If someone thinking Mercy needs changed says that most dps heroes are precariously balanced in a certain way and it’s really silly to have an entire category of character hostage to one ability, the conversation always devolves into “nerf Sojourn!”
Sojourn might be a problem, but that doesn’t mean Mercy isn’t.
Pretty much this. Mercy gets undue scrutiny when she enables heroes compared to other supports who enable other heroes. For example Lucio with speed or Ana with her nano combos.
Dps aren’t held hostage by bluebeam tho
Ashe got nerfed with her oneshot meta sure but she was blatantly OP by herself
Sojourn again is blatantly Overpowered and also needs nerfs
It just goes to show blizzard should never release a high burst damage ranged hero with extreme consistency cuz they’ll always be stupidly OP
You could have an argument for mercy pocket holding pharah hostage but pharah just straight up needs a rework
I do agree pocketing is trash and cheesy tho
Ppl need to stop this “weekly nerf this hero” trend.
You’re dumb enough to being bait into jumping on the bandwagon by the bored who are making fun of you because you believe in everything they say, and we are forced to waste our time to unveil how bad a player you are in reality.
As long as she can 30% boost whoever the most OP dps of the day is and remains practically unkillable, while being able to res the tank, she will always be meta.
Let’s not pretend that this isn’t true or that nerfing sojourn will fix this.
I mean imo thats why she needs a rework, I would like Mercy to be able to be a more consistent healer across multiple metas that doesn’t feel as cheap or frustrating such as when she pockets a Sojourn. I would imagine most Mercy players would want this too so they could play her more and not have to be attached to whatever dps is broken at the current time. I wish I had a suggestion or an idea on how to accomplish this but I’m dumb and I don’t. I do think dmg boost and guardian angle need tweaks but that she should be given something else to compensate for it. That’s about all I can really contribute.
Yeah that’s obviously trashy and your team will always somehow expect you to contest their pocketed dps without supporting you but thats just typical OW things I guess
Its also why I said I find pocketing trash
On paper there’s not much wrong with Mercy but my god I hope she gets changed in ways that’ll actually encourage being pro active and a genuine support instead of a pet for whatevers OP
