Mercy's Situation is NOT fair!

You’re being obtuse here though.

Just because you only get to use one at a time does not mean that you don’t have the ability to use the other.

If you want Supercharger and Trans, you need to pick two separate heroes, dictating a third of your team off the bat. But Valk has those options collapsed into one ult, and lets Mercy change between them whenever she wants. The convenience comes at the cost of performance.

If it were really that easy, supports wouldn’t exist.

Then they are either a flanker or are war out of position and are about to die. Either way, they wouldn’t be receiving Valkyrie’s bonuses either.

Why I Have Yet to Not Despise Mercy's Current State

Is it?

And if the forums and Mercy’s Quickplay pickrates are anything to go off of, even more people have stopped playing Mercy because of the rework; because they aren’t having fun while playing Mercy.

Supercharger lasts that long.

I find that pretty funny.

Resurrect was not on Mercy’s E at the time soo…

They changed it because Valkyrie wasn’t really an ultimate.

I regularly pop Valk, heal my team up, damage boost them to clean up, and then chase down a Widow or Pharah with my pistol. That’s three things and that’s just on a normal use. Valk can be used very creatively. It definitely does more than just heal and boost. It can be used offensively, defensively, proactively, reactively, to save yourself from death, to get somewhere quicker, to reach a rez you couldn’t before, etc… You just need some imagination.

I stand corrected then. Thanks for that. I honestly never realized supercharger lasted that long. It’s usually destroyed half way through or you team wiped.

“The developers did something, therefore it is correct/justified” is utterly hilarious based upon the track record of these developers.

Last time I checked, supports don’t stand still and sit on the ground.

Except Mercy can actually quickly move around the field to different teammates, and boosting that flanker can be very useful.

I’ve already read the post.

Yep, because some people liked the rework and others didn’t. Nothing to argue here, as I never said the majority liked it

No no no, it’s more like the vast majority of users all agreed Mercy’s res was a problem, and it got recognized by pro players who said the same thing and blizzard agreed promoting your main healer to hide throughout a team fight was a terrible strategy that shouldn’t be encouraged in a game like overwatch.

Even now you’ll only find this bring back mass res movement on these forums. More people just want to see her balanced, without the devs having to worry about more backlash from the mercy main community

No, it’s like buying a bag of Doritos or a bag of Sun Chips vs. buying three Doritos and three Sun Chips.

So should Mercy damage boost as much as supercharger and heal as much as Transcendence?

Point is Valkyrie is the combination of 2 ultimates but is still incredibly boring and is not impactful, at all. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why you shouldn’t give a main healer the ability to fly…

Nah, I don’t need any imagination (I surprisingly have a lot of that) Ive done pretty everything you listed and I still don’t find the ult fun, when playing overwatch I like making big plays, catching on fire, hearing the voice lines and getting thanks for doing something that helped win. you simply can’t do that with Mercy anymore, of course you can still enjoy her, its all subjective anyway.

Also, why exactly are you DPSing with her ultimate. She’s a pacifist and a main healer…

But it IS impactful.

Barely, and is not engaging at all.

No. Mercy should have something unique as her ultimate, like every other hero in the game.

Engaging doesn’t equate to impactful. She can very much turn the tides. It sucks that we have such polar opposite views on so many things :joy:

79

Cool, I’m not arguing that, just not mass rez without being fixed.

Never said it was. Her ultimate not being engaging is a whole another problem since the rework goals were to make her more impactful and engaging.

Impactful - other than Resurrect, her kit is not impactful at all.

Engaging - she is the polar opposite of engaging.
