“Frustating to play against” is what described Mercy’s 1.0’s Resurrect Ultimate.
But, her new ultimate, Valkyrie, is basically a cheap spectator mode. What kind of ultimate is that.
Ultimates are supposed to be game changing, being able to change the tide if used correctly. Tell me, does her ultimate do that? No. Not at all.
Why is it Mercy the only hero that was changed dramatically for being “Unfun and frustating to play against?”
Tactical Visor may not be one of the most powerful ultimates, but it’s cheap. Legal aimbot hacks, basically.
Widowmaker, more hacks. Wall hacks, and the ability to snipe from all accross the map.
Junkrat, again, may not be the most broken of them all, but extremely unfun to be killed with and USING it.
McCree, aimbot.
Genji, ez ultimate.
D.VA, amazing AoE ultimate with a huge blast radius.
Pharah, a ez kill to all shields/living beings on existence
Reinhardt, frustrating to be stunned and wait for your death when he ACTUALLY gets it right
Zenyatta, 5 seconds worry-free for all the team
And Brigitte, well uhh… let’s not talk about her.
What do you notice in all of these heroes? Their ultimates are unfun and frustrating to play against, but “Wait, Mercy is unfun? Oh no, nerf immediately. Our DPS are not getting PoTG and they’re sad.” And that’s how she became the less fun, less game-changing, and most boring hero of all the game. No hero compares to her level, every hero of the roster has the chance to make sick plays with their ultimates and change the tide. But Mercy? Nah. Her healing output can be easily out-healed or out-damaged, even when in Valkyrie.
Hypocrites.
