They made a lot of questionable choice with Mercy’s rework. And to balance her they didnt nerf her really hard to be below average first then slowly buff her

They didn’t nerf her really hard?

@Titanium-1686

here is the list of nerfs to Mercy since Mercy 2.0’s introduction:

• Pistol damage in Valkyrie reduced from 30 to 20.
• Mercy’s pistol no longer receives an increase in fire rate while in Valkyrie.
• Valkyrie flight speed reduced from 11 meters/second to 9 meters/second.
• Guardian Angel’s cooldown no longer resets upon Resurrect’s activation.
• Valkyrie no longer reduces Resurrect’s cooldown.
• Resurrect now has a 1.75 second cast time unless Valkyrie is active.
• Mercy’s movement speed is reduced by 75% while casting Resurrect.
• Resurrect can now be interrupted through CC, knockback, and death. If interrupted, Resurrect begins its cooldown.
• Mercy is no longer exempt from Resurrect’s cast time while Valkyrie is active.
• Valkyrie no longer grants a charge of Resurrect upon activation.
• Valkyrie’s GA movement speed bonus reduced by 50%.
• Valkyrie’s duration reduced from 20 seconds to 15 seconds.

And finally:

• Mercy’s primary beam healing output reduced from 60 health/second to 50 health/second.

They nerfed her so hard that they ended up going for the one thing that wasn’t changed by the rework at all. At which point, she became so trash that they decided to give her back 55HP and now we come to present-day Mercy. Meh in OW1 and hot garbage in OW2.

Bastion and Sym players understandably get nothing from the developers but their nerfs and changes just can’t be compared with Moth Mercy which was so broken it needed several volleys of nerfs to address.
