Was with you up until this point. Pocket healer isn’t supposed to heal everybody. Kind of defeats the purpose of being a pocket healer. I do think she really needs some help though. They are right when they say she still excels in her intended niche, the problem is her niche is situational at best.

That is a really great way of putting it and definitely how I feel when playing Reaper. That is actually the problem with most of the “problem” characters. Well… Outside of Bastion. If he is working, you are basically Batman, but if he is not, you are still Batman, but the version where Bane broke that fools back.

That was kind of also a point I was hoping it would touch. Some people calling her a pocket healer, then also calling her a main healer.

Mercy is a off healer. It’s what they wanted from her.
Sad when even she is out chosen by lot healers now. Blizzard balance in a nutshell

So why not ask devs to buff Mercy in a way that doesn’t involve Multi-Rez?

No shade no tea, but my post had nothing to do with multi-rez lmao. It’s not talking about the past or future of Mercy. Just the present.

Junk, reaper, and a rein going swang mode are all prime targets to pocket in the lower elos. They do lots of damage and don’t need much aim.
I didn’t say he didn’t. I want all heroes to be fun and balanced in Overwatch and for every player to enjoy playing the game. 
Oh… very slowly flags

This ^ . She performs that awkward not quite a main healer, but not quite an off healer either role. Least when Ana was released in 2016 and Mercy was ‘a troll pick’ her ultimate could redeem her. But that’s not the case anymore.

Mercy’s niche? Being a corpse the enemies trip over as they march upon your team that has insufficient healing.

To be completely fair, us Reaper mains are known more for being edgy teenagers than polite individuals. My personal opinion is that no hero is more deserving of balance than another. They just need to be balanced. I wish the developers agreed with my highly controversial sentiment.

I do enjoy playing Reaper. He was my first dps to buy golden guns for. Sadly I do see his faults, and it is a pain

Im low enough rank for her to be effective as a pocket, but even still if everyone is focusing on our smur- I mean team mate, they will go down. Which is usually when I shame the DPS on our team by going battle mercy.
My point being that even at lower ranks like mine she is still in a bad place. The healing nerf was never the answer
Biggest issue is many of Mercy’s player base actually loath Valk as an entirety. It removes you from the fight and offers zero impact. Even with a single rez it would still be trash.
