Mercy
Resurrect cooldown increased from 30 to 60 seconds.
Damage boost reduced from 30% to 20%.
Dev Notes- We weren’t happy with Mercy’s ability to enable certain damage heroes and resurrect was being used too frequently according to our metrics. We will keep a close eye on Mercy to make sure she doesn’t feel playable in the near future.
Damage = (Damage*1.3) + CriticalDamage
That would be an interesting way to balance it. Damage boost would basically only apply to the base damage and not to critical damage. I’d think they would also be inclined to add that change to Discord orb if they go that route.
Also no worries about PharMercy, considering they just nerfed Pharah attack speed.
Yeah, though its not exactly a concern to me since its only really a problem on console which they can balance seperately anyway.
What about not nerfing a character that is barely viable?
Only Ana and Mercy are ok in the support roster.
The damage boost is not the problem, she had 30% dmg boost since beta, at some point the devs even talked about buffing it but created some problems, so I doubt they nerf it, and rez is already kinda bad, 6 ressurrections per average on a match is low enough, with 60 secs would be better to completely replace it with something else.
Damage boost is already at 25%, unless I’m totally remembering that wrong. If they nerf her, it’ll probably be in time taken to res and maybe back down to 50 HPS.
What’s with all these Mercy nerf posts all of a sudden?
Holy hell this would trash the character
DB is 30%
I just can’t see them nerfing DB either way. They’d probably nerf Ashe first.
That was for Zenyatta and it was recently buffed back up to 30.
And I don’t see them doing that to resurrect. They changed her old resurrect because they didnt like Mery hiding to use it and right now the best way to use it is still by hiding.
If they make it even more dangerous to use, youd just be better off not using it at all or hiding even more than she does already.
Okay but make it instant and reset GA cooldown
I doubt this will happen
Mercy doesn’t need 60 healing per second
She will if you nerf Dmg Boost or Rez
She can be buffed or tweaked in other ways, but not that. She recently got 55 healing per second and even that is a stretch.
If they wanna nerf dmg boost and Rez, they gotta buff her healing. That’s how that works
Who says that they are going to Nerf Rez?
Bad DPS are whining about Rez, the weakest part of Mercy’s kit lol. Even if they just nerf dmg boost, she’ll need buffs to her healing or Rez to compensate
They don’t need to buff her healing at all. They just buffed her healing not too long ago.
The game doesn’t need healing to start climbing again.
If they nerf her damage boost there are several ways to tweak her other than healing.
The faster weapon switch is nice. She feels super sluggish when trying to defend herself and switches to her gun.
They can buff the weakest part of her kit which is her ultimate. They can do multiple things with their ultimate like:
Have it do a flat burst of healing when she activates it like 100 HP to all her teammates around her.
They can make it so she doesn’t have to switch off damage and healing she does both with one beam while in Valkyrie form.
They can do any of that.
