Nerf mercy damage boost and rez

I see, so your data is based off primarily OWL.

They probably have not updated it yet. The entire OWL site is always glitchy, even with token rewards.

ya tokens dont work there, you should view matches from the live tab instead of the main page so you get tokens, otherwise it wont work

Yea that is the case for me, also the live tab did not load for me. It worked after I cleared my cookies.

But… nothing in Mercy’s kit has changed for ages. She didn’t suddenly get better. Damage boost has always been good. But it’s been obsolete because shields were so prominent. No shields? More chance to push damage boost.

Ana is also a staple in this meta. Is she broken too? They’re just the most efficient team synergy right now. If mercy had received some crazy buffs I would consider your point. But the fact that she’s been in the same state for months and hasn’t been dominant in the meta leads me to believe she’s just being used to enable a composition that is overall good. I’m sure once roadhog gets nerfed and shields come back in fashion she’ll drop out of favor again.

More like they just suck in general now, Baptiste too. I’m not sure what the devs were thinking with the recent support changes, game feels less balance overall now.

I disagree strongly with the OP

But this shouldn’t have been false flagged from what I can see. It really makes it feel like you can’t say anything negative about mercy without being censored because of it

Same shot happened to doomfist, doesn’t change rhe fact he was nerfed to oblivion

Oh yeah I agree. We shouldn’t be flagging something just because we disagree with it. Shutting down arguments doesn’t help.

Moira and Bap are still super strong, just not meta.

Brig is weak.

Moira wasn’t meta before the recent nerfs, now her healing is trash, Baptiste even more so. Baptiste is almost as bad as Brig now.

I’d rather die more with bad positioning than being healed with bad positioning and not dying, same thing applies for the ennemy, they should die more often with bad positioning rather than staying alive because mercy decided to tape her m1 on them

You mean there’s a trend of people figuring her out and actually USING AN ABILITY instead of talking about how boring she is?

It’s fine, all kinds of “Mercy Mains” are starting to realize that you can do more than sit there pocket healing someone. All those people saying how she has no impact finally found that their mouse has a second button. It’s fine.

No. Nerf ashe and widow. Adhe being a beyound busted jack of all trades who has to worry about no one but a better tracer than her or a better widow isnt mercys fault.

Then it sounds like Overwatch with it’s role system isn’t the game for you. It seems as though you prefer a more traditional FPS game rather than something ability based. There is no reason to bury characters just because some people think that they are, “easy.”

It is quite easy to make the claim that you would rather be dead more often until it actually happens. Often times the people that say things like this are the first people to start complaining when they are dying often. I’m not saying that you specifically complain when you die.

I mean I main doomfist, the most killed hero in the game, dying isn’t a foreign concept to me. Also I think you forgot the part where I mentioned BAD POSITIONING. But no, mistakes shouldn’t be punished

I didn’t forget that part, it just didn’t seem important. Overwatch is played by people of all skill levels. I’m sure you would never make a mistake or just have a bad game feeling out of sync with your team. I’m also sure that you would never get salty at your team for not saving you even if it was your mistake. (I mean, I don’t know you, but we’ve all done that…)

Saying that you would rather die for your mistakes every time while getting salty at teammates when they are unable to cover your mistakes makes that a double standard.

I never said that mistakes shouldn’t be punished, I am clarifying that being healed makes this game far more enjoyable than walking back from spawn over and over and over.

But no, walking back from spawn every 20 seconds is fun.

Overwatch is a team based game, again if you don’t want people to help protect you when you make a mistake, perhaps this isn’t the FPS for you.

and suddenly, mercy is OP without any changes. Lololololololololololololol.

Some people just need a buff in their head.

It’s scary isn’t it? Last week people were saying that Mercy was underwhelming and that the other supports were better than her. This week she is ruining the game… I just don’t get it. People don’t seem to want to understand that this game is in a messy state because they keep witch hunting every character… I just wish that they would stop… But they won’t until the role that counters their work is gone. Then they will be upset because they can’t stay alive…
