kit. Valkyrie’s influence will not be balanceable until several parts of it are removed. Resurrect needs to placed within the Ultimate in some way as it gives too power for too little effort which is what is creating this sense of being underpowered because it is not the player who is making Mercy consistent the abilities are just consistent.
She’s in a “bad” spot because they continue to leave a broken ability on a cooldown and thereby have to nerf her other aspects because they gave her too much consistency and that is the problem with Mercy’s current design.
Right now people haven’t adjusted yet to this revert of the 2016 buff in Mercy’s healing which had been done at the time because Ana, and Lucio were being picked 95% of the time while Mercy saw only a <5% pick rate and welp we are headed back to Seasons 1-3 all over again, but this time Mercy requires much less effort to get value out of which is lessening the gameplay experience for many.
